A bad day for Russia is a good day for the rest of the free world!
"Starmer added that after the ceasefire, “The UK and France will establish “military hubs” across Ukraine And build protected facilities for weapons and military equipment to support Ukraine’s defensive needs.”
Still waiting to hear what Canada's contribution will be. I would speculate it may be to increase focus and assets in the Baltics and re-establish a permanent base somewhere in Western Europe for a rapid reaction type force.
With financial, materiel, and economic support going to Ukraine itself.

Finally, Martin from BTC Prague wonders how to empower bitcoiners in the UK.
He's inspired by many UK scientists and artists and creators.
But he thinks it's declining. Socialism and regulation reducing freedom.
His home country had a peaceful velvet revolution, ending communism in the 80s.
And it now has a law that there is no capital gains tax on long term held bitcoin!
The UK, he thinks, needs to build new strong bitcoin based money to have it's own peaceful revolution.
