He does not give a shit about any of this. He just knows which way the wind is blowing and he is nothing if not an opportunist.

I wonder if we, i.e. the West, are coming to the realization that what is said or proclaimed is not necessarily what can be made to pass - no matter the extent of the high ground.

Are the rats jumping?

The rats are being thrown off to make room for bigger rats.

Anyone Hungarian want to tell us why Trump backing Orban would be a success when a Trump backing in the US seems to be a poisoned chalice right now.

Obviously, they’re doing this for Trump’s very favorite friend, “Vladi from Russia”, because Hungary has been stubbornly blocking all EU funds to Ukraine for years, along with thousands of other things. With their public support, they’re only now revealing their true anti-EU/anti-Ukraine stance, but that’s nothing we didn’t already know.

According to the polls, it probably won’t be a success, but I wouldn’t rule out the possibility that Orban won’t step aside voluntarily. Either they’ll try to sabotage the election, or something else very unpleasant will happen, I fear.

This from Haberman and Swan from info they rustled up for their upcoming book

Its pretty easy to imagine that Netanyahu pinned himself to Trump so much so early as despite all the “Trump is anti war” nonsense, Bibi saw him clearly as a once in a lifetime opportunity to have a US president who would buy his bullshit

Christ, further reporting has Caine telling Trump that it is standard Israel to present half thought through plans based on intelligence they dont believe to try to get the US to act and this was no different. Rubio and the CIA head were reported to have told him the plans presented were farcical. Trump said the negative consequences would not be our problem so lets do it

Thinking every Jew in Israeli is responsible for Netanyahu is. Calling Netanyahu an his horrors and supporters a bunch of geocidal maniacs is not.

It’s very easy to make that distinction and I wish some of the far left would do more of that.

Iran has launched missiles after this, but that’s on Israel. I don’t know really. A lot of what he writes is pure bullshit of course. I will await communication and answer from Tehran, but Pakistan has been trying to avert now, whatever it was that was supposed to happen tonight (annihilation of electricity etc.)
