Russia isn’t winning. They’re burning through men, tanks older than your dad, and begging North Korea for troops. That’s not strength—it’s desperation. We didn’t let them win the Cold War, and we won’t let them fake a win now.

My response to JD Vance after he played down a possible peacekeeping force for Ukraine as “20k troops from some random country that hasn’t fought a war in 30 or 40 years.”

old Soviet joke for our times:
Guy stops by the newsstand every day, scans the front page, doesn’t buy the paper. One day the vendor asks what he’s up to.
Guy says: “looking for an obituary.”
Vendor says “those are towards the back of the paper, comrade.”
Guy says: “not the one I’m looking for.”

Tomorrow will mark three years since Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
A day that will forever live in infamy.
Today we’re hoisting the Ukrainian flag at our headquarters.
It is flying high and proud at the heart of Europe.
Where it belongs.

Germany selling out to Russia over Nordstream was self-sabotage but it had a logic: Russia had cheap gas that Germany could use. The US turning towards Russia is mad. The US is the world’s biggest oil and gas producer. What does Russia have that America needs?
Americans should know that Trump just abandoned allies with a combined GDP equivalent to US GDP, in exchange for Russia which has a GDP only 6% the size of US GDP.
And Trump convinced MAGA that they were all going to be rich.

One to watch. A key factor for EU unity will be whether Meloni remains on her pro-Ukraine stance or whether her transatlanticism turn her into a Trump/Vance ally in the room.
Italian media “retroscena” unanimously that Giorgia Meloni is skeptical of the Macron’s summit in Paris.
Meloni would have preferred an EU Summit. Still believes that Trump is an ally. And shares some substance of JD Vance’s speech.
Retroscena: story on the behind the scene activity.

As Vance 'lectures' Europe on free speech, it is good to be reminded that the United States ranks 55 (!) on the World Press Freedom Index.
