According the Trump, "we made a lot of progress on ending that war." My quick assessment of the just completed Mar-a-Lago summit between President's Zelenskyy and Trump. I also examine Putin’s strategic calculus in the wake of the latest peace summit.

The Mar-A-Lago Summit: Quick Assessment
According the Trump, "we made a lot of progress on ending that war." But war is a complex human endeavour which generally resists quick, simple solutions. We need to keep expectations realistic.

My free weekend update is out. This week confirmed the basic truth that Ukraine is winning the war at sea. Offensively the Ukrainians took the war into a vital Russian naval base and attacked a Russian tanker at sea. Russia is far more vulnerable than many admit. open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

Hi All, Timothy Snyder and I held
a Substack Live a little while ago, and ranged widely on the Russo-Ukraine war. It ended up being divided into two parts. Here is part one where we talk about views of Russia, Ukraine and war in 2022. open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

What a powerful video!
Words matter.

The R word blinds people from seeing capabilities.

Its use degrades and dehumanizes people with disabilities. When it's hurtful and wounds millions of people, their families and friends.
