Just a minute. I have never claimed to be an expert in drone porn. (If you had said toad porn you would have been a lot closer, as they are all at it at Woods Mill Nature Reserve, Small Dole).

He's got a ton of output on Youtube, but none of it shows him actually playing football. Too risky. Get rid.

Some good points in there. The gist of it is Nato needs to catch up with the advances Ukraine (and Russia) have made in drone warfare and EW. Perhaps he saved the most important point until last. It is obviously based on the experience of Ukraine. Nato must be prepared to defend its territory...

It might be Russia being Russia, i.e. wholly untrustworthy, we won't know if or when the war is about to come to an end, if only because Russia has run out of troops or equipment. If they announce a ceasefire, no-one will be able to trust them anyway. So the war could in theory drag on for a...

He's kidding no-one. He wouldn't call a two day ceasefire unless it suited him. Potential reasons might be: 1. He's playing Trump again. 2. Russian commanders have asked for a respite. 3. They weren't planning any operations over Easter anyway. 4. They are running short of some things and...

This is a bit of an obscure one. It may be a canary in the coalmine, but what is the canary telling us? I'm not sure that this signifies a possible impending change in leadership. IMO, it is more likely to be Putin beginning a Stalin style purge to consolidate his position. See what you think.

This is not a peace deal. It's a surrender deal.

A population of just 5.5 million, a long border with Russia, didn't join NATO until 2023, and stood firm against all the Russian shit since WW2.

Indeed. I thought of expressing my incredulity by highlighting the more er, incredible items, but they were all completely bonkers. Quietly asking a 'European nation' not to help Ukraine?? WTF? Then offering us a trade deal, but then specifying that the offer of a trade deal is predicated on...

You can say that again. That was an extraordinary watch. Where does Trump get his ideas from? Amongst all the utter shit, I did find one positive thing. I had to look hard for it but there it is, at 10:25. 'Russia asks US to let it use frozen assets to buy Boeing planes'. Translated, that...

I don't think there is anything that can be guaranteed, apart from wide-ranging things like 'Russia will not stop', and 'Russia will always be belligerent'. As we have seen, Russia operates on a number of fronts, including some quite inventive ones, like cutting undersea cables. These may or...

So what might the reason be for this compound? Here are the ones I can think of. 1. Intimidation of Finland / Nato. Standard Russian procedure on treatment of neighbouring countries.. 2. Information gathering - test the Nato article 5 response in terms of timing, warning, threshhold, severity...

The possible end to the Russia-Ukraine war has created a vacancy. We know that Russia works on multiple fronts. We know that Russia has weaponised migration. We know that Russia has been carrying out a hybrid war against Finland, including ten large cyber warfare attacks between 2022 and 2024...

There was a stage that Witkoff didn't know the names of the Ukrainian regions part-occupied by Russia. But, and it has to said, Trump hired him because Witkoff is a decent golfer. Plays off four I understand.

'it'll be calculated and won't waste any weapons' - you're channeling your inner Ukrainian @raymondo. I think you're right. Moscow will be crawling with security to make sure it all goes off ok in front of the cameras. But Ukraine might be looking at where Russia is moving the anti-aircraft...

Following my previous post about the 700% growth in the past year of domestic long-range missile production, am I right in thinking we haven't seen an accompanying growth in them being deployed by Ukraine? Perhaps we've missed a few big bavovnas, but even so? Are they being reserved for a...

Date for your diaries - May 9 Moscow victory day parade. There won't be a victory as such, nor many tanks or supply vehicles, but there will be donkeys, mules, scooters, North Koreans and Chinese mercenaries.

I'm also wondering if the two might occur in the same timeframe. A weakening Russia, with a perceived power vacuum or struggle in the Kremlin might precipitate civil unrest, regardless of what Ukraine does.
