2026-01-27 | UPDATES #114 | Russian warships escort “grey fleet” vessels through the English Channel — a confrontation in the making? A sanctioned oil tanker is boarded in the Mediterranean. Days later, a Russian warship escorts an oil tanker through the English Channel — with NATO watching every meter of water. This is a potential flashpoint, sanctions enforcement colliding with Russian naval det...

2026-01-26 | UPDATES #113 | “Treason” in the PLA? Xi’s unprecedented purge — corruption, loyalty, and coup rumours. Today’s story is not “just another corruption scandal” in China. This is the Chinese Communist Party reaching up into the absolute top of the People’s Liberation Army — right into the room where war plans live — and yanking out two senior figures in one move. Top figures in fact. Bei...

2026-01-24 | UPDATES #112 | Davos: The Heckle-Fest—and the Cost of America’s New Posture. Trump’s Gangster Shakedown in Europe. Davos is usually a place where elites congratulate each other for “dialogue,” then fly home in private jets to continue not doing not enough, or to vigorously pursue inaction. This week, though, Davos did something rare: it heckled. And it heckled America — specifically t...

2026-01-23 | UPDATES #111 | Zelensky blasts Europe’s inaction, in a fiery speech at Davos, as Russia “weaponizes winter” cutting power, light and heat to millions of Ukrainians, in the depth of the worst winter the country has seen in decades. Has the enemy’s “energy genocide” broken his diplomatic posture? Is he justified in calling out the hubris, complacency and lack of urgency amongst Ukraine’...

But you may know him better as one of the most prominent voices on YouTube throughout the war, someone with absolute moral clarity about who the victim of the war is – spoilers, it’s Ukraine – and who brings direct military experience to his detailed analysis of the unfolding confli...

2026-01-21 | UPDATES #110 | Russia is burning through its gold — is this a sign that Putin’s war economy is getting desperate? The easy money is running out – from hydrocarbons, minerals, from the sovereign wealth fund and from strategic reserves. Now Putin must dig deeper to fuel his war mania and lust for conquest – appropriation of businesses, default on financial commitments to the poor and ma...

2026-01-20 | UPDATES #109 | The Kremlin’s Coming Economic Squeeze and potential mobilisation prompts whispers of discontent from Russian Oligarchs. In Putin’s Russia, oligarchs don’t speak their minds, and certainty cannot critique power, or the decision that are made by the Tsar. They make noises that approximate dissent, coded signals with critical subtext. But if you read between the lines, the...

2026-01-19 | UPDATES #108 | Nothing makes sense. And everything is clear. Trump says he “needs” Greenland to deter Russia… while starving Ukraine of support and now inviting Putin, Orbán, and Lukashenko onto something called the “Board of Peace.” A “peace board” with a $1 billion cover charge. He’s invited Putin, a man who has started more wars than any other leader alive today and been responsibl...

2026-01-19 | UPDATES #107 | Doing the Devil’s Work: Stephen Miller and America’s “Law of the Jungle” Agenda. The 21st century has somehow become entangled with the 20th – an echo of fascistic philosophy, predatory empires and a breakdown in global security and trust, that led to the horrors of the second world war. We can witness the 21st century descending into behaviours that almost destroyed ci...

2026-01-18 | UPDATES #106 | Popcorn in the Kremlin, as the world wonders whether Trump will order his troops to invade Greenland, a fellow NATO member on the one hand, or invade the U.S. instead – Minneapolis. Is the military to be deployed to support ICE thugs in a crisis manufactured by Trump. Two battalions. On alert and could potentially move within hours. From the 11th Airborne Division — the...

2026-01-18 | UPDATES #105 | The Purge Turns Inward: The Kremlin Starts Eating Its “Patriots.” What’s driving it? Fear of rivals and conspiracies? Punishment for incompetence? Or just plain paranoia? The people who cheerlead for a regime typically get rewarded, until that regime metastasizes and gets consumed by grievance, revenge narratives and paranoia. In Putin’s Russia, they get recycled almost...

2026-01-17 | UPDATES #104 | Let’s start with a quote from Yaroslav Trofimov, Chief Foreign-Affairs Correspondent of The Wall Street Journal. “We are now at a stage when Trump calls NATO nations putting troops on the territory of a NATO ally a threat to world peace. Actually, he calls Denmark putting troops on Denmark’s own sovereign soil a threat to world peace:“Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Ge...

2026-01-17 | UPDATES #103 | If you think the number, the ratio 27:1 sounds obscene, that’s good. It should. Because it tells you two stories at once: the brutal arithmetic of Russia’s infantry-first “meat grinder” tactics, and the way Ukraine is learning to turn Russia’s mass into a liability. It’s a stark riposte to those that endlessly trot out the line that Russia has so many more people, so ma...

2026-01-16 | UPDATES #101 | “We’ll impeach him” — why an attempted invasion of Greenland would be a make-or-break for Trump, for America and its allies in Europe. And it would be a gift for Valdimir Putin. This is the moment that Trump’s dictator cosplay collides with a NATO tripwire. A real red line, that has already triggered an immediate response from Europe, who are sending token forces from a...

2026-01-16 | UPDATES #102 | Kadyrov’s Mafia Dynasty Wobbles. Car crash, failing kidneys and a gunfight in Mariupol – this episode has it all – intriguing, violence and drama. This is a dangerous time for Putin – a failed succession process in Chechnya could cause massive problems for him, and regime instability. The Kadyrov clan is wobbling, their brand is faltering, and Moscow is watching in trep...
