Wouldn’t it be poetic justice if Trump’s cowardly turn against Ukraine encouraged Europe to give them the resources to kick Russia completely off Ukrainian soil?

Starmer vowed to bolster Ukraine to allow the nation to negotiate a peace agreement from a position of power.

By Henry Austin and Doha Madani

LONDON — British Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced billions in support for Ukraine on Sunday following a summit with European leaders, just days after President Donald Trump berated Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in the Oval Office.

Starmer announced a loan of 2.2 billion British pounds ($2.8 billion) to support Ukraine, funded through the freezing of Russian assets passed on Saturday. He also highlighted a new deal that would allow Ukraine to use 1.6 billion pounds ($2 billion) in export finance to buy missiles made in Northern Ireland.

Loving how half of my dash is filled with Europeans supporting England through gritted teeth just because they want Spain to lose, and the other half supporting Spain through gritted teeth just because they want England to lose. It's truly beautiful how football brings us all together.

As we mark the 81st anniversary of D-Day, Europeans reflect on the profound sacrifices of their great-grandfathers, grandfathers, and fathers, whose courage reshaped a continent and secured the freedoms we cherish…

I was so sure this was a poorly aged post but no, someone actually said "Why on EARTH would US citizens prioritize foreign affairs?" three days ago.

(Tuberculosis is making a comeback)

(Hope you like New World Screwworms. By all means, look up why they're called that. (dont.))

(We have a global economy, btw. That means countries outside the US affect your stock market.)

I feel like there was another thing? oh yeah.

(Statement by the commander of U.S. European Command. Plus Archived version because I wouldn't rely on .gov content to remain up.)

I dunno man, seems like even without empathy there are some pretty good reasons to care about foreign affairs.
