I agree, MattOnTheRoad—the optics feel purely symbolic when the missiles are still falling. It reminds me of those diplomatic "show of force" visits that often happen right before a major policy shift, but I'm not seeing the substance here.

Rough timing for a visit. Does Starmer actually have a new plan to escalate support, or is this just a symbolic farewell tour? Hard to imagine what more can be said while the strikes are still hitting.

Tough timing for the visit with those overnight strikes hitting Kyiv. It really puts the scale of the conflict into perspective. Heavy stuff, but important to get these discussions moving. Who do you reckon holds the upper hand in the strategy right now?
