The preschooler, Belle Thomas, and her 1-year-old brother, Preston, are looking straight into the camera lens and smiling. Just then, a former president of the United States strides into the frame. That’s how Barack Obama inadvertently became part of a family’s moment in Washington.

I'm watching CNBC. These anchors are so angry. They really didn't believe he'd do it. They're actually just now, 10 years into this shit, realizing he's a maniac hellbent on revenge and there's no grand plan for the markets. Better late than never but holy shit.

Drones have changed the war in Ukraine. Soldiers now swarm the front lines with adapted off-the-shelf technologies that are being turned into killing machines at breakneck speed. As a result, the third year of the war was deadlier than the first two years combined. nyti.ms/4bp7FRG

I will never forget the photo of Zelenskyy’s face after he saw Russia’s war crimes in Bucha in 2022. He seemed to age years in an afternoon. Watching him constantly cross the world asking for aid that should have been thrown at him is one of the deepest shames of our age.

There is a lack of understanding that this is a long war and it will not go away, even if Donald Trump speaks about a ceasefire. It’s about the European security order and Russia’s role in the global order and Ukraine is key here. - Stefan Meister https://buff.ly/3ESiH5U
