I see Khan has accused Trump of being racist, sexist and Islamapobic. Let's hope the Donald sues him for defamation.

NATO at War With Russia, Kremlin Says
Published Sep 15, 2025 at 6:20 AM EDT
NATO is "at war with Russia" over Ukraine, the spokesman for Russian President Vladimir President has said.The comments by Dmitry Peskov come amid a spike in tensions between the alliance and Moscow following Poland's shooting down of Russian drones that entered the alliance member's airspace last week.Polish Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski said at the time that the drone incursion was a ploy by Russia to test the alliance.Peskov said Monday it was "obvious" the alliance was "de facto involved in this war." Newsweek has contacted NATO for comment.
Why It Matters
NATO has not directly entered the war, nor are its troops deployed to fight, but Peskov's comments echo those made by the Kremlin and its supporters who refer to the assistance Kyiv has received from NATO allies, including the U.S.His comments highlight the friction between Moscow and NATO as concerns grow Russia is testing the alliance's resolve, with tensions heightened further after Romania said it had to deploy fighter jets in response to another incursion of its air space.
What To Know
Peskov suggested that a "de facto" war between Moscow and NATO was underway
Warsaw has triggered NATO's Article 4, alerting fellow allies to a significant threat to its territorial integrity and formally starting consultations on how to respond, in response to the recent Russian drone incursion into Poland—which Moscow says lacks evidence.This step is less severe than invoking Article 5 which obliges allies to collective defense if one of them comes under armed attack.
But on the heels of the alarm raised by that incident, another NATO member, Romania, scrambled F-16 fighter jets on Saturday after a Russian drone breached its airspace, which has become a frequent occurrence in the war.The Russian ambassador to Bucharest was summoned over the "violation of Romania's sovereignty", said Romanian foreign minister Oana Toiu.The UK Foreign Office said on Monday the Russian ambassador to London had been summoned following Moscow's "unprecedented violation" of Polish and Romanian airspace, describing the incursions as "utterly unacceptable."
Meanwhile, Lithuania and Poland have deployed extra troops along their borders in response to the joint military drills between Belarus and Russia— the so-called Zapad-2025 war games—that began on Friday.Poland's foreign minister Sikorski said Russia had tried to test NATO's reactions by small escalations without prompting a full-scale response.Michael Butler, political science professor at Clark University, told Newsweek the deployment of Russian drones into Poland's airspace was the opening salvo of a new front in Moscow's ongoing hybrid war against the West.
He said the use of drones and disinformation were designed to probe Poland's potential security vulnerabilities while simultaneously buffeting the country with confusing and false reports about the strike and its effects via social media.What People Are Saying
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said, per Russian state media:
"NATO is at war with Russia. This is obvious, and it does not require any additional evidence."He added: "NATO provides direct and indirect support to the Kyiv regime.
"Michael Butler, professor and chair of the Department of Political Science at Clark University, told Newsweek:
"The synchronized use of drones and disinformation were clearly designed to probe Poland's potential security vulnerabilities...the brazen use of these tactics against Poland should sound alarm bells for NATO and the U.S."
What Happens Next
NATO has said it would deploy more jets to the alliance's eastern flank to protect against future drone attacks but the expectation among the bloc will be that further devices will enter its territory, which could further inflame tensions.

Bomb shelters won't protect against Russian arsenal — Medvedev
"The Americans should remember this, too," the Russian politician stated

September 25. /TASS/.
Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedev, firing back at Vladimir Zelensky, warned that if Russia unleashes the fury of its weapons arsenal, it won't do any good to hide in a bomb shelter."The junkie in Kiev said that the Kremlin needs to know where the bomb shelter is so they can hide when he uses long-range American weapons. What that freak needs to understand is this: Russia has weapons that no bomb shelter can protect against. The Americans should remember this, too," Medvedev wrote on his Max channel.

Funny how we saw little of the protests aimed at Starmer towards the gormless cսnt Boris Johnson.
Cos he was a right laugh wasn’t he?
Is Farage simply not vocalising what the population (voters) actually want for their (THEIR) country, rather than condescendingly telling them what they should want?
Is that not what democracy is all about?

Well its a fucked up world that's for sure! On the one hand Trump and MAGA are happy that the likes of YouTube will stop censoring a load of people for views the Biden administration saw as "dangerous" and unacceptable supposedly under Biden’s orders. Yet Trump wants a crackdown on any media or person critical of him???
Also, highly amusing that some left seem to think Bidens Nanny state bans should stay if the Science is overwhelmingly proof that said "conspiracy" is bollocks, flat earth, vaccines etc YET when its pointed out that Men 100% can't get pregnant and have baby's, they are against it as Men can in fact have baby's
according to your average non binary pronoun loving LGBTQI type

Thanks Dr Trump
All with the lunatic heroin addict Kennedy as his Medical Secretary
The man who thinks we shouldn’t trust any experts & previously dumped a dead bear cub in Central Park
Trump appears to have found every swivel eyed God bothering loony and put them in his cabinet
Beyond parody
