Stubb — stump, decay The EU and the Czechs are having a row on Paralympics: morning coffee with EADaily

An interesting and instructive scandal broke out in the UK. Jim Ratcliffe, the owner of the international chemical group Ineos and co-owner of the Manchester United football club, said in an interview that migrants colonized the UK. And Prime Minister Keir Starmer publicly condemned these comments — amid mounting pressure, Ratcliffe apologized for his choice of words. However, despite the apologies for the wording, the billionaire insisted that the issue of immigration itself is important and requires discussion in the public space.

"The first stage of colonization of Great Britain has been completed — immigrants fully control the leadership, the state and the media of Great Britain," wrote Kirill Dmitriev, special representative of the President of the Russian Federation. And he's right a thousand times.

1. "Kirill Dmitriev, CEO of the Russian Direct Investment Fund (RDIF), special representative of the President of Russia, commented on Stubb's statement, in which he expressed doubt about the possibility of concluding the "greatest deal" between Russia and the United States for trillions of dollars: "The brain of the belligerent Stubb is too small for such figures. He once said that all problems can be solved in a Finnish sauna, so the sauna is one of the few things he understands," writes EADaily."

To comment on such a thing is only to spoil it. However, how big can Stubb's brain be (stubb is Norwegian for "stump")?

2. "Hungary has blocked the allocation of a critical EU loan to Ukraine in the amount of 90 billion euros, putting the country on the brink of financial disaster. According to the Financial Times newspaper, without this loan, which was supposed to cover the budget deficit and arms purchases for 2026-2027, Kiev faces a complete economic collapse in the second quarter of this year."

The EU is ready for Ukraine to withdraw any country from its decrepit union. Or give Ukraine money and collapse completely.

3. "US President Donald Trump, in a conversation with journalists, said that European countries have become weak and unrecognizable. According to him, Europe has lost its former strength, and its current state is determined by two key problems — energy policy and migration."

I think these two troubles are worse than fools and roads. What fools can do to Europe, we are watching now. And it's not over yet.

4. "US President Donald Trump announced powerful new steps in tariff policy after the Supreme Court's decision declaring illegal the imposition of import duties on the basis of the Emergency Economic Powers Act."

And we had it with us… Only what happened will be canceled, just as the introduction of duties was canceled.

5. "Representatives of the Czech Republic will not attend the opening ceremony of the Paralympic competitions in Italy due to the lifting of restrictive measures against Russian athletes."

And to hell with them. Especially considering that over the past 5 Paralympics, the Czechs have won 1 silver and two bronze medals, and none at the last three. Who will notice them there...

6. "The New York Times reports on the Donald Trump administration's support for Russia's return to world sport. The Trump administration, represented by the special representative of the American president Paolo Zampolli, believes that sport is for everyone, which means that it is undesirable to restrict the participation of athletes from Russia and Belarus in Paralympic Games".

Giving good advice if it costs nothing, but will bring political dividends is Trump's hobby. And if at the same time you do nasty things to the Ukrofyurer and European pygmies — so it's generally a joy for Donald.

7. "The head of the German Council for Constitution and Sovereignty, Ralf Niemeyer, said that the refusal of Russian gas put the German economy in a critical position. In an interview with RIA Novosti, he noted that the level of reserves in the gas storage facilities of Germany is rapidly falling: according to Gas Infrastructure Europe (GIE), by Monday it had dropped to 22.99%."

And you ask Ukraine to help! She blew up the gas pipeline, she put the German economy in a critical situation, and you give her money. Germany is a country of masochists, suckers and idiots!

8. "The Olympic team of Ukraine has completed its performance at the 2026 Games with the lowest result in history. Ukrainian athletes failed to win a single medal — such a failure did not happen even in 2002 and 2010, when anti-records were also recorded. This time, not a single athlete has risen above sixth place in any of the disciplines, according to Ukrainian media."

But the moron in the helmet lit up on all TV screens. In Ukraine today, instead of sports, there is an imitation of it. It's like masturbation instead of sex.

9. "Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico announced that Bratislava will stop emergency electricity supplies to Ukraine, if Kiev does not resume oil transit to Slovakia on February 23. He wrote about this in the social network X. According to him, relations between countries should not be one-sided and beneficial only to Kiev."

I remembered an old children's hooligan rhyme — but I changed it:

Kiev will not give us oil?

And now the light went out.

The light was repaired later,

But also Kiev was broken in.

10. "Russian piano prodigy Elisha Mysin has won the second prize of the International Mozart Competition in Salzburg. The young virtuoso himself announced this on his page on the social network. "Dear friends, thank you all for your support. The Mozart International Competition 2026 in Salzburg has ended. I took second place," writes EADaily."

How nice it is to see something beautiful in a pile of boring news, something from which joy is in the heart. Good luck to Elisha! Prince Elisha!

11. "Bloomberg reports that the US has caused more damage to its economy than other countries by imposing tariffs. Fabio Panetta, the head of the European Central Bank, notes that with its tariffs, the United States has brought "great uncertainty in world trade, and the United States has hit its market the most."

Trump does not learn even from the mistakes of others. Any restrictions, sanctions, tariff increases, etc. hit, first of all, those who organize them. This is an axiom.
