An election would be possible if a full ceasefire, which Ukraine has agreed to (and Europe supports), was in place. If this is a priority of POTUS, and it seems to be, he should force Putin to an unconditional ceasefire.

This is especially funny to me because Putin went on a rambling tangent a few months ago arguing that Western leaders are detached from reality (as opposed to him) using as an example the Russian conquest of Kupyansk which the West refused to acknowledge.

The way Susie Wiles reportedly described President Zelenskyy's and Scott Bessent's interaction in Kyiv back in February – which she suggests to be a big reason for the Oval Office blow up – is at least partly inaccurate. I know, because I was there. Bessent arrived in a rush and

russia all the time... we need to ignore their idiotic shrieking

Here we have Yeltsin's conversation with Clinton in Nov 19, 1999 and Putin's conversation with Bush in Jun 16, 2001. What can be discerned from this? 1. Both Yeltsin and Putin regret the loss of the empire status for Russia. Not Soviet communism, mind you, but the global

For the last poor fools who thought, "This time will be different, Trump can't keep getting his marching orders from Putin forever". He’s not changing, so this is on the GOP.

Honestly, I don’t know what kind of diplomacy or common sense is even possible when the White House is occupied by someone with thinking and decision-making this primitive, someone so easily bought and so crudely manipulated by an aggressor state -- again and again, again and

The allegations of there being a 91-drone attack on Putin's residence at Valdai are, quite simply, absurd: 1. The Russian MoD initially reported 89 drones for ALL Russian regions (only 18 in Novgorod, where Valdai is). 2. Residents did not report air defense activity. 3. There

It’s possible to hold both views at once: that Maduro was a tin-pot dictator who deserved to be removed from power, and that unauthorised military action to depose a foreign head of state is a troubling development. Especially given Trump’s rhetoric towards other nations.

To use Art II to justify the Venezuela attack would effectively give Trump a carte blanche to order troops to commit acts of war without congressional approval, then justify it retroactively by saying it was to protect the troops. Circular reasoning, unconstitutional & dangerous.

This is what happens when you recklessly extend BRICS right up to America’s borders and ignore America’s legitimate security concerns.

I’m looking forward to hearing from the Mearsheimer crowd how this was all Maduro’s fault: if he hadn’t have been flirting with Russia and ignoring Washington’s vital great-power interests, none of this would be happening, obviously.

I think the people freaking out about the status of international law in the aftermath of this are missing something even bigger to be freaked out about - what if this works? Trump whacked Soleimani exactly 6 years ago today, and all the people screaming about it were wrong.

Need this

It is not Europe/Denmark/Greenland who should take this serious. I suggest you fucking AMERICANS get your act together and stop these people. And to the US Military say maybe you should think before following orders from madmen.

Most Americans behave as it is all a joke...they are completely passive (and ignorant about the world). How did Russia and Turkey go from democracy (so, so...) in the early 2000s to totalitarian regimes today? The public let it happen. It started out with Putin and Erdogan's

There are three main factions exerting power in the White House: •Rubio’s faction, who are more “traditional Republicans” •Vance’s faction, who are ardent isolationists •Miller’s faction, who are fascist imperialists Note that this is extremely simplistic.

The Europeans have done all they can to try and make this proposal serious and credible, but a serious and credible ceasefire enforced by western forces is the exact opposite of what Putin wants, because Putin's objectives for the total capture of Ukraine remain unchanged.

Right - any Republican who isn’t calling for impeachment now is a fucking coward and traitor. Enough is enough. This unhinged tinpot, is talking about taking by force, land of a US ally. Grow the fuck up and do your job Congress.
