Russia doesn’t have the resources to fight indefinitely against Ukraine’s organization and determination, @anneapplebaum.bsky.social writes. The only way for Putin to defeat Ukraine is to convince Ukraine’s allies to be sick of the war.

"Trump is genuinely bored of the war. He doesn’t understand it. He doesn’t know why it started. He doesn’t know how to stop it. He wants to change the channel and watch something else." www.theatlantic.com/internationa...

I can't find myself getting too worked up over the various "what if Canada was a part of the United States?" thought experiments but the NY Times one is particularly dumb because it suggests a version of events where Canada is forced into statehood but somehow Quebec gets to opt out and be a country
