Biden can’t even distinguish if he’s suffering from Covid or not, days ago, he was standing at the podium that plans had to be redrawn as “First Lady’s husband got Covid”, as he carries on mumbling, he’s interrupted and reminded that the First Ladies husband would be himself, he actually meant, Kamala Harris’s husband, or “Second Gentlemen”.

Pretty sure, it being Johnson, all they would need would be a female with a (recent) pulse...

If Russia is struggling in Ukraine, it’s not getting past NATO’s current Eastern Flank, under conventional means.

I would take anything he says with a large dose of salt.

NATO are not going to war with Russia over chemical weapons use.

We as in the UK aren't responding in kind because we don't have any! I suspect he means the retaliation would be as severe rather than exactly the same but still, wouldn't have hurt to have made that clear

Unless we've saved that bench from Salisbury and have plans to drop it off in Red Square - you know just on the off chance Vlad fancies an afternoon stroll.

Russia hints at scaling back war on Ukraine

https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/5...e93e9a0b8a84e6

Quote:

The Kremlin has given its strongest indication that Russia will scale back its military ambitions in Ukraine to focus on fighting for control of the east.

After defeats around Kyiv and stalled efforts to capture ports on the south coast, Moscow said it would “focus our core efforts “ to achieve the “main goal, the liberation of Donbas”.

Full control of the contested province has long been identified as critical to Russia’s war. However, Putin has consistently said his objective is removing “the pro-Nazi regime in Kyiv”. The announcement by the defence ministry appears to indicate that Russia is scaling back its ambitions…

… Colonel-General Sergei Rudskoi, head of the Russian general staff’s main operational directorate, said Russian-backed separatists now controlled 93 per cent of Ukraine’s Luhansk region and 54 per cent of the Donetsk region, the two areas that constitute the Donbas.

“The combat potential of the armed forces of Ukraine have been considerably reduced, which . . makes it possible to focus our core efforts on achieving the main goal, the liberation of Donbas,” he said.

He added that Russia’s army had considered two options at the outset of the conflict: a national operation and one limited to the Donbas. “The main objectives of the first stage of the operation have generally been accomplished,” Rudskoi said.

This is a good thread on the topic from the forum's favourite Tweeter, Dr Mike Martin.

Yup, redefine your objectives so you can call the mission a success. ;)

BREAKING: In apparent gaffe, Biden tells US troops in Poland they will see the bravery of Ukrainians “when you are there.”

Biden made the remark as he met the U.S. Air Force’s 82nd Airborne Division. Previously, Biden repeatedly said that the U.S. will not deploy any troops to Ukraine. - Kyiv Independent.

This muppet in charge of nuclear weapons is almost as worrying as Putin.
