North Korean troops are back in action in the Kursk region. They are now using smaller assault groups of 10-15 people instead of the previous 50. Lieutenant Stanislav Krasnov explained that this is part of their new cautious tactics. youtu.be/Rf_lKz_bQO8

Brief thoughts on a European force for Ukraine. I think there is a degree of requirements paralysis. It doesn’t have to be hundreds of thousands of troops, or cover a 1200km contact line. Where it is deployed, and in what role, is more important than the overall size. 1/

I hope people understand what we are seeing here. 1) Trump and Putin are preparing a common plan to dictate to Ukraine. 2) Ukraine will surprise them (at least Trump) by refusing. 3) The War will continue. 4) The role of Europe will be decisive.

Pretty disturbed by some of the Kremlin framing on the Trump talks being bought by parts of the media worldwide. It’s as if the genesis of the war is entirely forgotten. This isn’t a conflict which needs mediation. It was an unprovoked act of aggression. It could end tomorrow if Putin just withdrew.

What British forces are available to secure an Ukraine peace deal? If it's a fighting force, able to deal with the range of air and artillery threats it's hard to see it being more than a battalion group (about 1,200 troops, several dozen armd fighting vehicles) even that 1/

Elon Musk is an idiot on an almost inconceivable scale. He had his high-school toadies pull a random list from a database he doesn’t understand, and on that basis alone decided that 60 MILLION SOCIAL SECURITY ENROLLEES, out of 72 million total, are fraudulent. 83% fraudulent!

If Trump drives a deal with Russia like he did with Afghanistan, not only is it likely to be a bad deal, but the Ukrainians will have no obligation to abide by it.

There is a fundamental issue we need to recognise. A serious Euro force in Ukraine needs US enablement, air defence, air cover & ISR. Those things - enablers, air def, air power & intel - are exactly what many in the Trump admin want to shift from Europe to the Indo-Pacific.

The irony of the richest man in the world almost single-handedly destroying an agency designed to help the world’s poor, so that the U.S. federal budget has more room for another giant tax cut for the richest man in the world and his pals, should not be lost on anyone. [Cartoon by Mike Luckovich]

Embarrassing and humiliating—but also dangerous and destructive—for the U.S vice president to go to Germany and give a pro-AfD speech. The current U.S. administration has aligned itself—not unwittingly but knowingly—with the international assault on liberal democracy.

The combined Finnish and Swedish navies could sink everything Russia has in the Baltic Sea, and the combined air forces could sink every Russian ship and sub not submerged in the western arctic...just thought I'd mention that, so that the US Navy doesn't have to worry about this space :-)
