Put the boot in on Russia
YouTube video by Cormac Smith Put the boot in on Russia

โ€˜Time to put the boot in on Russiaโ€™

Tomahawks from Trump will probably not be a game changer in themselves but the steel toecap on the boot.

They would be a very significant addition to Ukraines arsenal & will put more elements of Russiaโ€™s logistics chain in serious peril ๐Ÿ‘‡

The Man Russia Tried To Break When people hear my name these days, itโ€™s usually followed by โ€œformer British soldier captured in Mariupol.โ€ Or worse, โ€œforeign fighterโ€ as if Iโ€™d spent my weekends pledging allegiance to some jihad.

BREAKING: Is Russia Running Out of Men to Fill the Ranks of its Rabble Army?
YouTube video by Silicon Wafers BREAKING: Is Russia Running Out of Men to Fill the Ranks of its Rabble Army?

In every war there comes a point where on one side, or even both, the demand for men outweighs the supply. There are suggestions that Russia is approaching โ€” or already passing โ€” that tipping point. Will Putin go for another wave of full mobilisation? youtu.be/Of2xBjtUPEY

At Valdai in Sochi, Putin walked a tightrope: denying any intent to attack NATO, while condemning Europe for "escalating militarization." Putin said: "We simply cannot ignore what is happening." Is this a preparation for operations against European allies? youtu.be/Gq2dDqj9jmk

Russiaโ€™s role in 7 October  with Mike Graham

Today, we mark 2nd anniversary of worst mass murder of Jews since Holocaust. But no one wants to talk about Russiaโ€™s role.

Oh and 7 Oct is Putinโ€™s birthday

I remain grateful to Mike Graham for giving me the opportunity last year to discuss.

Bottom line: soldiers follow orders. Unless the most senior commanders, from the Joint Chiefs down, make a stand and refuse to obey a Presidential order, either directly or through the Secretaries of War, State or Homeland Security, then it's game over. Furthermore, they must refuse to be dismissed.

Today 1st October is Ukraine Defender Day.

In the short clip below I set out why Ukraine is winning & how the best way we can honour her brave defenders & citizens is by having the same faith in them that they have in themselves.

โ€œWhat the right used to call hurty wordsโ€

Lovely from @mrjamesob.bsky.social on LBC just now.

The right are now becoming very upset if, not the left but ordinary decent people, accuse them of saying what they actually said.

Iโ€™m paraphrasing but I think I have it correct.

Hurt words eh?
