The nerve of Zelenskyy to refuse to cede more land to Russia that they haven’t even fought for yet, and refuse to make Russian the national language.

Nordstream-1 bombing suspect arrested in Italy.
www.reuters.com
This is such a tough diplomatic incident. Nordstream 1 was an underwater pipeline that carried natural gas from Russia to Western europe. It was 51% owned by a Russian company and 49% owned by Western European companies.
It was blown up. Initially the Russians were blamed but that didn't make a whole lot of sense. Later it comes out that it was almost certainly a pro Ukrainian group. Reports are that Zielinski initially approved of the operation but after the CIA found out about it and asked him to pull back, he canceled it. But one of his generals, currently the ambassador to the UK, went ahead with the operation.
How do you address something like that? It was a somewhat rogue Ukrainian group that destroyed vital infrastructure of a pipeline 49% owned by companies' of your nominal allies and severely hurt their economies. Ukraine has continuously denied it and the mastermind of the group is still part of Zielinski's government.
What is known about the Nord Stream gas pipeline explosions?
Italian police have arrested a Ukrainian man suspected of coordinating the attacks on the Nord Stream gas pipelines in 2022, German prosecutors said on Thursday.

That hat is so fucking stupid.
So Trump was right about everything the hat says. Someone should ask him if he was right that he would stop the war in 24 hours.
Second time in less then a week that pumping station has been hit. The first time, Hungary, called it outrageous that Ukraine would do such a thing. Wonder what they will say now? Considering, Ukraine's new Flamingo missile, it doesn't look like Hungary (or Slovakia) will be getting much more of the cheap Russian oil.

Oh, he's settling pre-wars now? He better not muscle in on my business. I've been settling pre-wars for a decade and a half. I'm up to 98. Or 102. I can't remember all of them.

“… “I’m gonna make a decision as to what we do,” the president said. “And it’s gonna be it’s going to be a very important decision. And that’s whether or not it’s massive sanctions or massive tariffs or both. Or do we do nothing and say, It’s your fight’?”
CNN White House reporter Alayna Treene asked, “Are you saying that’s a real possibility, then, that you do nothing if Putin doesn’t come to the table for a ceasefire?
“I’ll see whose fault it is,” the president responded. “If there are reasons why, I’ll understand that. I know exactly what I’m doing. We’re gonna see whether or not they have a meeting. That’ll be interesting to see. And if they don’t, why didn’t they have a meeting? Because I told them to have a meeting. But I’ll know in two weeks what I’m gonna do.”
