Exactly 80 years ago this precise moment (8:40am Hamburg time, Nov. 30, 1945), German submarine commander Heinz-Wilhelm Eck and two of his former subordinates on the U-852 were shot by Allies in Hamburg for killing the survivors of a ship they had sunk. Pete Hagueseth needs to lawyer up immediately.
The Peleus War Crimes Trial
After sinking the Greek steamer Peleus in 1944, the captain ordered his crew to attack the survivors, three sailors survived and faced their attackers in a war crime trial.

Russia must be defeated for Europe to achieve lasting peace.
Former Commander-in-Chief Valerii Zaluzhnyi believes the most realistic end to the war may be a prolonged pause in fighting, with both sides using the time to rearm and prepare for future clashes.
"Victory is the collapse of the Russian empire. Anything less is just continued war," he stated.

Oh dear. Open goal missed.
It's not "the Brexit deal" that's the problem. That's the Labour line. That framing leaves the door open to the notion that a different Brexit deal might have worked.
No. Brexit itself is the problem. Inherently unworkable.

Imagine having to defend Brexit now that we have experienced Brexit. That would be the road to nowhere Farage and his ilk would find themselves on.
And most businesses would NOT stay silent second time around. Not if their damage could be fixed.
