It is great that Rubio clearly states that sanctions must be constantly enforced to work. That is a key point I personally wasnโ€™t sure the current administration understands.

Everyone is posting this video of a Ukrainian soldier shooting down a Russian Shahed drone with a "minigun," and itโ€™s a great video worth sharing.

I just canโ€™t help thinking that they launch hundreds upon hundreds of those drones at us every single day. Every day!

โ€œFearless journalism is what terrifies politicians, and it must not be cowed."

The BBC must stand up to Trump's $1 billion lawsuit - or risk legitimising the president's false narrative of what really happened on January 6

Dobropillia diversion: did Russia trick Ukraine into losing Pokrovsk? A Russian incursion north of Pokrovsk in August diverted Ukrainian reinforcements. Was it all in the Kremlin's plan?

Military theorist Delwin calls it a "counter-fixation axis for Ukrainian reserves" โ€” Russia committed just enough forces north of Pokrovsk to keep Ukraine's elite 1st Azov Corps busy there.

The tactic worked: the 1st Azov Corps never made it to defend Pokrovsk itself.

I agree, there is a deep sense of nihilism in Russia that goes back to the mid 19th C, it has ebbed and flowed since then but it is resurgent and now linked with the political and religious elites. It is indeed dangerous for all of us.

The Russian Orthodox Church has stated that it is inappropriate for Russians to laugh and enjoy life because for them, sorrow is joy and bliss.

"Our mentality is different; we even look sorrowful..," Pitirim, Bishop Skopinsky, said.

Eight child abusers were jailed today.
8 child sexual predators who had been operating in areas such as Gravesend, Gillingham, Swanley, & Margate jailed for a combined 100 years.
This managed not to be the top story on repeat for BBC, itv or sky News.

I wonder why.
