Hi All, After Trump's extraordinary outburst yesterday I just released this free piece. For once he spoke the truth. Ukraine can win, liberate ALL of its territory, and Russia is much weaker than he and others have been claiming.. open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

Here’s an idea. The west has held about $300 billion in Russian assets. They should release 2 billion a day to Ukraine until Russia stops the war, or they disperse it all.

Then Russia will have to accept the war has an additional real cost per day

No. Democracy is a system. And as all systems it can be concentrated as long as the majority wishes it so and the constitution doesn’t prohibit the act.

BREAKING: ICE is sending Russian dissidents back to Russia. When the dissidents arrived in Russia, the Russian authorities were given documents relating to their asylum applications in the US which under US law are confidential. This seems to be part of a secret agreement between Trump and Putin.

‘I escaped a Russian prison — only to end up in an American jail’

Dozens of Russian dissidents have been expelled from the US and forcibly returned to Russia with the co-operation of immigration authorities

The President of the United States is threatening to go to war with an American city.

This is not a joke. This is not normal.

Donald Trump isn't a strongman, he's a scared man. Illinois won’t be intimidated by a wannabe dictator.

🇩🇪 Merz: Putin is a war criminal. He is perhaps the most serious war criminal of our time that we have seen on a large scale. We must be clear about how to deal with war criminals: There is no room for leniency.

Putin and Modi are visiting China for a major summit, giving Xi a platform to showcase global influence, NYT reports. As Trump distances the US from India and engages Russia, Xi promotes an alternative world order alongside Moscow, supported by a military parade.
