Of course they’re calling for a recount. This is good news the incumbent serving a second term. Experience navigating #Guyana’s off shore reseves. Let’s hope he can spread those benefits around to Guyanese 🇬🇾 people. #GuyanaElections
Guyana: President Mohamed Irfaan Ali (PPP/C, centre-left) has been sworn in for a second and final term after his party won 36/65 parliamentary seats in the September 1st general elections. Opposition parties APNU (left|centre-left) and WIN (*) are seeking recounts.

The #USSGeraldRFord Carrier Strike Group has recently been #training with #Norwegian and other #allied forces off the coast of #NorthernNorway. "Our partnership with US forces is close despite changes in US security policy," says the NJHW Chief. #Arctic https://t.co/bIQ8ZNfEpP
Additional point: On top of that, after #Ukraine stopped letting Russian gas transit its soil, #Russia had to find an alternative route through Romania. It pays weekly for a smaller volume, putting TN on an even tighter Russian leash if they don’t play ball. A good article.
For years, #Moldova’s pro-Russian separative enclave of #Transnistria has benefitted from its ambiguous state: its territorial ‘grey zone’ making customs and tax loopholes possible. #Russia gave TN free oil in return for loyalty, making it cheap for factories to produce goods for export. However, after Russia invaded #Ukraine in 2022, Ukraine sealed its border with Transnistria to prevent Russian soldiers getting through: ‘Overnight, Transnistria lost its all important access to Ukraine’s #Odesa port’, says @polinaivanovva in today’s @FT . #Tiraspol’s shadow economy is in dire straits as a result.https://t.co/YZpA18pLL2 via @ft

The *correct* cost analysis is rather, what are you defending? If you were protecting a $10m MBT, a $1.5m missile is a good trade-off. OK, do you need cheaper methods, too? Absolutely!
Putin’s escalation only strengthens our resolve.
Today the Ukraine Defence Contact Group secured £2bn through the UK-led International Fund for Ukraine to deliver priority military equipment to 🇺🇦
We are grateful to Germany’s Defence Minister Boris Pistorius for co-chairing.
If the PM wants to appoint a political appointee as UK Ambassador to US then David Miliband would be a good fit for Labour or he should appoint Sir Richard Moore.
2. Recorded today. #Russia is is
playing a losing hand. I’ve been following George Friedman for years and later met his nephew Christian, (the interviewer), as a fellow War Studies Masters Student at Kings. There are various indicators in here that show #Trump has the advantage.
