Russia is about to annex large parts of Ukraine, aided by the US. Germany's economy is in ruins, and it's unclear which European states have the will and capacity to answer a Article 5 call from the Baltics, let alone if the US would. And still, prominent European politicians

Letโ€™s be honest. Does anyone think that this president would honour Article Five? Presence of US military & nuclear sharing still has value to Europe, but its deterrent value is significantly reduced & falling. This is reckless, dangerous behaviour by the Trump administration.

mind blowing that a presenter on a uk news channel feels empowered to express these views. And that TT even when rebutting has to wring his hands and talk about how much he โ€˜loves coming on to GB news where you can disagreeโ€™ whilst Turner, aping Diana Mitford breezily keeps lying

This is fucking disgraceful. Lecturing a man who has been leading a country through war - a nation torn apart by a brutal dictator, fighting for its homeland with blood. Iโ€™m not American, but Iโ€™m embarrassed on their behalf.

President Zelenskyy thanked the USA 94 times since Feb 24, 2022. United24 Media tracked only daily addresses, so the real count is much higher.

Ralph Baric and Ian Lipkin in the NYT raising the alarm on a new Cell paper where Wuhan Institute of Virology scientists experiment on ANOTHER coronavirus that can infect humans under grossly inadequate biosafety precautions. โ€œcould have significant risks for people worldwide.โ€

It transpires electrical tape is not a serviceable substitute for sellotape when wrapping presents the evening before your wifeโ€™s birthday when all the shops are shut.

The BMA are embarrassing. Run by naive stuck up kids who donโ€™t see how tone deaf these calls for more strikes are & are allergic to real reform. Whole thing is a racket & dissenters would be mad to pay membership. Makes me sad as a doctor to be associated with these people.

Great example of the naivety of the BMA approach of opposing *fundamental* NHS reform whilst advocating for higher salaries: currently voters, not the market, decide how much doctors should be paid. And they think ยฃ145k is excessive. Donโ€™t like that? Need to change the system. ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿผโ€โ™‚๏ธ
