Here I react to the shameful behavior of American leaders and media toward 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...

Donald Trump is elected U.S. president after criticizing a war abroad and calling for its end. He negotiates a deal with an adversary of the United States under…

I’m in Munich and people keep asking me to decode Vance’s speech. OK: In Vance English “free speech” means “Let Musk run your elections” and “democracy” means “let Russia run your elections.” Now move on. 2025 is about what Europeans do, not what Americans say.

This tells you who their constituents are. Not American voters. Not Americans at all. www.nbcnews.com/politics/nat...

On Tulsi Gabbard, whose one lifelong loyalty is to an offshoot of the Hare Krishna movement From Elaine Godfrey, @theatlantic.com www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

"In another sense, the movement has never been about policies or changes to the law; it’s always been about the larger goal of dismantling the institutions of secular government to clear the way for the Kingdom. It is about God’s total victory." www.theatlantic.com/magazine/arc...

"Western experts filling the op-ed pages with ideas for securing a post-settlement Ukraine have been negotiating with themselves. Putin has never agreed to the establishment of a demilitarized zone, foreign troops on Ukrainian soil, or a continuing Ukrainian military relationship with the West"

I wrote much of what I think about this election before it happened, so I am going to put it all together here. My book, Autocracy Inc, described the network of autocrats who seek to undermine democracy, inside their countries and ours www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/725302...

Social media has dissolved the mortar of our society and made America stupid, @JonHaidt argues. It’s not just a phase:

Trump is just there to provide moral cover for Putin by musing about invading neighbors.

Not unusual for a press spokesman to repeat the government line.

Christmas Eve in Ukraine💔 These photos were taken in the same location within an hour. This has been our reality for the last 3 years — devastating sorrow, combined with attempts to own it and not lose our minds.

At the risk of sounding melodramatic, these newspapers were some of the high points of our civilization. I have learned so much from The Observer.

"In this episode of Radio Atlantic, we make the case for reading books, one memory at a time." Hanna Rosin speaks with Rose Horowitch and other Atlantic writers about the books they read in high school that stuck with them.

We are asking Ukrainians to defeat the armies of Putin and Kim Jong Un. In their efforts to do so, Ukrainians helped bring down Assad. Ukrainian resistance is one of the most stunning military achievements in modern history.

The attempt to ignite a conflict in the Middle East and draw Israel into it and distract the West from Ukraine turned out to be a shot in the foot for Putin. After several crushing blows to Hezbollah, Israel has greatly weakened the group, and Bashar Assad relied on it, 1/8

There’s a live risk that the global order is breaking. And while it wouldn’t happen all at once, if it breaks it will not bounce back.

A massive, coordinated expensive Tik-Tok promotion campaign helped a pro- Russian candidate in Romanian presidential elections. He declared he spent no money on the campaign... www.bbc.com/news/article...

Lex Fridman if it was November 1941: “I hope to interview both Churchill and Hitler, likely in January. For this, I will travel to both London and Berlin. My hope is to do my small part to understand their perspectives & to find the path to peace.”

Wealth doesn’t lead to expertise. We know that this is true, but our culture inclines us to half forget it - and give huge testimonial credibility to wealthy people who haven’t got a clue about the world or themselves.

Georgia's Russian-backed government is now brutally arresting opposition members all over Tbilisi. 1930's Russia will be the model for whats about to happen in Georgia if they don't get these Russians out now.

This is as if, eight years from now, Ukrainians reconquered Donetsk

"Biden has promised the Ukrainians that he will stand by them ‘for as long as it takes’—but he has nevertheless made sure that the war has gone on much longer than it had to," Phillips Payson O’Brien writes.

Russian-backed government thugs attacking the good people of Georgia tonight in Tbilisi after rigging their election a few weeks ago. Standard Russian activities, everywhere we allow them to go.

Today, we thank all of our supporters. Together, we have raised $71,450,000+ in the last 3 months alone 💙💛 Thank you to everyone who stands with Ukraine and UNITED24. You're a crucial part of our common fight. Every $ you donate is more than aid; it's a step towards our common future 1/2

Russian-backed government thugs beating protesters in Tbilisi tonight. The good people of Georgia are going to oust these Russians once and for all.
