Last week the Guardian published an open letter from some of the UK’s foremost Russia-excusers, attacking Fiona Hill and accusing the defence review she copiloted of “warmongering“ for recommending preparations to defend against Russia. Today, a reply. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

There is only one warmonger on the European stage: Vladimir Putin | Letter

Letter: Experts on Russia, Ukraine and international security respond to a letter that criticised Fiona Hill for her assessment of the Russian threat to Britain

Mon passage à 2460 (RDI, Radio-Canada) hier soir, au lendemain de cette attaque invraisemblable des services de sécurité ukrainiens sur la flotte de bombardiers russes. ici.radio-canada.ca/rdi/24-60/si...

Où en sont les négociations après l'attaque surprise de l'Ukraine en sol russe? | 24•60

Au lendemain d’une attaque de drones de grande ampleur de l'Ukraine contre les bases aériennes russes, les deux pays ont convenu d’un échange de prisonniers lors de nouveaux pourparlers en Turquie. V...

Les Ukrainiens font la guerre en mettant des canons français sur des barges flottantes en pleine mer, en tuant des haut-gradés russe en plein Moscou avec des trottinettes piégés et en détruisant 34% de la flotte de bombardiers stratégiques russes avec des drones planqués dans le toit de camions.

we shouldn't be altering our behaviour as democratic citizens. I expect freedom of speech and the rule of law and won't adjust to creeping US autocratization by self-censoring. We should be exposing and confronting autocratization in whichever form we encounter it.

This is bonkers, of course, but the point on threat to Europe does deserve clarification. Every time I present my book on Russia's centuries-long obsession with controlling Ukraine, there would be someone in the audience, often a Balt or a Pole, who would ask: So it is just about Ukraine only, then?

Witkoff on Ukraine: "There's a view within the country of Russia that these are Russian territories, that there are referendums within these territories that justify these actions ... I just don't see that [Putin] wants to take all of Europe ... I take him as his word."

Some thoughts from Brussels. Europe is awoken and believes America is all but gone. As such huge efforts on defense funding from EU, Germany, and others. This is real. BUT... Europe is still not reckoning yet with its major structural security problem: No one does European defense. 1/

The US is starting to resemble the Global South where majorities recognize Pu's russia as the aggressor, hate Putin, and support Ukraine but their governments play geopolitical games that make them minimize or ignore Russia's illegal war. Don't be fooled, the world knows Russia is the aggressor.

The question of sending European troops to Ukraine is the only one that really matters today. It is the only guarantee that can credibly prevent a new 🇷🇺 aggression in the future and firmly anchor 🇺🇦 to 🇪🇺.

Timothy Snyder@timothysnyder.bsky.social · last yr.

I’m in Munich and people keep asking me to decode Vance’s speech. OK: In Vance English “free speech” means “Let Musk run your elections” and “democracy” means “let Russia run your elections.” Now move on. 2025 is about what Europeans do, not what Americans say.

Les bons réflexes face à l’actualité de la guerre russe contre l’Ukraine. J’enfonce sans doute des portes ouvertes, mais depuis 2022, les commentaires sur la guerre ont dérivé tant de fois qu’il vaut mieux répéter les évidences. 1/8

1. Ne pas enlever à l’Ukraine sa subjectivité. En parler comme d’un objet de négociations, ce n’est pas adopter une lecture réaliste: c’est adhérer à la vision russe d’une Ukraine qui ne compte pas parce qu’elle n’existe pas. Qui n'est qu'un corps géographique qui peut être démembré. 2/8

While Trump threatens to invade Canada and his MAGA movement bullies and harasses Canadians and other US allies, Canadians are busy saving USians from burning alive. Canadian air crews in Los Angeles risked their lives to save US civilians. #palisadesfire

When fascism became a dominant political force across much of the West in the 1930s, it was a populist movement but also popular, enjoying support from all major sectors of society. The (first of many) horror(s) for those who opposed it was watching their friends and neighbors succumb to its poison.
