Ukraine charged a Russian commander who ordered his crew to fire at least 15 rounds from a 30mm cannon at a civilian car evacuating three people

Since 2022, Ukraine has recorded over 190,000 Russian war crimes, with 1,029 soldiers being charged

They also elected a president convicted on 34 counts of business fraud. They don't care about fraud.

The image of the Sunshine State being like a tropical island is not entirely accurate. It will be a few degrees below 0 °C tonight/early morning where I live in north FL. We always get some freezing weather during winter. (Not complaining, it warms up during the day.)

The murder of Khashoggi is horrifying. It is also horrifying that the occupant in the White House could care less. Trump is a sociopath who wants to destroy democracy so it should never be surprising when he sides with tyrants.
Seven years after the murder of Jamal Khashoggi, the world is being asked to forget what happens when governments decide reporters are disposable—and to turn away from what that precedent means for all of us.

An example of the difference between the Democratic Party and the party of oligarchy. Also an example of a tragic type of American "exceptionalism" - virtually all developed countries have some form of universal health care. The burden of medical debt is unknown in those countries.

Do not like to link to a Fox outlet but this is an excellent summary of background of the destructive Rodman Dam, which serves no useful purpose. Excellent comments from Professor Steve Noll, co-author of Ditch of Dreams.

I strongly agree.
"Morally, these crimes are of such magnitude that to put them on hold in order to talk to the person who ordered them would destroy the common ground that holds a civilization together. It is literally unthinkable..."
Far from any controversy or second-guessing, in this 157th long read on my international relations & strategy blog, I explain why it would be inconsistent to talk to Putin again—the risks are countless.
I revisit there the question of our ultimate goals.

Ed Davey is absolutely right - the U.S. is no longer a reliable ally. In fact, many of our formerly closest allies view the occupant of the White House as a threat.

This is unique situation in modern history.
President Trump has shown, again and again, he can’t be trusted as a reliable ally.

The Prime Minister needs to stop hoping for the best and start dealing with reality.

Reflecting on shocking murders of the Reiners and other homicides in news, I wonder how many Americans know someone who was murdered.

I have to count myself. The victim was a very fine woman who was a dedicated civic leader, chair of Common Cause FL.

Need to do far more to prevent violence.
