Not verified yet if it was an ICBM, but definitely a ballistics missile.
On the BBC lunchtime news the UK government has said the launch of an intercontinental missile is deeply concerning
Yeah, but that's just the UK Government. Until we get official message board confirmation, I wouldn't be too quick to jump to conclusions.
Now confirmed it was an IRBM, not ICBM. Not that it makes much difference. Russia notified the US just before launch through nuclear risk reduction channels.

So if the proxy war cheerleaders were notified in advance why did they not tell the BBC. Shambles and now lies.

Because they've not paid their licence fee, so need to keep their heads down.
I can remember years ago a UK government video on how to survive a nuclear blast . My two favourites are with only 15 minutes warning to whitewash your whole house to deflect the heat from the blast. The second was to put your bed mattress up against a wall and hide behind it . Yeah, so basically you’re dead .

Another undersea cable, this time linking Sweden and Finland, has now been cut in two places. Foul play is suspected.

Dunno. North Korean troops have been deployed to Ukraine, so a possibility it was linked to that. But the drama appears to be over now anyway.

Martial law to be withdrawn. Thank f*ck for that. I wasn't looking forward to having to become a Korea expert as well.

You should spend 15 minutes on Google getting up to speed because it's not a good look when our Asian political editor in chief gets blind sided by something as significant as this. Frankly it's embarrassing.

I liked the line “ Go to your fallout shelter “. What fallout shelter? The central line ? Yep , we’re dead.

Interesting to see that Russia sat back and let Assad be toppled after propping him up all these years. A sign they're overstretched due to the actions in Ukraine, or some other political reasoning?

It's mainly a two way fight between Turkish and Iranian proxies. Russia wasn't will to risk its fleet at Tartus for Assad.
As for the Syrian people, congratulations on getting rid of your brutal dictator. And say hello to your new jihadist rulers. At least Shamima Begum will now get what she always wanted.

There seems to be an attempt to shut Europe out of any 'peace' deal. I expect Putin would love to deal solely with dummy Trump.

Don’t know loads about it but can only assume trump is in this in order to get in on Ukraines natural mineral resources or something similar?
