Ian Rons sets out the reasons why he thinks it's very unlikely that Putin will use a tactical nuclear weapon in Ukraine and worries that exaggerating this risk has stopped us providing Ukraine with vital weapons.

Ian Rons has written about Calvin Robinson’s views on Ukraine again for the Daily Sceptic, this time in a good faith effort to get Calvin to change his mind. Ian believes there can be no peace without Putin's defeat.

Calvin Robinson’s pox-on-both-their-houses position on the war in Ukraine is intellectually lazy and morally wrong, argues Ian Rons in the Daily Sceptic.

According to a new report, Zelensky's decision to ban three pro-Russian TV channels was the "last straw" for Putin. Yet an advisor to Zelensky previously said the move was "calculated to fit in with the U.S. agenda".

According to Ian Rons in the Daily Sceptic, the drone attack on the Kremlin is unlikely to have been a false flag operation. He thinks the Ukrainians were behind it.

A few weeks ago, Ian Rons expressed doubt in the Daily Sceptic that China was about to sell weapons to Russia. Given China's support for a UN resolution labelling Russia the aggressor in Ukraine, it seems he was right.

The recent assassination of Vladlen Tatarsky has been blamed on Kiev. But Ian Rons believes it's at least possible that he was the victim of an internal power struggle within the Russian government.

It was not NATO’s eastward expansion that provoked Russia into invading Ukraine, but Putin’s imperial ambitions, argues Wesley Smith.

A recent article in Die Welt by Christoph B. Schiltz said it was impossible for Ukraine to win the war, claiming it is running out of men and matériel. In fact, the opposite is true.

According to a leaked Russian government opinion poll, popular support for the war in Ukraine is beginning to weaken. Twenty-five per cent of respondents want the war to continue vs 55% who want a negotiated settlement.
