Yep, global politics is very challenging with frequent changes - you are right.

I remember reading an article by the Royal United Services Institute in the autumn of 2022.
It predicted that as Russia was achieving less success on the battlefield, we should expect an increase in activity on other fronts - cyber warfare, sabotage, threats, disruption, disinformation etc.
How right RUSI have proved to be.

Be a shame if the SBS accidentally drilled a hole in the hull, wouldn’t it?
Entirely predictable. Europe has been at war with The Russian Federation for years, but has been too busy sleepwalking. Modern warfare does not necessarily require boots on the ground.

We are too nice - concerned about a law suit from a London Lawyer.
From the Washington Post:
The latest report by the V-Dem Institute, which tracks the health of democracies in more than 200 countries around the world, found that nearly three quarters of the world’s population live in societies categorized as “autocracies” — the highest proportion since 1978, per its calculations. For the first time in more than two decades, it categorized more societies as autocracies than democracies.

Boats on the sea or ships?
At 9.30...US Hedge Funds are now authorised (by the US and Russia) to be able to purchase Russian funds again - so, the US is normalising investments into Russia, and this will probably encourage other countries to do the same. I hope there are enormous losses down the line...

Seeing the Ukrainian POWs return at the end is very moving.
I can't believe how America is now the biggest obstacle to Ukraine!
Watch at 22.00 minutes, a video of Ukrainian school children in occupied Melitopol (a town I have visited) having their morning assembly: they dress in military uniforms and salute the Russian flag, watched by masked men. This is how the indoctrination starts, daily, and it never stops. As Jake Broe says, these kids are being groomed to be in the Russian military, with complete loyalty to Russia, and will be on the battlefield against the Baltic States and/or Poland in a few years.
No-one can resist Russian indoctrination when it starts at this age, like this.
Please watch it - it's not easy though

I’m not trying to be a smarty pants but I’ve said from the start, this is going to end up with European troops on the ground fighting a war with Russia.
Everything I’m seeing is pointing towards this.
Within 18 months Europe will be at war with Russia.

It’s becoming more inevitable by the day.
It’s clear that Russia is not going to agree to any kind of reasonable peace deal.
The rhetoric coming out of European leaders is getting more defiant by the hour.
People are standing up to Putin and calling his bluff.
Putin will not back down.
There’s only one course of action left.
There is a gathering storm.

The smart thing to do would be to put troops in Ukraine now.
Show that fucker we’re not messing around.
Give the baldy **** something to chew on.
I’d have Chinook’s shaking the tiles on the Kremlin roof by sundown .
