Arrest threatens him everywhere, maybe the quickest being cardiac at home. He looks a very, very tired man at the moment.

'Russia will not cave'- says Putin. Beware a new Stone Age in Russia, Mr Putin!

It is beginning to look like O’Brien would rather fall back on his sword than on Irish indigenous gas. Ireland has mighty faith in the EU, its future, its direction and its competence, I must say. Faith is not a commodity that a government should trade in, regardless of constitutional support for it.

Yes, Lensbury - loosen his grip and tighten the noose all at the same time. If Trump wants to expose the paper tiger and get the big prize next year this is the way to do it. Putin and Russia are running on empty - everything, but everything, is either running out or away. (A batch of 50 soldiers simply raised the white flag yesterday, so didn't bother getting out of breath - best way to avoid a bullet in the back)

Don’t be left behind - Go, Cobalt, go! +++ over the last two months. Another reason to be cheerful.

TiT will ignore your question - ignore him by putting him out of sight and therefore out of mind.

He made such a memorable impression on me that I remember nothing he said.

The only one

Putin is not the only losing and having his grip loosened. Read DShox below.

Summit, it looks like Putin has overplayed his hand. It will be surprising if Trump changes course this time after what Bessent has just said.

If Putin gets on the phone now, he will look weak in the eyes of the world. Bare-chested warrior on horseback backs down!? Make Lavrov eat his words, come on Donald, we are all right behind you in this matter at least! Just send a token number of Tomahawks as an earnest of your intentions as well and that should do the trick.

That’s more like it, R/Rtrader.

RandRtrader. Absolutely right. The metal prices used and the dixcount then applied distorts things massively. The Nyud licence has a value but not mentioned, I think.

For what it is worth, your ill-informed opinion is worth nothing, DShox. It will take so much cannon fodder to take the rest of Donetsk that a revolution in Russia will sweep Putin away first.

Generals January and February were great assets for the Russian military in previous centuries to repel invaders. Does not apply this century. They are the invaders.

I meant the paper-waving Chamberlain, not Baldwin.

I don't think you are well informed about the state of the Russian army, DShox. Meat grinder tactics will come to an end and not because the Ukrainians have lost.

The morale of the Ukrainian soldiers has improved remarkably over the last 3 or 4 months. Why on earth is that? More supplies of munitions etc from the West. They have far better food, winter clothing and so on. Russia is not winning this war, far from it. Have you ever heard of King Pyrrhus? Putin is destroying his own country in more ways than just losing 35-40000 soldiers a month. Their replacements are a danger both to themselves and their mates.

We strongly support President Trump's position that the fighting should stop immediately, and that the current line of contact should be the starting point of negotiations,” the statement published by several European governments including the UK on Tuesday, said.

“We must ramp up the pressure on Russia's economy and its defence industry, until Putin is ready to make peace. We are developing measures to use the full value of Russia's immobilised sovereign assets so that Ukraine has the resources it needs.”

Trump has to stick with this, whether he likes it or not. Otherwise he will return from Budapest, or wherever, like Stanley Baldwin in 1938 waving a piece of paper and mouthing ‘peace in our time’. You do understand that, don’t you DShox?

Of course it could have been done long before now! The reason for the delay is the really interesting thing. It may be to our benefit, for example, if the LU arrives first. Why did SB not give up on that long ago!? I think he thinks it’s coming - is he right or wrong, that is the question.

After that DShox and Tim&Co are piously hoping that Trump can help half-a-trillionaire Putin (polonium poisoner, child abductor, thief, aviation-accident expert, torturer, spy-master gangster) to achieve stability in the Baltic States after destabilising comments from Kaja Kallas and other warmongers in that area.

‘The optics of the Russian President invited to US soil after over a decade of media and Obama-Biden era demonisation.’

DShox 12th Aug. 2025

DShox thinks Europe and Zelensky have no role to play. Trump and Putin are the masters - and rightly so in his opinion.

Green Cage or Coffin? - hardly matters - Keith just boarded it up or nailed it down.
