Proximity, its time to shine!

Britain may need to introduce new form of conscription to take on Putin, MI6 chief warns
The former head of MI6 has suggested Britain may need to introduce a form of conscription in the face of new international threats.

Sir Alex Younger said the Government could require powers to compel Britons to 'give their service one way or another'.

>Collect funds from the Euros
>Use it to buy good grace by buying US weapons

From US POV, way better for us, instead of gifting the 50BN we actually get paid for it. Biden should of done stuff like this. It's criminal how little regard and how careless some of our leaders were with giving away tax payer dollars.


Quote
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Wednesday his country was ready to buy a major package of US weapons.

"We want and we are ready, and we have handed over to the American side a large package that we want to buy," he said at a briefing in Kyiv, adding: "We were ready to find 30 billion or 50 billion (dollars)" for the purchase

So 3 new astronauts arrived on the ISS, with flights still being provided by the Russian space program launching from Kazakhstan, one NASA astronaut and two Russians
The latter including Alexey Zubritsky, born in Zaphorizhia Ukraine. Zubritsky was a member of the pre-coup Ukrainian armed forces as a pilot and escaped the revolutionary regime, and was sentenced just in the past few weeks in absentia by Zelensky's regime to 15 years in prison and confiscation of his property and placed on a list of traitors that presumably entails a summary death sentence as has been Ukrainian norms for assassinations.

Quote
On April 8, 2025, Zubritsky successfully flew into space and docked with the International Space Station (ISS) as part of a mission alongside fellow cosmonauts Sergey Ryzhikov and Jonathan Kim aboard the Russian spacecraft Soyuz MS-27. However, while he was orbiting the Earth, a Ukrainian court had already issued a verdict against him.
In March 2025, the Ukrainian justice system recognized Zubritsky as a traitor and deserter, sentencing him to 15 years in prison and ordering the confiscation of all his remaining property in Ukraine. This conviction was part of a broader legal response to individuals who have switched sides in the ongoing conflict between Ukraine and Russia.
The Kyiv Territorial Recruitment Center has even declared a search for Zubritsky, despite the fact that he is currently not on Earth. This unusual development has drawn attention, with many questioning the efficacy and timing of such actions against someone who is literally out of reach.

This also shows why we should never support ultranationalist partisan movements in general. The fact Biden surrounded himself with these kinds of radicals wound up costing hundreds of thousands of lives.
Zubritsky was stationed in Crimea and served in the UA Sevastopol Brigade while Yanukovych was elected. His government was overthrown and Crimea seized by Russia, and Zubritsky voluntarily joined Russia and entered cosmonaut training rather than fight his former countrymen. He was never beholden to the revolutionary regime, never owed any loyalty to Zelensky. He had the choice of which side to join or whether to fight. And yet, the Ukrainian response is totalitarian, uncompromising and utterly fatalist;

Quote
The Ukrainian prosecutor said: "Having committed high treason and desertion, he joined the armed forces of the Russian Federation, where he is still serving, in particular, as a test cosmonaut, [and] flight engineer of the ISS-72/73 crew [currently in space]."
Pro-Kremlin news outlet Shot said: “Russians have exceptional respect for Alexey, are happy for his career and send greetings to the ISS.”


"Everyone who isn't with us is against us" kind of mentality. I'd draw comparisons to Nazis, but the Ukrainians already did that for me eh

Oh no, someone that joined the army of an invading country is marked as traitor.
