I promised to post a series of why the fall of the Assad regime is a monumental defeat for Moscow and addressed the situation in Africa where Russia's plundering of resources is threatened by the losses of the Syrian bases. Today, comes the next episode:

The Baltic Sea’s Bad Actors Russian and Chinese gray-zone aggression prove that dreams of a peaceful “NATO lake” were premature.

Russian sabotage in the Baltic is just part of a Russian campaign (acts of war mind you) across Europe. So far the European response (and that includes the UK--this is not an EU alone failing) has been pathetic. Europe is not rising to the occasion. foreignpolicy.com/2024/12/04/r...

Kremliaus žiniasklaidai Lietuva – viena didžiausių antisemitizmo skleidėjų Kovo 15-ąją dieną buvo minima Lietuvos Žydų Gelbėtojų diena. Tądien prieš 58-erius metus Vilniaus geto žydų gelbėtoja Ona Šimaitė tapo pirmąja lietuve, kuriai buvo suteiktas Pasaulio Tautų teisuolės vardas. O kitąmet minėsime 80-ąsias Aušvico koncentracijos stovyklos išlaisvinimo metines, Tarptautinę Holokausto Atminimo dieną. Suvokus siaubingą Holokausto palikimą, šios datos tapo dalimi Vakarų pastangos paversti žydų tautos genocidą pamoka apie šovinizmo ideologijos grėsmes bei galimas pasekmes

Just sent out the always free substack weekend update. This seems to have been important week in the European understanding that European states might soon be left on their mostly on their own to keep Ukraine supported. Across Europe there were new pledges. open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

Formula1 2024 start list

The United States ranks only in the 30th place among allies in terms of its support to Ukraine as a % of national income (GDP).
29 European countries make a bigger effort. That's *every* EU member, as well as Norway and the UK.
This needs to be more widely known in the U.S.

Hi everyone, just sent out my weekend update on substack.
Number 50 (which is hard to believe). They are always free. Focussed on 3 stories. The Aid Ukraine is receiving and what it means. The Russian attack on Avdiivka, and Ukraine fighting humanely. open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

Looking at wars happening now, I think it needs to be pointed out how Ukraine is doing by far the best at fighting while trying the hardest to follow the laws and conventions of war. Their efforts here are superb and a message to the world. Another reason to aid them forcefully.

This thread is discussing TERCOM guidance. There is a lot of mis- & disinformation circulating, partially fueled by the 🇩🇪 government itself, regarding the capabilities & requirements of TERCOM in relation to Taurus. Let's clarify the facts & set the record straight. 🧵👇 1/22
