LET'S START HERE BY STATING THE ABC (AUSTRALIAN BROADCASTING CORPORATION) IS DOING A MUCH BETTER JOB THAN THE OTHER "LEGACY" MEDIA (MMMM — MEDIOCRE MASS MEDIA DE MIERDA) AND THAT A PUBLIC BROADCASTER IS A NECESSITY IN THESE TIMES MORE THAN EVER. WE ALSO KNOW THAT THE 'LIBERAL" (CONSERVATIVE) PARTY WANTS TO GET RID OF — OR AT LEAST PRIVATISE THE ABC. WE SHALL DEFEND THE ABC, THOUGH FROM TIME TO TIME, THE ABC NEEDS TO BE KEPT ON THE STRAIGHT AND NARROW...

United States President Donald Trump has proposed talks with China and Russia to discuss reducing all three countries’ nuclear stockpiles and slashing their defence budgets in half.

Speaking to reporters at the White House on Thursday, Trump said he hoped to meet Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin “when things calm down”.

“When we straighten it all out, then I want one of the first meetings I have [to be] with President Xi of China, President Putin of Russia. And I want to say, let’s cut our military budget in half,” Trump said ahead of a summit meeting with Indian President Narendra Modi.

“We’re going to have them spend a lot less money,” Trump added. “We’re going to spend a lot less money. And I know they’re going to do it.”

Arriving at Nato headquarters early on Thursday, Europe's defence ministers had one common message - that there could be no negotiations about Ukraine without Ukraine and Europe at the table too.

The question is to what extent the US is listening.

After a frenetic 24 hours of US declarations, there is a tangible sense that Europe's leaders have been caught by surprise; that they now fear being bypassed on any potential Ukraine deal and being deprived of a voice on the future of European security.

Germany's Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock spoke of Donald Trump's call with Vladimir Putin as being "very much out of the blue", even if the US president had made it clear for months that he was aiming to bring a quick end to the war.

Despite US President Donald Trump threatening Brics with 100% tariffs and declaring its death, the group remains important to India and is central to India’s multilateral engagement to secure national interests

 

Continuing his criticism of Brics, US President Donald Trump on Thursday announced the death of the group.

For months, Trump has been threatening Brics members with 100 per cent tariffs over concern regarding ‘dedollarisation’, referring to the purported efforts to dislodge US Dollar as the primary currency of international trade.

Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage have been announced as speakers at the Alliance for Responsible Citizenship (ARC) conference later this month alongside close allies of President Donald Trump and his anti-climate agenda, DeSmog can reveal.

ARC is a network of influential right-wing figures from across the world, and the group claims that its conference in London will “work to re-lay the foundations of civilisation”.

CNN — Federal agencies across Washington are finding ways to keep funding frozen even after judges last month temporarily blocked the White House’s effort to pause trillions of dollars in federal assistance.

Ukraine was never promised NATO membership as part of any peace agreement with Russia, the US-led military bloc’s Secretary-General Mark Rutte has said. He added that the bloc should only ensure a new conflict between Moscow and Kiev will not break out in the future, he added.

Speaking to reporters on Thursday, Rutte said Kiev’s potential accession had never been tied to resolution of the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine.

“We have to make sure that Vladimir Putin never ever tries again to attack Ukraine, that is crucial ... but it has never been a promise to Ukraine that as part of [a] peace deal they would be part of NATO,” Rutte said.

The presentation discusses President Donald Trump’s approach to negotiations with Russian President Vladimir Putin regarding the Russia-Ukraine war. Analysts, including John Bolton and former British Commodore Steve Jeremy, argue that Trump has effectively "surrendered" to Putin by adopting negotiation terms that align with Russia’s interests before formal talks have even begun.

Key points include:

European Shock & Strategic Failures: Many European leaders and U.S. officials express surprise and concern over Trump’s stance, but analysts argue that this reaction stems from a long-standing strategic miscalculation by Western elites. NATO and Western leaders have consistently misjudged the situation by pushing political narratives rather than military strategy.

The depth of Australia’s slide into an irrelevant and untrustworthy minnow on the global stage was demonstrated when distinguished UN special rapporteur Francesca Albanese described the Australian prime minister’s refusal to criticise Donald Trump’s plan to turn Gaza into a neo-colonial capitalist venture for the benefit of his family and friends, as “pathetic”.

“Let’s not mince words about what this represents: a surrender of Ukraine’s interests and our own, even before negotiations begin,” says U.S. Senator Adam Schiff.

Kyiv’s backers reacted with shock and outrage to U.S. President Donald Trump’s announcement that he had spoken with Russian leader Vladimir Putin and would “start negotiations immediately” with him about the Ukraine war.

U.S. Senator Adam Schiff, a long-time Trump critic who was the lead prosecutor in the Republican’s first impeachment trial, called the president “a great dealmaker all right — for the Kremlin.”

It is hard to overestimate the significance of the recent phone call between Russian President Vladimir Putin and his US counterpart Donald Trump, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov has said. He also noted that the presidents have instructed their teams to lay the groundwork for the summit.

The call on Wednesday marked the first known conversation between the US and Russian leaders since the escalation of the Ukraine conflict in February 2022. Trump has since signaled that he is “okay” with keeping Ukraine out of NATO and suggested that it is “unlikely” that Kiev could regain all of the territory it has lost to Russia over the past decade. Trump also noted that the presidents had exchanged invitations to visit each other’s countries.

Donald Trump stated that he wants the European Union to purchase weapons for Ukraine. Ursula von der Leyen has met with JD Vance and they discussed energy security, trade between the EU and the US and also the situation in Ukraine. Pete Hegseth will not announce a new military support package for Ukraine during the Ramstein meeting of Ukraine Defence Contact Group.

Donald Trump has announced his intention to build a gigantic anti-ballistic missile system to counter Chinese and Russian nuclear weapons, and he is recruiting Elon Musk to help him. The Pentagon has long dreamed of constructing an American “Iron Dome.”
