1/ Russian warblogger Nikita Tretyakov is "thinking the unthinkable" about the war in Ukraine and its disastrous consequences. He lists a long series of catastrophes that he says have befallen Russia since February 2022, and the Russian weaknesses that they have exposed. ⬇️

Trump threatens NATO if it doesn’t support him on Iran.
Trump chose war to deflect attention from Epstein files, economic consequences of his tariff wars.
It is not NATO/UK war.
Can't rely on US. Europe must become self-reliant for defence, essential goods/services or be a vassal state for the US

“The government will not tolerate energy firms profiteering from the rising price of oil… the competition watchdog is primed to step in to prevent… price rip-offs” Ed Miliband
Is this the same government (and watchdog) that allowed 6 Energy price increases in 18mths, adding an extra 25% on bills?

It’s already happening. Iran attacked a desalination plant in Bahrain.
This war has to end immediately. If it turns into a water war we will be dealing with a whole different level of a humanitarian catastrophe across the region.

Mandelson’s malign influence runs right through the heart of this Government.
Not least in the govt’s NHS data deal with Palantir – a spy-tech firm co-founded by a man who thinks the NHS should be ‘ripped up.’
I've written to Wes Streeting urging him to ditch this dangerous deal.

So,as a little thought-experiment, tell me something about the United Kingdom that works well and is actually quite impressive. I am not trying to sound like some boosterish politician. I just genuinely believe that making people believe that all is lost is a convenient pretext for shady characters.
