Briefly Noted: The Truss Ministry
The real big question is, is the next coup—er, regime change—slated for the US? More on that later. Meanwhile Putin seems secure in power.
Reactions—incoming:
Old enough to remember being told that Putin's days were numbered. Meanwhile, the UK is on its third leader since the start of the Ukraine war.

Brutal.
Oh my. More Brutality. From Moon via the UK Daily Star:

Asked about the surge of the right-wing political opposition, [von der Leyen, She Who Must Be Obeyed] threatened “we will see the result of the vote in Italy. If things go in a difficult direction — and I’ve spoken about Hungary and Poland — we have the tools.”
Apparently the UK didn't get the message that this applied to them, too? Will Italy somehow be forewarned and thus forearmed? The US is threatening Turkey today re its ties with Turkey. With total political and economic chaos threatening in most of the West, the Neocons are pressing onward. Turkey, Saudis, who's next?
