Currently focused on Ukraine, followed by UK and US politics and climate change. I'm retired in Falmouth, UK and am writing a history of the Cornish tourist industry, but am increasingly focused on how Cornwall is turning into a high-tech hub.

Russians claim ballistic missiles were launched toward Belgorod and Voronezh regions, with residents in Shebekino spotting launch trails. Footage shows air defense in action, but whether anything was intercepted remains unclear. As always, Russia claims “everything was shot down.”

Day 1362 of Ukraine's fight for survival and we are at a strange stage of the war where both sides can be said to be struggling, but neither side winning.
There is no middle ground. You're for democracy and freedom or you accept and therefore encourage mass murder and more wars

Trump’s pardons didn’t just free his buddies—they wiped out over $1.5B owed to victims. Imagine being promised justice, only to watch the president erase your restitution with a pen. Criminals got mercy. Victims got screwed.

I assume all this is true, but have no means of verifying. How on earth is this slaughter not feeding back into the Russian system? Putin's support base must be reducing.

Stop calling them ICE agents. They’re not actual law enforcement. They are thugs-for-hire recruited from the Proud Boys, J6ers, and others. They are violent predators given the freedom to run wild against the people they have demonized. Every one of them must be brought to justice when this is over.
