We are in a bizarre moment of diplomatic history. The purported "peace plan" that appeared a few days ago beings in Russian unreality and American weakness. Demanding everything of Ukraine and nothing of Russia, its purpose is imperialism and profiteering.

Joseph Cotten guested on ALFRED HITCHCOCK PRESENTS #OTD in 1959.
“Dead Weight” was his third appearance—and the third time he played a morally bankrupt sophisticate who meets his comeuppance (à la SHADOW OF A DOUBT).

Any "peace" deal, Putin would use as an intermission, before lunging for the rest of Ukraine. Also, Ukrainians know that there is nothing peaceful about Russian occupation. It is hell on earth. Balts, Poles, and others know the same. We in the West should recognize this.

“We can get maybe ninety per cent of the way with solar, batteries, wind,” Leah Stokes, a professor of environmental politics at the University of California, Santa Barbara, told me.“But geothermal is one of the things that can fill that gap.” "The Heat of the Moment"By Rivka Galchen @newyorker.com
Geothermal energy has long powered volcanic regions such as Iceland. Now, new approaches to harnessing this resource—which is clean, affordable, and bountiful—may usher in an energy revolution. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/3nW3Yn
Why the Time Has Finally Come for Geothermal Energy
It used to be that drawing heat from deep in the Earth was practical only in geyser-filled places such as Iceland. But new approaches may have us on the cusp of an energy revolution.
