Mass Arrests Follow Violent Far-Right Demonstrations Across the UK
Don't have a wife and my kid is British. I think their concerns are justified. A lot of migrants - mostly young military age men - are coming in and they are not integrating, and they are committing crimes (particularly against women and children). They have extremist ideologies and are a big problem. -

Look forward to Chompers comment on this. If they were carrying weapons they MUST have been thugs, and the question of course, bearing in mind the convention is to label thugs, is WHAT KIND of thugs. -

One dead, 30 injured in Singapore Airlines emergency landing
The Singapore Airlines aircraft, registration 9V-SWM, which suffered the damage during the turbulence is today flying the route Singapore to London Heathrow, for the first time since returning to service. Tomorrow it will do the return journey, and no passengers will be made aware of this fact, that this plane for the first time in almost 11 weeks, is repeating that flight. -

Striking Back: The West's Need for a Stronger Response to Russia's Hybrid War
It is true that James Baker's promise of "iron clad guarantees" that NATO would not expand eastwards was first given to the then USSR, but of course later Warren Christopher repeated the same to Yeltsin, then leader of the new Russia. Whilst Christopher lied about it, and the transcripts of his meeting were classified in the West, they have now been declassified and lo and behold: "Declassified documents from U.S. and Russian archives show that U.S. officials led Russian President Boris Yeltsin to believe in 1993 that the Partnership for Peace was the alternative to NATO expansion, rather than a precursor to it, while simultaneously planning for expansion after Yeltsin’s re-election bid in 1996 and telling the Russians repeatedly that the future European security system would include, not exclude, Russia." https://nsarchive.gwu.edu/briefing-book/russia-programs/2018-03-16/nato-expansion-what-yeltsin-heard It is no true that the US has never shown intent to put nuclear weapons in Poland, in fact Poland requested this and there have been negotiations to share US nuclear weapons with Poland. https://www.defensenews.com/global/europe/2024/04/22/polish-president-wants-nato-nukes-for-deterring-russia/ It is true, however, that Russia's economy is smaller than Texas' economy. That is precisely the reason why this proganda of Putin invading Europe to reconstitute Imperal Russia or the Soviet Union is so silly. Military might is built on economic foundations. For this reasonalone Putin could never invade European countries and occupy them long term. Even occupying Ukraine would be beyond Russian capabilities, which is also why they can't do it. However, to argue that Putin squandered Russian resources in orde to gain popularity, when he was already the most popular man in Russian politics is not really convincing. The alternative that Putin really considered Ukrainian accession to NATO an existential threat is far more convincing to explain the invasion. Equally, Russia is wasting more resources than it is gaining, it has made no attempts to invade and occupy the Western Ukraine, and some of the juicier areas full of resources are not occupied by Russia. Again, the alternative, that Russia felt misled, deceived and afraid of Western encirclement by NATO expansion is far more likely an explanation. -
