As usual, President Putin is very fast on his feet. Russia’s media giant RT reports Putin citing the examples of Iraq and Libya having convinced the North Korean leadership that only nuclear deterrence can protect them. – Russian President Vladimir Putin concludes that ‘no sanctions can dissuade them’.
After Putin’s intervention in Syria, are we going to see Putin take the initiative on North Korea?

Here’s an interesting article from former Greek Finance Minister, Yanis Varoufakis, on a radical vision for Brexit.
Source: I warned Jeremy Corbyn about Brexit – now Labour must regain its radicalism
Although I share very different political views to Yanis Varoufakis, I identify with his argument.
Whilst the Conservative right have been behaving like the Far Right, for whom the end justifies the means, Jeremy Corbyn’s Labour Party is equally culpable, with Far Left membership intent on revolution. The Conservative Government, under Theresa May, are incredibly feeble but Corbyn has failed to act in the national best interest by effectively challenging the government – Corbyn’s simply looking to win the next election after the Brexit omni-shambles.
This week, Brexit Minister, David Davis, will report back to the UK Parliament.
It will be interesting to see who pulls the biggest rabbit from the hat, the Conservative Government, the Labour opposition or the radical centre? Will this be Britain’s Macron moment?
