Just talked about this on French TV as have been about royal stuff for 35 yrs๐Ÿคก I honestly find this one plain weird, all totally cut off from reality, no flag-waving actual people - and what with the rain (Macron had Windsor High St AND sun !) - it's all a bit Monty-Pythonesque

If the UN are not to be trusted about Israeli genocide, did they also exaggerate what Hamas did on October 7th? Thread includes extracts from the UHRC Oct 7th report.

At the presser, Trump who laid the foundations for US withdrawal from Afghanistan, said: "We're trying to get [Bagram airbase] back, by the way. That could be a little breaking news." A little? Do the Taliban know? America planning re-invasion? Did you now this, Pete Hegseth?

. Trump is mercurial. What matters is what he says when he gets home. But then again he'll say something else the day after that.
