Holy shit. In order to make himself look impressive to President Trump and the rest of the world at the G7 last week, Keir Starmer staged a FAKE RAID on a merchant vessel claiming it was a Russian ship illegally transporting sanctioned oil.
Turns out, according to US and European military experts, the whole raid with British commandos was “stage managed” and that they faced no actual opposition when they first boarded the civilian vessel. The dead giveaway was how camera operators were positioned at strategic angles to show operators descending down stairs and through corridors.
There was no resistance and there were never any Russian forces onboard. Starmer just wanted to make the world think that he was tough on Russia.
To draw attention away from the release of Rupert Lowe’s rape gang inquiry, the government’s propaganda arm, the BBC, took to blaming outrage over the grooming gangs, the “far right”, and Islamists, on Russia. The police did not even confirm the report. The midwits in the liberal intelligentsia ate it all up and some MPs called for tougher action against Russia.
It’s all so tiresome.
Constipated adenoidal sclerotic dull devious doubtful dickhead. You were the worst. You made Liz Truss look competent made Sunak seem spectacular made Johnson look honest. You were the WORST prime minister we had. A whole nation will rejoice that you are GONE! May you plunge into a slough of despond and sink in it for ever. George Galloway, leader of the @WorkersPartyGB in exile.
Zelensky says the strike on Moscow was our “response.”
To me, the real “response” was yet another exchange of soldiers’ bodies at a ratio of one Russian for every sixteen Ukrainians.
That, unfortunately, is the most devastating response of this war - not another stupid PR for social media.

🧱 U.S. Strategy Reset: Trump Comes Face-to-Face with the Limits of Power re Iran
Dr. Arta Moeini (@ArtaMoeini) reveals the hard truth in the latest Deep Dive: "Donald Trump has come to realize the hard way that he can’t destroy the Iranian nuclear program… and he can’t destroy the Iranian ballistic missile program. These are deeply defended within mountains."
Moeini insist that Trump can't destroy the programs "unless he wants to actually commit millions of ground troops. And 100,000, 200,000 are not going to cut it."
And now, by shifting his public tone, Trump is “signaling to the Iranians that I see you as a real nation state.” — shifting from belittling leaders as "Taliban or cavemen." These changes by President Trump exposes that, belatedly, he has come to recognize - despite what he said in the Axios interview last Friday - that there *are* limits to American power and just desiring something isn't enough, especially when the opponent is a country of 90 million, about the size of Western Europe, and has a majority of its land covered in granite mountain ranges.
The ramifications of this realization by the U.S. president could be profound - as long as he does not revert to old ways and ignores the hard limits to power.

🇷🇺🇺🇦Russian Forces Continue Encircling Ukraine's Remaining Donbass Strongholds
▪️Despite claims across Western media Ukraine has "turned the tide," Russian forces continue their incremental advances including toward the most heavily fortified positions within the Donbass;
▪️The city of Konstantinovka (1) is being encircled with sections of the city already admittedly held by Russian forces according to pro-Ukrainian Live UA Map;
▪️The same pro-Ukrainian map admits the presence of Russian forces inside Lyman (2) to the north;
▪️Following the taking of Konstantinovka and Lyman, Russia will enhance its ability to target Slavyansk and Kramatorsk with drones and other precision-guided weapons to complicate logistics, rotating forces, sending reinforcements, weakening the defense of these strongholds as well;
▪️ Slavyansk and Kramatorsk are the two remaining strongholds in the Donbass held by Ukraine - following their fall, Russia will control the entire Donbass region - a key objective of the SMO;
