What is clear, although European politicians are still too scared to say it, is that the United States is becoming a serious threat to European democracies, the UK included.
Who could have predicted, a year ago, how far the US would fall?

Trump was elected over a year ago, promising to end the Ukraine war in 24h.
Ukraine accepted his ceasefire proposals; Russia rejected them. Yet he pressures Ukraine more than Russia.
Most Americans support Ukraine, yet he goes against their will because he is compromised

At 0900 every morning in Ukraine, we pause for a moment of silence to remember those who died due to Russian aggression.
This Christmas morning at 0900 Ukraine time, I am thinking about those who are no longer here to celebrate Christmas with their families.

What should be blatantly obvious, & totally unacceptable, is the restrictions Russia wants to impose mean Ukraine can never be free.
No freedom to join NATO
Forced to limit armed forces
Forced to be 'neutral'
Forced to use Russian language

The U.S. has begun sanctioning EU officials. At the same time, it has lifted sanctions on firms accused of supplying russia’s military.
At this point, it should be obvious that the current U.S. administration is no longer merely a bystander — it is fully aligned with russia.

There is no basis to withhold these images under the clear terms of the Epstein Files Transparency Act. None.
WOW: The DOJ has DELETED an image from its release of the Epstein files that shows photos of Trump in a drawer.
Yesterday, we noted that this image — file 468 — likely slipped through the cracks while officials were attempting to hide materials pertaining to Trump.
Now, it’s gone.
