It was noticeable when President Volodymyr Zelenskyy addressed the European Parliament the only European Leader not to applaud him was one Victor Orban which is appalling behaviour.

This is slightly off topic but still relevant to the Russian Invasion of the Ukraine.

Immigration authorities in Argentina are cracking down on Russian women who since the invasion of Ukraine have started travelling to Buenos Aires to give birth in order to gain Argentinian citizenship for their c___dren.

The director of Argentina’s immigration office, Florencia Carignano, said on Friday that a judicial investigation has been launched into what she described as a lucrative business that promises Argentinian passports for the Russian parents.

Carignano spoke after 33 expecting women – all between 32 and 34 weeks into their pregnancies – arrived on the same flight late on Thursday. Several of the women were initially turned away at passport control but were eventually let into the country.

While the concept of birth tourism isn’t new, Moscow’s isolation from the west as a result of the war has made Argentina, where Russians face no visa requirements, a popular destination for families looking to give their c___dren the privileges of second citizenship

The main advantage of the Abrams tank is that it is proofed in battle and there are thousands of it when needed and they can still be built.

It was a political choice. The advantages are offset by the considerable logistic tail needed to maintain same and practical difficulties (for example will a bridge take its weight). The excellent Leopard avoids many of these problems and is freely available in Europe.

Leopard is a bit lighter but the also provided Challenger 2 tank is even heavier.

I believe Challenger to be a political choice also. Also they might have to take off the world class reactive armour to prevent russia from getting access.
