Side-note: any pundit or politician who, over the last decade, has indulged this “the people versus the establishment“ BS, no matter what their political persuasion, shares some of the responsibility for this nonsense today. The list is long.

The 50% figure is certainly eye-catching but 50% of Russia’s federal budget (around 400bn €) is still less than 7% of just the biggest 4 non-US NATO members’ budgets (DE, FR, UK, IT), let alone NATO as a whole.

Belgium 'saves' the World Cup youtu.be/XxZkP4acbj8?...

The US hasn’t been humiliated like this since last month’s treaty of Versailles

China built a 40-story tower that banks wind power by hoisting giant concrete blocks, then dropping them when the grid needs juice. A skyscraper-sized battery with no lithium in it.

THREE extremely unethical situations at the World Cup require more football stakeholders to challenge wrongs. 1. Banishment of the Somali referee 2. Balogun red card political interference 3. Treatment of Iran team Players/managers/officials/administrators. Pressure on FIFA should be unrelenting.

Appeal granted! The member of the FIFA Appeals Committee who will decide has been selected, but not named. www.france24.com/en/sport/202...

If the England FA were cunning they would write to FIFA today asking whether Quansah can play in the next game or does the exception only apply to American players. And publish the letter.

VEEERRRRY punchy statement by UEFA on the reversal of the American red-card suspension. And quite right, too. "We express our disbelief at such an unprecedented, incomprehensible and unjustifiable decision." www.uefa.com/news-media/n...

This spite, & sexism must be appreciated in the context of how dangerous speech has grown by leaps, and bounds since 2021 - as my research can quite unequivocally attest to. From Sri Lanka to New Zealand: Mapping dangerous speech, and its evolution sanjanah.wordpress.com/2026/06/29/f... #nzpol

This might be the most blatant example in existence of "rich guy who created a problem attempting to place the blame for that problem on immigrants"

This an official Vatican photograph of Leo at Lampedusa, Italy - one of the world’s heaviest migrant sites - where he went this morning to pray for migrants who died at sea. This is after turning down the offer to come to the United States.
