Ukraine, Russia etc.

theres a stalemate, true, but the stalemate favours russia on balance, bc of troop numbers and shell supplies. at least, that's my understanding.

Yeah what happens next will be dependent on i) how quickly the shit in the US resolves ii) how quicky European arms get to Ukraine. Denmark said yesterday they're going to transfer *all* of their artillery to Ukraine.

I don't know if the Republicans are ready how it's going to look on them if Russia makes serious gains. Lots and lots of dead Ukrainians on their consciences.
Starmer is going to be doing a Churchill impression at this rate.

Will that bother them? Tucker's interviewing Putin and their supporters don't give a shit about Ukraine.

A few years ago I'd have said there's a split between 'normal' Republicans and Trumpists, but I think the former are basically extinct at this point.

Unsettling shirt for a doctor to wear. Assume it's an awareness campaign about going to the hospital or you will die, but the presentation could be better.

that guardian article claiming russia 'might' have been involved in inciting acts of petty larceny in europe eg starting a fire in a shoe factory in aldershot seemed veeeeery dodgy to me

Musk/Trump's unrefuted accusation of Zelensky that vast sums of money have gone walkabout don't seem to have been processed by the media, who are still pushing the Zelensky = hero angle when, if it's true, not only has it been a vast waste of taxpayers' money but also means that perhaps Ukraine might have been able to repel Russia had it directed the funds correctly.

But seeing as Trump has a history of telling more lies than anyone ever and Musk has spent the past few weeks making random unsubstantiated claims of missing money over the place we're gonna need a bit more than that... maybe some evidence.

I have no problem with the media completely ignoring spurious claims with no evidence from notorious liars.

At this stage their claims do not merit refutation or even acknowledgement.

Seeing as Zelensky would have refuted them were they false but didn't suggests that they're actually correct. I think the media and British public just can't handle the complexity of a corrupt Ukrainian administration nonetheless leading a just campaign against a Russian aggressor.
