The aftermath of the Russian attack on Odesa last night.

A post office, private homes, civilian, energy and port objects were damaged.

This is Russia's "readiness for peace."

Trudeau: I want to speak first directly to the American people… your government has chosen to do this to you. Your government has chosen to put American jobs at risk. They have chosen to raise costs for American consumers on everyday essential items…

Europe can defend Ukraine without the US - and it must Only Europe can defend itself against Russian imperialism. We have the capacity. We simply need the will.

This British commentator thinks the money is manageable, the strategic resources (intelligence, Starlink, armoured vehicles) are tougher.

Dusting off my old Oxford English Dictionary and consulting carefully, I could not find "attack friends and submit to enemies" as a definition of the word "strength."

GLENN: Why don't you wear a suit? You're at the highest level in this country's office & you refuse to wear a suit. A lot of Americans have problems with you not respecting the office.

ZELENSKYY: I will wear a costume after this war will finish. Maybe something like yours. Maybe something better.

I'm concerned with low numbers of likes/reposts of posts in the BSky "Ukraine Feed" . It's exponentially lower than X - even though X/Muskva is completely repressing Ukrainian commentary. Average on posts is <10?!
Though I must say, my overall engagement is way higher/more productive.

Gisele Pelicot is an incredible woman and a hero for her nerve in bringing all those rapists to justice and for knowing the shame does not lie worth her β€” bravely declining anonymity was incredible.
