ITS A MATTER OF PRINCIPLES
Principles matter, they are the core of everything. If we don't abide by our own, what are we? Not just as individuals but as nations. Ukraine stands on principle and so must we. How this mess of a peace document happened is as much about a lack of them, as fighting it is about keeping to them.

UKRAINE ACCEPTS MODIFIED PEACE DEAL AS RUSSIA INSTANTLY REJECTS IT
Lavarov let lose on the Europeans saying it was perfectly good in its original form and why did Europe have to tinker with it and ruin it? Because it was crap.
Good, now he knows Europe is taking no more from the DimWit proposals

I’M SICK OF AMERICANS
SAYING UKRAINE HAS LOST
Nothing is further from the truth and there’s been a lot of American talk that the war is nearly four years old and the only thing that can happen is Ukraine loses. Where in the history books can you show me an example of a defending power who has

WHY NATO DOESN’T NEED AMERICA
I worked for years inside the command structure and it’s barely changed in principle. The only reason there is a SACEUR who is American is because the US supplied the majority of the air and land power and it had nuclear weapons.

NEGOTIATION IS POINTLESS
28 points down to 19 points, none of which Moscow will accept. In Russia they know this and there’s plenty of blame that it’s Europe who have prevented an end to the war. That’s how Moscow and its supporters are framing it. And I say let them. The peace at any price brigade

ETHICS: ILLEGAL ORDERS
One of the most disturbing elements of the Trump regime is the issue raised by Senator Mark Kelley. That he reminded military personnel and leaders what they are taught at their colleges and training grounds. You do not have to execute an illegal order.

PLUNGING POLL NUMBERS AND DISQUIET LURKING AHEAD…TRUMPS PRESIDENCY IN TROUBLE
The peace proposal is deeply unpopular and Trump knows it. Already partly backing away from it saying that if they don’t accept it ‘Zelensky will have to fight his little head out I suppose’, he clearly feels stung

RUSSIAN BREAKTHROUGH IS A CHALLENGE FOR UKRAINE
The Russians broke through north of Hulaiapole using heavy fog to cover their advance. This came after several weeks of heavy artillery and aerial bombardment that levelled Ukrainian defences.

HULAIAPOLE BREAKTHROUGH
Russian forces said to number as many as 40,000 seem to have broken through the Ukrainian defences north of the town, one of the last major obstacles before a vast open space of almost indefensible fields and tree lines that stretches for dozens of kilometres westward.

RUSSIAN REFINERY DEFENCE TACTIC
Apparently the latest defensive move to protect refineries is that when notified they’re the target, they now carry out an emergency gas venting across the whole site. That results in a less has in pipes and tanks and reduced explosive damage.

SUNDAY - SOMETHING CURIOUSLY DIFFERENT
Two fascinating DNA related investigations have revealed three things so far about two people.
One of them is Adolf Hitler. Extracting blood from the sofa he shot himself on they produced 90% of his genome after a long period verifying it was his blood.

RUSSIA EMPTIES OUT ITS ANCIENT T-72 RESERVES
Throughout the war the oldest T-72 variants long withdrawn, have been in long term storage. Some 900 of them. Suddenly this year the T-72 has been reactivated.

THE RUSSIANS KNOW THIS PLAN IS FAKE…
They know this is something Kyiv cannot accept. This is about getting the Trump administration to stop aiding Ukraine and make Russia’s war easier.
The idea that Kyiv will surrender by the 27th is ludicrous. Zelensky will play the game until everyone else makes

RUSSIA SELLING ITS GOLD RESERVES TO RAISE MONEY
It once stood at 405.7 tons and it’s now down to 173.1 tons. The national reserves are on a record decline.
