Will there be a famine in Russia because farmers have no fuel for their machinery and no fertiliser either, as it is produced from natural gas?

AkaSci 🛰️trump lashes out at Italian PM Giorgia Meloni again, throwing in some excuses for his offensive behavior.
As many have said before, trump's anger, pettiness and vendetta is partly driven by a host of grievances against people who have snubbed him over the years. He thinks he is the smartest person on the planet, while most treat him like an idiot.

Jonathan Pie (Tom Walker) and his incisive commentary -
"This war was a success in the same way that paying $14 million to have large chunks of blue paint floating in an algae-infested reflecting pool was money well spent.
Most of Trump's posts on Truth Social around the conflict have sounded less like the leader of the free world and more like a 14-year-old boy who's the only one left in the class not to have fingered anyone."
Trump The Peacemaker
The reflection pool was given a thick coat of rolled-on epoxy. Anyone with even a modicum of knowledge on the subject would have told him straight away that the algae would return in no time and that only water circulation really helps to prevent it. But, like Hitler, he disregarded all expert opinion, and so – as with almost everything Trump does – the American people have suffered as a result.
"Iranian negotiators have suspended high-stakes talks with the US in Switzerland in protest at a stream of threats issued by Trump to bomb Iran, and even to kidnap the Iranian negotiating team unless the strait of Hormuz is reopened.
It was not clear if the Iran walkout was permanent or a symbolic show of protest."

@AkaSci It’s a long-term thing and just his usual behaviour.
Mother BonesIn actual news today, Iran has closed the Strait of Hormuz again despite the US claiming it's open, and there have been five injured in Edinburgh in suspected anti-Muslim attacks.
The ceasefire in Gaza is nothing but a fake. The war is continuing unabated, but many people aren't aware of it.
Trump always announces a ceasefire around the weekend. I believed this was the case again, and that he assumes it will barely hold anyway, because Israel doesn't stick to it. That's just his usual little game, and by now Iran has seen through it too and no longer plays along. It's probably just one of his typical ploys to calm the stock markets.
