BBC News - Live Blog: Reports in its 6.41pm post the following, " Starmer labels Russia's attack on Ukraine children's hospital 'appalling'.....Asked further about his election promise of increasing defence spending, Starmer said a strategic review would be carried out and that he is committed to spending 2.5% of GDP "within our fiscal rules". "
Lets Get Real:
This is the right tone by the new PM, support for the Ukraine, and the promise to increase spending on defence by 2.5% in time. The Russians might not give him the time. The PM should be careful not to be dragged in to the debate about Biden's health. POTUS is not going anywhere, he has made that clear, also the Democrats have shown they do not have have a profile in courage, so the Democrats are stuck with Biden. The rebels who wanted Biden out, will have to make it clear that they support POTUS and think he can win, even if they do not think that is reality. This blog is surprised that Russian has not tried anything with the Baltic States or Poland, if I was Putin and this mess was going on in D.C I would try something after 8pm Washington time, Biden likes to go to sleep after 8. The NATO members have to support the Ukraine, the War will last years, as did WW1, till the US does something as President Wilson did in 1918, by sending troops to Europe.
