I’ve noticed that some very overt, un-subtle, very pro-Russian, pro-Putin English language accounts are active today. Did I just stumble into something that has been here for awhile, or has the Russia 2024 US election influence program kicked off in earnest?

Election 2024: You Asked for It, America. Mr Williamson pulls no punches and spares no one, including you and me. Muscular writing by a patriot. Worth a close read. Perhaps more than one. As Walt Kelly famously said: we have met the enemy and he is us.” wsj.com/politics/elect…

The war in Ukraine united Europe as never before. The new Israeli-Hamas war is dividing Europe. Arabs are demonstrating in mases for Palestine, while Jews are scared. This is likely to have lasting, bad political consequences. In Europe, Russia appears the big winner.

This Opinion Piece by Herr Dopfner is about as clear an assessment of the current international situation as I've come across recently. One has to hope that officials in the US and EU are giving it a good hard read. The time is now if not already past.

UK Defence Secretary Ben Wallace made unwanted headlines with his comments about 'gratitude' and 'Amazon' over Western aid to Ukraine, but his press briefing at Nato contained some fascinating, and largely unreported, intel on Kyiv's counter-offensive. 1/

I challenge @Kasparov63 to debate me on chess... and if he refuses, despite my offer of $100, that's because he is afraid and knows I'm a better player.
