Possible change in policy for poland with regards to ROE.

Smart move, if “Belarus” fire a missile at Ukraine via Poland shoot it down in Belarus let them clean up the damage.

Time for the Polish government to ask the Belarus ambassador for an interview without coffee, and give him the news.

If that happened it would be seriously bad news for Putin. Blurs the edges. If you shoot down a missile in Belarus heading for Poland it's a short jump to shooting down missiles in Belarus that aren't heading to Poland and before long Ukraine has outsourced its AD to the West.

I approve - the Putin frog gets boiled once again.

A sensible policy change. Belarus can no longer play the role of organ grinder's moneky with impunity.

An interesting point that I picked up from that.

Russians want the death penalty restored to execute these terrorists, but they say that they need undisputable evidence of guilt. They can't have that if they say that someone else was responsible. Rock and hard place. Boxed into corner.

Peter Zeihan makes the case for French Troops in Ukraine. It's a bit of a stretch, but entertaining.

Ignoring Galloway, it could give the state an out if "the west" agree to "stop terrorism" then the brave Russian conscripts don't need to go denazify the place any more. More likely Russia's going to turn into North Korea. What a stshow for the younger generation.

Respect to France.

Yeah, good on them but it's taken far too long for France to step up. I also think that France is getting paid for these, so it's maybe not as altruistic as it appears.

I wonder if it's time for us to follow in the US's footsteps, face up to the fact that we were only ever a junior partner in the World Police and without the US's involvement we should step back too, mainly because we can't afford to be handing money to anyone and for the moment at least, this is continental Europe's problem, not ours?

We are in that pesky NATO and I doubt any other country stepping up is awash with spare cash either.

War in Europe may not mean we're anywhere near any land action, but there's still a lot of damage Russia can do to us underwater, in the air and in cyberspace and they seem weirdly fixated on our role in their torment.

If we let them pick off European countries one by one it will soon be our turn.

They're quite open about where this is going:

I very much doubt Russia and going to work their way through Poland, Germany and France.

So are the US and quite frankly just as they can say "not our problem", so can we.

Brexit was supposed to be about making the most of our attributes as a standalone country, well here's our chance. Let the EU deal with it and save us some much needed money.
