.. as many nations have banned the car in protest. 

That..simply didn't happen.

The only problem for Tesla is the Cybertruck which is not certified in almost all European contries due to various legal and technical "No-No"s.

And Trump is now saying boycotts of tesla are illegal. And he’s gojng to buy one.

I swear during his campaign he was vehemently against electric cars, probably calling them ‘woke’ at some point as well. He does know how to flip-flop.

He filmed an ad on the White House lawn for Tesla.

As for his base, they love Elon for being a POS, but they still despise electric vehicles. Meanwhile, Texas - the state where Elon moved when he decided he didn't like California's rules, mind you - throws up every kind of administrative and financial roadblock to the cars he makes and sells that they think they can get away with. Unfortunately for him, California - which was overwhelmingly the largest US customer base for Tesla vehicles until recently - got tired of Elon shitting all over them and stopped buying his crap.

Case in point, America is rewarding Russia for the war and making Ukraine surrender everything.

❗️US rules out Ukraine returning to 2014 or even 2022 borders — Sky News

US officials have said they “don’t want to hear” about any requests from Ukraine to return the country’s borders to 2014 or 2022 positions.

Good message to all enemies of America, steal any territory you like, America won't make you to surrender it.

At this point, I think it's more likely Trump gives Russia back Alaska than helping Ukraine recover their territory

Hungary begs Ukraine to spare Russian oil pipelines after drone strike cuts off flow

Zelensky must be smiling at this

He could use this as a bargaining chip: Don't block any support packages from the EU anymore and we'll keep the pipelines open.

What happened to Kellogg? Possibly a bit too positive on Ukraine when he visited Kyiv and the front line. Kellogg has likely been removed from negotiations on Russia’s war against Ukraine.

Hi All, just sent out a post on what looks like the real Trump-Putin plan for Ukraine. It’s the Cease-Fire/Election gambit, through which they hope to get Zelensky out of power (and keep Zaluzhny out), and instead put one of their patsies in charge. open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

The parallels to the ME are simply incredible

"What is important for us is not a ceasefire that will allow Ukraine to arm itself again and again and direct weapons at our country, but a long-term, sustainable peace based on eliminating the root causes of the conflict"

Exactly the same Israel says about Lebanon (Hezbollah), Syria and Gaza Hamas.

And that root cause for them is stubborn people that live in the way and won't accept being oppressed.

Ukraine should not accept a 30 day ceasefire brokered by the US, or they'll end up like Lebanon and Syria. US brokered ceasefires only lead to annexations and losing the right to defend yourself against further incursions.
