First thoughts: Trump, Russia, Ukraine
Trump seems to have finally gone off his head. I always favoured his election (on both occasions), and for one reason only— to avoid a Russia-USA or Russia-NATO conflict which would probably degenerate into a nuclear exchange, devastating Europe as well as Russia and North America.
I was never under any illusion about Trump, and, during his first term, called him “a squawking parrot in a gilded cage, guarded by a phalanx of Jews“. That has not changed.
Now Trump has (apparently) totally changed his stance on the conflict between Russia and the Kiev regime in Ukraine. He is sanguine about Russian planes being shot down if they overfly even the borders of Polish airspace, and has made the extraordinary statement that “Ukraine” (the Zelensky regime in Kiev) can “win” (defined as seizing back all territory occupied by Russian since 2014: Crimea, Donetsk, Lugansk etc).
The fact is that, even if supplied with new weapons (and Trump has not offered any directly), the Kiev regime would not be able to re-occupy those regions, because, first of all, the Kiev-regime armies are crumbling away. They lose 1,000-2,000 men per day, and try to plug the gaps by abducting men aged 25-65 from the streets of Ukrainian cities, pressing them into service by brutal compulsion.
Then there is the fact that most of the populations of Crimea, Donetsk and Lugansk are actually Russian and/or Russian-language speakers. They do not want to be part of the Jew Zelensky’s shambolic, corrupt, and brutal fake state.
If Trump orders huge new weapons transfers to Kiev, or that is done via NATO, and if it looks as if Russian advances are being pushed back, it may trigger a reaction in Moscow that few if any want— the use against the Kiev regime armed forces, or against Kiev itself, of tactical or even strategic nuclear weapons by the Russian side.
Trump says one thing one day, another thing another day. His brain, in strictly medical terms, may not be working normally now. That should worry even those of us who were (relatively) in favour of him in the past (though, personally, I myself never favoured most of his policies anyway, only some and somewhat).
Russia cannot lose this war and will not lose it.

If that is right, then all well and good (though if the analysis is correct, Trump should lay out his strategy more honestly or at least more clearly).
Put them up against a wall.
Incidentally, those deportation flights to Romania carry almost (?) entirely not real Romanians but Roma gypsies (with Romanian passports), a fact ITV News glosses over. Don’t insult real Romanians by conflating them with the Roma predators and scavengers.
Is this true? Can people be that stupid (even bearing in mind the disappointingly poor quality of Reform’s policies and people)?
If accurate, that would result in a Commons with Reform having about 287 MPs, Lab 192, LibDems 63, Cons 56, SNP 22 (etc). A minority Reform government, or one requiring Con MPs’ votes to keep it afloat.
Well, for once I agree with radio loudmouth James O’Brien, as well as Dan Hodges.
Farage should have added the unsaid, i.e. that those taxi drivers were (obviously) Muslims. Not that that necessarily makes their words an accurate prophecy, but it would have given needed context to what Farage was saying there.
[“This decision sends a green light to any Muslim who wants to enforce an Islamic blasphemy by taking the law into their own hands. The court is effectively saying that if you attack a blasphemer with a knife, he will be convicted of causing you harassment, alarm or distress and you won’t have to spend a day behind bars. Moussa Kadri has been let off with a suspended sentence after repeatedly slashing Hamit Coskun with a knife while shouting that he was going to kill him. Kadri had been enraged that Coskun was protesting against Islam. Hamit is still living in hiding having been convicted of a “hate crime” for burning his own copy of the Quran.”]
A completely wrong decision.
As the famous Dickensian character said, “the law is a ass, a idiot“…
Hard to believe that a violent foreign crazie like that has been effectively let off, even in today’s Britain.
Mass deportations now!
The Czechs…always a subject people…
God. Just look at them. “The simulacrum of the human”, as someone once called “them”.
A long tweet-thread, but enlightening.
Every. Single Time.
If not “them” directly, their agents or, to put it more plainly, slaves.

About the same number every day now. 1,000-2,000. It means that, over the course of a year, the Kiev regime is losing about half a million, or more, men.

A sinister clown, who is far less educated and intelligent than many, including he himself, believe.
…and about 1,000 arriving illegally —and 5,000 “legally”— on the same day…
Monkeyworld.
Presumably, the “security guard” has been told not to try to detain the thieves. They obviously know it, and are not at all deterred by his pointless presence.
Enoch Powell was not only right, as far as he went, but also wrong inasmuch as he did not go far enough, and never could have foreseen (even in his later years) the jungle that Britain’s urban concentrations have now become.
Get rid of them all.
As for the BBC, it puts the old Soviet propaganda to shame, so blatant is its lying, tendentious, and unwatchable garbage.
As previously noted on the blog, neither side should be directly targeting civilians.
[“The Spanish Prime Minister announced that he will send a warship to accompany the Sumud global fleet in Gaza to “ensure respect for international law”. Turkish MP Ozgur Ozel appealed to Erdogan to send Turkish ships to protect activists traveling by boats to Gaza: ‘We appeal to those who govern the country: the Sumud fleet is the conscience of humanity! Support this fleet. Whatever happens, protect this fleet!‘
Italian Minister of Defense: An Italian Navy ship has been dispatched to the “Steadfast Fleet” to provide assistance after it was attacked.“]
It would be a great thing if the Spanish, Italian, or Turkish naval ships in question ended up sinking the Israeli ones. It might lead who knows where…
Let us hope that that report is accurate.
Semitic.
Is that true? If so, why are they talking about it? Seems doubtful.
