The big question for a lot of Americans is "will Trump end the war or will it last longer than Trump's 2nd term?" And "will Trump's 2nd term ever end?"

Well, I didn't know this. It hadn't crossed my mind that Ukraine would be involved in Syria.


Interesting. It's been news recently IIRC that Ukraine's drone manufacturing business has started exporting too. That strikes me as odd, but I've read it (somewhere 😉).
Here's an old article about Ukraine involvement in Syria and Africa. Not sure if I believe it myself.

Yesterday's digest from Jake Broe.

It includes a hard watch about the Sednaya prison, including an alleged 100,000 people still trapped underground.
He also covers Russian destabilisation in Africa, Venezuela etc, promoting refugee crises around the world.

An interesting takeaway:

'Putin's closest ally in the Middle East was just ousted. Purin did not "escalate" to try to save him. He didn't use a nuclear weapon. He didn't even fight.
He just retreated'.


A really good update, thanks. Lots of direct and indirect positives for Ukraine 🤞🏻.
I'd have thought they'd use explosives on the Sednaya prison access...not that easy apparently. Shocking stuff.

Think they would be concerned any explosives might harm the people inside.

It's like watching a PL manager on his way out. Bags under his eyes are getting larger - probably because he's
boozing like anything; putting on weight because he's binge eating shit.........fat boy Putin is on his way out..

It's bloody marvellous to watch.

Have you got any photos or recent footage of him?

Sanctions' effects.


Russian newspapers reporting today that the price of potatoes has increased by circa 80% this year and butter ~30%. Press coverage of Syria is also negative in some media, describing it as a “blow” to Russia. Does this ‘bad news’ coverage indicate that the Kremlin is losing control of the media? - or maybe the media simply can’t hide the obvious.

Probably a rumour coming from Russia
Why oh why Ukraine would be exporting weapons is completely beyond me.
Unless their manufacturing capacity is now quicker than the ability to train operators.
But surely every weapon at their disposal would be used to save Ukrainians not Syrians.
The other option, I suppose, is to attempt to draw Russian weaponry away from the front line 🤷🏻‍♂️

But still very difficult to believe.

Yes, those were my thoughts too 👍, hard to believe anything else.
