Hi All, Just released my latest free weekend update. The Battle of Pokrovsk (which we were first told in July 2024 was doomed) might finally be ending. The Russians have slaughtered masses to possibly take it, Ukraine is right not to do the same to hold it. open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

Brilliant, Belgium. You also distinguish yourself by contributing almost nothing as measured by GDP to Ukraine. For crying out loud, Romania contributes a higher percentage of their GDP! #eu #ukraine www.reuters.com/graphics/UKR...

If you look at earlier US sanctions (Biden administration) the Trump gutting of sanctions enforcement in the US, and the ongoing trade war/negotiations with China and India, you will have a better idea of the reality of what Trump is doing.

I really wish the public Danish Radio (Danmarks Radio) would stop breathlessly reporting on every random Trump statement as proof of "turning against Putin". Try reading people like O'Brien before you publish. #dkpol
Take a deep breath. Instead of a typical Trump delay for “2 weeks” in this case he has opted for 4 weeks.

The time for the West to start arming democratic Ukraine to the teeth and imposing crippling sanctions on fascist Russia was... over three years ago.
Putin has been given time to switch his economy to a war footing.
Stopping him now will be much more costly - and risky.

The main lesson from last night for Poland (indeed all NATO in CEE) should be that their defense starts in Ukraine.
Imagine the results if Russians could launch a massive UAV attack on Poland from just over the border in Ukraine?
