3/2/25 London Emergency Summit attendees. Remember them.

Slava Ukraini

Roll out the red carpet.....

I’m pretty sure this is what voters want from their elected officials www.nytimes.com/2025/02/22/u...

Plus: The FBI pins that ByBit theft on North Korea, a malicious app download breaches Disney, spyware targets a priest close to the pope, and more.

open.substack.com/pub/noahpini... It’s been evident for some time to anyone paying attention that Trump is a gangster turning the US into a gangster state. The ambush in the White House on Friday morning should make even conservatives sit up and take notice Noah Smith argues

I’m sorry to say it but: The emporer is actually naked.

Here I react to the shameful encounter between American leaders and media and the Ukrainian president. No doubt there were more, but I saw five failures on our side: of hospitality, decency, democracy, strategy, and independence. Please watch and share. snyder.substack.com/p/five-failu...

NEW: A searing editorial in the The Kyiv Independent. “It’s time to say it plainly. America’s leadership has switched sides in the war. The American people have not, and they should speak up. “A president just disrespected America in the Oval Office. It wasn’t Zelensky.” @kyivindependent.com

"History will remember this day— when an American President and Vice President abandoned all we stand for."

NEW: The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is backing away, one-by-one, from the volley of lawsuits and investigations it brought against cryptocurrency businesses under the Joe Biden administration.

That press conference was the most disgraceful act of betrayal I’ve ever seen.

You can’t be serious about wanting to end the war and simultaneously treating Zelensky like that.

I don’t think everybody understands that, but this meeting made Zelenskyy the coolest leader alive right now. Again. Much GREATER than Trump. Everybody LOVES Zelenskyy now. He stood up to bullies. Big L for Trump.

I logged onto LinkedIn today expecting to see my feed filled with outrage from the lawyer connections I have – most of whom are former federal government attorneys who now work outside the federal government in private practice or in the private sector. Per a Tuesday Executive Order, /1

The chap standing next to me in the photo has been pursuing me with cameras for the past five years. I will finally be able to shake him off next Monday night on #Imagine on #BBC1 . ( Followed by a screening of #TheDeathOfStalin)

Over half of Trump’s appointees to the Justice Department to receive hearings have been his personal lawyers. Bondi, Blanche, Sauer, Dhillon. He’s turning the DOJ into Trump LLP.

Grok nailed it.

Sanctions work: The Russian government has extended the ban on gasoline exports from March 1 to August 31, except for direct fuel producers, to "stabilise the domestic fuel market, support the refining industry, and curb illicit exports".

The Russian agent Călin Georgescu is now being widely broadcast on Russian channels; in particular, a segment of his interview appeared on Solovyov's show. Somehow, scumbags like Georgescu always end up on Russia's side.

Budanov stated that Russia’s aggression against Ukraine costs nearly a billion dollars daily, with 41% of its budget allocated to defense. However, Russia can balance its budget thanks to its natural resources like oil, gas, metals, and gemstones. t.me/c/1377735387...

A warrior from the "Rubizh" brigade single-handedly captured six occupiers on one of the fronts. First, he forced the Russians out of their dugout, then disarmed and took them prisoner. youtu.be/6UwqgIRh6qk?...

A WIRED investigation reveals that criminals who make billions from scam compounds in Myanmar—where tens of thousands of people are enslaved—are using Starlink to get online.

By all means, we don't want open government anymore. Authoritarianism thrives on opacity.

They’re going after the judges

And lo, right on cue, Jeff Bezos shows the world where he stands

Russian pilot "Fighterbomber" says that the effectiveness of Russian guide bombs fell off a cliff recently due to widespread EW interference on both sides, and that Ukrainian countermeasures have now rendered satellite-guided corrections useless.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced that Canada will soon provide Ukraine with 25 more LAV III infantry fighting vehicles and four F-16 flight simulators. Additionally, the first installment of a $5 billion aid package, funded by frozen Russian assets, will be delivered to Ukraine.

Putin planned to take Kyiv in three days, but he couldn't take Kyiv in three years. The only way Putin wins now—the only way he finally succeeds in destroying Ukraine’s sovereignty—is by persuading Ukraine’s allies to abandon Ukraine. www.theatlantic.com/internationa...

Dear Europe, Trump completely melts under pushback. So push back.

"Most Americans don’t want to believe that their government is taking life­saving medicine away from sick people in Africa, or betraying Afghans who sacrificed for this country" But it's happening www.theatlantic.com/magazine/arc...

To the @GOP senators and Congressmen who claim to support Ukraine, you do have some power… if you’re unwilling to exercise it then don’t pretend to care about your country more than your political career:

"US companies legally collecting digital advertising data are also providing the world a cheap and reliable way to track the movements of American military and intelligence personnel overseas, from their homes and their children’s schools to hardened aircraft shelters"
