russia really needs to feel over extended in Europe ... pretty much the only way russia is going to recognise international boarders / sovereign states is when it can't extend .... Anywhere.
Russia’s inaction over Venezuela, Iran and Syria, however calculated, reveal signs of overextension. Aggression against Ukraine is costing Russia its global ambitions elswhere. https://bit.ly/4pFUlOA
Venezuela shows Russia has lost the initiative in Trump’s global order
Moscow has prioritized the war in Ukraine over its commitments in Venezuela, Syria and Iran as Trump reshapes the world order.

There’s a new story doing the rounds about RMT General Secretary Eddie Dempsey and Ukraine.
It’s worth commenting on, not because the Telegraph suddenly cares about Ukraine (it doesn’t), but because of what an RMT spokesperson has chosen to say in response.

The RMT are a disgrace to the Union movement .. especially when you consider how heroic Ukrainian railway workers are. The NUM, PCS and Unison are unions that have paired with Ukrainian unions
Utterly disgusting to read this about Eddie Dempsey, leader of @rmtunion.bsky.social which also has serious questions to answer, allowing him to become leader.
I'd like to think hard working members will refuse to pay their subs until RMT explains why its leader supports colonialism + genocide.

Why is Ukraine left without missiles that protect civilians and civilian infrastructure from illegal russian attack?
Until this morning, Ukraine had no missiles left for air defense systems, Zelenskyy said. A major package arrived this morning.
Launchers without missiles can’t protect cities. When deliveries move slowly, Ukraine pays in blood and lives. Words don’t intercept strikes. Air defense does.

Shameful that Europe is leaving Ukraine unprotected.
Several Ukrainian air defense systems ran out of missiles until a new shipment arrived this morning, Zelensky said. He noted the munitions are now in Ukraine but came at a heavy cost in lives and effort.
