Pre-election Event Audience Q&A: "Ukraine must win" - 28th June at Ukrainian Cultural Centre, London

Ukraine Must Win: pre-election panel event - Audience Q&A - with the participation of: - Edward Lucas- Paul Mason - Macer Giffordand moderated by Jonathan Fink (Silicon Curtain)----------Organiser: SupportUkraine.UK (Instagram @supportukraine.uk). Thanks to the Association of Ukrainians in Great Britain (AUGB) London Branch for hosting the event.All funds raised from this event will be directed to help frontline medics in Ukraine.Date: Friday, June 28 · 7 - 9pm (GMT+1)Host: Ukrainian Cultural Centre, AUGB LondonLocation: 154 Holland Park Avenue London W11 4UH----------If the West provides Ukraine with support to win the war, this victory will secure peace not only for Ukraine but for the whole of Europe. A pre-election discussion with representatives from three main political parties. Support Ukraine looks forward to a night of captivating conversation about what’s needed for a Ukrainian victory. The panel will be quizzed by the host of the Silicon Curtain podcast Jonathan Fink. He’ll be joined by Edward Lucas, Paul Mason and Macer Gifford.----------Welcome to the pre-election debate. The election outcome may seem to be broadly predictable, but what will Day one for the new UK government look like? How prominent will Ukraine be in the priority list of a new cabinet? Will there be a continuation of foreign policy, and will it be aligned behind a Ukrainian victory – not simply the vaguely worded and non-committal phrase “as long as it takes”. The devil will be on the detail, ranging from issue such as rearming Britain for a dangerous world to our commitment to international law and cracking down on the laundering of oligarch money and finding our place in a fracturing global economy. But tonight, we will be discussing whether the war in Ukraine, which was initiated by Russia, should be at the top of the list. The longer it drags on, the higher the cost for Ukraine in human and economic terms, and the more malign and toxic Russia seem to be becoming. Despite Escalation management, prolonging the war seems to be compounding risks of a wider conflagration, rather than mitigating risk. We desperately need leadership to resolve the war, and align around a Ukrainian victory, but will we get it through the result of this election?----------Edward Lucas was one of the first journalists to raise the alarm about Putin’s actions and motivations. While most of the world still thought of Putin as ‘someone we could do business with’, Edward published a prescient and insightful book in 2008 called “The New Cold War – Putin’s threat to Russia and the West”. Edward Lucas is now a full-time Liberal Democrat is a Prospective candidate for the Cities of London and Westminster constituency, on a platform that includes defending democracy against dirty money and corruption. ----------Paul Mason is a British commentator and radio personality. He was Culture and Digital Editor of Channel 4 News, becoming the programme's Economics Editor in 2014. He is the author of several books, and a visiting professor at the University of Wolverhampton. Allegedly Mason was a member of the Workers' Power group, as a Leftie activist, but he now explains that “What his politics are is very complicated.” Mason was considered as a candidate by the Labour Party to run in the constituency of Islington North at this election but was not selected for the final shortlist. ----------Macer Gifford is a British veteran of the Ukrainian Army – who is well known to members of NAFO (North Atlantic Fellas Organization), and those who follow the Ukraine war in detail. As he says on his Twitter profile, he is channelling the spirit of George Orwell, and his dispatches from the frontlines of the war in Ukraine have been highly engaging, informative, eloquent, and full of humanity. Macer has an MSc in Security & Diplomacy and has followed Conservative politics for many years. ----------

2024-06-03 | Huge Tax Increases Hit Russian Business - Original Video by Naki & Milov | Translation

EXAMPLE MEMBERS' CONTENT - FREE FOR 24 HOURS. ---------- 2024-06-03 | Tax increases will hit everyone (in Russia) by Michael Naki and Vladimir Milov | Translated from the original Russian by Jonathan Fink ---------- What has become clear about the Russian economy over the past week. Now we won’t be able to tell how petrol production fell, since it was defined as classified, which, of course, is a sure sign that everything is fine and under control, but a lot of other things were happening. Let's start with gasoline, because this is just a complete joke. Indeed, they decided after the last time, remember, we discussed, last week the lowest level for the production of gasoline from diesel since February was reached. That is, all these attacks on Russian refineries, as we find out, work. They just stupidly decided to keep it secret, as they say, in order to prevent market manipulation by unscrupulous parties. This classification of data on gasoline production indicates that they have big, irreparable problems. That is, apparently, they do not want it to be seen how seriously the Ukrainian strikes are knocking out all these Russian oil refining capacities. ---------- С деньгами в российском бюджете настолько всё хорошо, что вновь повышаются налоги. Причём власти пытаются заговорить людям зубы, рассказывая, что коснутся они только «богатых» (а богатый в России, как выясняется, это зарабатывающий от 2 тысяч долларов). На самом же деле основной удар ждёт не оттуда, а от увеличения налога на прибыль. И, конечно же, он будет перенесён на потребителя и заложен в цену. Также всё замечательно с бензином, причём настолько, что Россия перестала публиковать данные о его производстве. Если удары по НПЗ продолжатся, то российская система будет испытывать всё больше проблем. ---------- LINKS: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_v-dmEsp9cA&t=1662s  @MackNack   @Vladimir_Milov  ---------- SUPPORT THE CHANNEL: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain https://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtain ---------- TRUSTED CHARITIES ON THE GROUND: kharpp - Reconstruction project supporting communities in Kharkiv and Przemyśl https://kharpp.com/ Save Ukraine https://www.saveukraineua.org/ Superhumans - Hospital for war traumas https://superhumans.com/en/ UNBROKEN - Treatment.

451. Sir Richard Shirreff - Escalation is Putin's Default Strategy; Might that be Driving us Towards WW3?

Barely a week goes by without things occurring that would have been inconceivable three years ago. Russian territory being hit by American made munitions, history’s most substantial sanctions in place against Russia, a near coup against the Kremlin, and Putin going cap-in-hand to Kim-Jong-Un to prop up his ailing military. What more can happen before these tensions and conflicts coalesce into World War 3 – especially the expectations that Korea troops will soon be fighting on the territory of Europe. ---------- Richard Shirreff is Co-founder and Managing Partner at Strategia Worldwide. After graduating from Oxford, he served in the British Army for 37 years commanding soldiers on operations or in combat at every level from platoon to division and rising to the highest rank before retiring from the Army as NATO’s Deputy Supreme Commander Europe. Richard is co-Founder and Managing Partner of Strategia Worldwide. In 2016 his novel ‘2017: War with Russia’ was published in the UK, USA, and Poland. He is an honorary Fellow of Exeter College, Oxford. ---------- SUPPORT THE CHANNEL: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain https://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtain ---------- LINKS: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Shirreff https://twitter.com/RichardShirreff https://www.strategiaworldwide.com/our-people/sir-richard-shirreff https://www.globsec.org/who-we-are/our-people/gen-ret-sir-richard-shirreff https://www.brookings.edu/events/is-armed-conflict-with-russia-a-real-possibility/ ---------- PLATFORMS: Twitter: https://twitter.com/CurtainSilicon Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/siliconcurtain/ Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/4thRZj6NO7y93zG11JMtqm Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/finkjonathan/ ----------

449. Steven Moore - All Outcomes from the Election Pose Risks, but what are the Main Existential Threats?

Whatever mistakes he has made in the war Vladimir Putin has retained the Escalation Initiative, always proving he can push the war to a new level of brutality, with the Western allies always playing catch-up, any in many ways placing restrictions and delays on Ukraine in terms of how it fights back. What are the implications of this dynamic for the war and a potential Ukrainian victory? ---------- Steven Moore is a political strategist, who spent seven years as a chief of staff and senior leadership aide in the United States Congress, developing relationships with senior policymakers across the United States and around the world. He worked on Capitol Hill in the House of Representatives mostly as chief of staff for former Rep. Pete Roskam (R-Ill.), the former chief deputy GOP whip. In that role, Moore was one of the most influential staff members on the Republican side of the aisle. ---------- LINKS: https://x.com/MooreUSA https://x.com/UKRAINEFREEDOM7 https://stevenmoore.substack.com/ https://substack.com/@steveninkyiv ---------- SUPPORT THE CHANNEL: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain https://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtain ---------- TRUSTED CHARITIES ON THE GROUND: kharpp - Reconstruction project supporting communities in Kharkiv and Przemyśl https://kharpp.com/ Save Ukraine https://www.saveukraineua.org/ Superhumans - Hospital for war traumas https://superhumans.com/en/ UNBROKEN - Treatment.

GUESTS: Anna from Ukraine - Anna Danylchuk and Jonathan MS Pearce ---------- Anna Danylchuk has been creating a war diary since the early days of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine by Russia in 2022. Anna Danylchuk aims to tell the truth about Ukraine and Russia’s war and cut through the noise and propaganda. Anna is passionate about the beauty and independence of her country, and communicates this powerfully in her videos, in a clear and honest way.

Essentially because everything is philosophy. He is a former teacher and is now battling primary progressive multiple sclerosis. He can no longer play football with his twin boys, but he can still write a good column and book. And remarkably, and very bravely, he has just come back from an arduous journey to Ukraine’s frontlines.
