The combination of ignorance and arrogance is really something

He never really spells out his rules but always seems to have to prepare sone food and have a beer.

"Drone attack that Ukraine blames on Russia" is a very weasely way of presenting this information. It was damaged by a Russian attack.

Vladimir Solovyev is a proper bellend and the world would be a better place with him in prison

What a twat. I hope his time in a Ukrainian prison is deeply unpleasant for him.

Humm.. It's not really ended until the aggressor gives up its imperial ambitions. Unfortunately, merely freezing the conflict won't do that. It won't end until the Russian government, and its people, stop with their delusions.

I already have a counterproposal:

Russia pulls forces/proxies out of Ukraineβ€”all of itβ€”and removes offensive weapons from regions bordering Ukraine.

Pays for all war damageβ€”and reconstruction.

All Russians engaged in war crimes stand trial.

And Ukraine can join any alliance it damn well pleases.

It's an evil and stupid plan for Ukraine's surrender.

I can't tell if Witkoff is evil or stupid. Probably both.

I watched the clip a few times in amazement. It's vile just how unmasked he is at that moment. Everyone should watch it and understand what a true monster that man is.

I dunno man. I stopped at 20 minutes when he was still saying they're not going to do it because it would be militarily a Very Bad Idea. We all heard that same argument in 2022. The problem is that dictatorships in the grip of nationalism don't behave rationally.

I wonder how much this is a US phenomenon. This really is not something I'm aware of happening in the UK, and I have a considerable amount of experience in critical care here. I do get the impression that US healthcare can be a bit more pro-life than elsewhere and maybe DNACPR orders are less common

Oh god, so for the next few weeks we'll have to endure Trump making noises that weaken the recently announced sanctions.

Why does everyone keep calling it β€œThe Epstein Ballroom?” Please stop repeating β€œThe Epstein Ballroom” because it is not called β€œThe Epstein Ballroom!” Don’t tell the news that it’s called β€œThe Epstein Ballroom” and please don’t repost this!!!!!

If you're still peeing by winter I reckon a video of you writing your name in the snow would give you a very happy memory.

That man basically just says whatever suits him at the time. His words are empty.

Trump has a strange man-crush on Putin. He's pretending he's replaced it with the Argentinan weirdo with the funny hair but he's only fooling himself.

The fuckers will no doubt have to endure hunlmiliating rounds of interviews where they say how great Russia is and then do a god-awful collab with whatever Z propaganist musicians come out of the woodwork. They are selling their souls for a pile of turd.

Suspension of elections during a war is required by the constitution of Ukraine. I suspect you already know this and are being disingenuous.

But when you feel confident enough to try one at the traffic lights you'll find it fails about 0.5 seconds before the lights change, you do a little wobble and realise that it would have been quicker if you hadn't tried to do one.

Saw DakhaBrakha last night. Wonderful band and I think we gave them a good reception. Go see them if you get the chance.
