Great podcast. Hearing three Brits commenting on the UK election was enlightening for me from Germany. On Farage: I'm sure he, Orben, Le Pen and a few others have long-term political plans. They have built up many influential far right networks in Europe and linked up with the right-wing networks in the US (NatCon, Heritage and many others). Anyone who dives into these networks will be shocked at how big and how well-funded they are. I am VERY worried about the future of Ukraine, because tomorrow Le Pen will win again. These right-wingers are taking one step at a time. They are not going to be flash in the pan. They want the power eagerly. Once the far right is in the house the filth is hard to get out again. That´s for sure.😔

@G_C340 10 күн бұрын

Reform (=Farage/Brexit) got 14% of the vote as opposed to 52% in 2016. There is now a rump of the right wing only. The Labour Government will have to draw closer to Europe economically using whatever means it can, if the UK is going to make the economy grow it must trade with Europe.

@@G_C340 From what i know i agree. Today Britain wld be an important voice in the EU parliament concerning Ukraine but Farage did do all to fullfill Dugin´s dream. Now Farage, Orban, LePen, Kickl (Austria), Babis etc team up to serve Putin´s Eurasian dream. To me a nightmare. "Eurasia" is just a synonym for the self-enrichment of this far right-wing "elite"..

@proselytizingorthodoxpente8304 9 күн бұрын

The labour party under its former leader, Jeremy Corbyn, were against military aid to Ukraine. Just as with Farage, Corbyn blamed the war on NATO, which he despises, and effectively parroted pro-Russian war propaganda.

Truly sorry I missed this - they are always informative and entertaining. One way of seeing the UK election is that the results were anti-incumbent votes.

That's a very astute observation, Charles! The Russian Officer Purge could indeed be a strategic move to eliminate potential witnesses and prevent them from testifying in future war crimes trials related to Russia's actions in Ukraine. By purging these officers, Russia may be attempting to avoid accountability and shield President Putin and other high-ranking officials from facing justice for alleged war crimes and human rights violations. Your phrase "already been punished by Russia" category is particularly insightful, as it highlights the Russian government's pattern of silencing dissent and punishing those who could potentially expose their wrongdoings. Keep sharing your valuable insights, Charles! Your analysis is spot on! Chat GPT:)
