The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

The cat’s out of the bag! Farage's Tory turncoats would replace our NHS with an insurance system. We can't let Reform UK anywhere near it. Labour built the NHS. It’s now on the road to recovery. With Labour’s NHS, whenever you’re ill, you’ll never have to worry about the bill!

Have you seen Reform's plan to cut our NHS and give the wealthiest a tax cut? youtu.be/TN3lGQzTpu4?...

ALEX PRETTI I didn’t know him but I know what he did as a VA nurse now. I know what he tried to do yesterday in helping a woman stand up, only to be pepper sprayed and executed by ICE. America what has happened to you? You had a choice and you were warned this would happen. How many more?

#UKRAINIANVIEW PEACE TALKS GOING IN CIRCLES, RUSSIAN MILBLOGGERS BEMUSED AS WAR GOES ON The latest from the peace talks is that they’re going around in circles, with, unsurprisingly, the Russians demanding territory they have no chance of conquering as their military flounders and the frontlines

Saturday morning in Kyiv. I woke up to no heat, no water, no electricity. Switched on the EcoFlow, made warcoffee. No, they won’t break us.

RUSSIAN TANK NUMBERS HAVE COLLAPSED WIYJ RESERVES MOSTLY GONE Covert Cabal released their latest analysis of Russias tank reserves and they’re shockingly bad. From zero T-90’s to barely over 100 T-80’s and most of them not useable. The few hundred T-72’s are considered largely unusable.

Almost all of Murmansk is without electricity, water, and heating. The cause is cited as a network failure. A similar situation reported in Severomorsk, which is the headquarters of the Russian Northern Fleet and their nuclear naval forces. Not enough, all russian cities must be like this

RUSSIAN BOND SERVICING COSTS SPIKE TO 7.2% The costs of servicing government debt has soared to 7.2%, with some sectors of the market reaching 11%. Unable to borrow on the international markets the costs are becoming unsustainable. Printing money is the only way out of this mess and with inflation

RUSSIA REACHES AN INFLECTION POINT Russia has reached a point where it can no longer afford to recruit the numbers of men it needs. The days of 30,000 a month lured by high bonus contracts and the pretence of high pay are gone. The regional governments, many facing bankruptcy are barely getting by.

🇫🇷 Footage of the capture of the oil tanker GRINCH by French special forces, which was en route from Murmansk in the Mediterranean Sea. The operation was carried out in conjunction with British intelligence. The landing involved a multi-role Caiman Marine helicopter.

This is where we are at. For what? For nothing. For stupidity. For ego. For an old, demented malignant narcissist who expects the world to jump at his every whim. Well, when you follow international news you can see that the world has pretty much had enough of his bullshit.

It's bizarre that some politicians are trying to behave as if the US president were sane, or capable of reason or moral judgement.

EUROPEAN DEFENCE EXCLUDING AMERICA? It is no secret that it is being discussed in the background. Mark Rutte made his speech last week saying that NATO will do the job - even if the US backs out. I think he’s right. NATO includes those who are not in the EU but willing to defend Europe collectively

Pew Research Institute (2023): • Red State Texas has about 2.1 million undocumented immigrants • Red State Florida has 1.6 M undocumented immigrants • Blue State Minnesota has 130,000. And yet only Minnesota is being occupied by masked thugs over "immigration." It's *not* about immigration.

🇺🇦🇺🇸🇫🇷 May 10, 2025. Trump’s reaction to Zelensky accepting his ceasefire proposal!

Russia: We’ll freeze Ukrainians into submission. Ukrainians: Let’s build a homemade stove from bricks and baking trays. We’ll heat it with candles! Voila! +20°C inside! Russia will never conquer these people!

#UkrainianView UKRAINE’S TACTICAL EDGE IS MAKING RUSSIANS UNEASY Ukraine has developed a tactical position that is making even the hardest milbloggers concerned. Partly because it’s used Russias systemic weakness against them. Ukraine keeps its long range artillery far behind the lines - most of it

Trump Winery bringing in more foreign workers while paying them less per hour than they did in previous years

youtu.be/jZqYFCG3nJo?... For the bigger picture, watch my latest episode. Russia is falling back on the same recycled methods because it has run out of viable alternatives.

ONE WEEK ON AND EXXON DEALS A DEATH BLOW TO TRUMPS AMBITIONS The White House is not happy. A week on from the decapitation of Venezuela’s leadership and Trump seems to think that the oil majors would be tripping over themselves to drain the country of its oil. He has this odd 1950’s view of

WHY WE SHOULD IGNORE THE ORESHNIK ATTACK AND STOP WORRYING There’s a lot of pearl clutching over the Oreshnik attack and all types of people saying we should either be afraid, deterred, or even scared to the point of hysteria over this ‘grotesque escalation’. The target is irrelevant. The missile

🇺🇸🇻🇪 U.S. oil investor to Financial Times on Venezuela: “No one wants to go in there when a random fucking tweet can change the entire foreign policy.”

On the 5th Anniversary of the failed January 6th insurrection attempt, we’re reminded how fragile democracy can be. We must remember the darkness of that day so it’s never repeated. As history is rewritten by some, we choose to speak the truth of what happened.

All they are shaping now is the $hitshow they landed.

youtu.be/J9tiGudbOp4?... THE POWER SHIFT: Russia is no longer shaping the war, it’s defending everything, all of the time. Catch my latest episode. 🎙️ VOICES FROM THE FRONT

Exactly 3 years!

#ukrainianview A LONG NIGHT FOR MOSCOW Ukraine sent in a drone swarm designed to act as decoys, jammers and concealers - allowing a strike to take out enough of the power grid to kill the electricity to 600,000 Muscovites. At last the Russian capital is experiencing what it rains down on Kyiv and

A MILITARY SUMMARY AS WE START THE NEW YEAR In the South the loss of Hulaiapole has yet to be truly felt. Ukraine’s forces were spread thin and expected to defend too much with too little. It resulted in the death of two senior commanders and we’ve seen the pictures of an intact Brigade HQ overrun.

We are taking more responsibility for the protection of peace and security in Europe. It starts with a strong 🇪🇺 defence industry. With our €150 billion SAFE instrument, we're funding pan-European projects - and common defence capabilities. From anti-drones systems to ammunition production ↓

THE EU FINANCE DEAL FOR UKRAINE IS A MAJOR VICTORY I’ve seen a lot of criticism about the deal, that it wasn’t enough and it was a chicken out over the Russian assets held in Belgium. That’s all nonsense and disingenuous, as is the allegation that the EU is ‘taxing its own people’ to pay the loan.

@houserepublicans.bsky.social @senatorjohnthune.bsky.social This is your “leader” that you would do anything for including had over America so he can BANKRUPT just like he has other businesses. This is the GOP party perfect picture of you ALL.

LONDON HEADS OF GOVERNMENT MEETING TODAY There’s been some back handed comments that Ukraine is in that infamous German chess move moment known as a zugzwang, a point where you only have bad moves left to make but you must make a move. I don’t believe that any more now than I did at the start of

‼️What does the 2025 World Press Freedom Index say? ✨ The WPFE shows that the top 15 countries in the world for press freedom are all in Europe 🇪🇺, with 12 of them being EU member states. The other 3 are closely linked to the EU through EEA 🌍 So the EU just wants to force the GAFAM to be transparent!

“The point of modern propaganda isn't only to misinform or push an agenda. It is to exhaust your critical thinking, to annihilate truth.” - Garry Kasparov

Watching Melenchon histrionically calling for an understanding w "the russians" is pure rage bait. Not only does he disregard Ru's crimes, he speaks as if Ukr right to exist is irrelevant. The gall of claiming he stands for equality/human rights while calling to consign Ukr to Ru occupation!

European leaders; Time to act is now. No more talking. Enable Ukraine to win the war, fast. Before the US helps Russia topple our elected governments.

AMERICAN STRATEGIC POLICY IS A GOODBYE NOTE FOR EUROPEAN NATO The policy document outlines a belief the European states are risking their existence as a civilised society. What that means is too many immigrants, changing racial profiles and fewer whites not practising Christianity. It’s that

MERZ & MACRON TELL EACH OTHER WHAT WE ALL NEED TO HEAR In what must be a deliberate leak, the French President in essence tells the German Chancellor that Zelensky must be very careful how he plays this situation now and that in effect, America has sold us all out, and by definition it is no longer

RUSSIA IS SELLING GOLD AT A RATE OF $76.5m PER DAY The national wealth fund it’s selling its gold off on a daily basis and intends to continue to do so until it’s gone, according to Russian sources. The Central Bank is basically issuing ‘printed money’ to buy it. It’s not real notes but quite

#UkrainianView FP-5 Flamingo is now just a month from IOC, and Ukraine starts to exceed Russian capabilities, it's a watershed moment in the war as a whole. Meanwhile Russian system fail as budgets are slashed.

MANIPULATIONS Notice how Witkoff and Kushner were deliberately walked around central Moscow - specifically delayed before their meeting with Putin to do so. The point was to demonstrate how normal everything is that Moscow is untouched by war - and therefore they’re winning. Notice how the table
