US State Dept staff banned from subscribing to independent media

Embarrassing for any self respecting media company not to be on that list.

They really are turning into a tribute act of Putin's Russia.

Not long before they start locking up alleged 'dissidents'

It's like he's read* 1984 and thought it was a How-To guide.


*Yeah. I know.

Just when you think Trump can't sink any lower, he manages to surprise you. The man has the morality of a cesspit.


I wonder if the nutters that voted for this idiot feel proud of themselves when they read this stuff.

Will they be reading this stuff or will they be reading only Trump approved news sources? Distinguishing truth from lies will become ever more difficult for Americans.

Hasn’t Trump got rid of a lot of ATCs? I seem to recall he had a go at the recruitment of disabled ones

We should not be buying weapons from this fascist regime, we need to up our game in weapon technology, the UK and Europe have the expertise, we just need to concentrate and coordinate our efforts. Europe needs to become a military super power, otherwise we'll be living at the mercy of the likes of Trump.

We have to accept that Trump is basically a Russian ‘Asset’, and probably has been in their pocket to some extent since the supposed incident in Moscow in 2013.
His recent statements re Ukraine are mind blowing and European leaders have to come to terms with the USA selling out on Ukraines future security.
NATO also have to have a long hard look at how it is going to operate without the US military as Trump will veto any future involvement in any conflict in Europe that does not directly benefit him.
He has tore up the world order that we have comfortably lived with for decades. It looks like nothing in the US will stop him, the Senate , Congress, Judiciary will all just be ignored in efforts to stop him, they are just all minor speed bumps in the road to him establishing his autocracy.
The situation today, imo, is far more dangerous than it was during the Cuban missile crisis and the many years of the Cold War with the USSR.

I’m actually thinking we may just need to ignore him.

His proclamations are farcical and it’s impossible to know which words we’re meant to pay attention to.

The only words that matter will be the ones that are ongoing, behind closed doors.

I wish we could. I expect the US / Russia peace plan will be unacceptable to Ukraine and the majority of European countries.
He will then throw his teddy out of cot and withdraw all US support to Ukraine. Will Ukraines European allies be able and willing to fill the gaps vacated by what the USA supplied the Ukrainian Armed Forces with what they will need to at least maintain the status quo.
What measures may he dream up to punish European countries that do not toe his line in his efforts for a Nobel Peace Prize.
This situation is a nightmare that has Putin lapping at the cream like a Cheshire Cat.

I would say all support for Ukraine from the US has already been withdrawn? I don’t think anything has been sent since Biden. And there are no further plans.
Europe can make up the difference if it wants to. Especially if they pay the Ukrainians to make their own drones. They are better at it and it’s cheaper.
What is really needed is money to pay troops higher salaries and bonus so they can increase recruitment.

I wouldn’t have thought so. Their hatred of Putin dictates their editorial slant

Europe will need to step up, it's as simple as that.

Russia are running out of kit and churning through soldiers, but as they weaken Ukraine weakens, the advantage Ukraine and us have is the modern kit and drones that are causing chaos. Russias experiment with North Korean soldiers seems to have been pulled.

We need to take all our modern kit and send it to Ukraine ASAP; air defence systems, tanks and vehicles, fighters and bombers, helicopters. All of it.

Put it simply, an investment in Ukraine winning this war is an investment in the security of the EU for 25 years at minimum if Russia maintains the status quo with despot, oligarch type leaders.

America and Trump can no longer be relied on for just about anything. Trump is in the pockets of the Russians and until he's ousted any relationship we have with the US should be put on hiatus.

[Paulie Walnuts]

And that’s Musk now suggesting that Zelinsky is too busy focusing on media stuff whilst kids are dying in trenches.

Rat *******.

Obviously it would be better to have the Americans onside but the Europeans have been planning for these events for a long time. They haven't happened out of the blue.

Trump is savaging his own country. They're the main losers. The soft power they've gained over the last century, the potential contracts for arms for the war to continue, the contracts to rebuild Ukraine - he's dismantling day by day. It doesn't hurt them now but boy will it hurt them in future.

Europe's problem was arms production capacity - now that's no longer an issue. By the end of the year Europe will be out-producing the rest of the world put together.

Trump's in trouble when his own chickens come home to roost.

Europe is a force, and Ukraine themselves are an emerging one. Trump has probably just jolted Europe into some much needed unity that didn't necessarily exist before. We need to keep it that way as there's a multitude of forces who stand to benefit should that not be the case going forward.

Posted by my Canadian bud… also a Hibee and on this site 🇳🇬 CJWard

Dear America,

We need to talk.

I know, I know—whenever someone says that, it’s never good. But I need to be honest with you. I think we need a break.

It’s not me, it’s you. Okay, it’s also me, but mostly you.

We started out with so much in common. We came from the same place, built ourselves from scratch, figured out democracy together, and survived the awkward colonial years. Over time, we grew differently, but never apart. Sure, we had our little sibling rivalries—your bold declarations, my preference for quiet negotiations—but we always had each other’s backs.

Except for that one time when we actually fought. Things got heated, words were exchanged, a few buildings burned down. Honestly, we probably should’ve had some mediation instead of escalating things the way we did. But we moved past it. We found ways to work together. And for a long time, I thought we had something solid.

I used to admire you. I truly believed you were the greatest, the boldest, the one everyone wanted to be. But looking back, I think that was just my own insecurities talking. I thought I needed to be more like you to matter. Now I realize I was fine just being me.

But lately… I don’t even recognize you anymore.

You’re angry all the time. You pick fights with strangers. You start drama on social media. You can’t even agree with yourself about who you are or what you stand for. One minute you’re marching for change, the next you’re rolling back rights. You talk about democracy like it’s sacred, but then you start flirting with authoritarianism like it’s a bad ex you know you shouldn’t text at 2 a.m. but just can’t help yourself.

And look, I get it—self-reflection isn’t really your thing. So let me help you out: If every single one of your friendships is strained, maybe the problem isn’t them.

I’ve tried to be patient. But you keep talking about making yourself “great again” when greatness isn’t screaming at flight attendants and banning books. It’s not rewriting history just because you don’t like how the story went. And it’s definitely not treating basic human decency like it’s up for debate.

Also, I heard you muttering about me moving in with you. Let’s be clear—that’s never happening. I love you, but I also love my space, my free healthcare, and the fact that I don’t have to turn every conversation into a debate. We work better as neighbors. Separate homes, shared holidays, mutual respect. That’s how this has always worked best.

I need space. Maybe I’ll go on a long canoe trip to clear my head, spend more weekends with Europe, or finally give Australia a shot. Sure, they’ve got terrifying spiders, but at least they don’t shut down their entire government every time they have an argument.

And before you ask—no, I won’t be coming to visit anytime soon. Not until you clean up your house. I love a historic landmark as much as the next country, but right now, the place is a mess. Every time I drop by, I leave feeling worse than when I came. And frankly, I don’t want to be caught in the middle of another family fight over dinner.

This isn’t goodbye forever. I still care about you. I still believe in what we could be. But until you figure out who you really are—and, more importantly, who you want to be—I have to step back.

I’ll be here. Keeping your border warm, holding onto your favorite comedians, quietly hoping you get your act together.

And don’t think you can just show up at my door with a six-pack and an apology, either. This time, I need more than empty promises and a cheeseburger. I need change.

Sincerely,
Canada

P.S. If you so much as whisper about invading for our water, I swear to god, we’re done.

The time when the U.K. government will have to choose between the U.S. and Europe is rapidly approaching.
