In Ukraine, General Zaluzhny and Zelensky are in a pissing match. Let’s hope Zaluzhny wins. From Andrew Korybko at korybko.substack.com:
The purpose of this analysis is to place the past week’s Zelensky-Zaluzhny drama into context in light of Nuland’s previously unannounced trip to Kiev and Hersh’s latest bombshell about the real reason why Zelensky wants to sack Zaluzhny.
Hersh’s Latest Bombshell
Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Seymour Hersh cited sources to report on Thursday that “Zelensky’s desire to fire his commanding general is the result, some Americans believe, of his knowledge that Zaluzhny had continued to participate – whether directly or through aides is not known – in secret talks since last fall with American and other Western officials on how best to achieve a ceasefire and negotiate an end to the war with Russia.” He might be onto something for the reasons that’ll now be explained.
The Curious Timing Of Nuland’s Latest Trip To Kiev
The past week was characterized by speculation about the Commander-in-Chief’s future after Ukrainian sources reported that Zelensky demanded his resignation on Monday, which Zaluzhny refused to tender, and then Western ones claimed that he’ll be fired sometime in the coming future. German media added a new twist to this drama by citing their own sources to claim that top generals refused to accept Zaluzhny’s firing, which forced Zelensky to backtrack for the time being and re-evaluate his options.
As this was unfolding, Acting Deputy Secretary of State Nuland of “EuroMaidan” infamy traveled to Kiev, though it’s still unclear why. Some believe that it was tied to reports that the US will soon give Ukraine Ground-Launched Small Diameter Bombs (GLSDB), thus accounting for why she said that “Putin is going to get some nice surprises on the battlefield”, while others think that it’s connected to this drama. She probably came mostly for the first reason but also discussed the second issue while there too.

Bojo penned a rambling shambling article about mandatory conscription in waive the rules UK and the youngsters are not happy.
This might be to prep them for an escalation against the SMO and Putin as they fear Ivan on the march to the English Channel.
