...with a flash/torch.... not even a low light shot.

... are they not prosecuting a Swiss citizen for fighting on the Ukrainian side? Hardly impartial.

Attach a helium balloon to the end on them all and make a drone net.

To be fair, Johnson may well have based his entire worldview on the bible. He just never managed to read past Genesis.

The useful information would be if ScotGov have broken even, or made a profit over the period of ownership. A profit over that time would suggest its actively contributing to people of Scotland. Paying for our healthcare...

Still not released the Russia Report though.

America disapproves... well, hell, that makes it all fine. At this rate there will be nothing left of the western alliance by the time the US get around to voicing their "discontent" in November 26. The world is not waiting for the vanity fair editorial that declares him ghosted.

Strange, before he abandoned his allies the Kurds he'd have had massive influence in Syria. Now suddenly, he needs to find it again.

Not an error. Anyone who has experience of BBC in Scotland know they twist things on a regular basis. What might be considered an error is the inconsistent narratives, as if they forgot which one they were following.

Don't forget... these folks consider Scots language to be substandard English.

Essentially, the US are happy to drive the rest of the world to ww3 but God forbid they find a way to deviate from their processes to bring their own Govt to heel.

The timing is interesting. Ukraine takes out several tankers pushing up the cost to ship Russian oil, then suddenly the US is interested in restricting sanctioned oil tankers from Venezuela. I do wonder if Venezuela was the next cheapest taking Russias customers..

The question is really even when Trump is removed can the west just the US? The US govt has turned out to be so feeble in the face of enemies domestic, that other countries really must consider that going forward. The US govt is incapable of maintaining its posture, not just Trump...

.. and you would have lost the war 2 years ago. If they'd crossed the border Belarus would have claimed they'd been invaded. They'd have made lots of noise whilst doing the bare minimum as they poisoned international politics to make providing munitions to Ukraine impossible.

Unfortunately he's destroying the Western World, not just the USA.

Trump won't live long enough to see that happen. The retribution in the USA after this lot will be biblical. Europe simply has to adjust its expectations, make its own supplies and get more realistic. Mandated military service is already returning.

Its interesting actually I've been on BlueSky since very early days and initially my follows grew quickly. On X I had about 700 odd and growing swiftly. On BlueSky its stalled just shy of my own follows, almost as if its tracking it. Not 1-1 but I never seem to overtake.

I think when one goes it'll fracture quickly. I don't understand enough about Russian internal politics to understand how its being held together currently. Seems to me its largely fear and organised crime, but thats a pretty uninformed opinion.
