Boris Johnson at the recent NATO Summit just about symbolises our current standing on the world stage. Everything about this screams cringe.

Some of the stories coming out of Ukraine are horrendous and just shows that we should back them against the thugs from Russia!

Incredible video, it was shocking the state this country was allowed to be in under the Conservative led media that destroyed Corbyn.
Even more shocking would be the situation the world would have been in had Putin supporting Trump won another election, almost certainly we would have been led down the path of supporting this "special operation" rather than being embarrassed into condemning it.

Top marks to the members of the Greek Parliament who walked out on Zelensky’s pro-neo Nazi messaging.

Different things. I’m trying to point out that there is evil on both sides.

Not that many neo nazis left in the Azov regiment nowadays, a lot left after they were absorbed into the regular armed forces. They are ultra nationalistic though, not sure if that makes them all evil. If you want an example of pure evil here it is -  His name is Alexei Bychkov. He claimed that his videos involving an infant - which he uploaded onto his telegram account, happened whilst he was serving in Ukraine. Apparently hackers connected to the Anonymous collective discovered then posted his identity and personal details online, after which it appears he may have been detained by Russian authorities. I understand the news of this abuse is spreading like wildfire amongst the Ukrainian military, god help the next poor Russian troops they capture. There are still links to videos swirling around out there - do not look to see what all the fuss is about. |

If there's one comforting thing that can be taken from this it's that Russia army actually seems pretty shit.

Well it is in a way because it’s always been seen as political voting. In this instance Europe and Australia have shown support for Ukraine by voting for them. |

In this instance Europe and Australia have shown support for Ukraine by voting for them. Or maybe they just liked the song? Yes I suspect they could have performed anything and won this year, but I did think it was one of the standout entries. Conversely, I didn't like our song much personally, but it does show that while "political voting" does exist, it is possible for the UK to do well and that they're not just voting against us because of Brexit, Iraq or whatever. |

Concern is they’re now going to have to spend millions hosting the event on top of the billions to rebuild and recover the country.
It wasn’t the best song, and you can tell the European public voted politically (the judging panels voted fairly on music only), but it wasn’t actually that bad - it was catchy.

Lord Richard Dannatt, the Head of British Army between 2006 and 2009, was on Murdoch’s Talk Radio today, advising that Zelensky should start negotiating with Russia now as “Russia is not going to lose”. He says there is no chance Ukraine will win this war as it simply doesn’t have the strength against Russia and the West and NATO will not get involved beyond sending them weapons as they have been doing for months.
Jeremy Corbyn said the same thing before a single bullet was fired. He said peace negotiations were the only way to resolve the conflict, and that war would lead to death and destruction and resolve nothing. He was roundly condemned for his comments at the time. Since then, much of Ukraine has been utterly destroyed and thousands of lives have been lost. And for what? So weapons manufacturers could make a bunch of money? So people like Boris Johnson could grandstand and cosplay as Churchill on a few occasions, while ultimately doing nothing? So Keir Starmer could stick on some army gear and look ‘statesmanly’ for a campaign video to try and get some of those armed forces votes that always go to the Tories?
Now people like Dannett are on Murdoch’s platforms, saying what everyone with a brain knew had to happen from the very beginning, and he will be celebrated for saying it.
It’s all a big show to cover the fact that this war was simply good business for weapons manufacturers. Now it has served its purpose, the powers that be want it over
