Q: What did you mean when you said you're prepared to send 'more than the National Guard' into American cities?
TRUMP: if I want to enact a certain act, I'd be allowed to do whatever I want. The courts wouldn't get involved. Nobody would. I could send Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines -anybody I want

"Such is their fear of jail, bankruptcy or reprisal, that most people I spoke to insisted on anonymity. This was in spite of the fact that many of the same people said Trump would only be restrained by powerful voices standing up to him." My Weekend FT essay. Please read it. on.ft.com/4hqblpr

Onze dierbare vrienden Alyona en Ghenja zijn vandaag vermoord door een Russische droneaanval op hun auto.
We verliezen niet alleen onze vrienden, maar ook de helft van ons team.
Hun dood maakt ons vastberadener om het goede te blijven doen voor hen en iedereen die door dit geweld wordt getroffen.

Trump waves around renderings of his new ballroom, which appears to be entirely gold
"Whatever lies behind Trump’s cupidity towards Putin, we should be long past caring why. The reality is settled fact. Putin has fewer cards in his hand than Trump supposes. One of those cards is Trump." My column. www.ft.com/content/7deb...

Absolutely staggering — the ‘president’ of the USA defending the idea that when you invade another independent country, you somehow have a right to its property. Madness at its peak.
[Q]:Did you get any sense from Putin that he would be willing or open to the idea of ending this war without taking significant property from Ukraine?
[Trump]:Well,he's going to take something. I mean,they fought&he has a lot of property.We're the only nation that goes in& wins a raw& then leaves.

"The US president tossed aside maps of the frontline in Ukraine, insisted Zelenskyy surrender the entire Donbas region to Putin, and repeatedly echoed talking points the Russian leader had made in their call a day earlier"

None of us should put pressure on Zelenskyy when it comes to territorial concessions. We should all put pressure on Russia to stop its aggression. Appeasement never was a road to a just and lasting peace.
Zelensky: I don’t understand why the leader of the largest country on Earth needs a few more kilometers.
“This war is not about land; it’s about our independence,” he said.
