Trump is not being tough on Putin. "It would be nice to think that Trump has some sort of grand plan, but what we see here is he's kind of on Putin's side." Sir William Browder KCMG

Home Guard could be set up to protect Britain from infrastructure attacks. "They will need to be cyber experts and counter sabotage trained. Not necessarily for a part-time home guard. People will be imagining Capt. Mainwaring and Pike." Philip Ingram MBE ๐ฌ๐ง๐ฎ๐ช๐บ๐ฆ | Cormac Smith ๐ฎ๐ช๐ฌ๐ง๐บ๐ฆ๐ช๐บ๐ณ๏ธโ๐

Trump set to call Putin on Monday and urge him to "stop the bloodbath" in Ukraine. "Is this the same Donald Trump that was going to end the war in 24hrs? I would trust Trump as much as I would trust Putin." Philip Ingram MBE ๐ฌ๐ง๐ฎ๐ช๐บ๐ฆ | Cormac Smith ๐ฎ๐ช๐ฌ๐ง๐บ๐ฆ๐ช๐บ๐ณ๏ธโ๐

The UK-EU Defence Agreement is pretty disappointing. Why? Because it really doesn't say much. "We are essentially excluding the Americans, Canadians and Turkey at the benefit of non-NATO members. It puts us in an odd strategic situation." Eliot Wilson

Putin is a KGB guy who is running rings around Donald Trump Eliot Wilson: "Trump's point man Steve Witkoff has virtually rolled over for Putin." Cormac Smith ๐ฎ๐ช๐ฌ๐ง๐บ๐ฆ๐ช๐บ๐ณ๏ธโ๐: "Ukrainians have now given up on the States completely. They know it's down to them." Philip Ingram MBE ๐ฌ๐ง๐ฎ๐ช๐บ๐ฆ

Strategic Defence Reviews looks set to be published early next week. "Sources tell me that it's going to be embarrassingly light and do nothing to enhance our defence status on the global stage." Philip Ingram MBE ๐ฌ๐ง๐ฎ๐ช๐บ๐ฆ Eliot Wilson Cormac Smith ๐ฎ๐ช๐ฌ๐ง๐บ๐ฆ๐ช๐บ๐ณ๏ธโ๐

Britain NEEDS to get a grip of defence procurement. "So much time and money has been wasted over trivial matters such as negotiating over a coffee machine in an aircraft. We've lost sight of reality!" Philip Ingram MBE ๐ฌ๐ง๐ฎ๐ช๐บ๐ฆ Eliot Wilson Cormac Smith ๐ฎ๐ช๐ฌ๐ง๐บ๐ฆ๐ช๐บ๐ณ๏ธโ๐

Trump's administration should be connecting the dots. "Helping Ukraine defeat Russia, will not only isolate Iran, but will also send a very strong message to China that the West will protect sovereignty, freedom of navigation and international law." Ben Hodges

WORLD TO RIGHTS #12 ๐ฅ Donald Trump being played by Vladimir Putin. ๐ฅ Britain's Strategic Defence Review imminent. ๐ฅ Has Israel's military operation gone too far? Philip Ingram MBE ๐ฌ๐ง๐ฎ๐ช๐บ๐ฆ | Cormac Smith ๐ฎ๐ช๐ฌ๐ง๐บ๐ฆ๐ช๐บ๐ณ๏ธโ๐ | Eliot Wilson


๐ฅDoes the Strategic Defence Review prepare Britain for war? No. On The Brink's team explains why. Philip Ingram MBE ๐ฌ๐ง๐ฎ๐ช๐บ๐ฆ Cormac Smith ๐ฎ๐ช๐ฌ๐ง๐บ๐ฆ๐ช๐บ๐ณ๏ธโ๐ Eliot Wilson


Britain has a history of producing defence reviews which are completely dislocated from government spending reviews. This means that defence reviews end up just becoming a wishlist. Point made by Former Defence Secretary Sir Liam Fox.

Sources say NATO will force Britain to spend 3.5% of GDP on defence by 2032. This comes a day after the Gov't published it's Strategic Defence Review. "The SDR lacks urgency and is wrapped up in word soup. There is no real detail in the report." Philip Ingram MBE ๐ฌ๐ง๐ฎ๐ช๐บ๐ฆ

NATO chief Mark Rutte has called for a 400% increase in air and missile defence to maintain a credible deterrent. "We need to listen. We're seeing daily how Russia is using it's precision long-range weapons to target civilian infrastructure." Cormac Smith ๐ฎ๐ช๐ฌ๐ง๐บ๐ฆ๐ช๐บ๐ณ๏ธโ๐

Russia could launch an attack against NATO by 2030, warns Mark Rutte. "This is nothing new. It's been obvious for years that this is an ambition for Russia. Brits now need to wake-up!" Cormac Smith ๐ฎ๐ช๐ฌ๐ง๐บ๐ฆ๐ช๐บ๐ณ๏ธโ๐

WORLD TO RIGHTS #13 ๐ฅ Israel-Iran: What's the latest? What does it mean for the Middle East? ๐ฅ Keir Starmer must raise defence spending higher and faster. ๐ฅ Mad Vlad's two week deadline from Donald Trump. Cormac Smith ๐ฎ๐ช๐ฌ๐ง๐บ๐ฆ๐ช๐บ๐ณ๏ธโ๐ | Eliot Wilson

Trump's latest ridiculous claim... another great lie for the useful idiots to add to their collection. Donald Trump has said axing Russia from the G8 in 2014 was a "big mistake" and that Moscow would not have invaded Ukraine had Vladimir Putin not been kicked out. Cormac Smith ๐ฎ๐ช๐ฌ๐ง๐บ๐ฆ๐ช๐บ๐ณ๏ธโ๐
