Must big up Tim and his incessant job for 1443 days.
The second day of "Peace talks" got underway early this morning in Abu Dhabi.

An exchange of POWs was agreed yesterday, but there are expectations of much more and the US + Ukraine will respond if Russia again stalls.

It's Day 1443 of the war and this is THE daily thread:

If we break our alliances, we are smaller and weaker. If we break them for pride and power and greed, then we don’t just break an alliance, we break our own character. We diminish ourselves in every way that matters, and no amount of newly sovereign frozen ground can obscure our national shame.

Here I react to the shameful encounter between American leaders and media and the Ukrainian president. No doubt there were more, but I saw five failures on our side: of hospitality, decency, democracy, strategy, and independence. Please watch and share.

We are asking Ukrainians to defeat the armies of Putin and Kim Jong Un. In their efforts to do so, Ukrainians helped bring down Assad. Ukrainian resistance is one of the most stunning military achievements in modern history.

What is preventing World War III? Ukrainians are containing the ongoing war in Europe to their own country; they are deterring war in the Pacific; and they are preventing spread of nuclear weapons. These scenarios have not played out because Ukrainians take risks

There is some comedy around men explaining the plot of The Handmaid's Tale to its author, in response to her tweet. But this also reveals the tragedy beneath – of misunderstandings that point to the moral and therefore political vulnerability of the U.S.

Panowie: #Woś, #Kaleta, #Romanowski i #Warchoł zostali wezwani do zwrotu pieniędzy, które ministerstwo Ziobry wydało na ich obsługę prawną, w sprawach które wytaczali jako osoby prywatne.

Konieczność zwrotu to jedno, ale jak doszło do tego, że korzystali z publicznych środków jak z własnych?
