I spent February in America, then a week in the UK before heading for Germany and, because of the Heathrow airport fire, across central Europe to Paris. It's fascinating to see how some of the news gets reported in different territories.
- USA: Trumpski and his supposed peace brokering are breathlessly reported in American news, with everyone too frightened to challenge anything in case they get their passes rescinded—or worse. We all know he is looking at the amount he can make from trouble and strife, especially with a large back pocket.
- UK: Kier Starmer as the tightrope act between USA and Europe over Ukraine. Hardly any news profile outside UK.
- Germany and France: Emmanuel Macron, Olaf Scholz, and occasionally Ursula von der Leyen are depicted as main peace brokers while simultaneously loading up with arms. No mention of Starmer.
And the V-22s Special Ops planes are making practice flights.
