Nuclear proliferation? What happened to deterrence? Is this a scenario where Russia uses tactical nuclear weapons on Ukraine? If so how would France and UK react?

Surely someone has told someone not to try it or else.

What we need is a full transcript.

Perhaps Piers can provide one, so we can carefully go through the Q & A with a nit-comb.

NSS "is dangerous because no American president, whether good, bad or indifferent, clear back to roughly the days of Andrew Jackson, would have published such blatant racist fiction as an official statement of U.S. foreign policy."

◻️

Even after the diabolical, now infamous WH meeting (that will go down in infamy as well..) VZ was able to repeat and repeat Ukraine needs the US. And of course they do: diplomacy, money, arms, satellites.

VZ has had the balls to keep saying it in the face criticism. Needs the US not 'Leqembi.'

UK unveils new undersea warfare technology to counter threat from Russia

◻️

😼 Suitably sounds like an African dictator.

If only someone would ask 47 what he thinks of Leqembi, with the hope he might on off on one about I like the man. I can do business with him.

◻️

Ah....

"AI-powered acoustic detection technology and integrated into a digital targeting web"

At least 10 years ago the French released an AI submersible. It roamed the Med for a few years then came back all by itself.

The US have massive AI subs.

◻️

Ok.

Not really been occupying my mind with libertarianism at the mo tho, with the dire consequences of electing Donald 'Leqembi' Trump kicking into overdrive. And all that, What if Vance becomes POTUS with a year or so to run?

◻️

AI driven? How would that work we all ask?

If AI relies on massive datacentres, even if there is massive worldwide distribution, they look at first glance to be an ideal thing to hack or bomb the shit out of.

◻️

😼 Straying a bit from the basic principles that.

If you dump the various basic facts on a group of 7-year-olds they'd come up with an explanation anyone could understand. Like: "In order to do what I want, you must do what I say"

Though the Covid masks issue sort of laid the hollowness bare.

◻️

Thing is there's social and there's political libertarianism.

And it's all a very big and interesting subject that has a library full of arguments for and opinions on.

A key point: the ideology is often described as fiscally conservative and socially liberal.

“I will permanently pause migration from all Third World countries to allow the U.S. system to fully recover.” He said, “Only reverse migration can fully cure this situation.” He said he’s going to “denaturalize migrants who undermine domestic tranquillity.”

She knows she can walk out of the White House straight into another job. She was only the messenger.

◻️

The 2025 National Security Strategy is pp. 35 pdf with an intro by President Leqembi himself.

We know, we could bet our last Euro 10 on it, he has *not* read it.

But aside, a Q. would be who wrote it? That is who was involved in its creation:

www.war.gov/News/Release...

◻️

He's read it! It's his country they are trying to make peace over the top of.

The thing is has Trump?

We can be absolutely sure US media will not be asking 'Leqembi' to give us chapter and verse. What does it entail Mr. President? Who is that ? Get her out of here.

Trump says Zelenskyy 'hasn't read' a US-authored proposal to end Russia-Ukraine war President Donald Trump is claiming Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy “ hasn’t read” a U.S-authored peace proposal aimed at ending the Russia-Ukraine war.

“I’m a little bit disappointed that President Zelenskyy hasn’t yet read the proposal, that was as of a few hours ago. His people love it. But he hasn’t — Russia’s fine with it”

TBI has a staff of 120,000 worldwide.

That will have kept him busy and make him feel he's an important mover & shaker.

The Tony Blair Institute for Global Change (TBI) has received substantial funding from Larry Ellison, the founder of Oracle, with his personal foundation pledging or donating at least £257 million since 2021, making it the institute’s largest single funder.

😼 And we managed to pay America back the money and materiel we needed to fight WWII. Which fact buffs will know wasn't finally paid till 2006.

Unfortunately, Times still has a healthy readership, mostly online. But we know in our hearts this tripe is for a small coterie of Tories and Farage.

◻️

#Trump

Trump received 77,302,580 popular votes in the 2024 U.S. presidential election.

That's about 40 million those against universal suffrage warned against. The rest should hang their heads in shame.

◻️

This narrative, Overton Window, or whatever it is called is being perpetuated by MSM.

While VZ has to keep repeating he wants US support, he's perfectly well aware US under Trump wants Ukraine to capitulate (i.e. give up territory it holds) because DT sees some benefit for the US economy.

◻️

#28Plan

Isn't down to about 19 now?

Removing VZ is a Putin aim of course.

No one talks of Putin putting himself before the electorate.

The Ukrainians will not accept the sort of defeat Trump-Putin want. 250,000 have died defending their country.
