Lavröv should be talking about Russia's readiness for unconditional surrender. It would after all be the realist position.

Yet another important milestone has been achieved. Not having a federalised intelligence collating agency was a hinderance for our Security effectiveness during wartime needs.

This is an incredible shift in policy as Japan more closely aligns itself with EU on the Global Stage.

Am I the only one noting that the US is at spot 48 out of 60 on this list? Definitely down in the bottom now.

This is an incredibly important shift in range. To a lay person this might sound trivial, but to an expert it heralds a paradigm shift in abilities on the Ukrainian side.

Russian Tiger applies fuel sanctions inside of Russia. Question is what a Russian tiger will do with gasoline?

Germany knows full well that it was not Ukraine that liberated Europe from the Nordstream Invasion Shackles. Other heroes blew up Nordstream, but they shall remain a secret for 72 more years. Germany, end this charade.

Another day in the glorious Russian empire. Now they are attacked by poison beetles.

Doobedoobedoop! 😊

Remember that it is not true before Russia produces salty tears. Yes, we are forming an agency to counter enemy AgitProp and to perform PsyOps against our enemies.

Fellas, I point out that EU is now hiring PsyOp and Counter-PsyOp specialists, and information/counter-information specialists. NAFO is a huge merit. Open for all EU-Fellas. Step 1 to apply: Ability to find the application webpage (no, I'm not joking). Welcome to Serve!

EU tinkering away diiligently on the downfall of Russia. This is a good move that will make a difference.

Note that Trump is not president of the European Union. Druzhba is blown up, and the Turkstream runs through other EU countries that are sanctioning the gas going to Hungary.

EU Naval Forces under secondment to Operation Atalanta drove off the Somali Pirates and freed the crew of the tanker. Good work, more work remains to be done. www.bbc.com/news/article...

And we are now back at this point in the news cycle. Just pointing out that this is the 5th time that this is hitting the news cycle. Just saying.

As per his usual Strelkov is very clear in his analysis. The end of Russia is at Kramatorsk/Slovyansk, not Pokrovsk. The beginning of the end was The Third Battle of Kharkiv, and Kramatorsk will be the final nail in the coffin of Russia.

Proof that Bulls prefer EVs! 😁 Good morning world!

I feel that we need to clarify this one since this article contains mostly errors. The nuclear bomber concept was a series of studies for the JA-37 Viggen aircraft, and was never designated A-36 Vargen. The 1300-series of studies... 1/4

And here we have the Winner of the Internet Award for today. Russian Incel Submarine... DEDD!!!

For those that missed this very clear interview with Defence Commissioner Kubilius.

My dear friend Christian has a great sense of humour, something very evident from the choice of music set to his speech.

Next time you believe in Russian "wunderwaffen" read this. Save it for future reading, because you will need it again and again... Also, share it for others that will need it again and again. They. Do. Not. Exist. In. Reality.

Hence why I dubbed it the Blue Footed Booby. I'm Swedish after all.

Ukrainian Defenders have liberated a Russian, checking notes: Battle Camel. Nothing says 21st Army of the World like having to rely on Battle Camels.

Somehow we knew it would happen! Oh wait, the ship... Well, it is a great analogy for the reality of the Divided States, they should just have renamed it thusly.

Expecto Crashum! This is happening more and more in Russia. Try running a country as big as Russia without air travel.

That is an ungodly amount of drones...

Gripen - A True Thread! As per his usual Sushko got the basics almost right, and thereafter he veered off into the ditch. So, let us clarify all things Gripen related to Ukraine. Let us begin with that there confusingly enough are two completely different Gripen planes. 1/12

EU continues to spread its wings ever Eastwards. One deal at a time we increase our influence, and spread the rules based world order into new territories, creating a better future for everyone. EU is the future.

If you don't believe that the EU sometimes does things just for shits and giggles, here a story for you. Sanctions package 19 included this and a ban on sales of toilets to Russia. Ponder it... if that isn't shits and giggles, what is?

Since nobody noticed. Hungary was not allowed to attend, and Ukraine replaced Hungary in the meeting. And the NB8 basically ran the meeting so hard that it was akin to a coup from the group of Hawks. Good day for Europe, bad day for Russia.

The rate of surrenders and liberated villages is now slowly creeping upwards as Russia continues to drop in combat power due to an increasing lack of heavy equipment.

The reality is that EU is playing Trump to get what we want, and that makes it impossible for Trump to sell out to Putin. Give agency where agency is due.

It is a good day for Ukraine, it is a good day for EU, and it is a good day to be Sven. Now we just wait for the customary nuclear threats from Medvedev against Sweden as the icing on the cake. I love to have had miniscule hand in this. Je suis Sven!

And there goes my well laid plans to arrest Putin to shit. Sigh...

Dear Americans! Either you bombed a boat from either the Columbia in South Carolina, or Washington District of Columbia, or you truly suck at geography and meant the country of Colombia with an O in it.

EU will stand behind Ukraine until victory, or a peace deal is made based on Ukrainian demands. We will continue to help Ukraine whatever Trump and Putin may wish, and we have the means to do so indefinitely if needed.

This would be a mistake. Either you are a full member or not. The way to fix the "hungary" problem is to go from veto to qualified majority vote. I do not like the idea of second-rate member states.

Block this one preemptively. Has a nasty habbit of reporting Fellas.

The Mighty One has arrived. Practice your walking skills Fellas! There will be an exam performed by Marv.

As warnings go... Russia should not dick about, they do not have enough dicks to dick with. I hope they will remember this from now on.

Is Hogsbreath sober? Has Hogsbreath had a shower? I shall soon find out.

It should also be noted that Sweden and SAAB are further along with their 6th Generation Program than FCAS is.

ISW is for once nailing something. Russia doesn't have the pool of ablebodied men to do a mass-mobilisation. So they will continue to slow roll mobilisation to stay on the battlefield.

This is a very good observation. And the reason for why we might never truly lift all the sanctions, or open the border back up fully. The obvious answer is to balkanize Russia into stamp-sized micro-nations, that can be dealt with individually.

Why Average Weight of Fire per Soldier is so important - An Explainer! Civilians tend to get all excited by large armies, and this is why so many are impressed each time Russia finds 100K soldiers for their army. But soldiers are not a good measure of how effective an army is. 1/22

It is important that EU continue on the road to becoming an Electrostate, otherwise we will be sharing the civilisational and technological backwaters with the DSA. If we are to dominate China, we must double down on the path to being a strong Electrostate.

This will make it much harder to recruit new contract soldiers, and some may even walk off now that pay is cut drastically.

DEDD!!!

And then there was this.
