Anyone who thinks Putin will negotiate is an idiot. Looking at you, Trump.
Putin has finally said the quiet part out loud: he’s ready to fight “to the last Ukrainian”.
In a new statement, Vladimir Putin admitted he is prepared to continue the war “to the last Ukrainian” — an open confession that his goal is not security or negotiation, 👇

Go Greens. This is why I vote Green.
The Greens have secured enviro laws with new protections for native forests & stopped Labor from fast-tracking coal & gas.
We’ve got outcomes that forest campaigners have fought for across decades.
We’ve made it harder for big corporations to keep wrecking our environment.

Australian scientific discoveries improve people’s lives and made the economy more productive – so why is the CSIRO being forced to shed workers again?

And about time too.
Macron says that after a peace deal is signed, "assurance forces" will be deployed beyond the front line, including in Kyiv and Odesa. Nearly 20 countries, among them the UK, France, and Turkey are ready. These won’t be NATO forces but a multilateral coalition acting like NATO’s eastern flank.

Little taste of summer today - 38, and topped off with a tiny thunderstorm and an even tinier rain dump of the rocks on the roof kind. Cat hiding under bed and howling. All done now, but cat still not convinced.

specifically, if I see one more article that doesn’t seem to grasp that Ukrainian FPV drone pilots are almost always on the frontline, in *extreme* danger, and are very regularly killed because their controller signals are easily detectable via electronic warfare methods
begging defense analysts to stop writing stuff that assumes that operating a MQ-9 Reaper and operating a $400 FPV drone is pretty much the same thing and works about the same way
