A fiery Scot with a Dutch twist, passionately cheers for Ukraine and bikes.

Some places are more than just a club and you really can’t understand the magnitude till you’ve lived it ❤️

Rangers was the place our children fell in love with football. The songs, the match days, the derby days, the penalty saves.

Please can everyone STOP sharing this post.

1. It is enraging the russians who sought to get my post taken down.

2. It's giving the original post WAY more visibility.

[Richard Woodruff 🇺🇦 @frontlinekit]

I've clearly upset some russians, and now they are all mass reporting my account 😅

Did I go too far guys? 🔥🔥🔥

BREAKING. All hell breaks loose between Donald Trump and Giorgia Meloni. 🇮🇹 🇺🇸

Trump told La7 tv that apparently “Meloni begged to have a picture with me at the G7, I felt sorry for her”.

Meloni’s scathing response: “I am shocked by Trump’s utterly fabricated words. I am sorry he doesn’t show the same determination against the enemies of the West. And bear in mind: me and Italy never beg”.

What a time to be alive.

@nexta_tv @Mac83105884 So this is two things: 1, he is using it as a pathetic distraction method. Thinking that Ukraine will lower their guard. Or 2, he knows putler is about to fall and is sucking up to Ukraine.

@Acyn Unfortunately it doesn’t matter if he falls asleep, lies, rapes children, steals money, praises dictators, helps dictators, destroys historic buildings, rapes children, disrespects everyone. The U.S. is such a shitshow circus that nothing will ever get done about him.

Every sign at this refinery in Ireland is in russian. The official website is a .RU domain.

There’s no reason to hide it because local politicians are openly doing it for them.

@TheBestqueenx This happened to my ex brother in law also. He was leading a half marathon but turned the wrong way with 1km to the finish. He’d led from the start but ended up 3rd. 😩

The Netherlands Just Told America to Get Its Greasy McDonald’s Fingers Off Their Data

The Dutch government has blocked American IT giant Kyndryl from buying Solvinity, the cloud provider behind DigiD, the system every Dutch citizen uses to access their taxes, medical records and pension information. Washington responded with a formal statement expressing “disappointment.”

The Dutch public responded rather differently.

“You have been spitting in our faces for 1.5 years. Did you think that came without consequences?”

“Fuck off yanks.”

“Get lost.”

“Cry all you want.” And, in what may be the most perfectly constructed sentence in the history of transatlantic diplomacy:

“We don’t want your greasy McDonald’s fingers on our data.”

These are not the words of people who feel they have been heard.

The U.S. Embassy invoked “shared prosperity,” “mutual reliance,” and “co-creation.” The Dutch, a nation historically not known for mincing words, heard all of that and collectively said: mate, you threatened to invade Greenland. You pulled troops. You voted with Russia at the UN. You tried to meddle in our elections. You slapped us with tariffs while calling us partners. At what point exactly were we supposed to keep nodding along?

One commenter summed up the root cause with surgical precision: “The reason is one orange clown you voted into office.”

And here is the thing. This is not just a Dutch problem. Canada is buying Swedish fighter jets. Europe is building its own defence industry at speed. Country after country is quietly but very deliberately reducing its exposure to American infrastructure, American platforms and American goodwill, because American goodwill has turned out to be a subscription service that cancels without notice.

The Embassy called it disappointing.

“AND YOU STILL DARE TO OPEN YOUR MOUTH…”

Sasha Legerman: This is too accurate not to share.

This Australian’s response to Trump’s rant that “NATO does nothing for America” is absolutely devastating:

“Mate. You run a country where 600,000 homeless people will sleep on the streets tonight.

A country where 40% of adults can’t cover a $400 emergency without borrowing money.

A country where insulin costs more than a car payment, and people ration it just to stay alive.

A country where medical debt is the number one cause of bankruptcy.

A country where women die in hospital parking lots because doctors are too afraid of abortion laws to treat miscarriages.

You imprison more of your own citizens than any country on Earth.
More than China. More than Russia. More than North Korea.

In the land of the free, 2 million people sit in cages, and a quarter of them haven’t even been convicted of anything.
They’re simply too poor to afford bail.

Your life expectancy is declining. You’re the only developed nation where that’s happening.

Your infant mortality rate is worse than Cuba’s.

Your children practice active shooter drills between math and English classes while you sell defense stocks to your friends.

Your minimum wage hasn’t changed in 15 years.

Your teachers work two jobs, your veterans sleep under bridges, and you just spent a trillion dollars flattening a country that never attacked you.

And now a convicted criminal — found liable for sexual abuse, defending a pedophile, sleeping with a porn star, and running the biggest dumpster-fire campaign since the Taliban — is thanking you for yet another disaster.

And you call Greenland badly governed?

Greenland has universal healthcare. Free education. One of the lowest incarceration rates in the world.
Nobody there goes bankrupt because they got sick. Nobody dies in a waiting room because insurance refused treatment.

‘NATO wasn’t there when we needed them.’

When exactly was that, champ?
September 11?

Because NATO invoked Article 5 for the first and only time in history FOR YOU.

Soldiers from dozens of countries deployed, fought, bled, and died in Afghanistan FOR YOU.

Australia wasn’t even in NATO, and we still showed up. For twenty years.

And then you left at 2 a.m. without telling anyone and left everybody else to clean up the mess.

You don’t care that a great nation is being terrorized by your friend, and you haven’t shown it a single ounce of sympathy.

So maybe before calling other countries badly governed, take a look at your own backyard, you aluminum siding salesman with a spray tan.

The only thing badly managed in this picture is your damn mouth.

And you still dare to lecture the rest of the world?”
