russian drones are crossing EU borders at an increasing rate. This one is physical proof that russia is attacking not only Ukraine but also European countries.

I don't think Putin can afford to admit that the war hasn't been a mistake&stop the war he cannot win.This’ll mean the end of his power.He needs a war that lasts- lasts until the end of his life

Is Putin ready to stop the war?That is the wrong question
The right question is:Can Putin stop the war?⤵️

If Putin needs Russia's war to last for his lifetime, we all need to hope that's not long.

Putin has planted Quislings in just about every European capital, Boris Johnson and Nigel Farage in the UK, for example. And of course, the biggest of them all: Donald Trump.

Russia, which is referred to as a 'gas station,' stands in lines for gas and exports it from Belarus and China.

Lithuanian National Defence Minister Dovilė Šakalienė:

For Russia,strategic dilemmas are its tools,its weapons…Until Russia feels that it will suffer consequences of its war of aggression that would impair its ability to expand its military power, everything else is just talk.

The Russian submarine Novorossiysk, an Improved Kilo-class vessel, has been forced to limp home to the Baltic after a mechanical failure in the Mediterranean. While some reports exaggerated its plight...

Now imagine what happens if Oswald Farage in charge of 🇬🇧 foreign policy - because looking around at collective stupidity of centre/left people in UK, he will be in 3 1/2 years.

The UK and Canada will join the EU in a plan to use part of the nearly $300 billion in frozen Russian central bank assets held by G7 nations to boost financial support for Ukraine. The mechanism would allow issuing loans without formally seizing the assets, securing long-term financing for Ukraine.

“Are there too many blokes around Keir Starmer?”

“We need to have a bit of a cultural reset...”

Deputy Leader candidate Lucy Powell tells @vicderbyshire.bsky.social that Labour should avoid a “narrower and narrower group of people at the top of the party who then groupthink.”

Keir Starmer calling Kemi Badenoch's bluff over the China spy case in PMQs: she's made serious allegations, govt clearly thinks she can't stand them up, & so far the vibe is fairly 'person on X who doesn't know the law, arguing with a lawyer'

Rather than "slowly undoing some of that damage" the government’s response should be to move ambitiously to rapidly undo ALL of the Brexit damage.

#Brexit has failed.

It's time to prepare and plan seriously to rejoin the EU.

Exactly. Particularly since Tories will have put Jenrick in charge by next GE - who's already committed to electoral pact with Oswald Farage. Meanwhile the rest of us have 4 (5 in Scotland & Wales) squabbling centre/left parties to split our vote. ReformaTory will steamroller us & we'll deserve it.

15%? Come back when you've persuaded residents of Boston & Skegness - where 90% of homes likely to flood - to vote for you instead of Farage's Climate Disaster party & we"ll think about it. But right now, Greens' ability to talk to working class people is so dire they prefer to vote for the floods.

Towns may have to be abandoned due to floods with millions more homes in Great Britain at risk

The ATESH resistance group says the sabotage on the Kupiansk front left the vehicle useless and hurt the occupiers’ morale.

America has beautiful ideas and dreams. But before it can make them real, it has to deal with the fact that it was founded by white people who believed God sent them to kill anyone different and take their land. Such actions have consequences and lock us into patterns of behaviour.
