Can't tell you how much I hate having to wake up each day and find out what fresh hell Musk and Trump have gotten up to since I went to sleep.
Who the fuck thought this would be a good idea?

🇺🇦🇺🇸 Zelensky has no intention of apologizing to Trump, - BBC
❗️He noted that he had been to the White House for several dozen hours and that his visit was in itself a sign of respect. He said that he had "not offended anyone" and that dispute that erupted was not positive for either side.

Have we really become so angry and intolerant that we can’t even let the vice president enjoy some skiing in peace the day after he signed off on the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians?

Whatever you think about Ukraine and Russia, you have to admit that Zelensky's refusal to fellate Trump and Vance on tv was a major diplomatic failure.

Let me state the obvious.
Ending the war is very easy.
Putin must cease his attacks on Ukraine and stop the war that he started.
But Putin has no intention of ending the war, and we do not have any quick and easy ways to influence him.
We see no proof that Putin is interested in real peace.

We stand by Ukraine.
We will step up our support to Ukraine so that they can continue to fight back the agressor.
Today, it became clear that the free world needs a new leader. It’s up to us, Europeans, to take this challenge.
