Biden nennt Putin einen „durchgeknallten Mistkerl“

FRANKFURTER ALLGEMEINE: Der US-Präsident ist dafür bekannt, öfter mal zu fluchen. Wenn es um Kremlchef Putin geht, hält Biden sich mit seiner Wortwahl nicht zurück.

US-Präsident Joe Biden hat das russische Staatsoberhaupt Wladimir Putin einen „durchgeknallten Mistkerl“ genannt. Bei einem Treffen mit Spendern der Demokratischen Partei in San Francisco sagte Biden, der Klimawandel sei trotz des „durchgeknallten Mistkerls Putin“ die „existenzielle Bedrohung für die Menschheit“. Auf Englisch benutzte der Präsident die Ausdrucksweise „SOB“, kurz für die Beleidigung „son of a bitch“ (wörtlich: Sohn einer Hündin), was im Deutschen etwa mit „Mistkerl“, „Arschloch“ oder gar „Hurensohn“ übersetzt werden kann. » | Quelle: AFP | Donnerstag, 22.

Britain’s ‘Deep State’ Thwarted My Plans, Liz Truss Tells US Far-right Summit

THE GUARDIAN: Former Conservative PM, whose tenure lasted 50 days, tells CPAC she fell victim to UK’s ‘establishment … its bureaucrats and lawyers’

Liz Truss, the former British prime minister, spoke at a far-right conference in America on Wednesday, styling herself as a populist who took on America’s equivalent of the “deep state” in her own country.

Truss was among the headline speakers at this week’s Conservative Political Action Conference at the National Harbor in Maryland. CPAC is billed as the biggest annual gathering of conservatives in the US but has in recent years embraced Donald Trump’s brand of nativist-populism.

In Wednesday’s opening session, an “international summit”, the ex-PM sat side by side with Nigel Farage, former leader of the Brexit party, both with small union flags on the table in front of them. » | David Smith in Oxon Hill, Maryland | Thursday, February 22, 2024

THE TELEGRAPH: The monarch has been photographed meeting Rishi Sunak for their first official audience of the year

The King has said the messages and cards he has received since his cancer diagnosis have reduced him to tears, as he returns to his audiences with the Prime Minister for the first time this year.

The King told Rishi Sunak: “I’ve had so many messages and cards, you can’t believe it. They’ve reduced me to tears, most of them.”

Told by the Prime Minister that it was “wonderful to see you looking so well”, the King joked it was “all done by mirrors”.

Photographs and filmed footage of the first minute of the Buckingham Palace audience, which is traditionally held privately, show the King appearing to be in good health, if a little croaky in voice.

Usually, the meeting is held entirely in private, but the King and his aides are mindful of the public’s interest in his health as he undergoes treatment for cancer. » | Hannah Furness | Wednesday, February 21, 2024 [£]

How Georgia's National Dish Khachapuri Is Made | DW Food

Nov 18, 2023 | You know pizza, right? But have you heard of khachapuri? This cheese-filled bread is a national treasure for Georgians and one of their national dishes. They eat it at any time: for breakfast, lunch or dinner. You could say that khachapuri is the Georgian version of pizza, but even more versatile, as it comes in 47 different varieties. For example, there is the boat-shaped Adzharian khachapuri, the version from Imereti, which is round and flat and topped with cheese. And Achma khachapuri has several layers, similar to a lasagne. Each type is typical of a particular region. In this video, we show you how ajarian khachaouri is made.

‘Putin Will Spark a Third World War If Russia Claims Victory in Ukraine’

THE TELEGRAPH: Ukrainian steel magnate Yuriy Ryzhenkov warns of global fallout from the Kremlin’s war

Vladimir Putin will spark a third world war if the Russian president is allowed to declare victory in Ukraine, according to the boss of the country’s biggest private employer.

Yuriy Ryzhenkov, chief executive of Metinvest, which ran the sprawling Azovstal steelworks that became the site of a relentless Russian assault at the start of the 2022 invasion, warned of the consequences of a Kremlin victory.

“I don’t believe that if Ukraine fails, Putin will stop,” he said in an interview ahead of the two year anniversary of the war in Ukraine. “The Baltic states, Poland, Romania, Hungary, Slovakia are the next targets.”

Ryzhenkov’s comments were made just days before Putin threatened the US with a global war that will “bring humanity to the brink” if Capitol Hill deploys troops to Ukraine. » | Szu Ping Chan |Wednesday, February 21, 2024 [£]

Jon Danzig: A Vote for Brexit Was a Vote for Putin

Putin’s fingerprints are all over Brexit. There’s been suspicions of this for some time, but the evidence is now compelling and urgently needs proper investigation.

Motive is the key incentive for any crime. There have never been any benefits for Britain doing Brexit. Not even one. Any apparent motive for leaving the EU was based on a pack of astonishing, outrageous lies.

But the benefits to Russia from Brexit are both clear and enormous.

For almost two decades, Putin has harboured antagonism over the loss of the Soviet empire, to be successfully replaced by the enlargement of the EU, encroaching on what he considered to be Russian territory.

In 2005 he declared: “the collapse of the Soviet Union was a major geopolitical disaster”

Putin has used covert techniques to destabilise the European Union in his imperial goal to create a new Russian empire, starting with his invasions of Ukraine.

A win for ‘Leave’ was all part of that agenda.

The lies that led to Brexit, in part fuelled and funded by Putin, were compelling, convincing, and used the powerful techniques of psychological warfare.

All of us were misled. But now Britain and Britons must decide where we stand and which side we support.

Our political elite allowed our country to become a stooge for Putin’s nefarious intentions, with absolutely no benefits to us.

But the reality is that it’s the EU we should be supporting, not Putin. The EU stands for what Britain and Britons really stand for and have always stood for.

We must support the EU project and start our journey – however long it takes – to rejoining our true family in Europe.
