Truly sickening. Why isn't this front page news? Why aren't other countries sending their militaries to help? Russia must be stopped as soon as possible.

Russia has zero ability to target or shoot down planes in the sky in the west of Ukraine. The only planes they have shot down are close to the frontline.

No, that is not what capitalism is. I agree with what the FM wrote.

That’s exactly what I think too. This better be the case!

Yermak and Umerov are Ukrainian.
But I think the issue is that this is a pointless exercise, unless Russia is forced to stop. All these discussions will lead to nothing, unless the point is to keep prodding Trump along so that he doesn't cut support completely.

How can Ukraine be expected to make peace with such animals? The Russians must be totally defeated.

What a huge embarrassment this press gaggle is. How can they let a moron like Glenn ask so many stupid questions? I thought they were meant to be meeting to discuss ending the war, not giving a forum for Trump to spread his ridiculous lies?

Let’s hope he changes his mind again tomorrow - the number of European leaders traveling there will put him under significant pressure.

It is great that the European leaders are standing up for Ukraine on this way. There is definite strength in numbers.

Putin must feel cornered to agree to this (or propose it). But, of course, who can trust Trump to be a fair arbiter?

I agree that the 'entertainment' was pretty bad.

It's not a shame at all! :)

It's the first time I've read that someone planned to do it - previously, it was just stated that they 'could' do it. We'll likely find out soon enough.

I read today that the new EU presidency (led by Denmark) wants to strip Hungary of its voting rights (ie. Article 7).

My thought exactly - that will get his attention.

You’re not wrong - indeed, this should have been done a long time ago. But unfortunately it can’t be done in a timeframe to benefit Ukraine.

The funny thing is that I’m probably far more tolerant of different religions and points of view than you are. Operating from the fringes isn’t a great way to gain insight.
FYI, it’s a bit rich for an anti-Semite to call anyone a Nazi, but oh well.

I agree. Unfortunately, the far right is in control right now, so progress is unlikely for some time.

I didn’t say Iran is worse than Israel because it’s a Muslim country, so why make that up? Iran is worse because it is controlled by fanatical fundamentalists. Israel has their own problems with fundamentalists of course, which I hope they address.
FYI, I actually know some Iranians.

Nonsense. Israel has many faults, but this colonial narrative is ridiculous.

Israel should be held to account for what is happening in Gaza, but let’s not forget who/what triggered that.
As for Iran, you need to improve your knowledge of the country. They do NOT have open elections. It is far from a democracy.

Israel is far from perfect, but there is no comparison to the Iranian regime. Let’s be real.

Netanyahu was democratically elected. He also hasn’t been PM for 17 straight years - it is over 3 stretches. Personally, I don’t like or trust him, but he was voted in.

Iran has openly called for the destruction of Israel and the US. It is an autocracy. For all it’s faults, Israel is still a democracy.

Let me guess, you’re a member of the MAGA cult who doesn’t realise that following a moron doesn’t make you an alpha, but a beta lapdog.

Murderous fucks. What will it take for Trump to do something?

I suggest you do some reading (that isn't some crazy 'anti-colonist' tract).

Don't be stupid - this isn't in Gaza or the West Bank.

ABC News, I believe. Interview came out this week.

It’s way too early to draw such judgements - he’s only been in power for 3 weeks. I’d rather he keeps Russia guessing. He’s done nothing that indicates he won’t keep his word.
