It is absolutely necessary for Europe
to stop seeing #USA as a "Friend'
current US administration IS NOT.

Putin has been successful in #Russify the US with #Trump

My grandpa ran away from home when he was 16yrs old, to another village in the Scottish borders where he wasn't known, so that he could join the army to fight in World War I.
~60yrs later, when I was also ~16, I studied Strange Meeting for my English Literature, school 'Higher' exam. I knew it well. Nothing has changed.
Are there any immigration lawyers in the house? What's the situation just now with getting Palestinians from #Gaza refugee status in the UK? You'd think, for people suffering #GazaGenocide, it ought to be pretty much automatic, but given our xenophobic, pro-Israeli government, it wouldn't surprise me if they're all treated as terrorists.
But there are two ends to the problem of getting refugees from #Gaza to safety. One is getting them out of Gaza, but the other is getting somewhere else to take them in and give them homes. And although I think Netanyahu can't be shamed, I hope the UK government -- and EU governments -- can.

"Jeffrey Epstein was not a self-made man. His success, especially in the early days, depended on the largesse of the rich and powerful men and women with whom he curried favor. He was an opportunist. His genius, if we can call it that, lay in cultivating and leveraging relationships with important people, both in the United States and around the world."
"No matter how hard he tries, Trump can’t escape Epstein.
His name comes up thousands of times in the files. You know what other name comes up? Russia. Epstein was closely linked to Putin and Russia, and it’s likely he was involved with the world’s largest honey-pot operation to compromise some of the world’s most wealthy and powerful people."
"Though Epstein has gone, the cryptocurrency infrastructure he helped to rescue, the ideological antipathy to regulation in Silicon Valley, and the dark, unaccountable influence of crypto politics in our democratic elections remain one of his most damaging legacies."
When the despot #Putin is removed from power, #Russia should be dismantled for scrap and resources for acts of sabotage and treason against the world under the Putin regime and for multiple threats of a #nuclear response to failed Russian policy towards its neighbors and hostile posturing against the world.
Russia is bad for business. #premarket #investing #NoKings !
