Full text of the Ukraine-US Minerals Deal. 1. Seems fine (an investment and reconstruction fund); 2. Has no resemblance to what the Trump administration has been saying about it; 3. Can't tell if Ukraine is good at diplomacy, or Trump bad at it. www.eurointegration.com.ua/eng/articles...

One of Trump's most repeated lies about Ukraine is his claim that Europe has provided only $100 billion in aid, while the U.S. has given $350 billion. This is an outright lie.

I’d like to remind you that there was no deal or agreement on that. However, Ukraine did sign a written agreement in which the U.S. provided "security assurances" in exchange for Ukraine giving up its nuclear weapons. We would now like our nuclear weapons back

105 years ago today, by signing the Tartu Peace Treaty, Russia declared that it would respect the sovereignty of Estonia forever. 20 years later, Russia occupied Estonia. If anyone believes that Russia is ready to honor treaties in Ukraine or elsewhere today, then prepare for a great war.

Just awful: One of the inspector generals that Trump fired was examining Elon Musk's failures to meet reporting protocol designed to safeguard national security as a major recipient of Pentagon contracts. It's time to follow up on that. New piece from me: newrepublic.com/article/1913...

It could mean that the world financial system melts down when investors realize that Elon Musk may selectively default on US debt. Just saying.

In Russia, estimated 427K people signed military contracts in 2024. That's 35,6K per month of new military recruitment. Since August, RU losses are higher than this, and growing. On the current rate, RU loses 10K soldiers more per month than it recruits, or: RU army decreases by 3 brigades per month
