    I simply don’t know if the assertions here stand up, but, it sounds about right ?

    Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent revealed tonight that his meeting with President Zelensky in Ukraine was also a disaster.

    Bessent went over there to get the mineral rights agreement earlier this year and explained very clearly to Zelenskyy that this was to show Russia that there is no daylight between Ukraine and the US.

    It would also give the US an economic interest in the country. But Zelenskyy refused to sign it, apparently not understanding how this was supposed to make the US and Ukraine partners.

    BBC very unlikely to explore this

    Looks like the end of NATO . TTK hugging the Eastern European guy – and then he’s meeting the UK head of state on Sunday –
    I think President Trump will just think – ‘Europe is more trouble than it’s worth ‘ – leave it to Putin to take the bits he wants unless it defends itself – which it never will ….

    Adios State Visit ..

    BTW these few days feel the most dangerous yet …. Putin must be working really hard on ways to capitalise on it …..

    ‘The BBC is to investigate claims that a Hamas official’s daughter who appeared to celebrate the Oct 7 attacks was paid during the making of its controversial Gaza documentary.

    On the day of the atrocity, Safia al-Yazouri wrote on Facebook: “Amen O Lord,” along with an emoji of hands clasped in thanks and a green heart.

    She is believed to be the daughter of Ayman Al-Yazouri, a deputy agriculture minister in Gaza’s Hamas government, and the sister of Abdullah, pictured above, who narrated Gaza: How To Survive A Warzone.

    The BBC has admitted that Hoyo Films, the independent production company that made the documentary, had paid the boy’s mother “via his sister’s bank account” for his narrating services.’

    DT Editor Newsletter today….

    So that big fact DENIAL of the BBC just gets worse. Lisa Nandy (Culture Minister) must know this is illegal and the fact that the BBC is INVESTIGATING itself (BBC VERIFY) – again- is beyond belief. The BBC Balen report was about the anti Israel bias was endemic throughtout the BBC (BBC investigation) and was so shocking it was never published…

    I wonder how Europe would operate without the US input into NATO ? The withdrawal of all those bases ? Limited sales of military equipment ?

    It’s almost impossible to contemplate . But Europe has been so reliant on the US for defence that it thinks it can disrespect the US in favour of corrupt Ukraine …

    I know im playing ‘armchair politician ‘ but this isn’t an academic discussion because it will be used to tax thevarse off of us – almost immediately – all those promises starmer / Rachel made will be readily disregarded .

    I am deeply pro the US and President Trump . . Ukraine isn’t worth the body of one British soldier …
