Hello All. Just sent out my weekly US election update. Its amusing to hear some say Trump is back in the lead. Actually anyone saying that either candidate has a lead in Pennsylvania, North Carolina or Georgia is reaching. The race is a dead heat by any reasonable measure.

To this day, Yalta generates heated discussion about just what was agreed—or to put it more accurately, what the three protagonists thought they were agreeing to, writes Phillips P. OBrien foreignpolicy.com/2024/09/01/roo…

1. A russian soldier surrenders to a #Ukrainian #drone by offering a trade. What is this thing that the russian is offering in exchange for his life? Is this a fair exchange?

2/ Russian offensive operations in Donetsk Oblast do not portend the imminent collapse of the frontline throughout Ukraine, despite Putin's efforts to portray the advances in Donetsk Oblast as dramatic. It remains too soon to forecast the outcome of the current Russian offensive

Interesting from Austin today; “Meanwhile, with help from several European companies, the United States is working with Ukraine to design and build a substitute for the S-300 surface-to-air missile system and the R-27 air-to-air missile.” defense.gov/News/Speeches/…

Was intrigued to see that my post about how the media is abusing and misusing the word “strategic” was the subject of an article in Defence Express. The article captures the argument very well. en.defence-ua.com/analysis/exper….

Well came home tonight and found someone else had just put $400k in my bank account. No idea who did it, but really can’t be bothered to find out... Happens all the time.
