I find it hard to believe that the Russian counteroffensive in Kursk and reactivation of missile salvoes from its Black Sea Fleet wasn’t planned with the expectation Trump would blind Ukraine by cutting off intelligence and satellite reconnaissance

Damn. Not wrong. But damn.
French Senator Claude Malhuret:

"Washington has become Nero’s court, with an incendiary emperor, submissive courtiers and a jester high on ketamine... We were at war with a dictator, we are now at war with a dictator backed by a traitor."

This is the way to view the German election.
So much of the US coverage of the German elections is cast in a "sky is falling" AfD rising apocalypse frame. I get it. The AfD is going to 2x its vote and get around 20%. But another way to look at this is that the AfD blew it. The conditions couldn't be better for the AfD to surge and yet. 1/ 🧵

So I've lived to see a US President condemn a country for not surrendering immediately to an invading Russian army.

Does HS2 have a future?

And why does that question hinge on an unseen government document and a sugar mill in Nottinghamshire?

Far as I can tell Basma Assad still has her British passport. Whatever we might think of Shemima Begum, it’s hard to argue that Assad has a stronger right to being British than her.

During Covid lockdown, if you had family round on Christmas Day the police could force their way into your home and make them return to their own homes.
Does anybody know if this service is still available and, if so, do you have to book it?

Let's hope that our only legitimate leader has just checkmated the Russian regime in Georgia.
Whatever the case, however, she’s a heroine for all her efforts for her people.

This week sees the annual Plymouth Brethren global Strive meeting

Strive is run by their Global Funding Team. It is the meeting where Bruce Hales calls on cult members to dig deeper to fund their ecosystem

Though with an extremely healthy war chest, it will be hard to justify

In politics clarity is its own opportunity. The storm of the 2024 election has created great clarity. The richest man in the world, Elon Musk, and 3rd richest man in the world, Jeff Bezos, are currently asking a group of Trump judges to end the right to organize & join a union in the United States.
