UK’s Keir Starmer is eager to sign a 100-year partnership with Ukraine to strengthen security in the Baltic, Azov, and Black Seas and increase economic and cultural ties. The pact will ensure that the UK is obligated to support Ukraine regardless of who comes to power after Starmer. A Russian drone strike targeting Kyiv amid Starmer’s meeting with Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky strengthened their resolve. “For me, that drone attack is just really a reminder of what Ukraine is facing every day and a reminder that this war is brought about by Russian aggression,” Starmer told reporters at a press...

Steve Bannon unloaded on Elon Musk, calling him a “truly evil guy” who must be run out of the MAGA movement. Musk spent more than a quarter of a million dollars to help return President-elect Donald Trump to the White House. The billionaire Tesla CEO and owner of X has been a fixture at Mar-a-Lago ever since, with some reports indicating Musk’s near-constant presence is wearing on Trump. “I will have Elon Musk run out of here by Inauguration Day,” Bannon, a former Trump White House adviser, told the Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera in an interview published on Wednesday....

He was reportedly ordered to tell no-one, switch his transponder off and get on his private plane in the capital Damascus. The aircraft then travelled to Russia’s Khmeimim air...

@naval Elon’s purchase of Twitter was the single most consequential act of the last decade. It restored free speech, broke the Overton window, and enabled the second American revolution. @elonmusk May or may not be most consequential – history will be the judge – but probably within the top 5. Buying Twitter caused me mega pain, but it had to be done to ensure humanity took the good fork in the road.

After they beat Azat Azatyan so bad blood came out of his ears; after they sent electric shocks up his genitals; after they wacked him with pipes and truncheons, the Russians began to interrogate him about his faith. “When did you become a Baptist? When did you become an American spy?” Azat tried to explain that in Ukraine there was freedom of religion, you could just choose your faith. But his torturers saw the world the same way as their predecessors at the KGB did: an American church is just a front for the American state. Azat was dragged back...

Japan is an energy-dependent nation that relies on imports to function. Despite being a G7 member, Japan has remained largely silent on the Russia-Ukraine war and is the only member to deny Zelensky’s pleas for weapons. The prime minister was the last in the alliance to visit Ukraine amid the war. The G7 nations set a $60 per barrel price cap on Russian crude but granted Japan a pass. Japan has purchased nearly 748,000 barrels of Russian oil for $70 a piece in the first two months of the year alone. All of the MSM headlines read: “JAPAN BREAKS ALLIANCE...
