Just found out this excellent visualisation tool: visquill.com#/gallery?exa.... Not only that it is great looking and practical, but it is also based on European alternative to the US map services that most of Europeans are still using (despite of US clear intention to break and colonize Europe).

It is hard to be a president of Finland nowadays. He is too smart to believe that but he has to say it anyway.
Finland's President says "We are quite close to a (peace) agreement"

Alexander Stubb, who's as close to Trump as any EU leader, said they're negotiating on 3 separate documents.

These are
❗️A 20-point peace plan
❗️Security guarantees
❗️The reconstruction of Ukraine

OTD in 1994 The Budapest Memorandum was signed. It remains the most spectacular waste of paper, ink, and geopolitical optimism in the history of humankind.

​The deal was simple: Ukraine disarms. Russia, the UK, and the USA promised, in return, to guarantee our security and territorial integrity.

If someone starts talking about the security guarantees ...

USA may not aim missiles at civilians, kidnap children or torture people, but since they stop respecting international law and their own commitments in order to forcefully redraw the borders of other countries, they are becoming the same terrortists as Russia.
This is a 'new' story in the Telegraph - but it's not news.

For the 1st time the U.S. will formally recognise allied territory, illegally seized by force.
Actually Russia is now the ally of the US.

(estate) Agent Vitkov & nepo-baby Kushynumber are taking the good news to Putin

It’s time for Europe to take the initiative and shape the narrative. When the war ends, the last thing I want to see is Trump claiming credit for doing nothing while we stay silent.
We still need to get from a situation where Russia pretends to negotiate to a situation where they need to negotiate.

How long did it take to go from hoping the USA would send long-range weapons to Ukrainian defenders, to hoping the USA would send any weapons at all, and now to hoping the USA won’t start sending weapons to Russian terrorists? One year? Less?

That's a good point. I was always thinking that there must be a certain level of personal wealth when having more makes no difference for you. Obviously, this level does not exist.
One has to be an extremely evil and selfish person to want to be a trillionaire

The new Speaker of the Czech Chamber of Deputies, Tomio Okamura, ordered the Ukrainian flag to be taken down from the parliament building.

He then stated that “the Czech Republic comes first.”

Putin is also doing a lot of extrajudical killings. When I was younger, we called it terrorism.
I’m sorry, why are we using “critics accuse” language here? These are factually, unambiguously, extrajudicial killings. It’s not an opinion. It’s not a disputed or disputable claim.

There is one word starting with “rus” that is actually very nice. Ruska. The fifth season in Finland. 🇫🇮

So ... I don't like fascists. This means that the US administration might kill me any time even outside the US territory. Interesting times.
My gosh. After the US bombed multiple boats in the middle of the ocean, murdering people on grounds that they were allegedly "carrying drugs," the US Attorney General says "Just like we did with cartels, we're going to take the same approach, President Trump, with Antifa."

Můj oficiální odpor k ruské agresi začal před mnoha lety složením protestní básně k situaci kolem cílového místa přesunu sochy jistého maršála, který po skončení druhé světové války pro jistotu vybombardoval Mladou Boleslav. Báseň je velice orginální a zní doslova:

"Ha, líbe-li
Koněv zelí?"

Just a reminder for Czech readers, even if it won’t have an impact:

Babiš and ANO are part of Orbán’s Patriots for Europe, a traitorous pro-Russian group in the European Parliament.

A vote for Babiš is a vote for Putin’s favored candidate, and for Putin

They hate him because he won't bend the knee to every tinpot dictator.
They hate him because he puts the interests of his country before the interests of one man.
They hate him because he is loved and respected like they will never be.

Another EU and NATO member is probably going to flip to Russian side in a couple of days. Don't get me wrong, I don't think that the majority of the people in Czech Republic want this. But the majority of those casting the ballots seems to have different opinion. I still hope I am wrong.

Do I understand correctly that US Government shutdown is a form of paid holidays that everyone should be looking forward to?
Ok. So. A lot of congress will say they “submitted a letter to forgo pay during shutdown.”

Congress is paid once a month so they have 30 days. Secondly, they want you to believe they are saying they will give up their pay. No. They just hold it until it reopens

President of Finland Alexander Stubb:

"When we look at war, there are elements of it that are brutal, vulgar, and unethical. But the kidnapping of children, I think, goes beyond all of that. And we have to think that it's not only about the children being abducted⤵️
