@NOELreports Distraction tactic possibly?

❗️Russian forces are distributing leaflets in Nikopol threatening a rapid crossing of the Dnipro River and stating that the city will be under attack within two weeks, with all vehicles considered targets. Nikopol is increasing security measures, closing markets, and advising residents to avoid open areas. #Ukraine

@steven_cas85123 @Microinteracti1 It’s a pity you are so parochial and can’t think about the bigger picture. Making America Great Again isent working.

@Microinteracti1 Then I guess when you stop buying American you are just destroying your own arms industry. Either way you are screwed.

I am not sure the American military establishment has fully grasped what Trump has actually done here. So let me spell it out in language even a Pentagon procurement officer can understand. Europe has been buying American weapons at a staggering rate. In 2024 alone, US foreign military sales notifications to European countries hit $76 billion. Four times the European average since 2008.  F-35s, missile systems, air defence, ammunition. All of it American. All of it coming with decades of service contracts, maintenance agreements, spare parts, software updates and training programmes worth hundreds of billions more over their operational lifetimes. Between 2020 and 2024, the United States supplied 64 percent of all European weapons imports.  That is now over. Europe has an $860 billion defence plan, and American contractors are being frozen out. The goal is 80 percent of all military purchases from European factories by 2030.  Airbus. Rheinmetall. KNDS. Saab. Leonardo. BAE Systems. They are about to receive the largest order book in the history of European defence industry. Because Trump made it politically impossible for any European government to keep writing cheques to Washington. Some European governments have discussed worries that the Pentagon could remotely disable American F-35 fighters or impose restrictions on how US weapons can be used.  When your supplier is also threatening to annex your allies, that is not paranoia. That is basic procurement logic. Trump set out to make America great again. He has succeeded magnificently. For Rheinmetall. Gandalv / @Microinteracti1

@scott_edinburgh @alexmassie Which are not City’s 😄

@alexmassie Edinburgh is a relatively small, about the same size as Barnet or Croydon.

It used to be Glasgow; now it’s Edinburgh. (Manchester and Birmingham can argue about being England’s second city.)

@NOELreports Is that only because Ukraine are advancing and making ground?

❗️Presidential Office Head Budanov announced that Witkoff and Kushner, possibly joined by Senator Lindsey Graham, might visit Kyiv after Easter as part of a US delegation, with security guarantees from the US being a key issue for Ukraine. #Ukraine

@BowlingJonathan @bradeitner @McFaul Can you type in proper English please. Thanks in advance.

@peakybunnet @bradeitner @McFaul Exactly why we will pulling back on Ukraine bitch lol you pussies love acting high and mighty until you need something.

@bradeitner @BowlingJonathan @McFaul It’s ok Chum, we are and always have been innovative gov.uk/government/cas…

@peakybunnet @BowlingJonathan @McFaul 🤣, the cope is strong. We haven't even deployed our "call of duty" kill streaks yet. At the same time we're going around the moon right now. Do you know how worthless your civilization has become? Spend more on pipe bombs, we spend it on semiconductor research.

@bradeitner @BowlingJonathan @McFaul No thanks. We are two smart to get involved in a war you shouldn’t have started and can’t finish. The best army navy and air force in the world and you can’t beat little old Iran without Israel and now begging for help from others.

@peakybunnet @BowlingJonathan @McFaul We're fighting the same fight here in the US. But you Brits have so little self respect, and no personal boundaries. It's embarrassing to watch on the world stage. I know you think you have clout. You don't. Bring your RAF into Iran with your allies. Or STFU.

@bradeitner @BowlingJonathan @McFaul Most of our tape gangs are white if that helps Ivan?

@peakybunnet @JamesUK101 @BowlingJonathan @McFaul We can go back to you liberals tolerating, and ENCOURAGING Pakistani rape gangs. How about that?

@bradeitner @JamesUK101 @BowlingJonathan @McFaul Russia invaded Mauripol as they said the residents were Russian. I could go on and on about Russian atrocities Ivan but I would be hear all night. Not to mention USA blowing up schools and community halls in Iran

@peakybunnet @JamesUK101 @BowlingJonathan @McFaul That's not 40,000 of their own citizens.

@bradeitner @JamesUK101 @BowlingJonathan @McFaul Ok Ivan. I have seen the images.

@peakybunnet @JamesUK101 @BowlingJonathan @McFaul 419 of them had weapons. Did you forget that part?

@bradeitner @JamesUK101 @BowlingJonathan @McFaul Russia murdered up to 600 civilians in the Mariupol Opera House March 2022

@peakybunnet @JamesUK101 @BowlingJonathan @McFaul It's intellectually dishonest to make that comparison. Iran just killed 40,000 of its own people in January. Forgot so soon?

@bradeitner @JamesUK101 @BowlingJonathan @McFaul I like how you don’t disagree that Russia are your new best friends Ivan 🇷🇺

@bradeitner @JamesUK101 @BowlingJonathan @McFaul So has Russia….. your new best friends

@JamesUK101 @BowlingJonathan @McFaul Iran has been inciting terrorism for 50 years and this wasn't necessary? They want nuclear weapons. What the hell is wrong with you? This is waaaay overdue.

@nettermike Cheerio, shut the door on the way out

Marco Rubio says "If Europe won’t allow us to use the bases we man and fund for their defense when we need them, we ought to close them down and remove our troops from Europe!" Agree?

@pritipatel Who cares what it’s called!! It still has marmalade on the jar FFS

Labour is now attacking the great British marmalade! No idea Keir is so desperate to fit in with his EU pals and unpick Brexit, he's now looking to rename British marmalade to align with the EU. When Labour negotiates, Britain loses big time….  mol.im/a/15703815

@PolitlcsUK Who cares, does it matter.

🚨 NEW: Marmalade will have to be sold as "citrus marmalade" under the upcoming UK-EU food deal This is because EU rules from June will broaden the definition of "marmalade" to include non-citrus spreads

@Hugh_might @aodanhill FFS

@aodanhill Ah now Englishman. Ireland is not in the British Isles. And you left out the Channel Islands. They are in the British ISles.

Distribution of standing stones in the British Isles. Note the absence in south-eastern England and the heavy densities in north-east Scotland, Northern Ireland, south-west Ireland, and Cornwall.

@amazingmap Scotland A white saltire extending to the corners on a blue field. Represents the cross upon which St Andrew, the patron saint of Scotland, was martyred Legend says King Angus saw a white saltire against a blue sky before a battle in East Lothian in 832 AD, which led to victory

Why so many Northern European flags share the same cross design It started in one country and gradually spread across the region

@Orinocopat @Connor_RiceyGFC Buy yourself this book. It’s really interesting 😄

I didn’t go to American schools so I can’t be sure but apparently they teach enough so that Americans have by far the most Nobel prizes more than the UK, Germany and France combined. Also they teach how to land astronauts on the moon. So what do they teach in your European schools?

What do they actually teach at American schools??????
