Taken together with other events of this past year, the message acceptance of this deal is that
1) Illegally invading is a viable way to achieve strategic goals, with very few lasting consequences
2) The only sure guarantee of security is having nuclear weapons

This excellent WSJ annotation of the Molotov/Ribbentrop … sorry, Witkoff/Dmitriev … “peace deal” for Ukraine shows how ridiculously vague and utterly unworkable this thing is

“Orthodoxy” is *A* way to say “the consensus backed by studies of every scientist in the relevant fields.” Do better, @nytimes.com
Breaking News: Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said he personally instructed the CDC to abandon its position that vaccines do not cause autism. The move underscores his determination to challenge scientific orthodoxy — in this case, that vaccines save lives — and bend the health department to his will.
RFK Jr. Says He Instructed CDC to Change Vaccines and Autism Language on Website
In an interview, Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. cited gaps in vaccine safety research. His critics say he is ignoring a larger point: Vaccines save lives.

This is obscene.
Two panels commemorating the contribution of Black American soldiers towards the liberation of the Netherlands in World War Two have been quietly removed from a cemetery in Limburg. It follows a complaint by right-wing think tank The Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission.

Videos of a crying Ukrainian "conscript" have flooded European social media networks, particularly in Germany and Hungary, this week. The clip, however, appears to be created with help from Sora, OpenAI's new tool.

Putin understands that crossing the nuclear threshold would shatter what remains of his leverage, unite the West even further, and invite catastrophic consequences.
His bluster is a symptom of weakness, not strength. The world should treat it accordingly: with vigilance, but without fear.
