He's absolutely right. Better to be notorious for failing in a corrupt and dying administration than be notorious as a Trump flunky and liar.

Zelenskyy simply and accurately explains why giving up the Donbas won’t end the war: "Putin says he wants the Donbas, but why, at the start of the full-scale invasion, was he trying to occupy Kyiv? Is that the east of our country? Is that the Donbas? No, that’s the capital.

‘Russia is not the enemy‘ That's the message of a pro-Kremlin campaign targeting European audiences. Meanwhile, Russian state TV openly threatens Europe, while Moscow's hybrid operations target its infrastructure, institutions and security.

I was there. When Peter Gelb stepped out in front of the curtain, my heart sank. I thought he was going to announce that one of the leads was ill and wouldn't be singing.
But no
He spoke in support of Ukraine in the wake of Trump's diesel deal with Putin, the disruptions in Starkink service and intelligence sharing, and the most recent Russian attacks that had killed so many Ukrainians the night before.
I have never been prouder of my favorite opera company.

The world is up in arms about the US buying Russian diesel. Even republicans are criticising Trump for his slavish pro Russian actions, which stand to financially benefit his buddies. A tasteless statue is nothing compared to throwing an ally under the bus.

There is an implicit moral obligation on the US to support Ukraine against Russian bombardment. I suspect you can see that for yourself.

Only France has nukes fully independent of the US, and a very small arsenal compared to Russia. I agree that the statue is insulting and ill judged.

Europe is reducing its reliance on Russian oil. There has been a downward trend over the last few years, with the aim to eliminate its dependence. The US has now decided to buy Russian oil, despite sanctioning other countries who buy it. So one goes down and the other goes up.

And just a reminder that Europe and other countries have backed the US in its various stupid wars. Now, when Europe asks for help, Trump buys diesel from Russia and encourages it to bomb Ukraine. And the US signed a treaty to protect Ukraine after it gave up its nuclear weapons.

No one says it is the US's entire responsibility. But Trump has said the US will no longer protect Europe, as it has since WW2. The loss of the threat of US firepower, not to mention nuclear weapons, has greatly weakened Europe and strengthened Russia. Europe will catch up, but is vulnerable now.

Pine Gap is likely important in collecting intelligence on Russian missile launches, which is exactly the sort of information Ukraine needs. My issue is with the US withholding information that could save Ukrainian lives.

All of the 'deals' the US has cravenly made with Russia will fail. Russia seeks to become a superpower, at the expense of the west, including the US. If Ukraine crumbles, Russia will have its technology, resources and expertise. Once Russia doesn't need Trump any more, he will be weak and exposed.

It appears that US negotiators Witkoff and Kushner and likely the Trump family stand to benefit from the impending sale of Russian oil giant Lukoil. When we understand that, Trump's insistence that Ukraine stop bombing Russian oil refineries makes sense. And Musk is helping, for political gain.

Thanks. I read the US had been calling around European countries to try to get Ukraine to stop attacking Russian refineries. Zelensky is talking about 'partners' not sharing warnings. I wonder how deeply Europe is involved with this. Truly shocking.

Peggy, are you saying that intel about Russia's missile launches is mediated by Pine Gap and is not being shared by the US with Ukraine? Or is this a Five Eyes thing?

Is this launch info freely available to partners in Europe as well as the US? Are European countries withholding information from Ukraine because the US has told them to?

Trump gives money to Russia. Jared takes his share. Putin takes his share. Some of the money goes to kill Ukrainians. The rest is funnelled to Iran, to help it in its war against the US.

Trump: "Putin has no respect for this person." Clinton: "That's because he'd rather have a puppet as president of the United States. You're willing to spout the Putin line, sign up for his wish list, break up NATO, do whatever he wants to do." October 19, 2016. She was right.
