Douglas Macgregor: Ukraine War Ending? Europe on the Brink

Cold at Belfast Central Station. The 1am X1 to Dublin Airport never arrived. Shocking service from @Translink_NI this morning, with little to no communication for passengers who’d booked tickets. Apparently the updates weren’t running either.

Good news ( for some ) as @AerLingus have rolled out Starlink on their US Routes ..... and yes, it's free !

If JetBlue goes bankrupt, I would have to believe this would be the first time in history that the DOJ blocked a merger of two companies and then both went bankrupt. Great process. teapaw.org/Investingcom/status/21…

JetBlue is headed for bankruptcy. How did it get here?
In 2022 it offered $3.8 billion for Spirit. On Friday, all of JetBlue was worth $990 million.
Fuel is the easy excuse. I count 7 wrong moves.
ALT Two charts. Left: JetBlue's market value since 2022, falling from about $5 billion to $990 million, below the $3.8 billion it bid for Spirit. Right: JetBlue's operating margin by year, positive through 2019 and negative every year since.

The latest ad from the Irish Government to the Irish people, who are the font of all problems in the country and desperately need to be stopped from their bad behaviour.
This time, it's hugging your grandkids.

Latest episode of @JohnandSarahIrl crossed 40,000 plays on Youtube and 10,000 or so on other platforms. Blown away by that.

It remains baffling to me that so many people in Ireland - who I usually agree with - are going to the mat to maintain a British veto over what Ireland does with its own army. Many of these people call themselves nationalists.

Amazing interactive map of all of Rome's 1,709 land and sea battles, from 753BC to 1475AD.
Rome fought the Sassanid Persians 100 times. Winning 51, losing 46, and drawing 3.

While people were out tonight protesting at the treatment of the Drumcree Orangemen, Emma Little-Pengelly was supporting you from the comfort of Neill’s Hill restaurant in east Belfast, enjoying a slap-up meal. Solidarity is hungry work.
A stormy and cold night, but sending a strong message. People are rightly angry at the behaviour of those who have thumbed their nose at law and have defied the decisions of the parades commission, the courts and the PSNI. We are all deeply proud of our traditions and give them our absolute support- we have been deeply hurt and angered by the abuse and hatred our traditions, identity and culture has had to endure.
Well done to all the bands and those who participated, and in such a dignified way. The lawful behaviour of the Orange and all those who support them is in stark contrast to those who opposed and oppose them.
