Ukraine president Volodymyr Zelensky in private plots bold attacks inside Russia, leak shows

https://www.stuff.co.nz/world/europe/300878442/ukraine-president-volodymyr-zelensky-in-private-plots-bold-attacks-inside-russia-leak-shows

British Defence Minister Ben Wallace said Friday that the missile would give Ukraine "the best chance" to defend itself and would be for use only "within Ukrainian sovereign territory." A spokesman with the British Embassy in Washington declined to comment on whether Zelensky's leaked remarks might give London pause about its decision.

They probably just foresee the need for a larger embassy in a "United" Israel stretching across Palestine, Lebanon, parts of Syria and perhaps Jordan?

Don't forget - there is a reason that Israel never criticized Russia's invasion in Ukraine ... maybe they plan to follow Putin's footsteps and take over the Near East?

Clearly - Israel needs enough land to allow people to print the full name of its country on the globe ;

DA! of course ... Pax Americana...  carry a big stick...

Sounds like the current generation has screwed up. When I was still working in the defence industry and a customer asked whether they can have a certain product, the answer was always ... of  course, we have a factory.

Funny times ... people need to learn again to produce the olive stuff - and hopefully things will turn better again. They certainly used to be (in the 1980íes or so). It appears too much pacifism can be a killer ...
