Russians are literally writing US foreign policy, they have more power projection in DC than in Kyiv LMAO

Given that trump doesn't honour his own deals, I can't see him being any sort of deterrent.
The theatre is all about blaming Ukraine and Europe and using that as a justification for the disengagement that has already happened.

Legitimate change to consumer law: reintroduce the clause where a ‘discounted’ price can only be advertised if the previous ‘higher’ price was charged for a minimum period of time, e.g. 30 days of previous 90

While they’re at it:
Ban ‘Black Friday’ promotions ending before Black Friday occurs

EXCLUSIVE: US presidential envoy Steve Witkoff advised Russia on how to pitch Ukraine plans to Trump, in audio files reviewed by Bloomberg

Witkoff Advised Russia on How to Pitch Ukraine Plan to Trump

US presidential envoy Steve Witkoff, fresh from the triumph of the Gaza peace deal, held a phone call last month with a senior Kremlin official to suggest they work together on a similar plan for Ukraine — and that Vladimir Putin should raise it with Donald Trump.

Maria Popova @popovaprof.bsky.social · 1d

Ru proposed 28 points aiming to build on them and get even more. Instead, push back by Ukraine, Europe, and US public opinion + Senators has likely watered down some of the points, making it likely that Ru will reject the plan it initiated itself. The Trump admin will look like the chumps they are.

And hence trump has no business accepting russian or drafting US 'peace' deals.
But Europe lets him because of their own inability and lack of courage to step up to the plate.

Sander Tordoir @sandertordoir.bsky.social · 3d

The United States is no longer providing any financial support for Ukraine according to Kiel's tracker - and has not been for a few months now (although I do wonder how one counts the intelligence support).

Europe is footing the bill alone.

Trump amplified foreign-based accounts repeatedly, often opting to amplify foreign accounts over actual US MAGA accounts. meidasnews.com/news/trump-a...

One account boosted by Trump promoted banning Ilhan Omar from office. The account is based in Africa.

How about that pic of trump you keep threatening him with. Surely it is in the public interest to reveal it!?

Captain Mark Kelly @captmarkkelly.bsky.social · 2d

I swore an oath to the Constitution in 1986. I've upheld it through 25 years of service and every day since I retired.

If Trump's trying to intimidate me, it won’t work. I’ve given too much to our country to be silenced by bullies who care more about power than the Constitution.

“Without sovereignty - military, health, financial and digital - we can no longer guarantee the rule of law.”

As for the amenity of local communities - the local community and tourists didn't give these places enough business which is why they were available in the first place. The M-hotel (I pass it twice every day) has struggled from the day it was opened.

So it seems that it is Sinn Fein policy to reduce the amount of accommodation available for those seeking protection from the russian war on Ukraine and asylum seekers.

So much for being progressive!
