Russia’s government paper: “What went against Orbán was his unprecedentedly long time in office...16 years in a row, 20 in total. The fatigue factor, growing tired of the same people is psychologically understandable.” A reminder: it’s writing about Hungary.

In today’s Russian papers: latest data “rules out stabilisation or economic growth [in Russia]…forecasts of a deeper & more protracted recession.” Plus, Russian kindergartens to teach “traditional values” via games. And a Russian joke that’s a real puzzle...

Trump has insulted and tariffed his European allies, persuaded Denmark to prepare for a US invasion and, by pressuring Ukraine and not Russia, encouraged Putin to keep fighting. All of which he has forgotten.

This is despicable. Shame on you Netanyahu. Orban is a Putin puppet & an authoritarian thug. Orban is an enemy of freedom. Like Trump & Orban, you are siding with Putin, a fascist, over the free world. You further isolate Israel, you give Israel a bad name, and you increase hatred of Israel. Resign.

This Trump tweet is a work of art and needs to be kept for posterity. It turns out that the US has destroyed 100% of Iran’s military capability. Yet, to combat a military with no capability he is left pleading with allies he has regularly insulted to save him in the Gulf.

Trump defines anyone who opposes him as enemies. All lawsuits are baseless, proof "they" are out to get him. Will MAGA ever realise that tRump is a deeply corrupt flawed person. Its not a witch hunt but a response to his many transgressions. Doesn't look like it, and the Constitution isn't working.
