Rather unkind of #bbcqt to put an obvious ignoramus like Jan Halper-Hayes in the hot seat to defend Trump’s disgusting betrayal of Ukraine.

There was once a time, not so long ago, when true alpha males would just free-hand their criticality experiments. Before the brass at Los Alamos went woke and mandated that all experiments had to be done by "remote operation" and "with proper oversight." Was it risky? Sure — but REAL men LOVE risks.

"The Trump administration and Ukraine must both be struck by the parallels to a previous Trump peace agreement in which another inexperienced secretary of state made a deal with a more seasoned enemy to end a war without any American allies in the room."

With respect, no country that tries to hold an election with 20% of its territory under occupation and 30%+ of its population displaced while under persistent bombardment will remain a healthy democracy for long. And no healthy democracy should subvert its constitution in the service of expediency.

Five former Treasury Secretaries: "Any hint of the selective suspension of congressionally authorized payments will be a breach of trust and ultimately, a form of default. And our credibility, once lost, will prove difficult to regain." DOGE is a trust bomb. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/10/o...

I am really frustrated that the press is discussing the destruction of USAID as something that has happened rather than an illegal action that will likely be undone in two weeks when courts tell the world that it was illegal.

A new piece from me where I poke around Putin’s approach to foreign policy. A slightly unusual piece, even for me, which I hope you’ll enjoy reading as much as I enjoyed writing it. www.cirsd.org/en/horizons/....

NEW: I got a RARE look inside the underground complex where America conducts its subcritical nuclear weapons experiments. I was told reporters hadn't been down there since the mid-1990s. Read on to learn how American maintains its stockpile without underground tests. www.npr.org/2025/01/29/n...

Predictably cannibalistic sentences: Alexei #Navalny ’s lawyers convicted of participating in an 'extremist organisation' got real jail terms: Vadim Kobzev 5.5 years; Alexei Liptser 5; Igor Sergunin 3.5. What is their 'extremist' crime? Passing on letters from the client. 📷 Mediazona

#OTD 4 years ago, Alexei and Yulia return from Germany, where he convalesced from the poisoning. The plane is diverted to another airport; he gets arrested and detained, never to be released again. One year later, Putin invades Ukraine; 3 years after Alexei #Navalny is murdered in arctic jail.

@msharif1990.bsky.social please tell me the Globe’s editors are responsible for this story failing to mention that Georgeanne Burke isn’t some random Trump supporter in Canada, but rather a prominent Conservative Party insider: www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/artic...

In January, the ICJ ruled in Ukraine v. Russia, finding that there was a violation of the convention on racial discrimination concerning the lack of access to education in the Ukrainian language in Crimea. Anastasiia Vorobiova explains what the ruling does and doesn't include.

My editorial piece in @nationalobserver.com We are not in ordinary times. We are in Trump times. The clock is ticking down on the arrival of the chaos machine in Washington. Canada is staring down a political tsunami but we're too busy to notice." www.nationalobserver.com/2024/12/27/o...

If you watch something today please take time to watch my thoughts on the crisis facing Canadian democracy. We are in deeply uncertain times and parliament is failing to step up beyond dumbed down partisanship. Democracy is not meeting the crisis of the time. www.youtube.com/watch?v=VHPL...

Given CNN seems to be relying on my reporting on Kash Patel & QAnon for this segment, I want to respond to the Trump transition team's statement. My reporting was not about "guilt by association." Patel's association with & praise for QAnon was multifaceted & for a significant period of time.
