The conflation of "foreign criminals" and "illegal migrants" is disgusting.

Vile when some people don't have a safe route to flee from the utter detestation & brutality of war.

It's all grim enough without the Labour Government pushing further misinformation.

Er, no he's not. He's deranged. Out of his goddamn frigging tree. His description of London, which I presume you've not been to, is far from the truth.

Izium was occupied for 6 months. It took 3 years to identify 449 victims. 23 were Ukrainian soldiers. The rest were civilians whose only β€œcrime” was living on Ukrainian land.
That’s what occupation actually means.
This is what russia calls β€œliberation.”
This is why Ukraine cannot give up land.

Trump is in Putin’s pocket.
Putin is in Xi’s pocket.
Republicans and Democrats alike should be able to agree: that’s bad for America.

‼️Russia intended to blow up passenger airliners flying between the US and the EU last year‼️

According to reports, the Russians intended to cause the biggest disruption to airlines since the September 11th World Trade Center attacks.

Remind me again how Russia wants peace?

The First Step Europe Needs To Stop Listening to the "Hopewashing" from Official Washington

Just sent out this post. For Europeans to start looking after their own security one step seems vital, they need to stop genuflecting to official Washington, which always "hopewashes" the policies of Donald Trump. Unless Europe can think for itself, it will fail. open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

Although it appears, even now despite everything, European leaders still, at least publicly, don't understand this.

Scary times and all the while we're protected by Ukrainians.

Ukraine war latest: Zelensky says he has no right to give up land to Russia Trump expresses frustration with Zelensky, accusing him of failing to read the latest plan, while insisting Putin was 'fine with it'

Since Russia is happily waging a cyber war on us and others and physical war in Ukraine isn’t it about time the UK and Europe stood up to Putin and increased pressure including support for Ukraine and sanctions on Russia?

There is one question I and all Ukrainians want to get an answer to: if Russia again starts the war, what will our partners do, – Zelensky on security guarantees from Western allies, above all the US. (Bloomberg)

Trump hates Europe’s democracies because they have universal health care, a strong social welfare system and heavy unionization.

He prefers MBS’s Saudi Arabia, where one trillionaire family runs a brutal dictatorship.

What a betrayal of American values!

Once again, Russia and USA are allies. Although this time we are fighting to put Nazis back in power.

Which is a nuance.

Alexander Gabuev, a well-known expert on Russian foreign policy and a senior fellow at the Carnegie Russia and Eurasia Center in Berlin, is convinced that time is working against Kremlin leader Vladimir Putin.

This is the red line.
Not just for Ukraine, but all of Europe.
Yet the Europeans continue to choose relative temporary comfort at the cost of unimaginable death and terror in the foreseeable future instead.
Russia must be defeated and expelled from Ukraine to achieve peace.

Very true, which is ridiculous because several east European countries, including Poland, looked to the UK for leadership inside the EU. If anything the UK had way more sway than the French at least.

Trump’s outgoing Ukraine envoy Kellogg seems convinced a resolution to Russia’s aggression is close, saying only β€œa couple of issues” remain, namely Ukrainian territorial concessions and the ZNPP. As if handing a fortress to the aggressor would end the war rather than trigger the next one.

β€œIf we allow Russia to come out of this conflict as a victor, we have all lost” - very important and timely words from Czech President Petr Pavel.

The cost to stop a growing evil today will always be lower than the cost to stop it tomorrow.

And not just in money.

I was at the funeral of my brother-in-arms recently.

Life is not fucking fair. I looked at his wife and little daughter.

I can't even imagine how it feels for them but I cried there.

Weekend Update #162: The Best Week Since November 5, 2024 The Tomahawk Con: A Case Study: Pokrovsk And The Ranged War

Hi All, free weekend update is out. This was the best week for Ukraine/Europe since November 5, 2024. The new US Security Strategy confirms without a doubt that Trump is out to attack Europe (and cripple Ukraine). After months of a con, the truth is undeniable. open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

I'm a Samaritan and many times I've heard people talk about the utter horror the DWP has inflicted upon their already difficult lives.

It's sickening but to then blame the very people whose lives they're ruining?! Simple vile.

People without empathy should not be employed by the DWP.

if Russia had ever respected an agreement, we wouldn’t have to talk about a ceasefire.
Putin hadn’t occupied Crimea, nor invaded the rest of Ukraine.
Putin and Trump are career criminals and liars.
