Trump: "Russia wants to see Ukraine succeed. It sounds a little strange but President Putin was very generous in his feeling toward Ukraine succeeding, including supplying energy, electricity and other things at very low prices."

Grew up as rurally as it possible to be in Kent and the local Hunt was nearly universally despised as townies cosplaying on an idea of countryside that belonged to the 18th century. Ban hunting with horses instead and make the fuckers keep up with the hounds on foot.

Keir Starmer’s government has been told it has “alienated rural people” as traditional Boxing Day hunts gathered across the UK ahead of plans to ban trail hunting.

Vole was introduced into English from Orcadian via Barry's 'History of the Orkney Islands' (1805), where he notes that 'The Short-tailed Field Mouse...has the name of the vole mouse'. Mouse was dropped and we were left with vole, which is ultimately from Old Norse vǫllr 'field', by way of Norn.

"The US is now more an enemy than an ally. Perhaps, in 3 years’ time, a Democrat president might be elected. But perhaps not. It’s not only a question of what damage will have been done by then globally & domestically by & in the US. The new global disorder will not simply revert to its old state."
As Trump attacks Europe, Starmer sends ministers to undermine the ECHR.
The 'West' is not coming back. In 2026 the EU has to face this, move faster, with other democracies around the world in this new global disorder. The UK may find it hard to keep up.

Russians are now boasting about Trump being on their side.
Lavrov said that the only Western leader to care about human rights in Ukraine is President Trump.
He then blamed the EU for changing the agreement to call Ukraine to comply with EU human rights policies.
"Feel the difference," Lavrov said.
Matviyenko's face behind him speaks volumes.

The Witkoff plan made headlines for demanding Ukraine give up Donbas.
Less noticed: Washington would pocket half the reconstruction profits, hand Moscow a $200bn investment vehicle, and stick Europe with a $100bn bill.
Using assets Europe froze.
EU, you ok with this? Use them first.
