Trump rolls out red carpet to welcome Putin to Alaska The U.S. and Russian presidents have started their meeting, with senior aides in the room.

Seeing as you mention Putin, Dana, a quick reminder that he hasn't been allowed to set foot in the EU since he was indicted for war crimes in 2023, yet your president welcomed rolled out the red carpet for him six months ago: www.politico.com/news/2025/08...

Dana, here's another Reuters story for you. Like I said, please put your own house in order before you point fingers, especially at places you can't even find on a map. #Laignoranciaesatrevida www.reuters.com/world/middle...

Why do you tolerate your government waging war on Iran and supporting genocide in Gaza? How can you possible defend ICE shooting innocent people on the streets, putting people in concentration camps and deporting them to torture centres in El Salvador?

Have you ever set foot in Europe, Dana?

Indeed, all part of the Brexit bill and even that may not be sustainable.

I remember Nissan were already disgruntled in the late 90s when the UK refused to join the euro.

It is of course yet another sign that he and the USA have lost the plot completely, and all the more reason we have to cut loose or else they'll drag us down with them.

Having lived and worked in the USA twice, I know how rife religious mania -- it's beyond "fundamentalism" -- is there in a way that's barely conceivable in Europe, and this man is shamelessly exploiting it.

I'm not sure he understands very much of anything, above all because he is obviously demented.

UK is apparently sending a warship to Cyprus, although it's not clear whether this is to do any more than defend its own bases.

Neither is it clear why the UK still has bases in Cyprus, which became independent in 1960.

Iceland locks in on date for EU referendum | Euractiv As a member of the European Economic Area, Iceland is already aligned with much of the bloc's legislation

Just announced: Iceland has urgently moved up its referendum to join the European Union - to 29 August.

A reminder: ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ธ is in many ways already a non-voting ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡บ member because of the EEA. This would give them voting power to shape the laws they have to follow.
