Where’s Orsk? New name to me! Washington Post via archive.ph “These sites have not been involved in supporting Russia’s war against Ukraine,” the U.S. official said. “But they are sensitive locations because Russia could perceive that its strategic deterrent capabilities are being targeted, which could undermine Russia’s ability to maintain nuclear deterrence against the United […]
Two sources for the information The Guardian and UPI May 30 (UPI) — The Israeli military said its forces have gained control of Gaza’s so-called Philadelphi Corridor, ( the name used by Israel) a demilitarized buffer zone that runs along the eight-mile border between southern Gaza and Egypt that Israel says served as a Hamas […]
Another Financial Times article via archive.ph As an organising principle for western foreign policy, the “rules-based international order” has long suffered from some disastrous flaws. It is a phrase that means nothing to a normal person. As a result, it is a deeply uninspiring concept. People might go to war to defend freedom or the […]

Keeping in mind the latest reporting regarding the attempted assassination of the Slovakian leader is not looking like a “lone wolf” We know […]
This is not the same as the ICC request for arrest warrants- My opinion on the ICC situation, no arrest warrants will be issued unless the US really wants Netanayahu out of office. US officials are up in arms about the ICC warrant potential because many, many American’s could be arrested. https://www.theglobeandmail.com/world/article-world-court-to-rule-friday-on-request-to-order-halt-to-israels-rafah Globe and Mail […]
