Change the man in the picture to Epstein call it - The Saint Patron of Pedophiles.

Is that Epstein in this picture who Trump is trying to resurrect?

I would like to see him speaking if the only thing prohibiting was someone firing at the tribune.

So they started the war with Iran having no cards?

Which is obviously Biden's fault.

Could they put some concertic circles on them as well?

U.S. Rep. Don Bacon criticized President Trump over his reaction to Russia’s claim of a Ukrainian drone attack on Putin’s residence. “Trump and his team should establish the facts first before jumping in. Putin is a known, shameless liar,” Bacon said.

"The post-truth US is not a reliable partner. US security guarantees are not worth much."

The cynical market people can be even more cynical than usual.

Even if those are fully aware that peace negotiations are a circus, they take into account that the majority of western population will fail for it and therefore that will be less money spend on arms

After a peace agreement with "ironclad" security guarantees: Russia storms Ukrainian positions in Donbas, Zelenskyy calls Trump and ask for military support. Trump responds that he spoke with Putin who says that nothing happened, and Putin never lies.

Thank you for being so clear sighted from the very beginning.

Peace through strength, but pressure is applied to the victim.

That must be what Trump had in mind.

I expect to be reposting this every three months or so until the end of the Trump administration.

Looks like it was speeding down. Which will make it a last minute save.

Extremely cool and scary.

Zelensky says Putin is welcome to visit Pokrovsk, but “everyone knows how that would end.” He confirmed no Ukrainian encirclement there, though the battle is fierce. Russia aims to capture the city. He also said Ukraine has already destroyed one “Oreshnik” missile system inside Russia.

❌💩 It is impossible to postpone something about which there were no agreements. We did not even have an approximate understanding of the timing and place of contact between Putin and Trump, — Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov

I expect to be reposting this at least once more before Christmas.

Quick guide to Tomahawk cruise missile variants

TLAM - land attack

TSAM - anti-ship

GLCM - ground launched

I can only hope that if/when Orban stop being prime minister there will be an arest order for him.

ICC should show some teeth

Thanks!

Did not Hungary recently leave it ICC?

Losing all the money collected for church repairs. I seem to remember such reports.

It was mostly Biden's fault. Maybe Sullivan was the Bad Cop in the Biden's Team.

Hardly more. Not that I respect him in any way.

And I've seen no proof that those are drug boats.

Will it have a questionnaire about inserting an onion in anus?

Dude must have been pretty surprised.

Partly yes. But it also looks like blaming the currency fuck-up on Milei playing God with the exchange rate.

Why is Milei begging for a bailout? - Marginal REVOLUTION There are two primary reasons. First, he pegged Argentina’s real exchange rate too high, hoping this would appease voters by getting inflation down more quickly.  That was a miscalculation.  It also w...
