This isn’t a “peace plan.” It’s a blueprint for Ukraine’s capitulation. If implemented, it would turn this pro-Western, democratic nation, which has been courageously resisting Russian aggression since 2014, into a Kremlin colony. wapo.st/3XcRot6
Opinion | Ukraine needs Russia’s frozen $200 billion immediately, Europe
With Trump seeking Kyiv’s capitulation to Russia, now is the moment for decisive European action.

Anne Applebaum's essay understands the game Putin is playing with 28-pt peace plan. The plan “is misnamed. It is not a peace plan. It is a proposal that weakens Ukraine and divides America from Europe, preparing the way for a larger war in the future.” www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

Russian "peace" is the quiet of death
🔴 UPD: The death toll in Ternopil has risen to 32. The body of a woman was recovered from the rubble on Saturday.

Seven people are still missing following the Russian attack on November 19.

RFK Jr had committed to Bill Cassidy, as a condition to win his vote, that he would keep website language.

Cassidy in February: “If confirmed… CDC will not remove statements on their website pointing out that vaccines do not cause autism.”

Note the language in second photo.

Russians live in hell and seem determined to make the rest of the world burn as well.
Heartbreaking footage from Balakliya, Kharkiv Oblast, where russian missiles hit residential areas.

Three people were killed and 15 injured, including three children.

My first year in DC, I was at an event where Rick Scott spoke, a couple years before he was governor of FL. The Cato Institute's founder Ed Crane was there too and as Scott took the stage Crane leaned over to me and said, "That man's embezzled more money than anyone you'll see in your whole life."

Review | A classic Greek history puts our current turmoil in context
Robin Waterfield’s new translation of Thucydides’ “The History of the Peloponnesian War” offers clarity but little consolation as we face upheaval and conflict.
