America needs robust leader who will defend the West against half-mad tyrant Putin fixated on war
We cannot flinch now in our support of Ukraine, nor in dramatically bolstering our own defences
Tyrant’s lies
IT has become a cliché to call Putin the new Hitler. But his two-hour TV interview makes that conclusion inescapable.
He even defended the Nazi leader, saying he was provoked by Poland into starting World War Two, like Russia was “provoked” by Nato aggression into invading Ukraine.

Both claims are laughable. Besides, Putin long ago set out his crazy excuses for butchering Ukraine.
He thinks it’s not a real country because it only dates back a century.
Plus, he wants a new Russian empire stretching across Europe.
Any justification beyond his simple lust for conquest is a lie — fodder for anti-Western conspiracy nutters.

But even if we take with a pinch of Siberian salt Putin’s threats of a new world war and boasts about “unstoppable weapons”, this much is obvious:
We cannot flinch now in our support of Ukraine, nor in dramatically bolstering our own defences.
And America needs a robust leader who will defend the West against a half-mad tyrant fixated on war.
Vladimir Putin says he HASN'T spoken to Joe Biden
Woe Biden
HOW can anyone close to Joe Biden still think he is fit to remain President, let alone to stand again for four more years?

A man judged too mentally frail to be tried for hoarding classified documents should not be leader of the free world.
Biden cannot recall when he was vice-President, nor the year his son died.
A US Special Counsel who interviewed him called him “a well-meaning elderly man with a poor memory”.
His decline has been obvious for years.
At yesterday’s press conference where he angrily tried to rebut such fears he confused Egypt with Mexico.
Days earlier he called France’s President Macron “Mitterrand from Germany”.
Such a feeble Democrat candidate could gift power back to Donald Trump this year.
But plenty who loathe Trump also fear four more years of Biden in such a febrile world.
The Democrats must move to stop him or his woeful and unpopular No2 Kamala Harris from standing.
Easier said than done if they resist . . . but vital for America and the West.
Doctors? No
ISN’T it time the Corbynite union clowns leading the junior doctors into incessant strikes were struck off by the GMC?
Their political war has inflicted immense damage on the NHS and on suffering patients.
And they seem far keener on activism than medicine.
As for their BMA members, and the crippling new five-day strike this month, we do wonder why they bother.
The Tories won’t cave to their fantasy pay claim.

But if the polls are right the Labour Government they long for will be in power soon enough.
And it will buckle in seconds.
