  1. Proud of the Sri Lankan people for standing up to these corrupt and inept politicians
    1200
  2. Much of the red Russian "controlled" areas in reality they only control a main road or two, that is why they are getting constantly ambushed and losing trucks and armor, for example that vast swath of land from the NE towards Kiev they actually only control two main roads plus a connection route between the two main ones, they do not even control most of the towns in that area.

  3. Poll last week showed 76% of Finns now want to join NATO and that is on a major upwards trend every weeks since the invasion, in a poll last month in Sweden it was 57% supported joining NATO and it also was on a major upwards trend, no doubt over 60% now. I heard a decision to apply could come as early as the end of this week or early next week for Finland and Sweden had requested of Finland that they apply together both have been given security guarantees by the US and UK during the application process.

  4. That forested area next to the festival probably saved a lot of lives

  5. Prigozhin is being payed huge sums by several African dictators, concessions on diamond and gold mines, oil and gas wells etc. Prigozhin is not hurting for money, many of his companies catering contracts in Russia have not even been cancelled, he can still pay all the mercenaries he wants.

  6. Tank warfare does NOT have to wait until late Spring, they work fine in Winter after the ground has frozen solid, normally in Ukraine that was three weeks ago. The Spring thaw will put a damper on it.
    55
  7. After this I have lost any vestige of sympathy I once had for Palestinians, watching Palestinian civilians celebrate over the nearly naked dead body of that German girl and abusing her corpse made me realize no they are not like us, just barbaric.
    51
  8. Why is Ireland's neutrality different from Sweden and Switzerland's? and "can't be changed overnight" those two neutral countries changed overnight, situations like Putin's war do not allow for the usual unending Irish politicians debates, decisions need to be made now because lives are being lost every minute we dither around debating. People that insist on holding onto this childlike rose colored glasses vision of the world with their precious neutrality really need to be publicly called out for both their dangerous childish naivete and for their inhumane immoral lack of empathy for the suffering of others. The incredible hypocrisy and dishonesty of those two women who were questioned is astonishing and revolting, both would surely claim to have empathy for the suffering of Ukrainians but they refuse to lift a finger to do anything of consequence that may inconvenience them to help the Ukrainians, just disgusting.

  9. Reports I heard were Wagner troops were just 125 miles from Moscow before they were ordered to turn around, they were getting little to no resistance from Russian regular troops. It appears the only troops loyal to Shoigu were Kadyrovite Chechens, inexperienced National Guard, internal security forces and most of the Air Force. My guess is Prigozhin got something more than charges dropped like Shoigu castrated.
    45
  10. Russia lost a 50 sq km region in Dontesk the other day when their attack lost a lot of men and then Ukraine counter attacked seizing that large area.
    43
  11. Just an FYI a Polish source is claiming that area of that building is guarded on those floors by FSB agents, so something is going on there. There is a Russian economic ministry of some kind that is using some office space in that area of the building, it may very well be a cover for something military or Intel related. I worked at a very non public FBI office located in a office building like that with some rather serious security behind closed doors and key pad entries so I imagine the Russians do similar things.
    41
  12. "Cutting costs" should be illegal for the military right now, we are facing a possible world war, this penny pinching is criminally insane!
    39
  13. Non-politician, he was a comic and actor, ran on populist clean up corruption platform, won in mid 2019, he has tried to clean up the corruption but the swamp in Ukraine with the oligarchs was deep.
    38
  14. F-18 may be a better option, Australia alone has a couple dozen that are in mothballs they could give, Finland also has indicated a possibility of giving 6-12 of theirs, so if the US refuses to send any of their then there appears to be more F-18's available plus they can operate better on unimproved runways.
    34
  15. Meanwhile where I live it is the coolest Spring and Summer I have seen in my entire life, record breaking, and the wettest Spring, had a major snow storm in late April, the latest ever. In a normal year where I live we have a week solid of 40C weather almost every year, use fans, AC, ice and drink a lot, basically just common sense. I have fought fires in these type temps, just deal with it, the media are making a ridiculous deal over this.

  16. The area the Redwoods (tallest tree) live in on the coast of Northern California and Southern Oregon is VERY wet like Britain. The Giant Sequoia is a different but related tree and is the biggest by trunk size, they live in the Sierra mountains, drier than the coast but still a lot of moisture via snowfall, unlike the coastal redwoods they evolved to handle dry fire seasons. Most of the Giant Sequoia are in three national parks in the Sierra mountains and the drought ended over a year ago with record rains and snowfalls last year and again this year, even ancient Lake Tulare is refilling and a ancient lake in Death Valley, the Sequoia is not going away in the US anytime soon.
    29
  17. Odessa and Kiev are absolutely gorgeous cities packed with historical sites, the idea of that being destroyed by Putin's thugs is heartbreaking
    27
  18. Having a four wheel drive probably saved them
    25
  19. Russia needs to be brutally penalized for this
    25
  20. Yep just words, need action
    24
  21. Thrilled to have them, they have a top notch military with outstanding soldiers
    21
  22. 100% agree, he is literally aiding Russia and China.
    19
  23. Why should it be a problem for Ukraine if they knew about? Their country was invaded twice in the last 8 years now by Russia, why should they be judged for allowing a rebel group to attack from their territory and why should we care?
    19
  24.  @kevjtnbtmglr  That is BS and the troops and the equipment they have is outstanding, they fought by our side in Afghanistan. Sweden has 24,000 active personnel and 32,000 reserves for a country with less than ten million that is not small.
    19
  25. BS it hasn't, the US has refused to send any jet aircraft for 18 months and refused to let others send American made aircraft, it still refuses to send or let others send helicopters, it has 21 Mig-29's it oddly owns it refuses to send, it still refuses longer range ATACMS, it has 3450 Abrams tanks just in mothball storage alone yet is only sending a measly 31 that still are not there months after other countries supplied tanks. If the US had met even the low end requests from Ukraine a year ago then Ukraine right now probably would have recaptured all of Luhansk and be at Crimea's doorstep, not to mention less dead Ukrainians. The US wants to bleed Russia and keep Russia busy far more than they care about Ukraine.
    18
  26. The French Military should have removed Macron several years ago when all those generals and admirals wrote the open letter accusing Macron of treason.
    17
  27.  @babblo1389  Actually last month polling showed 57% of Swedes wanted to join NATO and that was on a very fast curve upward in polling, it is no doubt well over 60% now, Finland was at 76% last week, sorry to poke a whole in your propaganda lies.
    17
  28. They are brutal against all opposition but the US, Australia and Canada calling them out is hypocritical considering how Canada and Australia treated anti Covid protestors and how the US has treated unarmed almost entirely non violent January 6th protestors who are locked up in deplorable conditions (per a US Marshals report) for years for basically trespass.
    16
  29. Soldiers die in war, we all know what can happen. My sympathies to his family, rest in peace brother.
    16
  30. It has even without ATACMS rockets
    15
  31. Sorry but the UK is far more left wing and authoritarian than the US is, quit blaming other countries and look in the mirror.
    15
  32. Last year the dry weather lasted through the first week of November.
    15
  33. That has been Russian tactics for war since Ivan the Terrible, they never change.
    15
  34. Please join NATO before it is too late
    14
  35. The US signed an agreement with Sweden to guarantee its security while it goes through the NATO application process, does anyone know if the US signed something similar with Finland?
    13
  36. So disappointed in Rees-Mogg that he did not endorse either of the two actual conservatives Badenoch or Braverman. Truss and the others are not conservatives. He is right to say Sunak is untrustworthy, he is a slime ball. If anyone other than Badenoch or Braverman win I fear low conservative turnout in the next election and a Labour win, why should conservative voters support a "Conservative" Party that is anything but conservative with people like Sunak.
    12
  37. EVERY politician at that level is well off in every party, get real. What is the difference really between being worth ten million or a hundred million, neither one understands what it is like to suffer, the only one maybe that understands is Badenoch who despite well off parents they made her pay her own way working at McDonalds cleaning toilets.
    12
  38. Everybody is aware of it and they have talked about it endlessly especially in regards to the Abrams which is a logistical and maintenance nightmare.
    12
  39. SVB is the 2023 version of Bear Stearns which was the canary in the coal mine for the 2008 crash, going down months before the September 08 collapse. There is not only a problem in the banking sector but the tech sector is grossly over valued and that bubble is going to burst now, it has been inflated and kept afloat by constant infusions of venture capital from banks like SVB, the banks just threw money at any tech start up no matter the fundamentals, that is now over not only for the start ups but even for more established tech companies.
    12
  40. Oh stop Ivan, your not fooling anyone
    11
  41. I do not think Putin and Russia care about that farmers feelings
    10
  42. United in giving big speeches and doing very little like the cowards they are, even Poland and Bulgaria turned cowardly refusing to follow through on the promise to send Mig-29'S AND Su-25's that are desperately needed.
    10
  43. I pray for them🙏
    10
  44.  @kefirtruskawkowy  Yes and that poll was last month and had a rapid upward trend from previous polls so no doubt higher now.
    10
  45. Both sides made breakthroughs today if reports are correct, Ukraine in the South and Russia in the North, albeit just a few km.
    9
  46. Our ancestors were brilliant bad asses!
    9
  47. Like what that Russia is a pathetic mess Ivan
    9
  48. Odd how that happened
    9
  49. After the initial attack I assume Ukraine's remaining air force is dispersed and not at the bases anymore but a couple planes here and there in the woods next to straight flat stretches or road used as runways.
    8
  50. When your country is invaded everything is defensive
    8
  51. That headline is BS, unsubscribed
    8
  52. Do realize how much money it costs to repair a fighter like that? I guarantee he did not intend to damage his craft.
    8
  53. 100% YES, they are doing Russia and China's work for them.
    8
  54.  @SaxeLAD  In the UK virtually ALL the MP's of note were born into some wealth, the only one I know of that knows what it is like to actually work is Badenoch who despite well off parents they made her work at McDonalds cleaning toilets to pay her own way.
    7
  55.  @manedwolfwithagmailaccount1478  They are examples to all of us around the world on how we should behave and what we should value
    7
  56. Interesting thing is it was attacked from the North from the Sea of Azov which Russia 100% controls now, meaning these water borne drones were launched by either Ukrainian Special Forces or Partisans WAY behind Russian lines.
    7
  57. Ukraine unlike Russia has been unseasonably warm, if not for that Russia probably already would have launched a offensive over the frozen ground, all it would take is for a cold snap to happen in Ukraine and an offensive could begin by Russia and Ukraine will be without those tanks. Spain and others wanted to donate Leopard tanks months ago and Germany stopped them, any Ukrainian lives lost between now and April are on Germany's head.
    7
  58. It would be great if the UK actually had a conservative political party. I sure wish Kemi Badenoch had been allowed to go before party voters.
    7
  59. Russian trolls are eating this up
    7
  60. Compared to the anti Brexit, pro Covid restriction globalist Gove, Boris is immensely popular
    6
  61. Give Ukraine 200 top of the line Western jet fighters like Eurofighters, Gripen's, Rafales, F-16, F-18 etc and arrange for a couple hundred retired pilots that wish to volunteer. The Polish Air Force in 1921 that helped fend off the Soviet invasion was almost entirely American volunteers.
    6
  62. US after training a couple Ukrainian pilots determined they were ahead of where they anticipated and it would only take about 4 months to train the pilots and the Danes, Dutch and Belgians who are going to provide the mothballed F-16's and upgrade them before delivery say it will take them about 6 months to deliver all 45 planes. Australia also has a couple dozen F-18's in storage they indicated they may provide Ukraine.
    6
  63. Is he related to Ian Fleming? Same last name, Sir Jeremy's middle name is also Ian, Jeremy is in the spy business as was Ian before he wrote the James Bond novels. I do realize exposing Sir Jeremy's family associations could be dangerous to them so saying Ian Fleming's family is his family could be dangerous to them.
    6
  64. What was Ukraine thinking dumping cheap grain on their closest ally
    6
  65. I would slightly disagree, I believe Russia also has clear military goals in the Moldova/Transnistria area, it is not just a distraction.
    6
  66. It is a beautiful city
    6
  67. Western leaders need to quit channeling Neville Chamberlain and stand up to Putin
    6
  68. To clarify these were L-39 Albatross trainers that were being flown on this training mission, the rumor is "Juice" was preparing to go to F-16 training.
    6
  69. Russia will not do that, its pie in the sky to expect that
    5
  70. Go away Ivan troll
    5
  71. There was a Greek city there for the last 2500 years, pick up a history book
    5
  72. Pretty much and this has been going on for the last 500 years for Russia's neighbors.
    5
  73.  @HarrySmith-hr2iv  Cowardice encourages tyrants
    5
  74. The US, along with Poland, Bulgaria and Slovakia's decision not give those Mig-29's and Su-25's to Ukraine is disgusting cowardice, bowing to Putin's threats, it is costing thousands of lives, the decision is like Chamberlain's appeasement of Hitler.
    5
  75. @Looser Odessa has taken no damage, it is never too late
    5
  76. NATO has said the same thing about Ukraine must transition to NATO standard weapons systems, the Soviet era stocks of equipment are running dry and Ukrainian military industry cannot match Russian production of modernized Soviet era equipment.
    5
  77. True to an extent, however modern fighter jets like upgraded F-18, F-16, Gripen, Su-35 etc can launch pinpoint attacks from extreme distances. This is a capability Ukraine completely lacks and Russia has albeit limited.
    5
  78. No one has given to Ukraine as much as Poland's current Conservative government on a per person basis, even Ukrainians mostly agree the Ukrainian government was hurting Polish farmers by dumping cheap grain. Tusk previously was all for importing Russian gas, he was a Polish Merkel.
    5
  79. We are talking LATE Spring like May when the rain stops and it dries out, early Spring is both Spring rains and the Winter thaw. There will be no offensives in Early Spring. Do not discount a mid or late Winter offensive because the ground will be frozen solid everywhere North of the coast. Last year Russia was forced into a very late Winter attack because China asked them to wait until after their Winter Olympics were over, this turned bad for Russia when they were then faced with a very early Spring thaw and rains that turned everything into a mud pit other than paved roads.
    4
  80. Yes exactly like Hitler played everyone, cowards are easy to manipulate
    4
  81. They are hardly "garbage", they are superior to the old Mig-29's and Su-27's Ukraine has and the F-16's can be easily upgraded with new radars and weapons systems. The Netherlands and Denmark were going to buy F-35's anyway and either mothball or sell these F-16's, the most talked about possible buyer of them was pro China Argentina, other than the Biden Administration and maybe Trudeau I do not think anyone in NATO wanted Argentina to get them.
    4
  82. Leopard is FAR easier to maintain that the Abrams.
    4
  83. Mariupol was almost 20% Greek, it was the heart of the old Greek Black Sea regions population that has existed for thousands of years, until the Russian's came in 2022
    4
  84. They are not in large numbers, the 300 he cited is wrong, that includes ancient old Leopard 1 tanks and old Russian T-72 tanks from Poland, the last number I saw on modern Western tanks was 153 and that included the 31 Abrams that have yet to arrive.
    3
  85. First off because both those tanks exist in the 200-250 numbers while Leopard exists in numbers over 2000 just in Europe, people can afford to give some up. France has mentioned giving up a few but they have less than 250 LeClercs so we are talking 14 at most, Italy only has 200 Ariente total, they really cannot afford to give up any. After three decades of defense budget cuts almost no one but the US and Poland have more than bare minimums in equipment.
    3
  86. Absolutely

  87. Night vision is a rare thing in the Russian military, only special forces have it usually, they were just starting last year to roll it out to some regular units but not expensive NV mounted binoculars but instead little flip to the side NV scopes mounted behind a reflex sight, probably Gen1+ tech? Lack of NV capability by Russia against Georgia really hurt them in that war because many Georgian units had NV capability, not all but quite a few, same today with Ukrainian Regular forces and large shipments of NV equipment and thermal were coming in both from other countries military's as well as corporate donations like from ATN so Ukraine has a real advantage in night operations thus these successful raids by Marines and Special Forces from Ukraine.
    3
  88. One US Veteran Military Intel Officer who went on to work at a certain agency said Prigozhin got most of what he wanted and so he withdrew, he claimed Shoigu and Gerasimov have lost their power and will be removed, "retired" soon, and replaced by people Prigozhin trusts, the only reason they are not immediately being removed is so the Kremlin can save face, the former Intel Officer called it "a successful coup, but on an installment plan". This scenario is what most independent sources in Russia are also reporting, they say a close Putin friend, the Governor of Tula region will replace Shoigu. People need to realize Wagner was on the outskirts of Moscow with almost no opposition from the army, only a little opposition from the Air Force which they took care of, there was nothing stopping them from taking Moscow, the VIP's including Putin had already fled. Lukashenko and the Governor of the Tula region cut this deal between Putin, the FSB and Wagner.
    3
  89. NATO has a combined 91 Mig-29's and Su-25's including 14 Su-25's and 77 Mig-29's which includes the 21 Mig-29's the US owns, send them all along with most advanced air defense systems and tanks like Leopard 2's and Abrams, just send volunteer or paid corporate trainers.
    3
  90.  @kierano8390  Your military is dwarfed by countries with half your population, the only thing the UK has that is impressive is two carriers and a handful of nuclear subs, without that Poland could kick the UK around
    3
  91. I would not trust Jeremy Hunt to handle a 7-11
    3
  92. FYI the balloon after hovering over the majority of US nuclear ICBM silos in Montana then went down and hovered over Missouri AF base where the US keeps most of its modern nuclear bombers.
    3
  93.  Ace Point  Plenty of people just go missing though that cross the Yakuza
    3
  94. US has repeatedly not wanted to escalate and the only result of that has been the war going on longer and more people dying, if they went all in with a hundred+ tanks and jets, ATACMS etc right off the bat the war could have ended with the late Fall counter offensive last year.
    3
  95. The Anti Putin Russian forces just invaded again in another area 15km deep towards a major dam and taking a town, more Russian reserves are moving to the area from Donbass area which is exactly what Ukraine wants.
    3
  96. Ukrainians are losing ground around Bakhmut measured in meters while the Ukrainians are gaining ground around Kherson measured in kilometers.
    2
  97. People are sick of the traditional parties not keeping their promises, message to Conservatives ACT like Conservatives rather than woke Labour light
    2
  98. I can see several asking Rees-Mogg to join since he is one of the few actual conservative MP's in the so called Conservative Party, although his credentials have certainly slipped lately.
    2
  99. Dictators like Putin and Erdogan need to be eliminated.
    2
  100. Russia needs to be brutally punished for this
    2
  101. Stalled is just Russian propaganda
    2
  102. Power and freedom comes from the barrel of a gun and the willingness to use it, that is why smart Americans hang on so viciously to their second amendment rights. Prigozhin has that, those pathetic weak people in Belarus do not.
    2
  103. Napalm will fix that problem
    2
  104. They stopped 3 out of 4 attacks, only the attack from the North towards Kiev has any forward momentum
    2
  105. Zelensky got what 70% of the vote, hard to beat that in any democracy, I believe polling shows him with 90% support currently

  106. Hello Ivan

  107. By the time countries openly discuss these things the training is already or almost already completed.
    2
  108. It endangers your life and all our lives, what happens if we lose a war?
    2
  109. This is the corrupt establishment kicking the can down the road, eventually their corrupt system will collapse. This is not capitalism, it is zombie capitalism with the markets manipulated by the oligarchs and their government puppets. As many have pointed out losses are socialized by the wealthy and powerful with the working class taxpayers paying for their losses. We need a French Revolution 2.0 worldwide.
    2
  110. Do not discount the rumors Russia will partially blow its OWN nuclear plant in Kursk in addition, they could blame Ukraine and NATO and unify the Russian public they hope for the war and do a full mobilization draft.
    2
  111. KICK TURKEY AND ITS DICTATOR ERDOGAN OUT OF NATO NOW
    2
  112. The pro EU globalist wing of the party led by Rishi Sunak and Jeremy Hunter has led two de facto coups against PMs, the Conservative Party is dead, they represent no conservative values at all. Penny may be even worse than Rishi and Jeremy. The party is just Labour lite. The actual conservatives need to walk out.
    2
  113. Only the US, Poland and now Finland in NATO field adequately sized military's, Britain needs more of everything.

  114. South Africa is run by Marxists, they will always side with Russia and China against the West.
    2
  115. They are controllable with small back up engines
    2
  116. I heard Biden vetoed Wallace? The US and UK and our Eastern European allies should only accept the new NATO head from either Eastern Europe or the Nordic countries, considering how the rest of the EU nations have just destroyed their own military, not spending anywhere near the required minimum there is no way anyone from those countries is acceptable as the new NATO head.
    2
  117. Sadly Vilnius is way to close to the border
    2
  118. The whole fighter jet, helicopter, tank refusals have been criminal by the West and especially the US which will not even cough up the 21 old Mig-29's it owns and still has yet to get Ukraine the measly 31 Abrams it agreed to provide, meanwhile the US has 3450 Abrams in mothball storage alone. All of these key tools should have been provided months ago. The West has given Ukraine just enough not to lose but not enough to win.
    2
  119. If he was Muslim this would be memory holed within a couple days by the media, since he was not I expect round the clock coverage for weeks about "right wing terror"
    2
  120. My guess they will not land in Odessa but to the West and East of the city. Odessa will be another Stalingrad if they try to take it, the city has some of the world's most extensive underground tunnel systems, most of it unmapped, perfect for a massive resistance movement in urban combat.
    2
  121. Ukraine has every right to attack Russia back, very disappointed Clarke seems to be critical of it.
    2
  122. 2nd day of the war a missile hit within yards of the Polish border.
    2
  123. UK should insist UAE send the executives to the UK for trial
    2
  124. By the time governments announce things like the tanks the crews have already been trained.
    2
  125. Gorgeous city
    2
  126. A compromise on land is unacceptable, Crimea and the Donbass are Ukrainian.
    2
  127. I think there is some confusion about those numbers, it has been reported in numerous sources that between them Ukraine will get 45, the Sky News guy just said 42.
    2
  128. Putin and Russia would not have any issue dropping a tactical nuke or two on Gotland to take it regardless of how that farmer "feels" about nuclear weapons.
    2
  129. Word is Gerasimov has no power now just titles
    2
  130. BINGO
    2
  131. More tradition than anything even when Ukraine ran it. Sochi is better for many reasons.
    2
  132. Who is untrained? The Ukrainian troops have been quite well trained, NATO has been training them since 2014.
    2
  133. BS Russian has invaded its neighbors 4 times since then and that does NOT include its two invasions of semi-independent Chechnya, the FACT IS if Russia's neighbors were not terrified of Russia (for good reason) then there would be no NATO today.
    2
  134. Russia is not an ally of India, they never supported India even once against Pakistan or China. India just has decades of trade links including defense trade with Russia thanks to the tight relationship and anti Western sentiments of the previous Congress Party govt, India has become dependent on that trade.
    2
  135. Ya most "experts" said that 6 weeks ago.
    2
  136. Hard to say the rainy season started early in Spring 22 which really hampered Russia in their invasion but it started very late in Fall of 2022, the Ukrainians were still operating on dry ground the first week or two of November last year.
    2
  137. My guess is Iran did this themselves to rally the population against Israel and the US
    1
  138. Both were coups by the pro EU globalist wing of the party led by Rishi and Jeremy Hunt

  139. Time to give Ukraine the means to conduct large scale attacks on all Russian infrastructure in Western Russia, tit for tat until Putin's power base crumbles.

  140. Theresa May is ten times worse globalist non Conservative than Boris, at least Boris actually seems to love his country

  141. Wokism is the biggest barnacle of them all for all Western nations military, it must be purged if we are to win.

  142.  @davidchamberlain5425  Genghis killed so many people that fallow fields grew into forests cooling the Earth slightly on the other hand a century later the British are still self flagellating over 300 people killed in India

  143. If Thatcher was in power the lockdowns would have been minor and short and the economy would roaring

  144. Everyone involved in this bigoted travesty should be booted from the RAF with a less than honourable discharge, all the wrongly turned down White male candidates brought back and the minority/female candidates who did not qualify under normal standards demoted. Honestly this is treason, knowingly endangering the safety of your entire nation because your primary loyalty is to a cult like ideology of wokeism, aka Cultural Marxism. Wokeism is a fatal cancer on society, either we cut it out or our civilization dies.

  145. UDA still active?

  150. I am no fan of Truss or of Boris but this is the second de facto coup against a Conservative PM by the globalist pro EU types within the party, the actual de facto PM appears to be super globalist China puppet Jeremy Hunt, the new Chancellor who seems to be the one in control, no one with his ties to a hostile foreign state should be anywhere near government, let alone basically running the country.

  160. Woke ideology does NOT come from the US, it is a direct descendent of Cultural Marxism that came out of the Frankfurt School in Germany after WW1, it spread throughout academia in the UK, US, Canada, Australia etc over decades and really started taking control of institutions in the late 1960's in the Western World.

  162. The Wagner leader says a lot of things that are not true to brag, every investigation by Special Councils etc found no evidence Russia did anything more than post internet propaganda in the US elections, we know for a fact now the so called hack never happened, it was a internal person taking evidence via thumb drive. China spreads propaganda 24/7/365 and puts spies close to important people like the driver for Senator Feinstein or the lady "friend" of Congressman Swalwell but no one in the mainstream media wants to talk about these things China has done, as bad as Russia is China is worse and far more dangerous potentially because they are not as incompetent as Russia is and we have allowed them to control much of our economy through unfair trade.

  163. A couple hundred Panavia Tornado's though in mothballs could be given, older but still useful ground attack aircraft. If the UK, Germany, Spain and Italy together just gave 3 Eurofighters each, a total of a dozen it may embarrass the Biden Administration into coughing up some F-16 or F-18's both of which they have a few hundred in mothballs each or at least allow Australia to give the couple dozen F-18's they have mothballed.

  164.  @RudieObias  Two thirds of those US gun deaths are suicide, most of the rest are gun violence with almost all of them illegally obtained, I know I worked at the FBI and we tracked gang gun sources and they got them from their Mexican cartel middlemen, the same people they bought drugs from to sell. Japan has one of the highest suicide rates in the world without guns and many go missing every year that cross organized crime.

  167. Any NATO country that is openly pro Russia or pro China like the new government in Slovakia should immediately face suspension from all NATO planning and military secrets, a pro Russian government could share defense plans and secrets with Russia jeopardizing the national security of all other members. Slovakia should also face suspension from the EU, their citizens are free to choose the West or Russia and they have chosen Russia, yes he only won 23% of the vote but look at the horrific pro Russian views in polling in Slovakia, which is due to a Russian influenced media there.

  172. Russia invaded a neighboring country under Bush, Obama and Biden but not under Trump because they were scared what he MIGHT do. Remember Obama's red line if Russia/Syria used chemical weapons? Well they did and he did nothing, then they tried it under Trump and he bombed a joint Russian/Syrian base killing some Russians, what did Russia do in retaliation? Answer nothing. He warned them not to invade Ukraine or else he would bomb them and they did nothing. Even noted left wing pundits Trevor Noah and Bill Maher have pointed out this likely would have never happened under Trump because the enemy feared him. Your simplistic view of Trump only shows your complete ignorance.

  179. Israel has offered the Palestinians in Gaza and most of the West Bank full independence several times over the years and each time they turn it down because they refuse to acknowledge Israel's right to exist and they refuse to give up claim to Israel itself, basically zero compromise. Palestinians could have had "freedom" decades ago, they turned it down. I used to have sympathy for them until I learned how many times they have turned down independence but Western media and academics never tell anyone that fact. After watching Palestinian civilians celebrate over the dead nearly naked body of that German girl and abusing her corpse there is not an ounce of sympathy I have left for these monsters, as far as I am concerned Israel can wipe Gaza off the map.

  180. I have always been a ardent supporter of Irish unification (and Scottish & Welsh independence), I have family that died for unification, that said why exchange what has become a relatively benign set of rulers in London for an increasingly authoritarian set of rulers in Brussels who seem determined to erase all sense of individual nations and culture? It makes no sense to me, I say be done with both masters. I used to strongly support Sinn Fein and SNP but both (especially the SNP) have really gone off the rails on this globalist BS.

  181. They need to start training HRD Dogs (human remains detection) easiest Search and Rescue discipline to teach a dog IMO, most take to it easily because it is natural instinct to search dead things out.

  227. DUP has raised the hate filled bigoted boogie man of the Papacy for so long they simply do not know how to make any other argument, I was always a Sinn Fein supporter and SNP but their love affair with Brussels to me seems like trading one master for a more authoritarian master far less willing to compromise on anything.

  230. Agreed, its a token gift, the US has 3450 Abrams just in storage alone, mothballed and all the Biden Admin would give is 31 measly tanks months after the delivery of the other Western tanks, the Biden Admin still refuses to give Ukraine even the 21 old Mig-29 fighter jets it oddly owns or a single freaking helicopter, its as if the the Biden Admin does not want Ukraine to win, they just want Russia to be kept busy regardless of how many Ukrainian civilians die.
    1
  231. That kind of threat is the ONLY thing people like Putin, Xi or Hitler understand. If we had not gone the direction of appeasement with Neville Chamberlain we might have avoided the worst of WW2. The trouble is we have too many weak leaders in the West like Macron, Biden and Schultz. Biden has still refuses to even send Ukraine the 21 Mig-29's the US has and his administration has said it "may be illegal" to give Ukraine the seized Russian funds in Western Banks, that is crazy. Too many leaders in the West are giving Ukraine just enough not to lose but not enough to win. Putin's threats still terrifies these weak Western leaders. Your idea of how to deal with this is spot on but I fear they will never adopt this aggressive stance and Putin will continue to press to see where that proverbial red line is, by that time we will be in WW3 because we did not stand firm earlier enough when that could have been stopped.

I saw a Azeri English Language news service discussing wanting to join NATO since they have Russia to the North and Iran to the South, based on street interviews they did the support for NATO was overwhelming for those under 60 yrs old and I know Armenia has had about enough of Russia as well based on angry comments from their PM.

  238. In all these former Soviet Republics the Russians left small minority populations they currently use to destabilize countries or outright take them over as puppet states, Transnistria is only 30% Russian yet Russia provided the manpower and weapons to run the place for Russia. Moldova should outlaw the pro Russian Shor Party and strip supporters of their citizenship and hunt down its exiled leader, in the US we would not tolerate a pro China party attempting to seize the country for Communist China.

Russians are now frantically trying to remove the nuclear weapons from the facility before it is captured. Russia is sending in forces via helicopters who are flying at rooftop level and putting out flares right over people's houses to avoid stingers. Several bombs have been dropped in the Belgorod area by drones one caused a decent explosion and fire. Government sending in busses to evacuate civilians near the incursion area and thousands are fleeing Belgorod causing traffic jams.

  251. The map is seriously misleading, all that red "Russian controlled" is false in most cases they control nothing beyond a major road or two and maybe a few villages and towns in some cases, that is why they are getting ambushed constantly. The only area where they have actual control of large swaths of land is in the South just NE and NW of Crimea, that is in part weather related, it is drier there, not a mud pit like the North and East and they are not confined to improved roads. Most of those red areas have multiple towns and swaths of land controlled by Ukraine.

  252. If this offensive is a failure its 100% on the Biden Administration who still has yet to provide tanks and even the amount promised were a pittance, 31 Abrams out of 3450 Abrams in mothballs alone. This leaves Ukraine with less than half the minimum number experts felt Ukraine needed for the offensive 300-500. As for air power again its 100% on the Biden Administration who have refused to even cough up the 21 Mig-29's the US owns let alone the 150 modern jet fighters needed, the US has held off on allowing its allies to provide their limited excess supplies of fighters until recently now it will be months after the offensive before they get them and the US still has not allowed any US made helicopters to be sent despite hundreds of excess Blackhawks, Little Birds and Cobra's. In addition the US has refused long range weapons like ATACMS that are badly needed. It is almost as if the Biden Administration is intentionally handicapping Ukraine, remember the Obama-Biden Administration refused to even sell any weapons to Ukraine in the 2014 invasion and strong armed its NATO allies to not supply any either.

  270. They need modern jets but no one will give them any because of pressure from the Biden Administration not to, the US will not even give them the old Soviet era 21 Mig-29's the US owns. They also need far more modern tanks than they got, experts say they need 300-500 but they have only got 122, the US still has not delivered the measly 31 Abrams it promised despite having 3450 in mothball storage alone, only the US has the tank numbers to provide what is needed but again the Biden Administration refuses as well as refusing longer range artillery rockets. It really appears the Biden Administration will only give Ukraine enough equipment not to lose but not nearly enough to win thus needlessly prolonging this war and the massive loss of life including vast numbers of innocent civilians along with the continued destruction of Ukraine as a whole. By the way the US dollar numbers in aid are grossly inflated due to Pentagon mis-accounting such as a 40-50 year old M113 APC which cost originally say $250k but thanks to depreciation is valued at just $25k now is being charged against the Ukraine aid package at what it would cost to build a new M113 today at $500k as an example, yet it is not being replaced, it was replaced years ago by Strykers which themselves are now going to be replaced, they also double billed for $12.5 billion against the Ukraine aid packages, billed $7.5 billion in NATO projects to Ukraine aid package and several hundred million in a US energy independence program to the Ukraine aid package. The Biden Administration is robbing both Ukraine and US taxpayers with these accounting games.

Texas can pass a law similar to the law Spain has where they can try anyone from anywhere for crimes against humanity.

  278. Russia has been shocked to find the Ukraine they are facing militarily in 2022 is NOT the Ukraine they faced in 2014, this is a army that completely redid itself from a old Soviet era force to a modern military patterned structurally after NATO nations and trained by NATO nations. In addition they are an extremely patriotic motivated defending army led by Officers and NCO's that had years of experience fighting in the Donbass against Russian "volunteers" as well as over 5000 Ukrainian troops who fought in Iraq against a Russian force with almost no combat veterans and lacking NCO's with experience or battlefield authority to make decisions.

  284.  @spkcorny  Normal weather variation, FYI I am a firefighter since the mid 80's this is nothing new, look at a history book and major wild fires have been going on since recorded history, in fact in most areas less rainfall goes in conjunction with cooling temps (less evaporation) such as the cooling period that followed the wet and war Minoan Warm period.

  288. The Soviet Union/Russia did this by drawing insane borders of the old Soviet Republics, purposely putting one ethnic group surrounded almost by another, Azerbaijan for example is literally split in two pieces and go look at the Central Asian former Soviet Republics with multiple exclaves. The Soviets/Russians did this on purpose, "divide and conquer".

  292. The media love negative news, more clicks. Zalensky at times has bags under his eyes the size of a purse, the man is exhausted and on edge. None of this would be happening if Obama had lived up to the Budapest agreement during the 2014 invasion, instead he did the exact opposite, embargoing arms to Ukraine and arm twisting the rest of NATO to do the same, much of this tragedy lies at the feet of Obama.

  293. Khan took a step towards becoming an authoritarian despot like his allies Putin and Xi. Khan has put Pakistan in a situation where it is no longer neutral and faces getting dragged into WW3 by his allies.

  295. The NATO thing is an excuse, he knows NATO would never invade Russia without Russia attacking first and he knows Ukraine before the war had almost no chance of getting into NATO or even the EU, his invasion made that far more likely to happen. Putin invaded because he wants to recreate the Russian Empire to leave it as his legacy, that is what this was about, he is 69 and reportedly has a cancer which makes him incredibly dangerous, I think he does not care what happens to Russia if they fail him, much like Hitler felt the Germans deserved their fate if they failed him.

  296. The West is complaining about the lack of progress of Ukraine's offensive when they refuse to provide modern jet fighters, not a single Western helicopter provided, extremely limited long range weapons, forbid Ukraine from using the weapons provided to strike Russia, provided less than half the required tanks experts said were the minimum number required (300) etc. But hey they should just be able to march right through the most extensive mine fields in the history of war and hundreds of miles of multi layered trenches, no problem.

  297. Israeli and all Western Intel agencies are guilty of a massive failure here, how the heck could Hamas have planned something this big without a single major Intel agency getting wind of it? Heads need to roll in Intel agencies from Jerusalem, to Washington to London.

  298. Israel struck the embassy in retaliation for Iran funding Hamas, Hezbollah and the Houthis who are all attacking Israel and one of the Generals killed was the Iranian General that gave Hamas the go ahead order for the October 7th massacre. The Biden Administration claiming Israel gave them this problem is outrageous, maybe they should look in the mirror concerning the tens of billions they have given Iran thus allowing Iran to spend even more on its military proxies.

  300. Joe Biden will not even cough up the 21 old Soviet Mig-29's the US owns, I doubt he will ever approve F-16's or F-18's, there is 122 modern Western tanks given to Ukraine not a single one from America so far, still waiting on the 31 promised, just 31 when the US has 3450 Abrams just in mothball storage alone.

  301. Who cares? None are actual conservatives, Rishi is a corrupt globalist loved by the WEF and CCP, Penny is completely woke and belongs in the Labour Party or Lib Dems and Liz Truss was a adamant remainer and a former radical Lib Dem and is still a devoted globalist. With Kemi gone so is the future of the UK because Labour will now win in two years because it will just be Labour vs Labour lite.

  302. BS it was "perfectly set" Ukraine has almost no air force, no NATO operation would ever proceed without air domination and we have given them less than half the MINIMUM determined number of modern main battle tanks required as estimated by experts, extremely limited long range strike weapons such as no ATACMS, zero helicopters etc. We are setting up a situation where Ukraine cannot win, we give them just enough not to lose so we can bleed Russia. I do not blame Europe they simply do not have the resources, everyone in Europe except France has given what they can excluding air power. The blame lies with the Biden administration who has refused to even give Ukraine the 21 old Mig-29's the US owns, refused ATACMS long range weapons and promised a measly 31 Abrams tanks out of a mothball fleet of 3450 tanks! and they still have not delivered them.

  303. The West, especially the US are providing Ukraine with just enough old equipment to not lose quickly but certainly not enough to win and end this war and the loss of life quickly. Ukraine is only getting 60 Leopard 2 tanks and 14 Challenger 2 tanks, not enough to make a real difference, we should hardly even talk about the pathetic US contribution of 31 Abrams in a year or more, the US has 3450 Abrams tanks just in STORAGE alone, but can only manage 31 a year from now because they insist on building them new (probably for a political kickback from the manufacturer $), they claim it is to replace depleted uranium armor with tungsten but that process could be completed in weeks on stored tanks. The US could give 200-300 stored tanks and still dwarf the rest of the entire worlds combined supply of modern tanks. The US as well has stubbornly refused to even give Ukraine the 21 Mig-29's the US owns to play war games with and refuses to even discuss giving F-16's or F-18's or attack helicopters despite having hundreds of the F-16 and F-18 in storage along with hundreds of newly retired Cobra attack helicopters. In Europe Britain has what 200 mothballed ground attack Panavia Tornado jets? Britain could certainly manage a couple dozen to Ukraine as could Germany and Italy. Again we are giving Ukraine just enough to not lose quickly, meanwhile people die and Putin will win any war of attrition.

  304. NATO only exists because of unending centuries of Russian aggression towards its neighbors, Russia has invaded and occupied territory of its neighbors 4 times in just the last 30 years and that does NOT include its two invasions of the semi-independent Chechnya.

  306. We seemed to have learned nothing from WW2, being weak and appeasing people like Hitler and Putin encourages them to take more, more people will die unless we stop him here and now, the man is right in what he said. Western leaders are so afraid of the big bad Putin they will not even send those old Soviet era fighter jets to Ukraine, pathetic.

  311. Why is the West being such pathetic pansies regarding giving Ukraine these old Mig's, intimidated by Putin's threats, pathetic. Russia gave all kinds of Jets and "volunteer" pilots to North Korea and North Vietnam in both those wars, supplying a country planes to defend itself is not an act of war, get a spine NATO.

  316. Your missing the obvious, they have a base with 1500 soldiers in Transnistrian puppet state within Moldova plus the use of 7000 man Transnistrian Army (not including reserves, so a few thousand more) reports of the Russians right now flying in more men, then there is attack route number two, a naval landing well West of Odessa in the Ukrainian Panhandle Dneister delta region which is sparsely populated and lightly defended, that would be a very short push North to link up with their Transnistrian forces, at that point Moldova is in a lot of trouble not to mention it allows Russia to attack Odessa from East and West and attack any supply corridor to the city from the North, it even would allow them if they could get in enough artillery to slow down the supply routes into Ukraine from Poland via Northern Transnistria/Moldova.
