'Exit strategy.'

That choice of words reflects an assumption that America has the luxury of abandoning Ukraine without our homeland suffering the consequences.

This line of thinking draws false lessons from American 'exit strategies' in places like Vietnam and Afghanistan.

Please inject this into the National Security Council.

Having covered Yale in 2015, when the social justice-coded position was that a polite email about Halloween costumes ruined the safe space students needed to learn, it's staggering to see the scenes like this from left-activists (not sure if they are students or not), and no

Knife by Salman Rushdie is a true miracle. Yes, it describes in painful detail the horror of what happened, but it’s also a mediation on happiness and love. Surviving the attack took strength, but this kind of writing takes wisdom.

The Ukraine aid bill passed by a margin of nearly 200 votes. A gang of morally compromised ideologues held up the will of the American people to support an ally in the fight of its life. Remember the “nay”votes today and render them unemployed tomorrow.

pure gold

Russian propaganda produced a music video almost completely consisting of swear words, promising to 'fck Ukrainians' (of course using a slur for Ukrainians), showing 'no mercy' for Odesa and other cities, and revenge for Russia. Are you losing, Russians?

It’s amazing to me the number of people who are comfortable abandoning Ukrainian civilians to a violent fascist occupying power instead of fighting a winnable war and that saying “hey maybe we should do that and win a stable peace” is considered heresy.

I was sad to learn of the death of Terry Anderson whom I knew at CPJ Europe and Central Asia yahoo.com/news/terry-and… It's too bad his great board work at CPJ was tacked on to the end after a piece that focused too much on PTSD. He was kind, thoughtful, speared reforms at CPJ, a great listener

It's as if the natural world of animals and plants also have pandemics when we have them... I wonder how much tinier the $7 bags of chocolate will get.

When I worked on the Magnitsky Act in 2012, it passed the Senate 92-4. I joked afterwards that “there was no pro Putin torture and murder lobby in Washington”. I’m afraid to say that times have changed. Senator JD Vance is now parroting Putin’s exact words claiming that seizing

While wearing the uniform of Ukraine it is inappropriate of me to criticize the United States.

However, get us the damn aid now.

Please and Thank You🇺🇸🙏🇺🇦

It is very odd that there are Nazi units fighting for Russia which are ignored with instead a laboured and idiotic attempt to portray Azov as Nazis which reveals only the Ukraine illiteracy of those concerned. Happy to explain all in a thread if there is interest.

Russian law enforcement claim they have detained neo nazis in the occupied Crimea and of course, they apparently had obligatory US and EU flags.

Russian police are absolute clowns

I was feeling very impressed with myself that I finished 'Siberia and the Exile System' by George Kennan (1891) until saw '1,000 pages' and realized I'd only read vol. 2, and vol. 1 is still to go! Wonderful book. I'm ready to go backward to vol. 1 now

Russian bullsh*t repeats itself. 1939 issue of RT (Russia Today Society) a propaganda pamphlet from the 30s & 40s produced to counter Western Media. Bullsh*t justifying the Red Army invasion of Finland thats remarkably similar to todays anti Ukraine conspiracies.

Russia is creating new Aleppos

How come the news about the resettlement of the Kyrgyz population from Barak exclave, located in Uzbekistan, into Kyrgyzstan received such a little coverage and attention? The issue of enclaves, exclaves and borders is still very pertinent for the region rus.azattyk.org/a/32907607.html
