The best explanation for Trump’s Ukraine strategy (from someone with a long career in D.C.): The deal was always going to be so unacceptably bad that Ukraine would have to reject it. Trump can then say we tried to make peace but Ukraine (& Europe) didn’t want peace. And wash his hands of it.

No, the meeting did not go badly for Ukraine. It exposed in the most undeniable, unequivocal way possible the pro-Putin commitments of the president and vice president. That was information Americans and allies needed to have clear before them.

Sombere constatering is dat het met de dapperen die 'nee' durven zeggen tegen maffiabazen doorgaans niet goed afloopt.

Hebben jullie ook het gevoel dat we net mogelijk naar het startmoment van WW3 hebben gekeken? Zegmaar een beetje a la de moord op Frans Ferdinand?

Ben letterlijk misselijk van die scene tussen Zelensky en die twee gore Poetin-klootzakken

Alle media die dit beschrijven als ‘ruzie’, ‘a shouting match’ enz. geven Zelensky verantwoordelijkheid voor de onvoorstelbaar beschamende behandeling die hem ten deel viel. Hier zat een eervol mens tegenover de ergste bullies van het schoolplein. Verschrikkelijk.

Wanneer slechte mensen luidkeels adverteren dat ze slechte dingen gaan doen, dan menen ze dat. Jullie kijken nog alsof jullie iets verrast zijn, of iets anders hadden verwacht. De geschiedenis zit nooit definitief, veilig opgeborgen tussen de kaften van het geschiedenisboek.

Er hangen donkere wolken boven ons continent. Vragen rond oorlog en vrede hangen als een mist om ons heen. Jezus spreekt scherpe woorden. "Doe goed aan je vijanden!" Wat betekent dat voor ons? Mijn preek staat nu online: zwartepeper.blogspot.com/2025/02/oorl...

Yes! Because ultimately Trump’s strength - his ONLY political strength, I’d argue - is that at heart he’s a PERFORMER, and he is at all times keenly aware of the crowd and how they’re reacting. It’s the instrument he’s playing.

The attacks on DEI are a pretext for a much more radical agenda of reversing the gains of the civil rights movement, an objective the Trump administration is pursuing with zeal. A Great Resegregation. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

Far-right politics is about indulging people who are too lazy, selfish, or stupid to tolerate discomfort - the discomfort of learning, thinking, and thinking critically about how you interact with a complicated and uncertain world.

I can’t remember where I read this, but it’s important: Why is it that when people think about traveling to the past, they worry about doing something small that will drastically change the present, but no one in the present thinks that doing something small today can drastically change the future?
