On 28 October 1940, Greek Prime Minister Ioannis Metaxas refused to surrender to Fascist Italy. He rejected Mussolini’s ultimatum with a resolute “Όχι” (“No”). The Greek people then fought heroically for their freedom and their motherland.

Russian savages deliberately struck the building of the National University of Pharmacy in Kharkiv.
Meanwhile, the Trump Administration has found yet another excuse not to press putin. To date the only consequences russia has faced are our long-range strikes; there should be far more of them.

Good news for those who admire Ukrainian postage stamps and the Defence Forces that inspire them: a new stamp has been issued to commemorate the unique Spider Web Operation.
We look forward to future operations and the stamps that will mark them.

Does this mean that Trump will abandon his futile attempt to de-Nixon Russia away from China? If so, does it imply that he will instead focus on addressing the Russian problem in Ukraine, ensuring that Russia is no longer in a position to assist its Chinese masters?

The Kyiv Harmonia Orchestra has composed a musical overture entitled “Shahed”, named after the Iranian-designed, Russian-made drones that attack civilians in their hundreds every day.
The overture is dedicated to the valiant Air Defence Forces of Ukraine.

Crimea is the centre of gravity in this war.
Under Russian occupation, Crimea remains a “sword of Damocles”, threatening Ukraine’s mainland and SLOCs. It also serves as a platform for Russian power projection across the Black Sea and into the MENA. 1/6

Trump is very angry with Ukraine over the attacks on the “Druzhba” oil pipeline.
Yet, he imposed tariffs on India for purchasing Russian oil, and in his recent post he stated, “it is very hard, if not impossible, to win a war without striking at the invader’s own country.”

Ceding territory to putin will not stop the war, but demolish the core principles of international law, and encourage would-be aggressors across the globe, particularly in the Indo-Pacific.

That’s called regression. If the Representative rejects modernity, she ought to resign from the House. She has no business holding any public, governmental, or commercial role. She should know her place—Kinder, Küche, Kirche.

UK Defence Intelligence assesses that, at the current rate of advances and losses, Russia would require approximately 4.4 more years to seize complete control of the four Ukrainian oblasts. Such an effort would likely cost Moscow around 1.9 million Russian troops killed or wounded.

I’m not sure about the Nobel Peace Prize, but the directors of the summit certainly deserve a Drama Desk Award and an Eventex Award.
The show was spectacular. I particularly enjoyed the B-2 flyover, though this display of strength has yielded no diplomatic results – quite the opposite, in fact.

Trump walked away with a grand, never seen before, nothing-burger. The war criminal putin, meanwhile, secured diplomatic legitimisation and yet another licence to continue his killings. No punitive tariffs are to follow, and the so-called “persuasion for peace” yielded nothing of substance.

There’s no chance Donald Trump will be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for partitioning Ukraine, endangering Europe, and emboldening would-be aggressors around the world. In that case, he can only aspire to the International Lenin Prize “for Strengthening Peace” — and communism.
