I think that Orban probably has a lot of silent blessings from other EU leaders and if there is anyone who can go away and talk to Russia and Putin, it is him.

[@JamesBrown-ux9ds]

Yes and - Putin will still have extremly high hurdles for the west to jump over towards peace. The US, Nato, Nuland and the small baltic states cleary said they were after Russia, Russia to become sliced into several states, to fight Russia until the last Ukrainean, etc.. Behind closed Doors I would ask the heads of von der Leyen, Stoltenberg, Nuland and Selensky on a silver plattern before any talks could start at all. And of course this war is building up momentum towards the west everyday more (1) - the NK troops now arriving want to see more of the west as well - why should they turn just west of the Donbass (2) around without having seen Lwiw or Berlin(3)? 1 - So why should Putin hold it back? 2 - The 'EDF - Eurasian Defense Force, Sector NK', needs to become trained all around the eurasian plate anyway, why not use this chance to make it a little more familiar with it's future fields of duty with regard to the coming decades? 3 - Proactive western diplomacy would invite them, a group of them to Berlin, 'Wandel durch Annäherung' - 'Wo sie nun einmal in der Ukraine sind, könnten Sie doch auch gleich noch ein bisschen weiter nach Westen fahren, dass man sich diplomatisch ein bisschen näher bekannt machen könnte, auch so unter Soldaten?' (Honecker war ja eigentlich auch ein Betonkopf.)

Russian Army began using the latest S-350 Vityaz anti-aircraft system in Ukraine, which can attack 12 to 16 targets simultaneously against aircraft and cruise missile threats. S-350 battery destroyed 12 Himars rockets, against American Atacms missiles, as well as the British Storm Shadow. The system offers a series of advantages over other systems. Ukrainian equipment and manpower destroyed by FPV drones on the Right Bank of the Dnieper River. Russian drones hit food warehouses hidden in large trucks, ammunition supplies of mortar crews and Ukrainian sabotage and reconnaissance groups towards the left bank were destroyed as well as other targets within 24 hours of the operation of the Airborne Forces Group "Dnepr". - Military Tube Today

any country that buys US weapons have rocks in their heads, this is proof US weapons are garbage - expensive, complicated, over engineered, requires lots of maintenance, requires perfect conditions to operate in, requires lots of training, is fun to play with on the simulator and makes $$ squillions for the weapons manufacturer, and cannotdefeat farmers and goat herders with AK47's and sandals (take your pick out of Vietnam, Afghanistan or Iraq for starters). Meanwhile RU equ is much cheaper, easier to operate, and designed to work where it matters most - the battlefieldbut then this is what this war is about after overthrowing Putin failed - destrow the German steel industry and make NATO offload all of their equipment so they will be forced to buy new US equipment who says Americas forever wars don't pay?

[Outstanding, Russian Armed Forces! God go with you as He has so many times in perilous battles, Borodino to name one!] Russian forces have carried out 23 combined strikes on Ukrainian targets in the past week, the Defense Ministry in Moscow has said. The attacks, which took place between June 29 and July 5, involved both “high precision weapons” and drones, the ministry said in a statement on Friday. They hit Ukrainian airfields, as well as energy infrastructure used to power the country’s military-industrial complex. Sites where Kiev’s missiles were being stored and prepared for launch were also successfully targeted. Russian missiles and UAVs also destroyed fuel depots used for Ukrainian hardware, and assembly shops for aerial drones and unmanned boats, the ministry added. During the past week, Russian air-defense systems shot down two Ukrainian Air Force MiG-29s and one Su-27 jet, five US-supplied ATACMS missiles, 14 Storm Shadow cruise missiles that had been donated by Britain, 42 rockets for US-made HIMARS, and Czech-made Vampire systems, as well as 451 drones of various types, the statement read. The total losses incurred by the Ukrainian military over the past seven days have reached up to 13,500 servicemen, according to the defense ministry. The most intense fighting apparently took place in Russia’s Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR), where more than 7,700 Ukrainian troops were killed or severely wounded. - RT

Talking of Trump winning but not being in power , Trump needs to clean out the FBI and Department of Justice ( an oxymoron if ever there was one ) . Someone like Desantis as head of the FBI and bring back Trey Goudy to clean out the Department of Justice. That would be a good beginning.

[@bruceportersr9880]

As always, a Wonderful summation of the elections however you didn’t mention a very momentous outcome In N Ireland. Sinn Fein has become the largest political party in Westminster, Stormont and in the local councils, a hat trick of success that for the first time in history sees a Nationalist party with the largest mandate! Also, this makes them the 5th largest party in the Commons due to the unfortunate collapse of the SNP in Scotland. Also the UUP have an MP for the first time in years and the DUP vote collapsed probably like the SNP - due to a large extent on the criminal proceedings facing both of the party leaders?

[@johanstinson]

What does that mean for Ireland? I know nothing about the place.

The question is: How much longer will Starmer last as compared to Liz Truss

[@davidrichaidson3269]

Er!! Od give Starmer till 2026 and the public young and old will turn against the Party as a whole!! Why?? Well, the one single " ingredient" a political Party needs for survival is a philosophy - something the Party stands for through thick or thin!!! Starmer, as most of not all Western politicians have fallen for is not the economic development of the population that allows them choice in every aspect of their lives, rather the Party has debunked economic choices for the public as a whole, and plumbed it seems for peripheral believes as gender issues, " green" politics based on the end of civilization, and other non- essentials to people's daily lives and futures!! This is doomed to failure in Britain as long as it continues to have this internal view of the world, and does not educate it's public of realities as the rise of BRICS and the political impact this will have on internal UK politics and the gradual demise of the US as world leader!! In short, Starmer as captain, has no clue of where the ship is/ should be heading, as the captain takes the view that as long as the crew, not the passengers are important, then I'm afraid the captain will not look outward and see the rocks to which he steers the ship!! Starmer as captain?? God help and deliver SS Great Britain!!!!!!!

Mr Starmer does not do any work after 6pm on Fridays, presumably to celebrate the shabbat.
