Stoltenburg in defiant mood, in his tank constructed of mental delusions, rather than metal extrusions, crashing forward to glory or destruction........
...... and Starmer driving alongside in his own mental tank protected from conventional Russian cordite by the latest experimental rhetorical armour designed by some Labour back-room boffins.
Einstein's words of "doing the same thing more than once and expecting a different result each time is the definition of stupidity" Indeed, that what medical quack of yore did as a matter of principal - leech, cup, puirge, bleed, and if the patient worsens, re-apply the treatment more drastically.
Another phrase for this is "double down", and we've heard that a lot too.
These people are insane and they ruling us with lies and propaganda. I sometimes feel like we're living in a re-run of pre-War NAZI Germany. when a whole populace have been gulled into queuing for their own destruction.

Starmer gets first big diplomatic win with ‘irreversible’ Ukraine Nato membership plan Less than a week since becoming prime minister, Sir Keir Starmer has set about repairing Britain’s reputation on the world stage
Sir Keir Starmer has begun to reset Britain’s relations with key allies as his plan to ensure Ukraine’s pathway to joining Nato is irreversible is set to be adopted.
The new prime minister arrived in Washington with support for his aim to protect Ukraine’s entry process into the Nato alliance from any potential interference from a Trump presidency.
He has spoken of his hopes that military and economic aid to Ukraine from Nato will be Donald Trump-proof should the former US president retake the White House in November.
With Nato leaders making the war in Ukraine one of their main topics, Sir Keir’s long-term call – which he made as Labour opposition leader – for the “irreversible” membership strategy is expected to be a key part of discussions.

As I say,Europe / US 2024 mightn't be as cruel and vicious as 1930s Germany, but we seem hardly less insane and bellicose and determined to our own ruin. .
-Well, the idiot has just gone & placed UK security in the hands of the Nazi-Ukrainian regime which will now try hit something important enough in Russia with the shiny Brit murder-toys whilst waving union jacks to ensure the UK becomes a target for reciprocation whilst Starmers personal permission has further assured it will be a legitimate one.
-No consideration that the China obsessed US may just leave the UK out on the lonely limb it willingly walked out on when that shit hits the fan.
So neither perspicacious in respect of probable actions/reactions by Ukraine, then Russia nor indeed our supposed ally the US.
This is not "diplomatic" in the slightest. It's anti-diplomacy: a calamitous move without any possible positive outcome. UK hubris at its finest...and hubris will bring nemesis to the party.
I suspect the UK is going to be given a hard lesson: a terrifying thought, as our leaders are clearly incapable of learning anything at all and will doubtless double down on their foolishness.

Newspaper headlines after July 4th heralded Starmer's win as a St Crispin's Day moment
Last Saturday's headlines in many newspapers were truly comical - the FT (Voice of the People natch) spoke for most with "Now the Work Begins" - ah, I love me a media love-in and it's just so cute how supposedly intelligent and educated journalists pretend to believe that Starmer's 'pledge' to rebuild trust and Britain had any substance at all. For much of the media, his election heralded a St Crispin's Day moment - while old men forget, we few, we happy few who were alive on July 4th will always remember where we were when Labour's victory was announced.
He's clearly The Chosen One so the stance on Ukraine was to be expected. Nothing in this country works properly any more - we can't fix pot-holes in roads for heaven's sake. Our armed forces would fit into Wembley Stadium; we can't field a ship that can go more than a couple of miles without breaking down and we have to buy American turkeys for the RAF to fly. But, man, can we posture and strut on the world stage.
We're led by fools - dangerous times ahead.
