/1. Russians proudly hung portraits of dead Hezbollah leader Nasrallah and other Hezbollah members on a T-14 Armata tank. Most likely somewhere on military training grounds in Russia.

A shame and a historic low point in US diplomatic history: voting AGAINST a resolution condemning 🇷🇺 invasion of 🇺🇦, voting AGAINST all US Allies (but Hungary) and the UN majority; voting WITH Russia, DPRK, Sudan, Nicaragua, Belarus and a handful of African junta while China and Iran abstained…

Ukraine did not misuse or lose half of the aid the United States has provided. Ukraine repeatedly invited Putin to negotiate in early 2022. isw.pub/UkraineFacts...

Russian forces currently occupy around 20 percent of Ukraine. At the current rate of advance, it would take Russian forces over 83 years to capture the remaining 80 percent of Ukraine, assuming that they can sustain massive personnel losses indefinitely. isw.pub/UkraineFacts...

Trump makes war not peace. Rewarding territorial aggrandizement will promote, foster and encourage wider war, not only in Europe. It is the specific duty and Constitutional obligation of all patriots and professionals to abandon and oppose Trump in the supreme national interest.

Western reporting suggests that the United States intends to ease sanctions on Belarus. Russia uses Belarus as a staging ground for its military against Ukraine and NATO and as a critical tool in its sanctions evasion schemes. (1/3) isw.pub/UkrWar021625

It’s called terror bombing and nobody won a war doing it. Hiroshima and Nagasaki were horrific retaliation to demonstrate capability nobody but the physicists understood to forestall a ground invasion and followed fire bombing that didn’t break Japan. Terror bombing is a 20th Century grotesquerie.

This is the final death knell for Congress. If it won’t fight for its explicit power in Article I, Section 9, Clause 7 of the Constitution of the United States then it will be not merely the broken branch, it will be part of the dead tree of our republic.

The Corn Laws debates changed the face of the Tory Party in Britain forever. There is the same potential here. I cannot believe that we are going back to 19th Century economics; however, nobody seems conscious of history. Nobody.

Despite significant military setbacks and mounting economic challenges, Putin has not changed his demands for negotiations with Ukraine. Putin is not interested only in territory. He is interested in the destruction of Ukraine as a sovereign state. Watch here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=hy6i...

Hi. This was happening at the Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant for decades and some awfully mean little staffer used to ask why the hell we weren’t sanctioning it to death and he was actually told that Russia was a responsible supplier. That’s a loaded term, by which we should now mean loaded gun.

Bloomberg: “Oil flows through Russia’s Baltic Sea port of Ust-Luga appeared to pause, backing up Ukrainian claims of a successful drone strike on a pumping station.” The flow of oil at the port has dropped to zero. The last tanker left Ust-Luga on the morning of January 29.

Sensuret III (Hellenised Sesostris) was a XII Dynasty pharaoh who ruled Egypt with repression in the Middle Kingdom. His likenesses all display a frown & large ears to hear plots against him. He used magical curses & spawned the Greek myth of Σέσωστρις. Trump’s official portrait recalls him to me.
