A European capital city, in a country that's an ally of NATO, spent this morning retrieving bodies, saving the wounded, grieving, & despairing at the US in particular for giving Russia the green light to murder when it wishes. Day 1624. Is the fight for good vs evil abandoned?

Im Nov ’23 suchte ich nach Barhockern, die zu meinem Klapptisch passten, den ich für meine Küche angefertigt hatte. Ich fand sie auf Etsy im ukrainischen Shop WoodStoolStudio: www.etsy.com/shop/WoodSto... Gestern besuchte ich das Besitzerpaar und ihr kleines Team in ihrer Werksatt in Cherkasy.
Booker: They are thinking about setting themselves up to build epic empires of wealth. And that’s why Trump is pardoning people who then go into business with him. That’s why Trump is trying to undermine the rule of law—to make sure he leaves office with more wealth than was ever conceivable…
In 1776, Adam Smith risked his reputation to tell the world that his friend David Hume had died cheerful, kind, and unafraid — without religion. That is friendship. I’ve written about it (and about making friends in middle age) for the #InternationalDayofFriendship.

BROWDER: Ukrainians were begging for a while to be part of NATO. I think in a few years’ time Europeans, in a new NATO without United States, are going to be begging Ukraine to be part of it, because Ukraine has now become most preeminent fighting force in our part of the world.

A forecast: tomorrow will be an average day for the Moscow Stock Exchange – worse than today but better than Monday. #MOEX
The Moscow Stock Exchange Index is looking very bearish – as it should. Will soon be below 2000 – for the first time since 2022.
📽️My take from Kharkiv: it is extremely telling that people gathered by the 1000s across the country, including here, 26 km from Russia, to protest a sudden decision by Zelensky to remove Fedorov. Even more telling: the president doesn't seem to care much, so far.👇 www.france24.com/en/protests-...

Russia should build an anti-fascist protective wall around the entire country…
