The former MP, unimpressive Labourite drone Mike Amesbury, stepped down a few days ago, having been convicted of common assault and sentenced to 10 weeks in prison. He had drunkenly assaulted a complaining constituent in the street one evening.
The sentencing judge (district judge/magistrate) expressly refused bail pending appeal, so Amesbury was hauled off to prison briefly before, a couple of days later, having his bail application and appeal very expeditiously heard, his sentence then having been suspended. He does, however, have to do 200 hours of unpaid work; the imprisonment, unpleasant though it would be, might have been less onerous; also, the “10 weeks” would actually have been only 4 weeks long. Still, few would choose the imprisonment (given that choice).
Amesbury, to give him his due, could have simply put one or two fingers up to Labour (which has suspended him) and society, and carried on as an independent MP for the next 4 or so years (though a recall petition might have forced him out later this year). Instead, he decided to step down. I have to admit that I would not have done so, were I in his place.
As to the by-election, Labour won easily in 2024, but that was then; its 52.9% of the vote is not going to be replicated in the by-election. In the opinion polls about the by-election, Labour is only a point or two ahead of Reform UK (in the 30%-33% zone), with the Conservative Party on 20%, a few points higher than in 2024 (perhaps surprisingly).
The “experts” mostly think Labour will win the by-election, though the bookmakers (often unreliable guides in political betting) think Reform has the better chance.
My own view is that only dummies would vote “Labour” (aka Labour Friends of Israel Con-lite) now, after the disastrous past 8 months. Still, there are plenty of dummies out there…
The Conservative Party only scored 16% in 2024, and has no real chance in the by-election, so if Con voters want to stick it to Labour and Starmer-stein, then the obvious thing to do is to vote Reform. As I said, though, the UK is not short of dummies. Time and again we see voters march out to vote for parties that have no chance in a given seat.
Reform itself has been damaged by the recent infighting, perhaps, but the anger and frustration of many voters should not be underestimated. People wanted rid of the 14 years of “Conservative” misrule, only to find that, by reason of a semi-rigged FPTP electoral system, they are now misgoverned by a “Labour” regime even worse (and even less compassionate) than its Con predecessors.
On that basis, I think that Reform has a good chance, a very good chance.

Crimes in the UK by nationality of perpetrator:
Everyone at the Bar of England and Wales knows this, at least in outline, but the Bar is now so packed with craven “me-too” careerists and/or scaredycats that none will say a word. If any do, they get disbarred (as I was), especially if a pack of malicious Jews make complaint (as they did about me).
My reading of that opinion poll is that the voters are unimpressed by all existing political parties. There is a vacuum at present. Reform UK was leaping ahead; it has now stalled. It too much tries to be “reasonable” and “moderate”.
If voters want “centrist” bs and lies, they can vote LibLabCon. Why would they vote Reform? Reform’s leaders are too much focussed on “small boats” etc. Not that that is not a major issue, but “legal” immigration is 20x “illegal”. Yes, 1,000 or even 2,000 migrant-invaders hit the beaches daily now but, on the same day(s), 20,000 or even 40,000 arrive superficially “legally”.
Also, some of the main figures in and around Reform UK are non-whites. That’s no good, and sends a mixed message.
Either Reform UK goes social-national or it will go the same way as both UKIP and Brexit Party. “Conservatism-plus” is not a vote-winner.
Incidentally, that latest opinion poll translates, via Electoral Calculus, into a Commons with 188 Lab seats, 174 Con, 155 Reform, 68 LibDem (Greens 4, SNP 35 etc). Hopelessly hung Parliament, so maybe a Reform/Con coalition.

(((Mark Lewis))) and (((Daniel Berke))) are both fanatical Jew-Zionists. As far as Lewis is concerned, he is both professionally negligent and dishonest. It has been obvious for years. He should be struck off the solicitors’ roll.
I have no idea whether Lewis is in the UK or hiding out in his beloved Israel (he pretended to emigrate there 7 years ago because, said he, there was so much “antisemitism” in England; yet he seems to spend more time here than in OccupiedPalestine Israel).
I cannot imagine who would be silly enough to retain Lewis. He himself admitted in his 2018 Solicitors’ Disciplinary Tribunal proceedings that, at times, he had had no idea what he was writing or doing (by reason, it was claimed, of prescription drug use)! He was actually or effectively sacked by, I believe, all the firms for which he worked, and at the said Tribunal, in 2018, his own Counsel told the disciplinary panel that Lewis should not be fined too heavily (for making many crazed attacks on social media) because his sole assets were his (cheapish, showy) clothes, a mobility scooter, and a private pension worth £70 a week!

I recall my own visit to the Kremlin in 1993. A tourist visit to the Kremlin, in effect, though I was in Moscow on business. Most of my time, though, was my own.
I paid my few roubles early one summer morning, after having swum, as usual, at the Moskva swimming pool at Kropotkinskaya. I would have been the first visitor that morning, had I not gone to sleep in the sun while sitting on a low wall by the little ticket kiosk (now replaced by a modern visitor centre); a Russian family thus bought their tickets ahead of me. In fact, it was their arguing with the ticket lady that woke me up.
My komplekt of tickets entitled me to visit all parts of the Kremlin open to paying visitors (other areas are closed off for the exclusive use of the Russian Government; the Kremlin is more or less like Whitehall, but inside a walled fortification). I visited the Kremlin churches (I was the only visitor, in fact, at that hour). I also wandered around other parts and saw, from above, the green Land Rover of the British Ambassador arriving, Union Jack bravely flying in the slight breeze.
[“On this day of Covid reflection I reflect on how there was no pandemic, Covid was a hoax and the lies of the state inflicted uncounted numbers of deaths and injuries upon the world.“— Neil Oliver]
You still see a few facemask loonies about, here and there.
There is still a disinclination to understand that the “scamdemic” or “panicdemic” was a massive psy-op right across the world. So many people still believe that there was a genuine and deadly “global pandemic”…
Now there is a real public health danger, as millions fall victim by reason of the “vaccines” having caused serious medical problems, especially heart problems. Huge numbers of people, often healthy young people, worldwide have just dropped dead.
One aspect of the years 2020-2022 was the way in which a combination of repressive pseudo-public-health “measures” (invalid laws, regulations made superficially under those laws, and State propaganda, amplified by very well-paid “useful idiots” such as Piers Morgan, James O’Brien etc), enforced compliance.
Any dissidents were labelled, in the Press, on radio etc, “Covidiots” for saying (as I did, on the blog) that people camping on deserted Welsh hills, or walking in the Peak District, or taking a spin on the empty roads on their motorbikes or in their own cars, were not thereby “killing people” etc.
Some people even got prosecuted and convicted for such terrible crimes as having a picnic, though most of such convictions were later overturned when the hysteria had somewhat abated.
The police were particularly stupid during the “Covid” panic. In fact, I should say that the present contempt for the police in the UK, though it had been developing for a number of years, is mainly a reaction to the memory of police shouting from helicopters at elderly couples walking on hills, and examining people’s shopping to adjudge whether purchases were “reasonable” or not (!), which is and was not the job of the police; neither are they authorized by law to do that.
The reach of the State has extended, partly by reason of the craven response of most of the public to the dictatorial measures imposed during the scamdemic/panicdemic. For example, you can now not only be arrested, charged, indeed imprisoned, for owning a copy (hard copy or online copy) of such a work as the 1970s Anarchist’s Cookbook, but also even for simply owning a machete or the like, even if kept in your own home. Some such laws that existed prior to 2020 (eg about supposed “terrorist materials”) are now seemingly used more often, indeed often against young people (sometimes still at school). Socio-political hysteria.
Just as well that the Rhodesian Army panga (a kind of machete), in a handsome light-tan thick leather sheath, which I brought back from my visit to Rhodesia in 1977, was later stolen by the staff of the Kazakh removals company which moved my personal possessions (at least, the ones they did not steal) from Almaty to London 20+ years later.
Well, the “panicdemic” is now history, though attempts are still made to revive it, and with it the control-State of 2020-2022, but new panics have been substituted. At present, the panic all over the mass media is around the non-existent threat of Russian invasion of Western Europe, including the UK. It’s rubbish, of course, but the unthinking part, maybe a majority, of the public seem ready to believe that “we” “have to” fight Russia quite soon.

If ever the UK had a Prime Minister incredibly out of touch, it is Starmer-stein.
Starmer thinks that his pathetic attempts to play the world statesman resonate in this country. No, they do not. Why? Partly because his foreign affairs activities only underline how weak and divided are the European states, partly because Starmer has no credibility at all as a statesman, partly because everything is falling apart in this country. It seems that only Starmer and his Labour Friends of Israel cabal are unaware of how bad things are getting. Policing, NHS, the ever-more-mean benefits system, falling real take-home disposable income, the courts, prisons and, above all, the continuing migration-invasion (1,000-2,000 illegals every week, and also tens of thousands of “legal” immigrants, every week).
Late thoughts about Starmer, Rachel Reeves, and their Labour Friends of Israel misgovernment
Looking at the words of Starmer, Reeves, and various other nonentities now in Cabinet, particularly about their threatened cuts to the State benefits of the disabled, sick and others, can it really be said that the present fake “Labour” government is different in any way at all from the “Conservative” governments of 2010-2024 and, especially, that of 2010-2015? I see no difference at all.
This “Labour” (Labour Friends of Israel) government offers the British people nothing, nothing at all. Both evil and stupid.
Thoughts about Reform UK— where does it go from here?
Reform UK peaked (at least so far) recently at about 28% in the opinion polls; the latest shows Reform around 25%. Not bad, all the same, when the Cons are around 21% and Labour between 25% and 28%. What now, though?
We have been here, more or less, before, with Brexit Party. That deflated for various reasons, not least because voters saw it, not wrongly, as a kind of (real?) Conservative Party. Arguable either way. Farage then stabbed his party in the back so that “Boris”-idiot’s Con Party could “win” the 2019 General Election.
This time around, I think that Farage at least, and maybe the other 4 Reform MPs, want to succeed. After all, they have every chance now that the fake Labour (Friends of Israel) Government is proving even less popular than it was when elected (by the votes of only 4 out of every 20 eligible voters, and out of every 12 actual voters).
At present, we do not have a Labour government, but a Labour Friends of Israel government.
The Conservative Party, equally fake, is still only around 21% in the polls, and few see it as having much chance under the Nigerian woman.
Reform has now hit a reef. Rupert Lowe has been binned, and so will stay on as only an independent MP, unless he either re-enters Reform, defects to the Con Party, or steps down (thus precipitating a by-election).
Reform is a System party in embryonic or fledgling form. Not social-national. However, it has (still) the potential to raise awareness among the people, to shift the “Overton Window”, thus facilitating social national organizations, including political parties, to rise up.
The System would like to revert to the old tweedledum/tweedledee Lab/Con binary (with LibDems as the “alternative” System “dustbin” in the middle). Failing that, to turn Reform into a kind of deeper blue Con Party.
Which way will Reform go?
It has to go for more social-national policies. I see that Matt Goodwin, arguably Reform’s best propagandist (though he may or may not be a member) is now saying that the State should not support the unemployed, sick, disabled etc (so much). This is a rehash of not only the failed and nasty policies of Dunce Duncan Smith, the Jew “lord” Freud etc (2010-2015) but also those being put forward by both Con and Lab at present. Beggar the pensioners, the sick, the disabled, the unemployed, so that money can be thrown at the Jew-Zionist regime in Kiev, or wasted on more useless “defence” spending, or wasted aiding the Jew-Zionist regime in “Israel”/Occupied Palestine.
Reform UK needs to go outside its comfort zone of discontented former Con voters. 8 out of every 20 eligible voters did not vote. Go for their votes.
At present, Reform seems to have a ceiling of 30% support. It needs to nail down some of the truly disenchanted votes. If it can reach 30%, then stretch to 35% by the time of the next general election, it can change British politics forever, and then, if it fades, usher in a truly social-national movement.
Also, the present disunity repels voters. In unity is strength.
If it can weather the storms, Reform can form the next government, but it needs to present an attractive and, above all, powerful image. If it cannot, then the whole thing may just fall to pieces.
Whatever happens with Reform, though, social nationalism is starting to get moving, under the surface of events.

The police are under constant pressure from the Jew-Zionist lobby and/or Israel lobby, of which the “CAA” is but a minor part.
This is a Labour Friends of Israel government, not a Labour government. Note how fake “Labour” is saying more or less the same as “Conservative” parrots such as Chris Philp, and even Reform UK publicist (by any other name), Matt Goodwin.
There is a general push, again, towards finance-capitalist police-state dystopia in the UK, towards lower living standards, lower pay, lower State benefits and pensions, and towards the replacement of British people by the blacks, browns, and others. Coudenhove-Kalergi Plan.

Suddenly, Europe, both EU and UK etc, finds itself almost powerless, and squashed (as was mainland Europe in 1945) between the (?) all-powerful USA and a somewhat powerful Russia.
I should like Europe to find its own way forward in a social-national way, independent of both USA and Russia (but closer to the latter) but, at present, Europe is under ZOG control— pro-Jewish Lobby, pro-Israel, pro the Jew-Zionist regime in “Ukraine”. The present European power structures have to be taken down before a better Europe (call it “Christendom” or “Grail Europe” if you like) can arise.

I have mentioned this before, though long ago, on the blog. There is a tweeter with the same or similar name to me, and who tweets as “@IanMillard100”. I understand that he is an IT specialist resident in Bath.
It is of course not his fault that he has the same name as me and that he tweets (I myself have not tweeted since expelled from Twitter in 2018), but I find it slightly irritating, simply because some people may think that he is me and that his tweets are from me. He occasionally replies to tweets from Elon Musk etc.
Anyway, if any readers were wondering whether “@IanMillard100” is me, he is not me. Over and out.

A now-deceased friend of mine who, as a young girl from a prominent East Prussian —i.e. German— aristocratic family, was a hostage in the Soviet Union from 1939-1942, used to recall that song from her time there. She was at first under NKVD detention, later and briefly a worker on a state farm —not a collective farm— and later still a student nurse —aged about 14-15— before managing to escape by mingling with the Anders Army families allowed to get out of the country: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anders%27_Army.

Do the little men and women pretending to statesmanship —Starmer, Macron, Tusk, Ursula von der Leyen etc— understand what that might mean? Tactical and possibly strategic weapons, Russian weapons, being used against the UK, France, Germany, Poland, Belgium etc. Yes, there would be damage to Russia too, but let’s not pretend that NATO (without US involvement) can take on Russia and “win”, or even survive.
The USA under Trump is not going to back up the UK and EU states if they get into a shooting war with Russia.
Indeed, the belligerent calls from Brussels, Berlin, Warsaw, Paris, and London for fast rearmament, and especially nuclear weapons increases, are likely to make Russian strategists think that those capitals, and connected nuclear weapons production and launch sites, should be eliminated before such proposed nuclear rearmament takes place…
The Speaker of the House of Commons is invariably a self-important and greedy nobody. This one is no different to his predecessors. Remember the Jew Bercow and his “ho” wife? Then there was Deputy Speaker Nigel Evans. I wrote a blog piece about him in 2019:

I disagree with Goodwin there on one point: “Ukraine” (Kiev regime) does not need to be involved in negotiations to end the war, because Zelensky’s cabal has no legitimacy and, crucially, without outside help the Kiev regime side would collapse in weeks, maybe even in days.

“Plans to give staff the right to ignore bosses’ messages outside of working hours are set to be dropped by the government this week.
The proposal to grant workers a ‘right to switch off’ formed a central part of Sir Keir Starmer‘s manifesto vow to establish a ‘new deal for working people’.
But the policy will be scrapped to reduce the impact on businesses that are preparing for tax increases starting next month as a result of Rachel Reeves’s Budget last autumn.
Labour had vowed to copy countries such as Belgium, Ireland, and France which allow workers to avoid emails, texts and phone calls received out of hours, without fear of reprisals.
They wanted to introduce the policy following the surge in home-working to prevent Brits’ homes becoming ’24/7 offices’.
However, on Tuesday ministers will confirm that the policy has been dropped from the Employment Rights Bill when they table a series of amendments.“

A “lost” book review or two found
Round about 2010-2011, some Jews, and one in particular, pressured Amazon or its employees to remove my book reviews. At the time, I was a voted-for “top reviewer” (I think, “top 40”, or maybe 50). The Jew (an “IT” worker, whose name and location — now in Ra’anana, Israel— I know) managed to get me barred from reviewing on both Amazon UK and Amazon USA (so much for American “free speech”).
All my reviews, about 700, were removed. Incidentally, 90% of them did not mention Jews, Zionism, or Israel, or indeed the “holocaust” farrago.
However, some were backed-up elsewhere. I have just found some. Here are a couple:
“One picture is worth a thousand words, in the well-worn phrase. For me, one personal account is worth any number of accounts written by people decades later and purporting to be “true stories”. The same goes for histories of a time in which the historian has not lived. This is why history is a moveable feast.
In this book, the author (at time of publication still living prosperously in Switzerland) is a Jewish teenage boy whose parents had emigrated from the Ukraine after the Revolution. His father started a mineral water plant in Berlin. With the coming of Hitler,the NSDAP and the Third Reich, trading and living conditions became gradually more difficult for Jews in the Reich, though most remained.
The book (in an Afterword) gives statistics about Jewish emigration from Germany in the 1930s, which show that in the early and mid 1930s the exodus was in the region of, initially, a few tens of thousands per year, that despite the fact that the Reich government encouraged Jews to emigrate (but required most of their property or gains to be left behind).
The author was, in 1941, in a countryside “camp” (actually, in a normal building) run by a Jewish organization under supervision of the Reich authorities. The “camp” was in fact composed of young Jewish persons who were expected to do a bit of grasscutting, treefelling etc. He was not under guard and in fact wandered around the country observing this and that. Though once arrested, he spent only one night in custody before being sent back to his temporary home.
The author wanted to be a graphic designer and in fact even in 1941 had been enrolled in an art school reserved for Jews in Berlin.
The above facts seem unremarkable, yet one has to remember that, today, most people in the UK, USA etc, if they think about the point at all, would think that either when Hitler took power (1933) or at least when war broke out ((1939) such a person would be hunted down and placed in a real camp; but no! Here we are in 1941 and the author himself,a Jew and, it seems, a Zionist, at that, tells a different and to my mind wholly credible story.
However, the situation of the author became much worse in 1942. His father was arrested, it seems for something to do with black market butter. There were plans afoot for Jews to be deported to the East: Britain and France, among other countries (Switzerland, USA) had been unwilling to accept the bulk of Jewish deportees from the Reich throughout the 1930s and the idea of sending the Jewish population to either Palestine or Madagascar had been blocked by the colonial powers (the British Empire and France). The book tells of how the initial mustering of the Jewish population in Berlin was done without guards, without Gestapo, without SS, by Jewish officials appointed by the Jewish/Zionist authorities.
The author lived for a while as an “exempted” worker in a factory but then decided he had to take the plunge and live illegally. He was helped by his facility in forging passes and letters and by the fact that he did not look particularly Semitic. He even went beyond survival and started to forge documents for an anti-Hitler group which included some well-connected persons who were part-Jews allowed to live relatively unmolested in large villas around the capital and elsewhere.
Finally, in 1943, the author made his bid for freedom, using his non-Jewish looks, forged passes and other documents and a bicycle (Jews were, at least notionally, forbidden to own them) to get to that part of Germany which abuts Switzerland. He escaped across a stream and was, after a couple of days, given not only asylum but a grant on which he might lived while studying.
The author makes no claims to sainthood and indeed few to victimhood, but just tells his own story honestly (I think) and clearly.
Well worth reading.“
[Title of book reviewed now unknown to me]
Another book review
“Anarchism is a very wide church, ranging from the philosophic and spiritual to the downright criminal. The high-minded anarchism comes largely from (Prince) Kropotkin, whose 19th Century opposition to Tsarism resulted in exile in London (he was a Governor of the Bromley Girls’ High School, still a leading fee-paying college) and in several books, of which Fields Factories and Workshops Tomorrow, and Mutual Aid, are the best known (he opposed social Darwinism by preferring social symbiosis, having observed the latter in the animal and plant worlds). The more criminal stream came from almost mindlessly angry bombers like Bakunin. I have to say that while Christie shows elements of both in his psychology, he is nearer to the latter, as he implies in this book.
Christie details his attempt, as a young fool (which I think he would admit!) to kill Franco in 1964, smuggling explosives in his kilt from France. Carry On Up The Caudillo! In the end the efficient Spanish security service obviously had a traitor in the anarchist ranks; Christie was arrested and could have been garrotted under the cruel Spanish death penalty regime of the time. In the end he was sentenced to 12 years and spent about three years in custody. I was interested to see that (comparing his account with those of people in British prisons of the time) he was in fact treated better under the Fascist “regime” (government) than he would have been in the UK. I was also interested to read how he realized in prison that people of a very different political stamp (ex-SS, OAS members etc) were people whom he could like and respect.
What I like about Christie is his honesty. It is palpable. And I think that overall he is a decent person. I liked his distaste for bullfighting. He could not understand how his anarchistic “comrades” in prison enjoyed it. He is blind to obvious racial-cultural differences in the world. His faults? Well, naivety, firstly. Even in the 1970’s, he seems to have believed that the population of the UK were thirsting for a revolutionary change, whereas in fact they all (well, mostly) either voted for stodgy Labourism or for Mrs Thatcher! I used to occasionally read his Black Flag newspaper circa 1976 and must have been one of a very small reading public for him! He seems to have been (and is still in this book) obsessed with the supposed evils of Franco, but ignores a few facts: the Republicans in the Civil War (Communists and Anarchists etc) killed, tortured and raped to a far worse extent than Franco’s Nationalists; after the Civil War ended in 1939, Franco erected a monument to ALL the fallen; Franco released most of the imprisoned enemies after a few years (Christie admits this aspect); Franco managed to keep Spain out of WW2 (though a Fascist, he was half-Jewish and more or less stabbed his benefactor, Hitler, in the back by failing to join with the Axis. And had Christie (even in post-WW2 Red Clydeside) never heard of Stalin and the Soviet labour camps etc?
Christie strikes me as a kind of fairly simple-minded fellow, who in Cromwellian days would have been a Leveller or something similar. Under other circumstances one could even see him as, perhaps, a Jehovah’s Witness or the like.
Incidentally, both Wikipedia, and Christie’s Guardian obit, say that he was sentenced to 20 years in Spain (Wikipedia probably simply copying the newspaper version). I am pretty sure it was 12, not 20. Still, no matter now. Franco released him after about 3 years, after Christie’s mother wrote to Franco requesting clemency.
I occasionally read Christie’s newspaper, Black Flag, among many and various other journals, when I was a 19-y-o living in London in 1976.
Despite Christie’s pitifully-poor level of socio-political understanding, his was a name with which to conjure in 1976. I recall meeting a small group of anarchists, 3 or 4, in a pub in Maidenhead (no less!) that year, and his name was uttered by them with a mixture of awe and slight trepidation (because he was thought to attract the attention of the police).
Ha ha! Julia Hartley-Brewer is a complete idiot politically and, I suspect, generally. An ignorant radio loudmouth.
I always thought Boris Johnson’s am-dram portrayal of “Churchill reborn” ludicrous, and referred to it on the blog as, in the sense of Marx’s famous dictum (from The Eighteenth Brumaire of Louis Napoleon), “First time tragedy, second time farce“, but STARMER?! Ha ha!

Certainly puts the posturing of NWO/ZOG puppets such as Macron and Starmer in perspective.
The UK has, officially, about 70,000 men (and women, who are about 10% of the whole) in its army, but only about 5,000-10,000 truly ready to be deployed anywhere where they (may) have to fight. Germany is little better off, if at all. France has, officially, about 118,000 soldiers but only a minority are fighting troops (including the Foreign Legion).
Even if UK, France, Germany were to deploy a total of, say, 50,000 to Ukraine, that would only slow, not stop, Russian advances, would eventually kill most of the troops so deployed, and might lead to an actual war between Russia and western Europe, which Russia could not lose, were it to go nuclear (and with the USA standing back from the fight).

I am still seeing a few drunken Westminster Bubblers tweeting about how the only “solution” is for “Ukraine” (Kiev-regime Ukraine) to “be in NATO“.
Utterly asinine. Ukraine cannot join NATO for both formal and Realpolitik reasons.
Formal reasons (under the provisions of the NATO Treaty) include the fact that Ukraine itself claims that part of its territory has been invaded and is under foreign occupation; also, that a war (albeit never formally declared) currently exists between Ukraine and a foreign state. Also, because acceptance of a state into the NATO alliance requires unanimous approval of existing member-states.
The USA will never accept Ukraine into NATO, not so long as Trump is President; neither did Biden green-light the Kiev-regime’s repeated requests. A number of other states will also blackball Ukraine— Hungary for one, probably Italy, possibly Germany; maybe others too.
As to the Realpolitik reasons why Ukraine cannot join NATO, avoidance of war between NATO and Russia is the main one; also, the fact that, to date, Russia is winning the war that already exists.
