Is Biden about to allow US weapons to be used to attack Russian soil? 

Time to stop fighting a war with one arm tied behind our back..

A vet from the UK was refused pip and told to go back to work even tho he has no arms or legs, there's vets sleeping on the streets, there is no support for our vets in the UK. Mental health services are not there for normal people never mind the vets, the NHS is struggling with budget cuts and staff leaving the NHS because of the way the recent government's have treat them and the service itself.

The United States’ largest military contractor Lockheed Martin is struggling to find storage space for a fast growing fleet of F-35 fifth generation fighters which have been rejected by the Pentagon, according to a new report from the U.S. Government Accountability Office. With the Technology Refresh 3 (TR-3) upgrade for the F-35 overdue due to serious software issues and delays to spare parts production, an inability to produce aircraft to this standard has led the Department of Defence to refuse to receive additional fighters. The effects of this have been particularly detrimental when considering that other than less than half a dozen F-15EX fighters, the F-35 is the only fighter the U.S. Air Force and Marine Corps have acquired in close to 15 years, with the program already very far behind schedule forcing both services to keep older Cold War era aircraft in service far longer than intended. Test officials have described the TR-3’s software as “unstable,” despite standards for the software block having already been lowered. The number of F-35s in storage at Lockheed Martin’s facilities is within months expected to reach over 100, fuelling calls on Capitol Hill to reduce acquisitions of the aircraft. Indeed, reports have indicated that storage could lead to damage to the aircraft before their delivery. The House Armed Services Committee’s recently released proposed fiscal 2025 National Defense Authorisation Act has thus stipulated a cut of F-35 acquisitions for all three services of the U.S. Armed Forces to just 58 aircraft, down from around 68, which would bring production levels to under half those of the rival Chinese J-20 fifth generation fighter. This is particularly critical since the Chinese People’s Liberation Army Air Force is simultaneously acquiring three major fighter classes all in significant numbers, where the U.S. Air Force other than a very small number of F-15EX fighters is overwhelmingly reliant on the F-35. The F-35’s TR-3 upgrade is not expected to be ready before 2025, with Lockheed Martin having confirmed that F-35 deliveries in 2024 will be 27-50 percent lower than expected.

The title is off, should be... "..to be used in Russia"

I love this podcast series! Always informative and unrestricted. Keep up the great work. Cheers from Canada.

Never bring US $61 billion to a shovel fight

@domnicholls your description of the glide bombs reminds of stories my mother and grandmother told me about the V-1 and V-2 bombs. They may have tech that delivers them closer to the intended target but the fear that they instill and the damage that they inflict have frightening parallels.

Is Putin about to allow Russian weapons to be used in the Red Sea?

It is necessary to look for the answer to the question about the legitimacy of Ukraine’s authorities in its constitution, as legal analysis is needed, Russian President Vladimir Putin said at a joint press conference with his Belarusian counterpart Alexander Lukashenko after their talks. "It is Ukraine that has to answer this question. First and foremost, I think, from the position of the parliament, constitutional court or some other institutions," Putin said. "It is necessary to look up what is written in the Ukrainian constitution, which government bodies are eligible to be extended under Ukraine’s constitution without any elections, without any electoral procedures, and which cannot count on these rights. This can be done based on legal analysis. These are questions to the Ukrainian political and legal system," he said.

I think it would be odd if people came back from war well-adjusted. We are told all our life killing is wrong and then when people go to war all of a sudden it's not only ok, but heroic. And they are trained to see the enemy as trees. PTSD should be the expected response.

i went to normandy and the beaches ...i agree strange sobering feeling .. highly recommend everyone goes where so many men fell and say a small prayer for them.. they gave the ultimate sacrifice for us .. respect

According to war correspondents, on May 22, at 2 p.m. Moscow time, motorized rifle units of the Russian Army, accompanied by armored vehicles, managed to break into the eastern part of the strategically important settlement of 'Novoaleksandrovka'.

I lost it at "of course the Kremlin had a normal one.." 😂

The US seems to be following its previous actions similar to Roosevelt's in 1940s.

Western politicians are in disarray because Moscow now has all the strategic initiative in the conflict around Ukraine, Sergey Naryshkin, head of Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR), told reporters. "Mixed and often conflicting statements and assessments regarding developments in Ukraine are coming [from] the West. The reason is that Western elites are pretty much in disarray after realizing the fact that all the strategic initiative on the battlefield has passed to the Russian Armed Forces," he pointed out. According to the SVR chief, after a year and a half of "droning on about Russia’s so-called strategic defeat on the battlefield," Western politicians find themselves in a much different position today.

Imagine believing that the UK can 'pressure' the US.

Keep up with the good work, guys! I love the show and never miss a single episode. I was listening in Shanghai and now moving back to Amsterdam it will be easier. Slava Ukraine! 🇺🇦

Only a few more years left. Hold in there.

1. Such strikes would have minimal impact and not change the outcome of this conflict. 2. Such strikes would invite retaliation. I hope Ukraine is prepared for it.

The answer to the dilemma over the UN definition and general understanding is that the UN definition is wrong and needs to change. Any wrong laws which ars accepted will never change !

This kind of political hamstringing is exactly how the U.S. lost the Vietnam war.

This keeps escalating. We are heading to all out war.

10:05 lovely crinkly edges Douglas Adams ❤️❤️

Well the birds sound happy...

Thank God I'm a prepper.

The picture on this video is irritating. I expect a more professional report from The Telegraph 😔

End this pointless war

Team Telegraph 👊🏼 Always an interesting listen, with regular authentic insights and overview. With Finland 🇫🇮 & Sweden 🇸🇪 joining #nato recently, the Baltic Sea = Nato Lake! ⛵️ Thanks for updating us 👍🏼

Birds also speaking I love that it is exciting.

Knocking out Russia's early-nuclear warning radar system is not the smartest move for Britain, for obvious reasons. But Brits are these days not the sharpest knives in the box.

Hearing about those French towns that still wish to care for the graves of the men who died fighting to free them during WW2...I got some dust in my eyes.

Just wondering, is there a touch of the Torchwood theme in your outro? I just noticed a handful of notes that bought it to mind. Keep up the great work. I love your podcast. Greets and hugs from USA.

All bodies were exhumed, and reburied with full military honours, on 23 December 1944, in the village graveyard of Rom, France.

On the evening of May 23, the Ukrainian/NATO military launched another missile attack on the Crimean peninsula. According to the local reports, explosions thundered throughout the peninsula, except its western part. The attack was presumably launched by Ukrainian drones and US-made ATACMS or French-British Storm Shadow missiles. Unfortunately, the attack resulted in civilian casualties. According to monitoring sources, at least 16 missiles were spotted heading for Crimea. Some of them were launched from the Odessa region. Also, about four UAVs were launched from the Kherson region. Meanwhile, MQ-9 Reaper reconnaissance drone of the US Air Forces is circling in the sky over the Black Sea. At about 10 p.m. local time, explosions were reported in the area of the capital of the Crimean Republic - Simferopol, as well as in the southern cities of Yalta and Alushta, in the north in Dzhankoy and in the west in Yevpatoria. Sirens sounded in Sevastopol. At least 20 explosions are heard in the Simferopol district of Crimea. Presumably, the detonation of ATACMS cluster missiles. According to preliminary reports, Ukrainian drones were shot down in the Alushta area. Most of the explosions were likely the result of operations of Russian air defense forces. Local sources confirmed interception of several targets in the area. The official report by the Russian Defense Ministry is likely to reveal more details on the morning of May 24. The local authorities confirmed the strikes. The head of Crimea reported that two civilian bystanders were killed as a result of the attack in the Simferopol district. The official also confirmed the strike in the area of Alushta, where an empty utility facility was reportedly destroyed. Emergency services are deployed on the site. Video from Alushta confirmed the strikes in a mountainous area on the eastern outskirts of Alushta. Judging by open sources, there are no permanent military facilities in the area. According to preliminary reports, the Russian military is already launching retaliatory strikes at targets in Odessa region, from where missiles were launched towards Crimea. Supersonic Onyx missiles of the Bastion-P complexes and Iskander ballistic missiles are reportedly heading for Ukraine.

They hsve been using US wepons for ages.

China is not party to the conflict in Ukraine and consistently supports peace and a political settlement, Spokesman for the Chinese Embassy to Washington Liu Pengyu said. "China is neither the one that created the Ukraine conflict nor a party to it. On Ukraine, China’s position has been just and objective. We have worked actively to promote talks for peace and a political settlement," he said. "We never fan the flames or seek selfish gains, and we will certainly not accept being the scapegoat. When it comes to Europe, China looks forward to the early restoration of peace and stability on the European continent and will continue to play a constructive role to this end," the diplomat added.

I almost got a bit choked up when hearing about those small French villages that insisted on taking care of the graves of the young men who died to liberate them. Such a beautiful gesture.

Moscow responds to Russia ATACMS map State Duma deputy from Crimea, member of the Security Committee Mikhail Sheremet said that the demonstration of the map of Russia with regions suitable for ATACMS missile strikes was insane. Moscow has a guaranteed ability to instantly destroy any aggressor, the MP said. "They must keep it in mind that the peace-loving and very patient modern Russia has a guaranteed opportunity to instantly destroy any aggressor, no matter what continent it is on," Mikhail Sheremet said. Sensible US citizens should dump such deranged politicians, who try to plunge the world into the chaos of war, in "landfill of history" as they thereby deprive their country of the future.

Its actually 7 military officers/generals that been jailed or kicked out waiting for jail..something big going on thats for sure

ATP Geopolitics and this podcast are pretty much the only news on Ukraine worth listening to...any other suggestions welcome though

To be fair, the Tories are making changes, which will also help many ex-soldiers (Many Homeless ppl are ex forces) ''Almost 2,500 homeless people have been arrested by police in England and Wales since 2019 under the Georgian-era Vagrancy Act, among them nearly 500 people since the government pledged to replace the act in 2022.''

Remember when Joe Biden said he would heal the world.

Hello Mi-6. The wife of the terrorist who attacked Fico told the police that three months before the attack, she began to systematically show intolerance towards Fico and talk about it with her husband. She also told about the man she had known since 1996, who supported her in this work , and promised his husband in personal conversations the publication of his books and translation into 12 languages. The person’s details are not disclosed, but it became known that he left Slovakia 36 hours before the attack. He left for the Czech Republic. In addition, four accomplices appeared in the case. One handed over a pistol and taught shooting to the elderly terrorist, two monitored Fico and accurately indicated the day and place of the attack, and also escorted him to the square, another provided running expenses and bought tickets to Warsaw for the terrorist’s wife. All four have been identified and three have already been detained. These are Ukrainians.

That would be Biden's Puppetmasters!

We have jammers that work against the Russian glide kinetics. Why aren't they deployed?

title mixed up?

Mordor about to get Himar'd

US weapons used in Russian more like, change title.

we wanna be getting into sumthin, we wanna be getting into sumthin, we wanna be getting into sumthin, we wanna be getting into sumthin, mama si mama sa mama ma sa koosa ....

Of course they need to allow Ukraine use weapons on Russian military resources inside Russia..anything els is absurd!

West really wants to push Russia on using nuclear weapons 😂

the risible cope emanating from the torygraph is simultaneously both stunning & brave

Those last two stories numbed me.

Best podcast in Ukraine.

Waste of time …

lol Long time since I hear a "The West Wing" reference. It took a while for penny to drop. Great show......

This isn't going to end well. This is an escalation that takes us closer to a war we don't need to be anywhere near.

Ok 1 minute we're talking about a real war and then we're talking about movies and crap goodbye

Are they arresting everyone that might be too loyal to Shoigu, just in case .....?

Dumb title…

What a stupid title. M-4 carbines, 777 howitzers, Abrams tanks are US weapons.

My president that I absolutely despise has slow dripped weapons and rules of engagement to the severe consequences to the Ukrainian people.

lol love the "big blue wobbly stuff!!! nice lol

If the option to move is not taken is there a 100% guarantee that harm would be inflicted, if the answer is no, there is no intent. If there is any the harm is known to both parties and the party stays and receives harm, there is no intent if the harm originally is not directed at them.

Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦 ♥️

The west wing reference ♥

If a person is asked and they act to answer, and in those actions there is physically movement, then they have moved out of there own free will, Forced displacement is against a person's will, which must mean no questions asked, or taken

Great speech by Sunak, he is so absolutely right -

If Ukraine's skies were protected troops could go in and help set up defence lines with machinery andnassist with training. It would possibly add to more transparency and reduce pockets of corruption. We cannot pretende that corruption and abuse did not occur in Western nations and continues to occur. I listened today about the problems with the lack of journalists and the damage the war has done to independent media in Ukraine not just in terms of personnel but also the abilty both economically and space and equipment wise. The media helps hold politicians to account and is vital in any democracy as a bridge between policy makers and the people. We can give some University spaces to Ukrainians who wish to learn journalism and provide other help where necessary.

Tor-M2 air defense system shoots down a Storm Shadow/SCALP missile in Ukraine ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-xEkTSarwXzM.html Rare footage of the interception of the Russian Tor-M2 air defense system, the Ukrainian Storm Shadow cruise missile, and possibly the Anglo-French SCALP missile has been published. The location and date of the shooting have not been announced. It is worth noting that the Storm Shadow and SCALP cruise missiles are quite large and the Tor-M2 air defense missile system is difficult to shoot them down, since the mass of the warhead of the Tor-M2 air defense missile system is about 15 kg. Despite this, after being hit by a Tor-M2 air defense missile, the Ukrainian cruise missile caught fire and began to fall. Lamp of Knowledge

Well done Norway on the mive to restrict Russian entry except on humanitarian grounds. I have been suggesting this move for other like minded nations. Putin has his tentacles everywhere . The main problem with it is that there are citizens of other nationalities who are also willing to do his bidding. We do have to scrutinise the funding of political parties and other organisations such as the farmers and truckers who seem to be influenced to act against the national interest. This may be seen as anti democratic but absolutism is a fantasy and just a propaganda tool espoused by trolls.

thank as always for the excellent reporting. the forest service story is heartbreaking /inspiring good useful important vital information.

The conflict in Ukraine will end with Kiev’s overwhelming defeat, unless it is settled diplomatically, US journalist Seymour Hersh said. "America, in the years Biden has been in office, has spent $175 billion to fight a war that cannot and will not be won. It will only be resolved by diplomacy-if rationality prevails in Kiev and Washington-or else by the overwhelming defeat of the understaffed, undertrained, and poorly equipped Ukrainian army," he said on his Substack blog. The journalist noted that he is aware that, in the past few weeks, several Ukrainian brigades told their command that "they will no longer participate in what would be a suicidal offensive against a better trained and better equipped Russian force." An unnamed US Administration representative told Hersh that the advance of Russian troops indicates that, should negotiations begin now, Moscow will make sure it will carry talk from a position of strength.

If Starmer hasnt even mentioned Ukraine in his speech then the omission is relevant. I doubt ine party is very different from the other but onthe issues of national security they should be in some agreement. The foreign affairs policy in a time such as this should be given priority and if Starner cannot take a stand and explain his policy fron the start then he is weak and hedging. I'm very far from conservative but the left or centre left or whatever title they give, are dropping the ball on the war in Ukraine. It is by far the mot consequential geopolitical event of this century so far. It is the job of leaders to lead. Explain why it matters we suffer through weak leaders who appear to have no principles.

Before invading Ukraine, Russia amassed troops under the pretence of “military exercises”. Why can’t the “west” do the same in NATO countries bordering Russia? Therefore no boots on the ground, but surely Russia would have to redeploy military resources thereby helping Ukraine? Thanks

Kaja Kallas, in a public forum called for the breaking up of the Russian Federation - ( ''It is not a bad thing when a big power becomes much smaller'' ). She isn't the only significant political figure to 'let the cat out of the bag' regarding the Wests intentions towards Russia. Does the Telegraph agree with her sentiment ? If so, how do they expect Russia to react to this barely disguised threat ?

Ucraine is winning so... 😅

Rule 1, on page 1 of the Book of War, is: ‘Do not march on Moscow' Various people have tried it, Napoleon and Hitler, and it is no good. - Field Marshall Montgomery speech, House of Lords, 30 May 1962

Loving the West Wing reference.

If it wasn't for the U.S. coercing Ukraine to give up their nuclear weapons and then promising to guarantee Ukraines safety, there would be no Russia Ukraine war because Putin wouldn't have risked nuclear war.

Ukraine can and often does strike inside Russia with drones, artillery, etc. I don't know what Francis is smoking, claiming they have to wait until Russian soldiers cross into Ukraine. Seriously misleading and deluded episode from Tweedledee and Tweedledumer today.

Don't be fooled. Most of us American, GOD loving Christians will pick up arms and join the Russians.

'' President Zelensky....'' ????

why ar the Americans protecting China and Russias land? One has to ask

fingers crossed the US have a change in policy (from Australia).

Biden won't change the policy, i confidently predict. To do so would represent a major escalation. Everybody with a brain can see that this would not gelp the situation. It is worth remembering that both the US and UK plan to negotiate. They have both admitted this. Escalation is inimical to this inevitable outcome.

American’s don’t support this.

Jake Sullivan needs to go, he is ineffective and obstruction to progress, am surprised he still has a job. Thanks to the best podcast!
