Slovenia’s decision to hold a referendum on NATO membership sent Euro-Atlantic elites into a panic. No wonder the referendum was almost immediately cancelled. But a massive ideological taboo has nonetheless been broken—and may inspire others. My latest: compactmag.com/article/sloven…

These talks are going nowhere until the subject of NATO's 'open door' to #Ukraine is addressed, says @proud_diplomat responsiblestatecraft.org/ukraine-peace-…

Outstanding piece by @owenmatth This has been a massive blunder by @ZelenskyyUa He is only backtracking to shore up support in the west. Western elites will back him. Ordinary citizens may start to raise concerns. A change is happening. spectator.co.uk/article/zelens…

'it seems most likely that Zelensky will still be in power this time next year and Putin’s best hope may be a villa in North Korea or breaking rocks in the Urals.' @HamishDBG 6 Jan 25 Instinct and experience tell me this line won't age well.. telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/01/0…

Is this just theater ? asks @proud_diplomat "(Zelensky) needs to keep his Western sponsors on side and for the flow of money and arms into Ukraine to continue. He also wants to polish his image as a putative global statesman." responsiblestatecraft.org/ukraine-peace-…

.@proud_diplomat : Anyone who believes that Zelensky is really committed to accelerating moves towards peace in Ukraine may, I fear, be overly optimistic. responsiblestatecraft.org/ukraine-peace-…

EU leaders plead with Zelensky not to seize control of NABU/SAPO, but for the past 3 years they have ignored and denied the orgy of corruption that has erupted together with the war and that their money helped fuel, or squealed "disinformation" when someone dared to mention it.

Do you want the UK to spend an extra £89 billion per year on defence by 2035 to meet the NATO 5% target and fund proxy wars? Or would you sooner spend money on making Britain Great again for British people?

NEW @proud_diplomat : Why I don't think there will be a Ukraine-Russia breakthrough today or for the rest of 2025. responsiblestatecraft.org/ukraine-peace-…

NEW: Until there is groundwork to talk about #NATO expansion and territory and troops there won't be a direct meeting between Putin -Zelensky. So don't expect a breakthrough at today's #Istanbul says @proud_diplomat responsiblestatecraft.org/ukraine-peace-…

Confusing moment for Ukraine fanboys/-girls in Europe: they so adore Zelensky and insist that Ukrainians want no other leader, they cheer Ukraine as some shining star of EU-ness, and now Ukrainians are in the streets because Zelensky has done sthg the EU says is a deal-breaker

Don't expect much from today's #Rusia #Ukraine #peacetalks in Istanbul 'From Zelensky’s perspective, no peace deal in Istanbul means secondary sanctions against Russia.' I still expect war to continue into 2026. My latest in @RStatecraft responsiblestatecraft.org/ukraine-peace-…

Statues of @realDonaldTrump in every major US city and town will be next....

Buried in amendments to the Interior Dept. Gov funding bill, is a stipulation that the Kennedy Center Opera House must be renamed the 'First Lady Melania Trump Opera House' in order to receive federal funds. The Appropriations Committee adopted that amendment by a vote of 33-25.

Palestinian man walks calmly in Hebron with his arms raised. The Israeli soldiers shoots him in the back. This happens all the time for a simple reason: The impunity the US & Europe provide Israel not only enables this, it encourages the steady increase of Israeli war crimes.
