If negotiations focused on victory over the aggressor grounded in international law, rather than “peace with Russia,” how many would participate openly, before the media?
For how long will we maintain the fiction that “peace” and Russia can coexist in a single document?

If the Epstein files have proven anything, it’s that the justice system isn’t broken; it’s working exactly as it was built to do: to shield the rich and powerful from accountability while victims are buried, ignored, or silenced.
