A MAN WITHOUT FEELINGS, CONSCIENCE, OR MORALS
Someone once asked: “Why do some British people dislike Donald Trump?”
Nate White, an eloquent and witty English writer, gave a brilliant answer (excerpts attributed to The Times of London):
“Trump lacks certain qualities that the British have traditionally valued. He has no class, no charm, no composure, no authority, no compassion, no wit, no warmth, no wisdom, no subtlety, no sensitivity, no self-awareness, no modesty, no honor, and no dignity.
Although Trump may look ridiculous, he has never said anything ironic, funny, or even remotely witty. Not once. And I mean that literally. To the British, a complete absence of humor is almost a form of inhumanity. But in Trump's case, it is a fact. He doesn't even understand what a joke is. To him, a joke is a crude attack, an illiterate insult, or an act of casual cruelty. Just look at his endless obsession with someone's backside.
Trump resembles a troll. He never laughs sincerely; he merely squeals with delight or mockery. And what is even more frightening is that he doesn't just deliver crude and stupid insults — he actually believes this is perfectly normal. His mind is a primitive algorithm of petty prejudices and instinctive malice. There is no irony, complexity, nuance, or depth in him. Everything is superficial. We can see that he has no inner world, no soul. He is soulless.
In Britain, we have traditionally sided with David rather than Goliath. Our heroes have always been courageous underdogs: Robin Hood, Dick Whittington, Oliver Twist. Trump is neither courageous nor an underdog. He is the exact opposite. He isn't even merely a spoiled rich boy or a greedy fat cat. He is more like a giant white slug, a privileged Jabba the Hutt.
And worse still, he is a bully. Yet when surrounded by other bullies, he instantly transforms into a groveling servant. He always punches down — something a gentleman would never do. And he takes particular pleasure in attacking those who are most vulnerable, defenseless, and already lying on the ground.
That is why the fact that a substantial minority of Americans — perhaps a third — look at him, listen to him, and think, ‘Yes, he's my kind of guy!’ is a source of enormous astonishment and alarm to the British. Because it is impossible to read even one of his tweets or listen to more than a few sentences without feeling the ground open beneath your feet.
He has turned mediocrity into an art form. He is the Picasso of pettiness, the Shakespeare of shit. His flaws are fractal: even his flaws have flaws, and so on to infinity. There have always been plenty of stupid people in the world, and no shortage of wicked ones. But for stupidity to be so wicked, and wickedness so stupid — that is something truly rare.
Compared with him, Nixon looks trustworthy, and George W. Bush looks intelligent. If Frankenstein decided to create a monster made entirely of human flaws, he would create Trump. And then the horrified Dr. Frankenstein would scream in despair: ‘My God, what have I done?!’
And if idiocy were a television series, Trump would be its entire set.”
Stephen King is an American writer who works across many genres, including horror, thrillers, science fiction, fantasy, supernatural fiction, drama, and detective fiction. He has earned the nickname “King of Horror.” King is a literary giant whose words carry authority around the world.
Here is a statement attributed to him about Trump:
“We can joke about Trump, but this is no joke. He and his accomplices, with the support of the Supreme Court, are turning America into a fascist, authoritarian state. Republicans must stop putting party interests above the interests of their country and recognize the danger.”

To speak honestly is one of our weapons, to be open, and to be clear. Not to play games with our partners. This is my rule of thumb. There is a lot of pressure on Ukraine at the moment, and of course I have to be louder. And I will be, because it's part of our defense strategy. We are not trying to be somebody else. If I feel that dangerous things are looming over Ukraine, I have to defend my country. And I do what I can, like our soldiers on the battlefield and people who work for Ukraine. And I, the President, have to use every format of diplomacy.

In short: Russians don’t want peace, they want victory. They’d rather continue and intensify their war on Ukraine than make concessions in exchange for peace.
Отличный и очень убедительный анализ отношения россиян к войне в докладе @ECFR @j_kobzova и @KadriLiik на основе фокус-групп и опросов общественного мнения. Без иллюзий:
«Примечательной особенностью всех групп является отсутствие сочувствия к другим людям, будь то украинцы или соотечественники, отправленные воевать.».
«Пожалуй, самый интересный и трогательный момент фокус-групп наступает ближе к концу, когда участники начинают размышлять о только что состоявшемся разговоре с исследователем „Левада-Центра“ и группой незнакомых людей. Большинство с некоторым удивлением признают, что подобные вопросы редко приходят им в голову. „Когда упомянули специальную военную операцию, я сначала подумала: ‘Что?!’ Но потом поняла, что её как будто не существует. Она настолько глубоко зарыта, что ты просто не позволяешь себе об этом думать“,-- говорит одна из участниц. Остальные с ней соглашаются.
Люди на самом деле обеспокоены собственным будущим, будущим страны, тем, как будет развиваться война. Но лишь когда им задают соответствующие вопросы, они осознают, насколько им страшно.
Объяснить это исключительно страхом перед репрессиями нельзя. Скорее, изменился сам характер социальных взаимодействий: о чём люди говорят, каких тем избегают, где и как общаются. Люди ощущают собственное бессилие, неспособность что-либо изменить. Поэтому, даже если они неравнодушны к происходящему, обсуждение подобных тем начинает казаться бессмысленным.
Вместо этого они уходят в повседневную жизнь, сосредоточившись на выживании семьи. Люди погружаются, зачастую добровольно, в состояние, которое можно назвать „заколдованным сном“, стремясь отгородиться от бушующих за стенами дома бурь, включая политические решения, на которые трудно повлиять, хотя они затрагивают каждого.
Такой „сон“ был характерен для российского общества на протяжении всей эпохи Путина. Это проявляется, в частности, в удивительной устойчивости общественного мнения: рейтинг одобрения Путина никогда не опускался ниже 59%. Возможно, война подвергает эту устойчивость испытанию, однако пока никакого масштабного пробуждения не произошло».
«Как фокус-группы, так и опросы показывают, что, хотя большинство россиян (61%) считают, что пришло время мирных переговоров, они готовы мириться с продолжением войны. Они могут быть недовольны „специальной военной операцией“, но не считают себя способными повлиять на её ход. При этом большинство (59%) полагает, что, если добиться мира пока не удаётся, следует усилить удары, а не идти на дополнительные уступки Украине. Судя по всему, большинство сходится во мнении, что мир должен быть заключён на российских условиях.
Более того, предлагаемые режимом обоснования войны, похоже, были в значительной степени приняты обществом. По словам одного российского исследователя, дело не в том, что Кремль способен просто навязать обществу свои нарративы, а в том, что они формулируются таким образом, чтобы находить отклик в уже существующих общественных представлениях и убеждениях».

You can easily tell the US admin gives 0 fucks about a “just and lasting peace” and there’s almost none of this supposed “Christian morality” as almost every talk comes down to the admin in circle making $ with those who are within Putins circle that started not only the 2022 invasion of Ukraine, but the occupation of Crimea, Occupation of Georgian territory as well as sabotage operations within the EU (and probably against US stuff globally as well.)

Selling out a democratic ally for money. No greater or more tragic corruption scandal in American history. Look at how Hegseth is blocking interceptors and the slate of other things over the last few weeks that have caused civilian deaths. Lowest moment since slavery in the U.S.

"The Epstein Storm is Coming
We put this story in the clips yesterday because we didn’t see it until we were almost done writing, but it’s a HOLY SHIT story that includes a new allegation of rape against Trump.
While the big newspapers are pretending this is no big deal, House Democrats released a 50-page report yesterday that details Trump and his cronies’ efforts to hide the full Epstein files.
There is so much new info here, and it’s all very disturbing. Todd Blanche literally cut off Ghislaine Maxwell when she was going to talk about Jane Doe and told her not to talk about “indivduals.”
But the most upsetting is that Beatrice Keul, a former Miss Switzerland, told the committee that Trump violently raped her, leaving her bruised and bleeding.
Rep. Jamie Raskin is calling on DOJ to appoint a special counsel to investigate Trump and Epstein. When that doesn’t happen, we’re gonna need our people to have gavels and subpoena power to go after this fucker.
... Police and the El Paso, Texas, branch of the NAACP are condemning a group of people, possibly including youths, who were shown wearing Ku Klux Klan-style white robes and hoods in viral social media videos.

Why does Musk care so much about kneecapping a nation fighting for their freedom against a war criminal invader?
The elaborate lies, the deception, the gaslighting.
Why? Why is Russia succeeding in the genocide of Ukrainians so important to Musk?

Trump was never sending Kushner and Witkoff to broker peace. He was having those two crooks sell our Alaskan public land and our Alaskan natural resources to the fucking Russians as if it were his.

This number right here is a treasonous fuck. The hacked information from his cellphone not only show money laundering of hundreds of millions, but also shows he is in the pocket of Israel, Saudis and Russian. He should be arrested for treason and dealt with accordingly.

Elon Musk's statement about needing to have pity for Russian conscripts is the ultimate act of cynicism and hypocrisy.
If Elon wants the war to stop and Russian conscripts not to die, the thing to do is help Ukraine win as quickly as possible, rather than forcing Ukraine to sacrifice itself.
A Ukrainian victory is the only way to save the lives of the Russians Musk sympathizes with so deeply.

Zelenskyy: I offered the US three options if they want us to stop hitting Russian refineries:
1. Russia stops attacking our energy.
2. Open Starlink over Russian ballistic missile launch sites.
3. Give us Patriot missiles.
We got none. Instead, Starlink was restricted.

The recent Starlink / Starshield incident in Ukraine has created a dangerous precedence for the US export industry, many haven't yet grasped. The sudden deactivation respectively curtailing of those systems without warning not only cost precious lives, but also equipment worth millions.
Though the blame game between the White House (Trump) and SpaceX (Musk) is going on, ultimately it doesn't matter. It showed the world that the USA are not a reliable partner any more. Pointing at some obscure "violation of terms of services" without providing the exact passage are just increasing that notion that this was a political move.
The explanation that Starlink must not be used for "offensive" means is nonsense, too. Starlink has never been turned on over Russia, and using it in Ukraine is by definition defensive in nature. You can even argue that hitting Russian targets in Russia is defensive, since you don't have to wait for an attack to be conducted. Even the intention is enough to warrant action and to eliminate the threat at the source. But this is a different topic.
Furthermore, SpaceX has been fully aware that its Starlink terminals are being used by Ukrainian forces. Especially when considering that Ukraine only recently had to white-list their Starlink terminals for the Ukrainian military so that Russian forces, who have been abundantly using Starlink as well, were locked out. It has always been clear that those Starlink terminals are used for and by the Ukrainian military, and Ukraine has always been thankful for that.
Coming up with this bogus story, now, three weeks before midterms is therefore as transparent as it is shameless. It is obvious for everyone that this was just figleaf statement so that a political agenda can be pushed, an agenda which runs counter to the strategic nationalist interests of the USA, both political and economic.
And this is the real scandal. It is not new that the US had to lock out its technology or supplies to nations with which it had previously good and even cordial relation. Iran under the Shah, South-Vietnam and Cuba before Castro are just three to name it. But as you can see from them, it made perfectly sense back then. Those nations switched sides or disappeared altogether.
Ukraine on the other hand didn't switch sides and even helped the US in the most recent and botched Iran war, despite being short on ammunition itself. The Ukrainian government accepted every possible compromise and offered an unconditional ceasefire from the start. Russia on the hand refused all of it and is demanding surrender. Yet, it gets this treatment? Unbelievable.
This will be noted by all clients around the globe who purchase US weapons and technology. If agreements are not honored and can unilaterally and even clandestinely be altered based on the whims of a few, who only follow their own motives or election lies, then the all concept reliability falls apart.
Whether it is Starlink, the F-35, Tomahawk missiles or HIMARS. All those systems run on software and in many cases can only properly operate with recent updates. You don't even need have a kill switch. You can only refuse to update and many of those systems lose more than 90% of their effectiveness within a short period, making worthless.
This is why we see the blame game between Musk and Trump. I'm sure that people around those guys told them how absolutely shortsighted and stupid this step was. It will fall back on the entire US industry. Not even those two guys are worth that losses and backlash. A functional US Congress would immediately start subpoenas and hearings, asking questions in order to mitigate the damage, but here we are.
Trump and Musk have given the best reason why not to buy American. Customers - governmental and private alike - around the globe will take note of this and act accordingly, and I wouldn't be surprised if this won't be limited to US military products only. An absolutely senseless and avoidable own goal.

“On Feb. 5, 2025, her first day in office, Attorney General Pam Bondi disbanded the FBI’s Foreign Influence Task Force, dismantled the department’s unit pursuing Russian oligarchs’ assets, and narrowed enforcement of the Foreign Agents Registration Act. CISA paused its election security work, abandoned the information sharing center that connected it to state and local election officials, and by mid-2025 had lost more than a third of its workforce. Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard gutted the Foreign Malign Influence Center, the State Department closed its office for countering foreign disinformation, and National Security Council working groups on Russian sabotage and disinformation stopped meeting.
The next target was the people. In August 2025, Gabbard revoked the security clearances of 37 current and former officials, among them a senior Russia analyst who helped produce the 2017 assessment, citing the “politicization or weaponization of intelligence.” Comey was indicted on Sept. 25, 2025, over his 2020 Senate testimony, five days after Trump publicly demanded his prosecution. A judge dismissed the case, but the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit is currently hearing the department’s appeal. CIA Director John Ratcliffe referred former Director Brennan for prosecution for alleged perjury in his congressional testimony, and Brennan has been subpoenaed to appear at a Florida grand jury examining whether officials who investigated Trump conspired against him.
The purge also reached below the senior level, and analysts who worked on the 2017 assessment also had their clearances stripped. The FBI forced out a veteran counterintelligence agent over his ties to an official in the original Russia investigation, and dozens of FBI agents and Justice Department prosecutors were fired or demoted for work investigating Trump or Russia.”

No government gives billions to someone like Kushner in exchange for nothing. So the fact that these people can’t show what the hell they did for the money or the reason for it is by itself a negative presumption of corruption. That’s the starting premise we must have.

Jared Kushner exposed for taking $2 Billion in bribes from Saudi and the UAE for “influencing US Politics and striking a deal to end the war in Gaza.”
Plus an additional $1 Billion for “his personal benefit.”

What the reporting does establish is that a Russian sanctioned company spent months quietly building financial control over an American energy project marketed as a patriotic win, while the administration simultaneously removed the sanctions tool that would have stopped it.
🇷🇺 🇺🇲 SCOOP: A company called Polar LNG presents itself as the "America's Arctic Advantage" project, flag and eagle on its homepage, pitching a plan to buy Russian technology and ship Alaskan gas to Asia. The NYT reports the company's start-up funding, routed through a UAE shell, actually traces back to Novatek, the sanctioned Russian energy giant that was also supposed to supply the equipment. The CEO who ran Polar LNG until September, Joel Riddle, says he was misled about where the money came from.
The mechanism matters as much as the deception. Novatek wasn't just quietly bankrolling an American company, per texts Riddle shared with the Times, its deputy chairman discussed wiring up to $15 million directly to Polar LNG's parent, Tech Wave, with the first $5 million expected within days of an August meeting in Abu Dhabi. Two of Tech Wave's own executives previously worked at Novatek running LNG projects.
Novatek itself confirmed to the Times it's moving to take a "minority shareholder" position in the project, meaning the same sanctioned Russian company would supply the technology, finance the venture, and own a stake in American gas production simultaneously.
This isn't happening in a policy vacuum. Putin personally discussed Alaska LNG with Witkoff and Kushner last month, one thread in a broader set of energy talks that includes the Lukoil sale we covered days ago, also involving Gulf investors with ties to Witkoff and Kushner's business circles. Recently passed sanctions legislation, the Graham Act, specifically names Novatek and its Arctic LNG 2 project. Trump waived the law's Russia provisions last week, framed as necessary to keep peace talks alive. Whether or not that waiver was built with Polar LNG specifically in mind, it removes the exact legal obstacle this deal would otherwise face.
Three senior Polar LNG executives have now resigned within weeks of each other, after raising sanctions concerns with the Energy Department. The company's response was to call Riddle a "disgruntled former employee" and claim he was terminated for cause, even though internal documents show he resigned six days before any termination letter arrived. A Baker Botts legal memo attached to his resignation already flagged that Treasury's own sanctions enforcement unit had raised concerns about Polar LNG's Novatek ties before any of this became public.
Geoffrey Pyatt, a former Biden State Department energy official, put the stakes plainly: bringing Novatek into Arctic Alaska is bad on environmental, economic and geopolitical grounds, and "feeds the belief that Putin can get an out-of-jail-free card." Ilya Zaslavskiy goes further, calling any Novatek technology transfer a Kremlin attempt to use US energy policy to undermine US policy toward Ukraine.
The Times found no evidence Witkoff or Kushner knew about the Novatek financing specifically, only that Alaska LNG came up in broad terms during their talks with Putin.
What the reporting does establish is that a Russian sanctioned company spent months quietly building financial control over an American energy project marketed as a patriotic win, while the administration simultaneously removed the sanctions tool that would have stopped it.
