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

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

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

๐Ÿ’ฅ Britain's Strategic Defence Review is due to be published on Monday. Sources tell On The Brink that it's going to be embarrassingly light and do nothing to enhance our defence status on the global stage.

Lord Dannatt said increasing defence spending to 2.5% by 2027 and setting an โ€œambitionโ€ of hitting 3% by 2034 would leave the nation vulnerable. "Itโ€™s a little bit like saying in 1938 to Adolf Hitler โ€˜please donโ€™t attack us until 1946 because we are not going to be readyโ€™."

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 ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ

NATO chief Mark Rutte has called for a 400% increase in air and missile defence to maintain a credible deterrent. "We need to listen.

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.
