Summary

After a tense Oval Office encounter with Donald Trump and JD Vance, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy received a warm UK welcome, including an official audience with King Charles at Sandringham.

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer convened a defence summit with European and NATO allies to reaffirm solidarity with Ukraine, discuss unlocking frozen Russian assets, and counter the rift caused by Trump’s accusations of Zelenskyy’s ingratitude.

European leaders fear the spat endangers Western unity and peace efforts and are vowing no negotiations on Ukraine without Ukrainian involvement.

    All this you feel? It reeks of the stuff leading up to WW1. Just waiting on the Zimmerman telegram now.

    We’re going to backslide to the prewar days where violence was the only way to amass power, before the days of the UN, USAID, NATO, and the rest.

    And that isolationist shit is consistent with America pre WW1 and the interwar period before WW2.

      Preaching to the choir.

      The billionaires in America don’t care though. They don’t care about our Constitution either. They just want to play ball so they’re not monopoly busted by Trump in retaliation and so they get a place at the feeding trough as these assholes dismantle us and our country.
