Topic 2086
The UK just seized a Russian shadow fleet oil tanker as Starmer tries to look tough while Sweden fakes a NATO jet intercept that never happened. Alex Christoforou breaks down Trump's stalled Iran nuclear deal, the chaos at his birthday bash before the G7, and Russia's rapid advance toward Konstantinovka and Lyman. Zelensky's clown world polling stunt against Putin. What does Zelensky's own data really reveal about the war he's losing?
