The arrest of the Welsh leader of Reform for corruption and spouting pre Putin propaganda will have many across Europe very nervous. It‘s no surprise that the right wing groups in Europe have suddenly become very quiet in the realisation that any Putin links are going to be investigated. Farage for instance has been very, very quiet …. It makes you wonder……

We should pass a law that if someone does any work for Russia Today (or similar organisation which should be listed) then they should be banned from ever having a position of power in the UK, such as being an MP.

Regulars can look away, as I'm going to be repeating myself.

In 1986/87, I worked at BAe in Stevenage, at a huge site alongside the A1. In my induction, I was warned about Russians who used to drive up from the Russian embassy in London, and hang about in the pubs outside the gates, hoping to hear something of interest.

Today, nearly 40 years later, we can see that the Russians haven't changed. In fact they've got worse and far more effective, in their hybrid war against the west.
Likewise I worked for BAE Systems and others in the same space.

Thanks Trump you absolute C**T. Looks like the Russians have broken through in Kursk, in no small thanks to the US intelligence blackout
Kursk is trending on X, Ive read the article, but a couple of military expert type accounts I'm following, cautioning against reading to much into it yet, Russians attacking down one road, with water to side, one way in and out?

F*** knows how accurate?

One such

The gloves are off for the EU when it comes to Putin. They know he’s trying to break the EU so any lapdog in one the EU member countries isn’t going to get any slack. Slovakia and Hungary know this as they also know that the money train has ended from Putin.

The arrest of the Welsh leader of Reform for corruption and spouting pre Putin propaganda will have many across Europe very nervous. It‘s no surprise that the right wing groups in Europe have suddenly become very quiet in the realisation that any Putin links are going to be investigated.

I imagined Farage was busy in his Clacton surgeries, catching up with local priorities after his trips.

Ukraine have been masters at sucking Russians into a tight area that turns into a killing zone - let's hope this is one of those 🤞🏻

This article by Timothy Snyder is long, but I found it to be a very lucid argument.
Was there anti-semitism in the White House last Friday?

This well-written article, deserves more traction on this thread.

I would urge you all to take the time to read it, and think the unthinkable.

Unfortunately, now being reported on multiple networks. All trace the deterioration to the US suspending intelligence. 🤬
Every outlet is reporting the same thing. It looks like its fierce, its almost certainly been timed and is aided by the US switiching off intelligence. BBCs Steve Rosenburg despatch just adds to the fuel, this is happening in co-ordination with Trump 😡



Its not over yet, the Ukrainian drones are in the air, hitting back and a huge pocket of NK's are surrounded in a forest....allegedly.

An update from Suchomimus suggests the Russian counterattack (effing North Koreans actually) has successfully cut the Ukrainian forces in two, near Sudzha - not good.
Better info above...

On a more positive note, Ukraine is making some inroads into the Russians on the Donetsk front.
