#Washington’s #G7 allies are warming to a #US plan to rush tens of billions of dollars in funding to #Ukraine before Donald #Trump’s potential return to the White House.
Under the plan, set to be discussed at a June summit, #Kyiv would receive money upfront from a G7 loan. The loan would be backed by future profits generated from around $350bn of Russian assets which have been immobilised in the west in response to Moscow’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
So now we are paying public servants to sit in court for #traitor#trump... Their salaries come from our taxes, tell them to get their asses back to #Washington and do their damned jobs instead of supporting their cult leader on our dime!!! #MAGA = #DomesticTerrorists
#Washington has not changed its position on potential Ukrainian strikes with #US-supplied weapons on Russian territory, even after #Russia had launched its offensive in #Kharkiv Oblast, #Pentagon spokesperson Sabrina #Singh said at a press briefing on May 16.
"We believe that the equipment, the capabilities that we are giving Ukraine, that other countries are giving to #Ukraine should be used to take back Ukrainian sovereign territory,"
Taking back Ukrainian territory begins by striking every airfield hosting russian bombers - not just Belbek. It continues by striking every piece of artillery and force concentration on russian side of frontline, whether Donbas, Crimea, Belgorod or Rostov. Striking every ammunition and weapons factory, warehouse or logistics route russians use, where ever it may be.

"We are devolving into a democracy, because congressmen and senators are elected by the same pool.... We do not want to be a democracy.....
"We encourage Republicans to substitute the words ‘republic’ and ‘republicanism’ where previously they have used the word ‘democracy'.... Every time the word ‘democracy’ is used favorably it serves to promote the principles of the Democratic Party, the principles of which we ardently oppose....

Rivalité États-Unis - Chine : la géopolitique au cœur de la guerre #économique
A priori, la #guerre économique que mènent les États-Unis contre la Chine relève principalement du domaine des #technologies. Mais en réalité, c’est surtout une question de géopolitique car celui qui veut dominer le monde doit maîtriser les #infrastructures de #communication. C’est le cœur de la bataille qui oppose #Pékin à #Washington. Pour en parler, Ali Laïdi s'est entretenu avec Benjamin #Bürbaumer, économiste, maître de conférences à Sciences Po Bordeaux et auteur du livre "Chine - États-Unis, le capitalisme contre la mondialisation" (Ed. La Découverte).

Hey people in Washington State, have you written to WSDOT to ask them to revise their Amtrak Cascades long term plans to include faster travel times? Comments close on April 18, so please write now!
@alan I wrote and just submitted an approximately 1,700-word assessment of the Amtrak Cascades Service Development Plan Preliminary Alternatives, specifically on Bellingham and Whatcom County impacts.
@alan Lolz. ... Beyond the medicore top speeds others have been stressing, for Bellingham and Whatcom County, I worry that a lack of rail corridor improvements in British Columbia will continue to hamper the reliability of southbound trains south of the U.S.-Canada border, despite the increased number of roundtrips and limited track improvements at Custer, Ferndale, South Bellingham and the BNSF Delta Yard in Everett. ...
This meme reminds me of the struggle to place and glue many clips accurately spaced around a metal hoop working with local crew equipped with tape measures with only 1/8th inch markings outside the White House a few years ago. 😬
