Putin's peace plan (Nov 2025) promoted by Trump is ruinous for Ukraine, dangerous for Europe and destabilizing for the international order. It ups the ante for nuclear proliferation and nuclear war. It must be refuted.

Vladimir Putin has no plan for winning in Ukraine
Fighting in Ukraine will grind on in 2026. Vladimir Putin will continue to throw away Russian lives pointlessly, but sooner or later a reckoning is coming

Take a look at the Canadian government's travel advisory for Russia. Contrary to Tucker Carlson's opinion, does this sound like a country you would want to visit, let alone emigrate?

A UBC professor says the time is now to wake up, smell the coffee and be serious about the way B.C. manages its forests because it affects our water.

Now that Trump has cut off critical air defence aid used to save civilian lives, #Ukraine is free to renew targeting Russia's oil refineries. Go for it in a big way: Europe is weak; Starmer, Macron & Merz are cowards; and Trump is a Russian ally.

The US, UK & EU handling of #Ukraine is absolutely deplorable. Macron, Starmer & Merz are worse than Trump. At least Trump (like Putin) says what he is going to do, and mostly does it; whereas Macron, Starmer & Merz provide endless statements & never follow thru with needed action. Immoral cowards.

One aspect of global affairs that I find to be particularly depressing is that I am daily reminded that, in geopolitics as in school, the worst bullies are flabby and weak.

‘Active Management’ Harms Forests — And It’s About to Get a Whole Lot Worse • The Revelator
Forest management approaches promoted as “resilience,” “restoration,” “fuel reduction,” and “forest health” often degrade natural systems and reduce carbon stocks.
