@TheUCS473 Great episode - a microcosm of the Afghan campaign - hubristic planning and hard fighting, We fought the wrong battles in the wrong places - tragic 😢

This is my hearing bundle from the Al Sweady inquiry. It brought an end to my military career after 17 years of exemplary service. The stress, pain, and heartache were overwhelming—driven in large part by Shiner & Hermer.

A medal glitters but it also casts a shadow - Churchill

I find it odd that Pat McFaaden is arguing that Keir Stammer didn’t have a close relationship with Peter Mandelson when the whole point of a political appointee as HM Ambassador is to ensure a strong relationship to No.10

Absolute Whopper Article

"Ireland likes to think of itself as a small, heroic little Republic in a dangerous world, a plucky emerald bauble bobbing bravely against the choppy seas of transatlantic geopolitics, humming ballads about defeating imperialism"

You can tell much about a man’s insecurities by the things he holds in contempt.

Zelenskyy is a war leader and a humble, genuine hero. I can see why a coddled 5x Vietnam draft dodger might feel insecure about him.
