Dr Campbell - the amount of work that must go into these summaries! But worth every minute. Can only say, thank you.

Recent weeks have been rather busy but things could calm down soon. A ceasefire could happen in Gaza and Israel may have to wait a while before attacking Iran - if they do. They may try to break Iran by other, less risky ways. Cheers.

Great piece again. Metreweli: Shame about the Nazi grandfather but at least she went to Westminster private school; Oxbridge educated and did rowing. All you need in Britain to be a top civil servant really.

Thanks for the summary Rob.

Ukrainian air defence looks to be dead in the water now. There is no way that Ukraine can source enough from anywhere else in the World. It will be a turkey shoot soon.

It is time for them to end the conflict now.

I also heard a rumour that Russia intervened to reign Iran and Israel in as some part of future peace deal in Ukraine.

Perhaps that is what Trump and Putin were discussing on the phone call.

What do you know, Azov are infighting and the banderiists are banning the Ukrainian Orthodox church, playing Russian music in your car and supposedly even Russian speakers from bomb shelters.

It would be nice if Ukraine could be carved up so all the pro nazi, anti Russian/anti orthodox types could go West and everyone who wanted to live a normal life could go East.

I hear that last night in Kiev was the worse they have experienced since the SMO began. No one had any sleep. As I said in the Update, Patriot systems were targeted and will continue to be blown to pieces in the future - then - Turkey Shoot. I believe that Alex Krainer's account provides an explanation for what happened with Iran that is plausible. Whatever Trump and Putin discussed the former has made it clear that he was not pleased. I agree with the Azov types going West - they (we) deserve them. I just hope they don't make it as far as the Scottish Borders. Can you imagine Azov types in kilts! It doesn't bear thinking about.

Your words are probably not far off Rob.

Their offspring are being reared all over Europe now.

Denmark has also just concluded an agreement for Ukraine to build weapons, in Denmark!

Who knows maybe our elites see a role for the Azov types as a rent a mob/SS unit to subjugate European natives.

What did you think about Zelensky's comment about the use of civilians and siting army units in residential areas as a way of helping the fight? (Video on simplicus update 29/06 if you want to take a look)

The Ukrainians have been using residential areas, including hospitals, to station their troops since Mariupol.

Yes Rob but the way he came out with it live on TV is a first.

Not that it make any difference to his backers.

Same with Israelis. I think the army bases in N Ireland were next to population centres. I know here in Scotland there are army barracks and bases next to residential buildings. Zelensky was explicit though he said it was to deter attacks by the Russians.

It shows how much Russia is hated by Western politicians and their MSM plaything that they have supported that creep and what he stands for.

Trumps bill may be be very significant. Unfortunately in the U.S. congress there is no significant movement for debt reduction. The increase in the deficit number is debated. What passing the bill does is free Trump from needing congress till after the midterms.

Note right after the bill passed more Russiagate info came out, as well as slowdown in Ukraine aid. Plus Israeli attack happened on Iran while the bbb bill was being worked on in Congress.

Thanks for that Ray. I hope it works in the way Trump believes it will - for the sake of America. Happy 4th July btw.

Another solid writeup, Rob. Thanks as always.

Re: Kallas and Frederikson, I generally adhere to the thought to not blame maliciousness when incompetence will explain behaviours, but people like this are far past incompetent, so they must be evil. Imagine having access to information to enable drawing correct conclusions, but instead saying the things they say publicly, full of falsehoods and hate.

This less tumultuous week could be the calm before the storm. I will follow up some of your excellent links, Rob.

William Huo reports that:

"Iran has cut off the U.S. GPS system.

It now runs entirely on China’s BeiDou satellite network.

American signals are blocked inside Iranian territory.

This is not just decoupling. It is hard alignment.

BeiDou is not just newer tech. It is strategic integration.

A live, military-grade system now connects Beijing to Tehran.

Every coordinate, every signal, every missile lock now flows through Chinese space infrastructure."

US missile stocks are running low, so my guess is, given that the Zionists own congress and The Donald, Ukraine has been dropped in favour of supplying Israel. Also, that the 'Ceasefire' is an opportunity to re-arm and reconfigure Israeli strength for another shot at Iran.

Unfortunately for Israel, Iran is definitely doing likewise. Reports are coming in that both Russia and China have been sending large cargo planes, with their transponders switched off, to Iran, now that Iran is open to outside help. Also that Chinese fighter jets and Russian SU-35s are being added to Ira's defence capabilities.

The Yanks appear to be fomenting trouble in two Russian border nations. Georgia, where there are 25,000 US-paid NGOs. Enough to fill the streets with flare-throwing dissidents again; and in Azerbaijan, where the Israeli jets that attacked Iran are said to have taken off from. The oil and gas reserves in the Caspian sea alone are enough for the US to take an unhealthy interest in that nation.

As for EU Nazi descendants, another important one is Ursula Von Leyden.

And in the UK, given that there is cigarette paper thinness separating the UK's major parties, a true left party is coalescing around Jeremy Corbyn. Anti-genocide feeling is helping this.

Oh and here in Oz, where a Zionist organisation took legal action to get a decision conflating Anti-Semitism with Anti-Zionism, a federal Judge has ruled that Anti-Zionism IS NOT Anti-Semitism, and also that criticisms of Israel IS NOT criticism of Jews.

Also, the South Australian government has just passed a law banning ALL political donations. Let us hope that this catches on everywhere!

Good news about that Anti-Zionist judgement. I joined the Labour Party when Jeremy was elected leader and they conflated Anti-Semitism with Anti-Zionism much to Corbyn's disadvantage. It was a bloody Witch Hunt. Livingstone was banned for making a quite justified historical connection between the Zionists and the Nazis and many other members received expulsions. I hope Jeremy's party is successful - I may even join it. He has definitely been vindicated by events. Thanks Joy.

'Plucky' Denmark has re-introduced conscription for it's serfs and has also signed an agreement for Ukraine to produce weapons in Denmark. https://www.msn.com/en-gb/money/other/ukraine-signs-historic-deal-to-produce-weapons-in-europe/ar-AA1HZNVL

Could be troublesome.
