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.

Zelensky says Ukraine could get Tomahawks if President Trump gives the green light: “Producers are ready to sell. We also discussed other systems, not just Tomahawks, that offer strong long-range capabilities. We’re interested in a full package of options.”

🇪🇺❌ The European Commission has banned the issuance of multiple-entry visas to Russian citizens.

Now the Russians will have to apply for a new single-entry visa every time they plan to travel to the EU.

Leaked Epstein files reportedly expose Trump to explosive allegations far beyond past claims, involving nude underage girls. GOP insiders panic as DOJ hints at very damning evidence. When unsealed, these records will destroy Trump and shred the Republican Party’s credibility overnight.

Just hours after Czech Parliament Speaker Tomio Okamura boasted about removing the Ukrainian flag, three new blue-and-yellow flags appeared on the building. Parties including ODS, STAN, and Piráti raised them from their office windows in defiance.

Russia: Putin sidelined Lavrov, his Foreign Minister of 21 years, after Secretary of State Rubio rebuffed his nonsense demands for Ukraine to capitulate in their Oct 20 phone call and canceled the Trump-Putin meeting.
Putin removed Lavrov from Security Council & G20 delegation.

1/ Russian soldiers are being handcuffed to each other, pepper-sprayed, and beaten to force them to go to the front lines. A soldier says that ex-POWs and badly wounded men on crutches are being forced to fight. "They're just throwing us in for meat," he says. ⬇️

NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte says the Alliance is now outproducing Russia in ammunition, a major shift from earlier in the war. He stressed the need to ramp up production and speed up deliveries, with dozens of new lines opening. Focus areas include air defense and low-cost drone interceptors.

Putin's fear that someone around him will stab him in the back, are reaching new heights. He now requires the type of loyalty that only blood relations provide. He's deluding himself if he thinks this will improve his hold on power. The only thing that is guaranteed is that more blood will flow.
Putin appointed 24 relatives to state-related positions, revealing extensive nepotism. Source: Проект.

The investigation reveals not just appointments but also significant government contracts for Putin's relatives, raising concerns about accountability.

Worth reading. Trump has done a disfavour by claiming Gates is backing his belief that Climate Change is a hoax. Instead, Gates gives a very clear analysis of what is happening at the technological level. Political activity is still needed.

Mamdani: "My message to ICE agents & to everyone across this city is that everyone will be held to the same standard of the law. If you violate it, you must be held accountable. There is sadly a sense growing that certain people are allowed to violate that law, whether they be POTUS or ICE agents."
