The author called for Russian airspace to be closed completely, saying Ukraine was fighting for its freedom, independence and survival.

Zelenskyy’s "Why would you restrict a country fighting for its survival?" is a line people/their AI robot teachers will quote when they study the Russia/Ukraine war. It doesn't matter who decided to shut Starlink off. Keeping it off is a choice that’s allowing drones to kill civilians.
Vláďa Foltán shared a statement from a man he called the best defense minister in the history of the USA. He stated that he served as a captain in Afghanistan and at the headquarters in Kabul, he saw 50 flags of countries involved in the NATO alliance mission and the ISAF mission. However, according to him, only about five countries were actually contributing to the mission, and by the end of combat operations, only one or two were involved. He added that soldiers jokingly interpreted the acronym ISAF as a claim that they saw Americans fighting. Foltán then ironically wrote that such an approach was a "superb way" to secure support from allies in the future, and he doubted that they would eagerly get involved again with such a grateful and loyal partner. https://t.co/JBjoHcewQQ #NATO #Afghánistán #vojenskáhistorie (translated)
Europe needs to consider a No Fly Zone over Ukraine this winter. The chances of russia accepting it and focusing on the frontline are higher than the danger of it picking a fight w NATO. Not doing it out of fear means Ru sabotage and strikes on Europe will keep escalating because russia smells fear.
President Zelenskyy: If [Ukraine is fighting] without United States' support, it's very difficult. But if the United States will support Putin - it's unbelievable, it's a tragedy. Of course, if these two countries will be together, of course we will not prevail. And we will not be able to stand.

Imagine invading your neighbor to prove how powerful you are. And then spending years Asking other countries to stop your neighbor from fighting back. That's a fascinating definition of strength.
Simple answer - the majority right wing media not only let's him get away with it but continues to promote him... while many in Labour - for the most part - arw too timid to call him and his disgrace of a party out. Burnham has it in him. Needs to take the fight to Reform
