To your broader point about the treaty's lessons for Ukraine's situation, I think the failure of Europe/US to actually guarantee Ukraine's sovereignty and security bears much of the blame. Ukrainians knew what would happen eventually. They're lucky to have held off Russia as long as they have.

A lesson you can take from the replies to a version of this post on Twitter is that there seem to be many on the British and Canadian Far Right who would happily sell out their own countries to an expansionist American government as long as it is "anti-woke"
At the heart of Canadian national memory is the awareness that Canadians twice came to the UK's aid in world wars years before the Americans showed up.
It will not be forgottem if the Brits now hide in a corner and say nothing when Canada faces existential threats.

Would be nice to see some UK politicians speaking up in support of Canada, which is blameless in this and with which Britain has far closer ties than it does with the US.

a post that is wildly insulting to everyone, honestly. the iranian people, who have been doing this every few years for decades now. the IRGC, who did all that theft, robbery, and murder, only for it to get hand-waved as "CIA meddling." the CIA, who are implicitly being accused of poor tradecraft

Managing the NYC bureaucracy will be a real challenge. But Mamdani is treating implementation as a front-and-center problem rather than an afterthought, demanding the public sector be on par with other metrics of NYC excellence.

Rent is borderline crippling. It's genuinely a little depressing, and certainly distressing
A 39% increase in the last five years. Insane
Meanwhile, non NIMBY places building new supply like Austin have seen rents *decline* 20% in the last three years

My BS detector is extremely fine tuned. Navalny was not a savior Russia needed. He was the Grand Russia believer to the core, a more polished version of Pootin, without FSB, corruption & mafia state.
He wasn’t Nemtsov or Kasparov, both which were/are complete opposite of Grand RuZZia delusions.

It's becoming positively alarming to see how many nominally left-of-center commentators in the labor sphere have embraced the idea that the *white* working class specifically constitutes the sole legitimate American volk which must be protected.
there is a certain condescension in the idea that “racism should be publicly unacceptable and come with consequences” is an attack on the “working class.”

Marxism's signal failure to incorporate anything besides class into its analysis will and should forever marginalize it as a useful political philosophy
i want to be clear about this: worker’s rights also includes the right to be free from racist or sexist or gendered abuse at your job.

i am positing a guess right now: as the economic consequences start to bite, people will pretend they're down to immigration being "too high" anyway, and keir starmer won't challenge that at all
New post just out:
"The Overshoot"
Net migration is collapsing, and will fall further over the coming years. We could even have net emigration.
What does that mean for the country and the political narrative as we head towards the next election?

2/ Other Key Takeaways:
The Kremlin explicitly rejected US and European offers to provide Ukraine with “NATO-like” security guarantees as part of a peace deal and continued to signal its unwillingness to compromise on Russia’s territorial claims to Ukraine’s sovereign territory.
