Indeed it out to be quite shocking how many of the parties that are shaking up politics are isolationists when it comes to china and russia. Have we even really figured out how and why that is the case? I mean beyond innuendo snd small cases. In every country, all contender parties, its mad.

I would be highly critical of funding, support, and involvement of any group who have the russian flag or represent or are related to the state. Lets not normalise mafia russia amid their invasion and attempted annexation of a country.

Is this statistics for 2 year olds? What adult needs you to draw green circles around size 100 font numbers? Also, five seperate polls on the same topic in the same time frame should correlate. Surely the conclusion this tells you is CNN fans dislike trump which also isnt rocket science.

Why does it feel like both sides think the delays are in their favour?

Now had this been an article published by Keir Starmer's new Elite border unit, with an overly dramatic balcony scene, labour might show the one thing they need to actually not let reform in : great messaging on topical results. *Then* come the spreadsheets. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I think this is what bugs me, that there are no leaders, noone who is just out there doing things and showing others how to get things done. If Farage isnt pm and is famous, why arent labour 'contenders'? When new reform voters start saying lines from a labour contender, theyll deserve to take over.

Sadly members of the left, unable to appeal to the hearts and minds of social media scrollers swept up by reforms dog whistles have decided to try eating their own party. How hard is it to disprove reform without decapitating your own party? Reform didnt have to be PM to sway people, neither do you.

As more and more things become smart and connected, amd we are confident a fk up will happen eventually, it feels like building all of our vital infrastructure around a newly built chernobyl because it will make things cheaper and better until it blows. Though Chernobyl was limited by geography.

On point 1/3 - china simply has to be the least damaged country in a war (over capacity can be put on rapid change to adapt) and as we saw with russia tyrant populations put up with a lot more than we predict. This analysis is overly optimistic as it doesnt weigh the countercase.

We need the french system. 1vAll then 1v1. This allows for the merits of both systems to play out. Main parties can be thrashed by new ones, and be thus humbled into change, and centrists always win.

I recall conspiracy theorists who said the US ran everything due to the petrodollar or masons or jews etc. Just remember that the alternative explanation to the world order was the US was not just powerful and rich but also a good ally. This year put paid to myths the west was a blind hegemony.

This cynical leaflet comes from the side that is systematically commiting attrocities from bucha to the drone safari, to bombing civilian infrastucture, to the double tap attacks, and of course kidnapping thousands of children. And of course doesnt go quiet on our special days...

If you think about it, its the fact they deliver facts in the same way as bullshit. It is a fundamental point about AI and should be the main question of AI 101 for kids: Why doesnt AI give you a confidence estimate or a good rating of the sources it used - like any good analyst or student?

On the sad news russia may not have enough military equipment to make the may 9th parades because they are all smashed in Ukraine, its very thoughtful that Ukraine has suggested there may indeed by some military equipment they could donate to help them remember how successful russian military are.

Europeans are more persuasive to americans than donald would like to believe. If we wanted to, we could oust trump with a bit of effort, but deep down, I think we know we need this push to make an independent Europe. Trump maybe a cold shower, but certainly a golden shower.

This is easily the best video I have watched on YouTube so far this year. The photographs from the Artemis II mission are literally out of this world! youtu.be/oaXRREHVkHo

While the bev thing is amusing and certainly true, it does now make you wonder if kennedy knew 600 wasnt 600% of 100.... No... ... No he's just wrong and I have made the word a better place for pointing it out.

This is a seriously good idea. A) anyone signing up to invade a European country is likely not friendly to Europe or is mental. And B) This would be very big news to young russians who are considering signing up that doing so would mean they can never enter Europe. www.euronews.com/my-europe/20...

Even if im being generous on how you use % if it rises from 100 to 200 thats 100% as a 0% rise leaves it at 100. To get from 100 to 600 using this logic its 500%. So doing this in reverse it would be a 400%, even in badmathsland. 1/2

Me dealing with my problems. "I have taken luhansk and am on course to win"

Fair argument

Imagine the moral question: Would you choose a £50 discount on your bill but it killed a family in an apartment? And then some politicians saying 'yes'.

Its interesting that we dont all get the causal connection that you buy cheap russian oil at the price of civillian lives. You can trace a 12 year old casualty back to a bank transfer, and logically to turning on a light or stove.

Parfait.

Its worth asking what the cost is of a failure of defence. If you have investments like infrastructure blowing up, or trade routes blocked, or trade allies turning inwards to their own defence. If we are to do it in the cheap we need overlap and Ukraine www.youtube.com/watch?v=BlpN... This is

When the power goes out in care and residential homes, and the benefits payments system goes down because of mysterious infrastructure attacks, we may look at starmer and healeys refusal to act like defence underpins finances, the same way we see appeasers - betting that china 1/2

Personally, I support the blockade. Its not like we are making up the fact Iran are dangerous and we shouldnt be funding a group that turns its civillians into human shields, allows child soldiers, and wants a nuclear weapon. Its another case of trump doing the ugly thing that should happen

Curious what the confidence is in this. Sort of an ideal thing to have your enemy believe under these conditions of democratic will.

Psst

Rutte has a tough gig. We've seen the potential benefits of playing hardball with Nato or the EU when you are turkey, hungary or slovakia, unanimity can mean we offer benefits to those who choose to leverage this. Has the maga/brexit mechanic wormed into NATO? And do we know why it emerged.

Well, trump would start with irans proposal as then any finished document would look like it was iran who conceded on its points rather than the other way around. I had wondered if this was a way to give Europe etc the space to keep open the strait as we suggested we would. A deterrence force...

I think a key element to the taco is probably the kurds seemingly keeping the weapons meant for iranian freedom fighters. Two weeks probably is a good amount of time for that to be solved. But indeed the joy of higher oil prices for putin were moderated by seeing his war infrastructure going kaboom.

www.hrw.org/news/2026/03... Though I criticise Israel and the US, their claims against Iran werent just propaganda. Having a group of people who put children in military positions able to cut off the strait of hormuz is not wise. It shows israeli's never had good options.

www.nasa.gov Just a reminder we are going to put people the furthest in space we have ever done. 10 days of making the sort of history that everyone will forget but made the memorable bits possible.

David mitchell already figured this out in 'would I lie to you' when dealing with bob mortimer. He found the signal in the chaos.

Nevertheless, other bodies must figure out how to bring prohibitive consequences to grey warfare, and to sub state international actors. It must also operate in a way that we would understand if a different bloc used it, but be clear if the mechanism was being used offensively but in a grey way.

This wouldnt be the end of NATO as its still in the other nations interests to operate as a large defensive group - the mechanisms will remain. Trump asks NATO to do the things that cast doubt on it being a defensive alliance, those things I struggled to defend. *That* pact must remain defensive.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wj_I... Absolutely loving the new AI audio translation used on Zelensky's channel. Imagine frankensteins monster was formed from jeff goldblum, dracula, a regular ukrainian translator, and a bad zelensky impersonator asked to translate mid orgasm.

Looking forward go hearing journalists report this one.

To be honest, the US and middle east need to stick it out in Iran because it is forcing their military to actually confront how ill equipped they are for modern low budget warfare.

I have found media to be as surprisingly biased in favour of Iran being unbeatable as they were with russia. A lot of analysts also seem to be a bit kyiv in 3 days. Not withstanding trump and bibi being self serving arseholes the regime needs to fall. www.youtube.com/watch?v=5KXF...

I only hope the Iranians get free from the mullahs after all this. Cant bring myself to knock the US for the attacks on an awful regime that murders its own people. But it does make you wonder if we really were learning any lessons from Ukraine.

Well that shows how far the US will protect an ally who it has trade deals with. They will make you concede territory if you are invaded. I hope we are shifting away from the US in ways that signal they are becoming just another china.

How fascinating. I've come across AI 'normal folk' channels before but never one made to look like a specific person. I do wonder what age/iq range can spot this stuff. www.youtube.com/watch?v=du4s...

We should let trump know we will sell him things he is looking for for the defence of his ally and strategic interest.

It would simply come down to whether we need trade to flow through there, if we do, and we dont have the resources, we have a fragile overall strategy.

I guess with rising oil prices, gulf states can supercharge Ukrainian drone production as a fair trade.

BBC going with bitter sarcasm for their main headline this morning. "Huge fire engulfs Kuwait City tower as Trump accuses Starmer of seeking to 'join wars after we've already won'"

Think of all the fallout for just knowing and talking to convicted pedo epstein. It seems like you can hunt humans in Ukraine and still be an olympian as long as you are fast or an accurate shot. Bit sick really.

Meanwhile, nine settlements in the Oleksandrivsk direction have already been liberated by Air Assault Forces units. The video has subtitles.
