Let's see when Erdogan decides he had enough...
Yesterday in the Black Sea, a Turkish-flagged cargo ship, which was heading from a Ukrainian port to Turkey, was attacked by a suicide drone, according to media reports
This is already the fourth attack on ships associated with Turkey in the Black Sea in recent weeks.
Turkey is a NATO member.

A federal judge has blocked Trump administration efforts to reallocate Department of Homeland Security counterterrorism and security grants away from states that won't cooperate on the president's immigration enforcement policies.
Trump-appointed judge: DHS must restore disaster grants to Democratic states
To "hold hostage funding" for these programs based on what appears to be "Defendants' political whims" is unlawful, judge rules.

Reform UK are learning the hard way that it's easy to shout insults at the players from the touchline. Far harder to get up on the pitch and play. They've been an absolute disaster wherever they are elected.

Annexing another country?? You know who annexed neighbors? Nazi Germany. They annexed Austria first followed by the Sudetenland (part of Czechoslovakia) then Bohemia and Moravia.
When will the Senate and House of Representatives stop this? How many people will die from a completely needless war?

This is appalling! Shame on the British Government!
Their demands are reasonable, their treatment is disgraceful. The government's intransigence is killing the #PalestineAction hunger strikers. Just as its complicity has assisted the genocide in Gaza. It needs to wake up right now to the moral consequences.
