@judejack Dear Jude.

Unfortunatly due to Russias naked Imperialism and desire to wipe Ukraine off the map do the thousands of young men and women continue to die. I assume that your equation between the Russian and Ukrainian dead is due to a general pity for all the dead. I myself have little sympathy for the Russian volunteers who, out of a desire for money, loot or support of Imperialist #policies join in that genocidal war.

In the dangerous world created by Putin and his sympthazisers it is sensible and neccessary for the imperfect but worthwhile #European countries to shore up their defenses. The #UK effort to make the most of it and also give the poor a shot at a better life is laudable. The notion that Starmer is purposefully impoverishing thousands to serve as cannon-fodder after a generation of defense cuts requires some serious evidence.

Deterence requires the means and the will to defend oneself.

One side – let’s call them the #pragmatists – view #politics purely in terms of #policies enacted and material change on the ground. The other – let’s call them the #idealists – see a role for demonstrating their principles and modelling them in public. It is a debate that has simmered for centuries, and yet seems to catch each new #politicalgeneration unawares."

According to Jeffrey Sonnenfeld, a Yale School of Management professor who runs regular invite-only salons for the country’s top CEOs, business leaders share a “universal revulsion” for Trump’s economic policies. But they’re not quite ready to speak out—yet.

Project 2025 and Trump have dropped a high-profile abortion case in Idaho.

What it means: emergency doctors no longer can carry out an emergency abortion to save the woman's life.

All you beautiful and innocent people out there, keep safe. ❤️

The #US is a #directthreat to Western nations in its determination to #dictate other countries’ #domestic #policies & #undermine their #security by sacrificing their interests to thugs like #Putin. The world has changed, radically and in ways unknown since the 1940s. But #Albanese & #Dutton aren’t reacting. They’re like deer in the headlights of history.
