Both the US's Russian 'peace proposal' and the EU's response painfully expose the West's structural inferiority and its willingness to accept a world without any guardian of order. Pardoning the fascist Russian society and its leadership for waging war will usher in a new era of darkness for us all

Russia is forcefully conscripting Ukrainian men in the occupied territories. That amounts to a war crime per the fourth Geneva Convention article 51.
Some sources say that already 10% of those killed on the Russian side are Ukrainians.

The Witkoff-Vance scheme to screw Ukraine is an abomination with regard to the military situation - and especially the pending economic collapse of Russia.
"Militarily, there is no justification for demanding such sweeping concessions from Ukraine compared to Russia": several thoughts from Danish military expert Anders Puck Nielsen regarding the 28-point plan.
The proposed "peace plan" looks like a genuinely harsh ultimatum.

Very smart move by Europe👇
We all know this “plan” comes from Russia.
But that will not fly in congress or in the American population.
Trump will be forced to distance himself from this.

My favourite moments of this iteration of the ”US-Russia peace plan” were:
1. Dmitriev leaking it
2. The points admitting that Russia does kidnap Ukrainian children
3. The points including that Ukraine shouldn’t hit Moscow or St Petersburg ”without a cause”

Het probleem Duk en het probleem Telegraaf
Wierd Duk radicaliseert niet alleen per dag, in zijn geschriften klinken steeds meer de geluiden van het fascisme door.
Ik formuleer het misschien nog te voorzichtig.
Duk valt de democratie aan , de schragende fondamenten van de rechtsstaat, de vrije wetenschap.
En De Telegraaf faciliteert dat.

En De Telegraaf faciliteert dat.
‘De balans is zoek’, schrijft Wierd Duk, maar dat geldt vooral voor zijn absurde verdachtmakingen

Minister Karremans twijfelde al na één dag of ingreep bij Nexperia zin had
De ingreep bij Nexperia leidde tot een politieke rel met China en tekorten bij de auto-industrie, waar Nexperia-chips onmisbaar zijn.
