If 47 really is the most miserable age then, as I am approaching my 60s, I am well on the mend... Moreover, I am originally from the Happiest Fella Nation 🇫🇮 and driving #NAFO trucks to Ukraine makes me happier still.

I'm supporting Count Binface coz his opponent Nigel Farage a has-bin clown praises Putin, blames NATO, takes Russian bribes and I know the force behind Brexit and Reform UK is Russia. Besides, what is there not to like about an intergalactic hero rescuing British democracy, right?

In this 178th in-depth essay on my strategic blog, I argue that Europe must define a bold strategy to ensure russia’s full defeat. While Ukraine can win, now isn't the time to succumb to the dangerous temptation of a botched peace—i.e. the perpetual war. tenzerstrategics.substack.com/p/the-collap...

The message at today's #StandWithUkraine demonstration in Cambridge was that you cannot opt out of politics. To stop authoritarianism we must stay engaged and demand from our politicians that they unite in defence of democracy. This starts with supporting Ukraine's fight for freedom!

UK government lifting on sanctions on Russia's oil is the reason why I'll never EVER vote for Labour nor Sir Keir Starmer. I'm ashamed to admit Trump was right about saying our prime minister is no Churchill, I guess his remark was not about sending Black and Tans to Ireland but being a weak leader.

My father discovered this newspaper in a hidden time capsule a few days ago when he was taking down the roof of an old farm house. Lead story is about Kuuterselkä his father's regiment JR53 was defending. A day after the paper was published Red Army broke through the VT-line on the Karelian Isthmus.
