Good to see Stephen King back in the public domain He made an unexpected return to X/Twitter on Thursday (20 February), just before the release of The Monkey, a new horror film based on one of his short stories. In his first post, King jokingly wrote: “I’m baaaack! Did you miss me?” The writer then quickly followed this up by adding: “Just wanted to say that Trump is a traitorous, Putin-loving dips***! Goes double for Elon!”

This is your state department talking about Kosovo Serbian military, paramilitary and police forces in Kosovo have committed a wide range of war crimes, crimes against humanity, and other violations of international humanitarian and human rights law: forced expulsion of Kosovars from their homes; burning and looting of homes, schools, religious sites and healthcare facilities; detention, particularly of military-age men; summary execution; rape; violations of medical neutrality; and identity cleansing. — Report released by the U.S. Department of State, Washington, DC, May 1999

NATO bombed Kosovo in 1999 to stop the ethnic cleansing of Kosovar Albanians by Serbian authorities.

Where's the nuclear Armageddon? Three years of Ukrainian resistance and Putin daren't nuke because he knows what he'll get back. Excuses for betraying a sovereign nation Trump is a disgrace.

He wants to give Ukraine to a murderous regime. He's an appeaser to a murderer.

So if Putin is terrified of Trump, why is Trump caving in to him, giving him everything he wants?

There was no advancement east. After the collapse of the Soviet empire, every country in eastern Europe was delighted to gain autonomy and sovereignty. Determine its own future. They all joined the EU and NATO voluntarily. NATO is a defence force. Unlike Russia they have never invaded another country. Putin is a murderous despot, at home and abroad. The world knows this but Trump and his goons ignore it because he likes macho nationalists, empire expanding immoralists such as Putin. 'Yea, we can carve up the world together and split the Russia- Chinese axis, to hell with Europe and its emphasis on self determination and human rights' That's the mentality of the immoral goon in the White House

No, it's your hero, Trump who has bent over to Putin, desperate to share Ukraine's riches with a murderous despot. Starmer will ask for US back-up to support Ukraine, saying it's vital for the free world, but he knows he's just going through the motions. Europe will stand behind Ukraine regardless of the morally bankrupt Maga brigade.

Why does Trump support Russia? Lewis makes four important points. 1. Misinformation, Maga cultists are radicalised by lies from the Kremlin and their Maga supporters. 2. Trump etc have the same ideology as Putin. They like he's an autocrat, a traditionalist, anti liberal. Note Vance's support for the far right AFD. 3. Trump sees financial opportunities if peace is made with Russia. 4. Geopolitics. Trump dislikes China and wants to wean Russia away from China to form an alliance with the USA.

According to The Sun and other sources, Ukraine has taken a leaf out of the Israeli plot maiming Hezbollah pager operatives, by blinding eight Russian drone operators in a sophisticated setup using explosive goggles. Zelensky’s men are thought to have sent these booby-trapped glasses to Russian soldiers through volunteers in a pager-style trap.

After Trump's two lies about Zelensky yesterday: namely only 4% of Ukrainians support Zelensky, plus Zelensky himself started the war, support within the country has soared for its President.

No it won't

Has the war stopped? Really? lol

Please stop being obtuse.

Stop trolling, it doesn't become you

Hello there! His country is under daily attack by a murderous regime. Some of his population is scattered throughout Europe and beyond. Men of military age are spread throughout the front line. Now, if Russia withdrew from all of Ukraine's sovereign territory, paid up for reparations to all the buildings they destroyed, sent their convict soldiers home, repatriated the North Korean soldiers, then just maybe Ukraine would be able to have elections.

No. Russia undermined democracy by invading Ukraine, plunging the country into turmoil with countless civilians displaced and men enlisted in the army. Get out Russia and Ukraine will have elections.

The USA was not under daily bombardment.

The clown is Trump who is stupid enough to believe he can stop Putin by giving him everything he wants Trump is also a quisling, capitulating to a dictator with so much blood on his hands. Hopefully Trump will end his days in a run down dacha on the outskirts of Moscow, preferably with the power cut off.

They didn't have elections. They changed leaders because Chamberlain, like Trump, was an appeaser. Parliament wanted a fighter, Churchill, a man whom Zelensky shares attributes with.

Which country holds election during a war? The UK certainly didn't during WW2.

Zelensky, the democratically elected leader, is Jewish.

USSR joined the Nazis to carve up Poland in WW2. They only joined the war because Hitler was mad enough to attack them, but true, their contribution meant the destruction of Nazi Germany. Unfortunately they decided post war to enslave Eastern Europe.

He's stopped Russia taking over his country for three years, dilapidated the Russian army until it's reduced to using donkeys, prisoners and North Korean troops. And the US hasn't had to lose a single soldier in Ukraine's decimation of Russian forces. The US owes Zelensky big time
