At the National Liberal Club with the great Nick Hopkinson and his newly-curated book telling the history of Britain’s Wilton Park, one of those special places where global players with polar opposite views can drill down on complexities without being cancelled and yelled at.

With the brilliant @Roger_Moorhouse@HatchardsPiccadilly for the launch of@HarperCollinsUKWolfpack: Inside Hitler's U-Boat War. The voices of the German U-Boatmen; the threat that Winston Churchill admitted really frightened him in the battle for the Atlantic. @historyrage.bsky.social

The Trump-Putin summit brings awareness of the U.S.-Russian border. In these two photos by Poulomi Basu, a Little Diomede islander checks a military watchtower on Russia’s Big Diomede Island. The border, and the international dateline, runs between the islands which are only 2.4 miles apart.

A rare photo by JoAnn Kaningok of Russian helicopter over Big Diomede island on U.S. border. Civilians were moved off in 1948. It’s now a Russian outpost with a helicopter base. JoAnn took the shot from her civilian American island of Little Diomede less than three miles away.

The Trump-Putin summit shines a spotlight on the U.S.-Russian border where the distance between two nuclear powers is 2.4 miles -- not 51 miles as widely reported. Poulomi Basu's photo shows Russia Big Diomede island on left and U.S. Little Diomede civilian village on right.
