Choosing Hungary as the place to meet Putin is one of the most outrageous and illiberal acts of this new Trump era. Itโ€™s another extraordinarily gift to Putin, an insult to our allies and Zelenskyy, and should be forcefully denounced by leaders in both parties here in America.

Trump Is Tormenting Ukraine The least the media can do is not help him

Just sent out this free post. Trump is tormenting the Ukrainians, by giving them hope of helping them in ways that he never will (Tomahawks). I talk about why, and why the media needs to stop helping him do so much damage. open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

'Putin got scared' โ€” Trump needs to be wary of Russia's delaying tactic, Ukraine lawmaker, experts warn The Kremlin appears to be deploying a trick already used several times this year.

Russian President Vladimir Putin's renewed overtures to U.S. President Donald Trump have raised concerns that once again, the Kremlin is attempting to derail Western support for Ukraine.

Heseltine sounds the alarm on fascist Reform UK - weโ€™d do well to listen The 92-year-old Tory grandeeโ€™s comparison of Reform UK to 1930s fascists isnโ€™t hyperbole - itโ€™s a warning from someone who knows what happens when democracies ignore the danger until itโ€™s too late.

The government needs to release an unredacted version of the Russian Report - itโ€™s becoming glaringly obvious, by not releasing it in its unredacted form, that too many people in power are complicit in shady deals. Itโ€™s a can of worms and the public arenโ€™t stupid.

YouTube video by Silicon Wafers Populist Alignment or Agents of Foreign Influence - How Great is the Threat?

Right-wing authoritarian populism is gaining sway around the world, across Europe and in the UK, such as Farageโ€™s latest pop-up populist party Reform. The Kremlin seeks to leverage populism and finances extremist movements, politicians and contrarians. youtu.be/d9GrMaZ6eR0
