Let's begin with Lena the Hyena, who was declared "world's ugliest woman in the world" after a contest sponsored by #AlCapp for his Li'l Abner newspaper strip (1946) #comics #BasilWolverton

"Russia must immediately, completely, and unconditionally withdraw all its military forces from the territory of Ukraine within its internationally recognised borders." - Sanna Marin Former PM of Finland concise and clear...! Awesome woman as always 🫡

Absolute humiliation for the White House. France 24 exposes how Trump begged NATO to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, got completely rejected because Europe refuses to fight his disastrous war, and is now throwing a tantrum threatening to leave NATO. Total strategic collapse.

@CeJour_Histoire Merci de ne pas avoir oublié mon ancêtre, Maurice Koechlin. C'est son dessin qui a été sélectionné par Eiffel.

@JordanHankx C'est un navet ce film !! Certaines scènes sont grotesques... Nicole voulait refaire un eyes wide shut 25 ans après mais n'est pas Kubrick qui veut....

Vous mélangez tout, même les fake news. Donc je répète, pour la énième fois, car je ne veux plus laisser passer vos arrangements avec la vérité : La Présidente de l’Assemblée ne décide pas seule des minutes de silence et ne vote d’ailleurs même pas. En revanche cette minute a été proposée par un président de groupe puis approuvée par la totalité des autres dont Mathilde Panot pour le groupe… LFI. À bon entendeur…

I am honoured to receive the Order of Princess Olha. Ukraine has been on my mind every day since Russia started its war of aggression. Thank you again, dear @ZelenskyyUa, for this great honour. I will do what I can to support your country defend itself.

"We must ensure that Ukraine wins and regains all of its territories, including Crimea." - Sanna Marin Former PM of Finland She is great😉

Pensée pour le grand Bernard Blier✨ Un casse absurde, une comédie qui déraille et Bernard Blier, imperturbable. Dans C’est pas parce qu’on a rien à dire qu’il faut fermer sa gueule…, le sérieux devient comique.

That's it. That's the best picture from Saturday's No Kings protests in the USA. The literal Statue of Liberty being detained by police. It doesn't get much more poetic than this.

🤬Mon coup de gueule ! Voici ma réponse à tous les commentaires écœurants que l'on peut lire ici : On peut discuter des priorités, critiquer la gestion de l’argent public, c’est normal, c’est même sain. Mais réduire cette Saison ukrainienne à un simple "pognon dépensé pour rien", c’est oublier que derrière chaque concert, chaque expo, il y a des artistes qui résistent, une culture qu’on essaie d’étouffer sous les bombes, et un peuple qui refuse de disparaître. L’Ukraine, ce n’est pas un dossier administratif ou une ligne de budget. C’est des villes en ruines, des familles déchirées, une nation qui se bat pour exister. Alors oui, la France a des problèmes comme les hôpitaux en crise, l’éducation à la peine, on le sait. Mais est-ce qu’on doit choisir entre aider nos malades et montrer qu’on ne laisse pas un pays se faire écraser ? Depuis quand la solidarité devient un luxe ?🤬 À ceux qui râlent : personne ne vous force à aimer la culture ukrainienne. Mais avant de cracher sur cet effort, demandez-vous juste une chose : si demain, c’était notre patrimoine, notre langue, notre liberté qu’on essayait d’effacer, est-ce qu’on aurait envie d’entendre "j’m’en fous, ça me coûte trop cher" ? La décadence, ce n’est pas de tendre la main. C’est de fermer les yeux. Méditez là dessus !!

🔥 "Flamingo" ukrainiens : Kyiv frappe à 3000 km, Moscou grince des dents👊 ⚠️Je n'ai pas pu croiser cette info avec plusieurs sources... Donc, à suivre ... Un vidéo floue, trois traits de lumière dans le ciel nocturne. Officiellement ? Rien. Officieusement ? Les réseaux russes s’embrasent : ce seraient des missiles ukrainiens "Flamingo" – 3000 km de portée, 1 tonne d’explosifs – qui ont visé le cœur industriel de la Russie. Cible ? L’usine Promsintez à Chapayevsk, fabrique à explosifs pour l’armée de Poutine. Problème (pour Moscou) : L’usine : Un joyau du complexe militaro-industriel russe. Sans elle, les obus et missiles manquent. Les Flamingo : Utilisés depuis 2025 par Kyiv, ces monstres volants transforment n’importe quel point en Russie en cible "légitime". La nuit du 28 mars, c’est toute la Russie qui a tremblé – drones sur une raffinerie à Iaroslavl, raids multiples. La réponse russe : 155 drones abattus, clame le ministère de la Défense. Sauf que… les vidéos des dégâts parlent d’elles-mêmes. Petit bonus (ironique) : Moscou hurle à "l’escalade". Sauf que bombarder des usines d’armes, c’est un peu comme voler le portefeuille d’un voleur. À suivre : Kyiv ne confirme rien (stratégie classique). Mais si les Flamingo deviennent la norme, Poutine va devoir sortir le carnet de chèques pour reconstruire… ou prier pour que ses PVO tiennent le choc. 💥 Prochaine cible ? Les paris sont ouverts. t.me/exilenova_plus…

BREAKING: Zelensky just landed in the UAE and signed a defence cooperation agreement with President MBZ. The deal on the table changes everything about this war. Ukraine is offering Gulf states 1,000 drone interceptors per day. Each Sting interceptor costs $2,100. Each Patriot missile it replaces costs $3.9 million. In exchange, Ukraine wants the Patriot missiles the Gulf states are burning through, because Kyiv cannot get enough of them to stop Russian missiles. Read that again. The country America refused to arm fast enough is now arming America’s allies with a weapon that costs 1,857 times less than the one America cannot produce fast enough. The National reported on March 27 that Zelensky told reporters: “We’d like to quietly receive the Patriot missiles we have a deficit of, and give them a corresponding number of interceptors.” AFP confirmed the UAE agreement on March 28. Eleven countries have formally requested Ukraine’s drone defence expertise per Zelensky’s own count. Over 200 Ukrainian military specialists are already deployed across the UAE, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and Jordan. Here is the arithmetic that should terrify every Pentagon procurement officer on earth. The United States fired 943 Patriot interceptors in the first four days of the Iran war per a US Congressional study cited by the Jerusalem Post. That is eighteen months of Lockheed Martin’s annual production consumed in 96 hours. Each of those 943 shots cost $3.9 million. Total expenditure: $3.68 billion in four days on defensive interceptions alone. Iran produces 10,000 Shahed drones per month per Reuters. Each drone costs $20,000 to $50,000. The cost exchange ratio is 114 to 1 in Iran’s favour per Military Times. Ukraine’s Sting interceptor inverts this arithmetic entirely. At $2,100, the cost ratio flips from 114-to-1 against America to roughly 10-to-1 against Iran. Ukraine can supply 1,000 per day. That is 30,000 per month against Iran’s 10,000 Shaheds per month. For the first time in this war, the defender’s production rate exceeds the attacker’s production rate at a fraction of the cost. And the country that built this weapon is the same country that Trump publicly rejected. “No, they are not helping. We do not need their help. We know more about drones than anyone else” per Fox News. He doubled down: “The last person we need help from is Zelensky.” Meanwhile the Pentagon notified Congress of plans to redirect $750 million in Ukraine-bound Patriot missiles to Gulf states per House of Saud reporting. America is simultaneously refusing Ukraine’s cheap solution and cannibalising Ukraine’s expensive one. Zelensky framed this explicitly. He told The National: “No matter how many Patriots, THAADs, or other air-defence systems are in the Middle East, that alone is not enough for fully effective air defence.” He told the UK Parliament: “When it comes to shooting down massive Shahed attacks, only Ukrainian experience can really help with this today.” The Pentagon is spending $3.9 million per interception, raiding Swiss fighter jet accounts to cover shortfalls, and diverting Ukraine’s own Patriot supply to the Gulf. Zelensky is offering the same result for $2,100 and producing 1,000 units per day. The market has a word for this kind of disruption. The $2,100 drone is the most important weapon in this war. And the country that built it is the one America said it did not need. Full analysis - open.substack.com/pub/shanakaans…

There are many good journalists—and there are stupid scum who give a platform to the worst mass murderers since Hitler. „An interview with Sergey Lavrov was broadcast on French television. It triggered a wave of criticism against the journalist, who was accused of giving the Russian leader the opportunity to spread propaganda. Lea Salame, a journalist with France 2, part of the public broadcasting network, conducted an interview with Lavrov without interrupting him and asking almost no follow-up questions. France 24 reports on this. When the journalist asked Lavrov whether Russia was violating international law in Ukraine, the Russian minister began talking about a “Nazi-led Ukraine,” a “coup d'état” in Ukraine in 2014, “completely illegal” sanctions against Russia, and claiming that Russia was not attacking civilian targets in Ukraine. The journalist then pointed out that her French colleagues had evidence and witness statements about attacks on civilians. French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot criticized the interview, stating that Lavrov was able to "spread his propaganda unhindered" during it. The Director of Information at France's public broadcaster, Philippe Corbé, defended the interview, stating that the conversation with Lavrov was "clearly of journalistic interest." The journalists' association of France Télévisions also sided with journalist Lea Salame, who, she said, "presented Mr. Lavrov with facts," referring to attacks on "schools and hospitals" and the "thousands of Ukrainian civilians who have died in this war."“ Ukraine Now

I can’t stop watching French Senator Claude Malhuret dismantle and deliver facts about the MAGA political landscape I’m genuinely enjoying how the French are calling out and roasting MAGA US right now, saying out loud what many Europeans are thinking 🇫🇷

Dear USA, This is what the French think about you at the moment.

"Trump, the Mar-a-Lago golfer, is the only bull in the world who walks around with his own china shop. When a clown takes over the Palace, he doesn't become King. It's the Palace that becomes a circus" French senator Claude Malhuret once again nails it. You won't hear a better indictment of Trump and his Gulf war than this. Well worth 5 minutes of your time My English s/t 👇

It started with a single blue and yellow flag... now, the map is being rewritten! 🇺🇦✨ The liberation of Kupyansk isn't just a local victory; it’s a logistical nightmare for the Kremlin. By retaking this "impenetrable fortress," Ukrainian forces have severed 40% of the supply lines fueling the Donbas front. 🚂❌ From the 100-day siege at the central hospital to the collapse of elite tank divisions, the Russian retreat is real. 📉 As fuel runs dry and tanks sit stranded near Belgorod, Ukraine is pushing the advantage with high-tech fiber-optic drones and precision strikes. 🚀🎯 The "Sky Shield" is cracking, and the Black Sea Fleet is in hiding. The message from the frontlines is clear: the era of Russian "invincibility" is over. Kupyansk is the springboard, and the momentum is only growing. 🌊⚔️
