@David_Ornside As a Manchester United fan, I'd be content with just number 2. But I'd be glad to see them getting deducted enough points to go down to the Championship and get a 3 season transfer ban. No financial penalty necessary, that won't hurt them.

@SimplyUtd @indykaila They're losing Casimiro and their first bid is for Maxi??

[Ivo Vaz 🇪🇺 @EU_Federalist]

@FabrizioRomano What about Elliott Anderson?? That's what matters.

[Ivo Vaz 🇪🇺 @EU_Federalist]

@KingReal8utd @SimplyUtd @FabrizioRomano They'll sign 1 "ok" midfielder and overpay for him because they didn't want to overpay for an actually world class player, they'll buy a winger with amazing pace but with no finishing product, and they'll scramble close to deadline day to sign another "promising" midfielder 😂

No debate das presidenciais na rádio os candidatos disseram que "tem de haver um acordo de paz que assegure que a Russia respeite a integridade territorial da Ucrânia"...

Alguém que os conte a história dos Acordos de Budapest de 1994...

For the blind Hungarian officials. Exact route of yesterday’s drone incursion from Hungary into Ukrainian air space. Our Armed Forces have gathered all of the necessary evidence, and we are still waiting for Hungary to explain what this object did in our airspace.

@EmilSutovsky I didn't even know you existed until I saw Levy's video. Lol.

[Ivo Vaz 🇪🇺 @EU_Federalist]

@EmilSutovsky I'm here because I saw Levy's video. If it were not for content creators like Levy, Naroditsky, Hanging Pawns, Cramling, Boatez etc. I would never have started playing chess or be interested in following tournaments and being a fan of (or knowing) different players.

JUST IN: The SBU of Ukraine says they hit or damaged 34% of Russia’s strategic cruise missile carriers in this operation.

Russia operates roughly 120 bombers capable of carrying cruise missiles, including Tu-95MS, Tu-22M3, and Tu-160 models.

So, about 40 of these aircraft were affected in the strike according to the SBU.

The very fact that Europe’s initial reaction to Trump’s tariff policies is to organize a summit with China, while discussing the removal of tariffs on Chinese EVs that will devastate the European automobile industry, speaks volumes about how detached our political and bureaucratic elites have become from reality. Instead of launching an urgent collective mission to Washington, or at the very least convening an ad hoc EU summit to engage directly with Trump and protect the interests of European citizens and industries, we are witnessing Spain’s Prime Minister Sánchez make his third visit to China.
Driven by petty egos and an absurd desire to appear “tough” amid the gravest systemic threats and risks on the old continent - an enduring conventional war in Ukraine and a non-conventional war against Europe’s security order - these elites seem more interested in punishing Trump for being Trump than in delivering real solutions. They would rather play to the public’s emotions - rage, disappointment, confusion - than demonstrate ruthless pragmatism and rise above their own shadows, even once in their careers, to do what is best for Europe.

Let me be clear: the so-called “de-risking” approach to China is now mutating into a “re-risking” strategy. It is deepening Europe’s dependencies and exposing even greater vulnerabilities - potentially with more catastrophic consequences than the infamous „Wandel durch Handel“ policy toward Russia. That, too, was a „brilliant“ German/EU invention, aimed at engagement and pacification of a great power. We all saw how that ended.

In the end, this is not only a fundamentally flawed approach to China - it’s also strategically incoherent. It will do absolutely nothing to change Trump’s calculus. He will simply engage with Xi directly, bypassing Europe altogether. Worse still, by aligning with China in this critical moment, Europe is effectively siding with the Dragonbear alliance in the midst of Cold War 2 with America. It is not just misguided - it is dangerously self-defeating.

Vatican was excluded from the 20% tariffs, imposed by the US on the EU. It would take one schemy bishop, and italians could do something interesting here...
Just saying, you know?

If there's a bottleneck in the buying market, the only possible thing that will happen will be inflation in the rental market because it's the only other market in housing and housing is simply an essential part of life that everyone needs!

This was a conspiracy I was convinced about ever since I understood competition law and collusion. There's NO WAY landlords and private investors wouldn't have taken advantage of both the 2008 subprime crisis + the pandemic to create bottlenecks in the rental market.
