Eddie Murphy returns with 80s-style un-PC jokes, saves SNL from Trump flop

Uncategorized

Eddie Murphy returns with 80s-style un-PC jokes, saves SNL from Trump flop Amid faltering ratings and an overreliance on ‘orange man bad’ Trump jokes, Saturday Night Live turned the clock back to the 1980s, welcoming Eddie Murphy’s menagerie of non-PC characters for its best show in a decade.

US has ‘no more excuses’ to avoid New START Treaty discussion as Russia is ready to renew it immediately – Russia’s FM Lavrov

Uncategorized

US has ‘no more excuses’ to avoid New START Treaty discussion as Russia is ready to renew it immediately – Russia’s FM Lavrov Moscow has made it clear that it is ready to extend the landmark 2010 treaty aimed at reducing US and Russian nuclear arsenals at any time, leaving Washington with no excuse to obstruct its renewal, Russian FM Sergey Lavrov said.

Nord Stream 2 will be completed regardless of threats from US, as Europeans ‘feel humiliated’ – FM Lavrov The flagship pipeline which is set to deliver gas to Europe will be completed despite US sanctions, Russia’s foreign minister stated. EU stakeholders understand their commercial interests, he said.

The pipeline “will come true anyway, despite all these threats,” as will the TurkStream – another project on the radar of US lawmakers – he added.
