What does the Iran war have to do with sustaining the Russian economy? Lifting sanctions for Russians does nothing for Americans. It just makes it easier for Russia to continue its war in Ukraine. I spoke with @phillipspobrien.bsky.social about Iran and Russia.

Oh so happy. 😅 Love this Pope too 🥰❤️
So good!!
Last night the US quietly lifted sanctions on Russian oil for another month - two days after Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said it wouldn’t happen.

In Budapest, locals tore down Orban’s anti-Ukrainian posters and celebrated Magyar’s election victory in various ways. A Hungarian soldier shouted to the crowd from the stage that the government's attitude toward Ukraine had been absurd and had only weakened Hungary's position.

Frankly this policy alone is enough to fight Reform over tooth and nail. The Surrey Hills has been targeted for fracking. All our drinking water comes from ground water. These morons would poison our drinking water to make a few bob for billionaires. Over my dead body.
Reform wants to power a UK version of ICE with a panopticon-like surveillance tool pumped up with vast quantities of government held personal data - Labour has essentially legalised it.
There's still time to stop it.

We are seven months away from the most consequential midterm election in US history. Meanwhile, we are fighting a war. These are the structural conditions for a coup attempt in which a president tries to nullify elections and take permanent power as a dictator.
