I have my own website now!

People tell me to do my own research, so I did.
This is what I learned from Ukrainian history:

We could've had it all with a second Biden term, but it's ok. Gavin Newsom's GENERATIONAL RUN is just a few years away (:

He can't agree that Trump lied, even if it's obvious, because admitting Trump did anything wrong/bad is strictly off limits. So, he's not a liar, he's a strategic negotiator. 😎

Istanbul. Alaska. Geneva. Results? Nothing.
Why? Because:
Russia doesn’t want peace.
Team Trump wants business deals.
Europe refuses to shape events in Europe.
Berlin will be no different.

Putin sits in Moscow claiming that his armies have taken a town that the Ukrainian president is personally visiting. There are cowardly tyrants and there are courageous elected leaders and it is good to know the difference.
Putin said Russia had taken Kupiansk weeks ago.
Today, Zelenskyy visited Ukrainian troops there.

When asked about the Ukraine peace deal, Trump again tried to drive a wedge between Zelenskyy and the Ukrainian people by falsely claiming the peace deal as it stands is loved by the Ukrainian people, but Zelenskyy had not read it.
How could the Ukrainians love a peace deal, they do not know yet?

Unprincipled and weak. The murder of journalists is perhaps the single most direct violation of the right to freedom of speech. (1/2)
Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

Orbán keeps referring to the poet and 1848 revolutionary, Sándor Petőfi, when giving speeches on not aiding Ukraine.
Weird.
During the 1848 revolution Petöfi was captured by the invading Russians, who deported him & several thousand Hungarians to prison colonies in Siberia, where they disappeared.

I think Europe is still holding on to a belief that "everything will be fine" and is letting its actions be guided by that.
"Everything will be fine, the Russians will bleed out, and then collapse"
When the approach we should be taking is to be proactive and aggressive.

Why did you ever think that things were ever gonna be good, buddy? You saw the way it was, you saw the trajectory, you should’ve figured it out by now.

A leader of the far-right Alternative for Germany party said Russian President Vladimir Putin’s Russia doesn’t pose a threat to his country — but that Poland potentially does.
AfD leader says Putin poses no threat to Germany, warning instead of Poland
The comments come as mainstream German politicians increasingly portray the far-right party as a fifth column promoting the Kremlin’s interests.

It's long overdue that the term "Eurasianism" is reclaimed by those who deserve the term. "Eurasian Studies" is a field in which you study the histories, politics, cultures, and languages of the peoples of Central Asia. This is a great book to start that journey.
