Zelensky Is Winning Over MAGA—Trump Is Still Waffling

Something consequential is happening inside the MAGA movement: Ukraine’s message is beginning to break through. President Zelensky is connecting Russia’s war against Ukraine to threats that directly affect Americans. Ukrainian intelligence says Russia is helping Iran with satellite surveillance of U.S. military facilities, strengthening North Korea’s military capabilities, and building a broader anti-American alliance. That argument is being amplified by unlikely voices. Laura Loomer has openly reversed her position on Ukraine, called Russia an enemy of the United States, and urged Republicans to support stronger Russia-Iran sanctions. Even Trump acknowledged that reporters are seeing a pro-Ukraine shift within MAGA—although he insisted that his supporters ultimately follow him. But Trump remains inconsistent. He speaks positively about Zelensky, says he wants the war ended, and supports sanctions rhetoric—but he continues to hesitate when Ukraine asks for the weapons, permissions, and sustained pressure necessary to force Putin to change course. MAGA may be listening. Trump is still waffling. #Ukraine #Zelensky #MAGA #Trump #Russia #Putin #Iran #UkraineWar Facts over noise. Context over headlines. Truth over talking points.

Watched that Boris Johnson documentary last night in which he went into the "kill zone" in Ukraine. On the plus side he was warmly welcomed by service personnel putting their lives on the line. On the downside it was one of the most self serving, self mythologising bits of tv I've ever seen.

Lord George Foulkes is 100% correct. “Membership (of the House of Lords) should be seen as a job and peers as working peers. Unfortunately it is also seen as an honour and that should be stopped, members required to attend and contribute, and those unable or unwilling to do so removed.”

@allshorts.bsky.social @richardknott.eurosky.social House of Lords peers facing axe under proposed new rules... So the thinking is that there should be a minimum limit on attendance to keep sitting in the Lords under new rules www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...
