"In less than a year, President Donald Trump has drained many of the most important sources of American power. He is unwinding the country’s alliances, degrading its principles, walling off its economy, and subverting international institutions that serve its interests."
Trump Is Demolishing Four Pillars of American Power
By rejecting the lessons of the previous century, the president has undermined America’s advantage over China and Russia.

PART 1/2 — Germany's Minister of Defence Pistorius gave a convincing speech today (imo) on the possibility of peace in #Ukraine, in which he openly addressed Putin's “foul play”, the many flaws in the 28-point plan and other issues. As always, I have translated most of his speech for you.

Russia destroys the homes of Ukrainians every single day. Most of these losses remain unseen, but for each family, they are life-shattering.

These are some of the homes destroyed in Kharkiv Oblast in the last 24 hours.
Six civilians were injured.
