Most ordinary Russians would not have chosen war. This is Vladimir Putin's war.

Somewhere in the air are a set of US negotiators. When they set off the talks were on, no vessels had been attacked. How the world will have changed over the course of that one flight.

Because rotation of troops and logistic supply lines are vaguely complex concepts and they don't understand them or don't believe in them. Military madness.

They are. What he means is agreeing to everything Trump has asked for. Completely failing to understand that negotiations don't work like that.

"No more Mr Nice Guy". Sorry, did I miss something back there?

Brilliant!!!

Awful friend(s), and the potential for blackmail or reputational damage, would absolutely damage your security vetting and get you removed from most high profile government or commercial posts.

More spoils to the real victor.

"Last year, Trump halted all refugee admissions, including for applicants from warzones, but allowed Afrikaners, a white minority group he said was persecuted, to seek resettlement. South Africa objected to his characterisation."

Ahhh, white South Africans...

You have to be born in America. So he does support birthright citizenship. Or just when it's convenient for him?
What a rambling incoherent mess.

Less of a government and more of a mafia.

The people of Lebanon are hoping he'll have forgotten about them by Monday. They don't want his "help".

He lies so very fluently. There's no way any job was shared between 10+ people. But I think the fluency comes a complete self delusion. Complete to the point where I think a medical check is not inappropriate suggestion.

Never? Not even the next time America attacks them mid negotiations, or Israel decided to attack all their strategic defence sites?
Never let a child do an adults negotiating work.

It's complete madness. One of the few times I've agreed with a police officer on the street was talking about what they are/aren't allowed to post of social media, even to family and friends.

You can take public money and still be a whole, complete person with ideas and beliefs of your own!

Aiding a genocide is immoral and illegal.

The face of modern terrorism!

I think Israel and Russia have changed the nature of war forever. The Geneva Convention is increasingly for those who get caught rather than for every soldier every day. Scarry stuff!

Normally a career civil servant with multiple clean DV checks would be put forward. The checks would be quicker and easier. The FCDO failed to handle an outsider. They assumed the PM had *told* them to take him. Having the appointment just before inauguration added unwanted time pressure.

Loving the depth of these. Great work!

At least the original Mafia respected the church.

This is a new and innovative use of the word "won". You should try it yourself.
I won lower gas prices!
I won against gravity!
I won time travel!
See, fun isn't it?

Technically illiterate. Back in the 60's you could trust what the OS said because the computer was owned by a large enterprise. Now we all own a few OS's and we can update them to say whatever we want. That's before you even look at virtualisation, etc.

Two wrongs don't make a right. EVERYONE should stop killing.

Send those men and women back home to their families. There is no military solution to this problem.

Hope aweful. Laughing at the suffering of others. Ville.

At no point did Amazon resort to humanity.

Like the times when people with great power lie, steal, covert others oil, wives, money, worship false idols, murder, bare false witness.
Morality covers all of life. ICE kidnapping children is immoral, murdering Iranians is immoral, stealing Venezuelan oil is immoral, etc

I deeply regret that Donald J Trump is not getting the mental health support that many of us believe he needs. I send LOVE TO ALL involved at this difficult time. God bless them all. 🙏

The Vatican should stick to issues of morality. Like ICE detaining children? Or missile strikes on civilians in Iran? Or the feeding of the poor in America?
