So Biden, in a last act of controversy, has released restrictions on the Ukraine using US long range weapons inside Russia. Pressure is now on Starmer.

Is this the democrats reacting to Russia, or stoking the fire on Trumps regime as it vacates the whitehouse.
Troubled waters ahead.

To combat the the thousands of North Korean combatants sent by Kim Jong-Un to help fight the Ukranians. Russia is involving foreign combatants. Ukraine, thus far, hasn't except for a handful of mercenary volunteers. In order to operate the long range rockets, they need US operatives to control them. Russia expands the boundary of combatants, US responds. It seems you may have missed the appearance of several thousand North Korean troops on Ukraine's border.

It isn't beyond the bounds of possibility Biden is bluffing Putin, maybe even having agreed to such a move with Trump, into sending the Koreans back home. Putin isn't particularly popular and the possibility of having Ukraine attack and destroy military airfields and possibly many Russian military personnel would make him even less popular.

One thing I do agree with you on is that there will now be more pressure on Starmer to allow Ukraine to use UK supplied Storm Shadow missiles deep inside Russia.

Putin shouldn't, but will, complain about Ukraine being allowed full use of the US ATACM missiles or, if permitted, UK Storm Shadow missiles. He started the proliferation by bringing in Korean troops and their weapons. Aint karma a bitch.

The million dollar question here is, at what point, if at all, does Putin think the UK/US/EU has crossed a red line and declare war?

Lol. Twice! I am doing well. ‘New meds’? Maybe after Thursday…(Statins perhaps)…feel as if I need them after recent correspondence!

They all answered…avoid!

I'll take any news spreading through x with a pinch of salt. Its only a few weeks since farages mates were spreading news that an announcement was imminent that would see the downfall of starmer. Still waiting on that one.

Also would take very little notice if what Cummings has to say.

[MadAmster]

With regard to Southport. The first news published said he was Welsh. It seems he was born in Cardiff. Would I be correct in saying that's in Wales? Those same reports said he was brought up as Christian, which he was.

Those original reports could only be lies if he a) wasn't born in Cardiff, which he was and b) not brought up as a Christian, which he was.

If someone actually KNOWS at what point the BBC became aware of his "turning" and that turns out to have been before the original broadcasts, then both a) and b) are still true. If none of us KNOWS when the BBC became aware of the lad's radicalisation and at which point they corrected their original story then we CAN"T say they lied. As I wrote in a post at the time. It's very likely the radicalisation, if known at the time, was kept quiet with the express intention of avoiding the rioting we saw. A sensible idea. Unfortunately the usual suspects in public life and trouble causers on X started promoting rumours and asking questions that could have been left a day or two. It was those rumours that caused the rioting. Those who made the "announcements" quite likely got the response they wanted. Riots.

Unanswered, only by Putin himself. That question comes on the table, the closer Putin comes to losing. If he loses, he will be ousted and done away with. What does he have to lose?

So would I, except Cummings has inside knowledge of how Downing street works.
Let me explain this to you. MI5 immediately reports to the goverment, anything that is connected evidence wise to Islamic terrorism. So on that front alone, Starmers government would have been well aware who this guy was/is and his back ground. Yet stuck with the "he's from South Wales" line, like hes the son of a coal miner named Taffy. Lies run deep with UK governments now.

Not all true though is it? Conversely, the rumours said he was muslim and it really does appear, that was very much true, despite government denials. This is word play with twists. The other rumour was he was a recent asylum seeker? Ironically, perpetrated by a muslin in Pakistan, not the usual suspect, you are implying.

Perhaps, just perhaps, the government and police should come clean a lot sooner, rather than play smoke and mirrors.
I will point to the grooming gangs scandal I will quote toy this from wiki
A survivor of the Rotherham Grooming Gang Scandal, Ella Hill, described the serious racial abuse she faced by her attackers - ?As a ****ager, I was taken to various houses and flats above takeaways in the north of England, to be beaten, tortured and raped over 100 times. I was called a ?white slag? and ?white c***? as they beat me.?[28]

Rotherham Council's chief executive, its director of children's services, as well as the Police and Crime Commissioner for South Yorkshire Police all resigned.[29] The Independent Police Complaints Commission and the National Crime Agency both opened inquiries, the latter expected to last eight years.[30][31] The government appointed Louise Casey to conduct an inspection of Rotherham Council.[32] Published in January 2015, the Casey report concluded that the council had a bullying, ***ist culture of covering up information and silencing whistleblowers; it was "not fit for purpose".[33] In February 2015 the government replaced the council's elected officers with a team of five commissioners.[34] As a result of new police inquiries, 19 men and two women were convicted in 2016 and 2017 of ***ual offences in the town dating back to the late 1980s; one of the ringleaders was jailed for 35 years.[35]


Yes, social media can be a platform for false info. But it can also be a platform for hidden truths that the main stream media will not report or talk about.
Today, everyone has an iphone with a camera, The days of denial and censorship are doomed.

I cannot stop laughing, I really can't. You couldn't make Starlins brain up, you really couldn't

Sauce for the goose mate. Your Tory assault at every turn, was a passion. Now politics with a government messing up, doesn't suit you?
Its really poetic.
