Lessons from the U.S.-U.K. trade deal: Don’t appease a bully The tariff agreement signed between London and Washington does little to boost the U.K. economy and, despite appearances, is a diplomatic defeat for Prime Minister Starmer.

Commentary: Post-Brexit Britain aspired to chart an independent course, but it has capitulated to the tariff pressures of an erratic Trump. Other countries should not follow suit.

Some superb reads here.

Having consumed these for professional military education, I’d suggest that there’s more than a few of these which would equally interest the hobby wargamers out there!

NEW: Jimmy Carter, the 39th President of the United States, has died at the age of 100.

He was elected in the 1976 presidential election for a single term. He enjoyed a remarkable post-presidency, based on philanthropy. He was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002.

Happily received a copy of Midgard for Christmas. This band of Celts I got as a freebie from Warlord are a nice start to a Dark Ages force...

Today I learned that you can pay to be hooked up to an IV drip in some London hotels.

Welcome to the late decadence era of western civilisation.

This is right. Russia’s willingness to carry out not just targeted assassinations (eg plot against Rheinmetall’s CEO) but terrorist attacks (attempts to plant bombs on DHL aircraft - possibly causing yesterday’s crash in Lithuania) shows that Putin considers that he is at war with the West.
