Russia's war on Ukraine has yet to end because Russia keeps waging it. It is shocking, though regrettably unsurprising, that in the fifth summer since the 2022 escalation by the aggressor, and 12 yea...

This is Russia’s crime — but it is partly our responsibility, in the United States. We are doing much less than we should, on the rationale that letting Russians kill Ukrainians will end the war. It won’t. That is wrong as strategy, and as ethics.

putin can end his war tomorrow No parliament can stop him. No independent press to persuade. No election to win He could declare victory on Tuesday and stage the parade on Wednesday. 🇷🇺's appetite for war is the only obstacle to peace, there's nothing else nypost.com/2026/07/11/o...
Ukraine 🇺🇦 is holding a mirror to 🇺🇸’s founding story: A nation refusing imperial rule. A people choosing liberty over submission. A smaller republic fighting a distant metropole. Ukrainians recognize the resemblance. Do Americans?

Yet the crisis of US shipbuilding is so bad that the US Navy is ordering ships from Korean or Italian firms and US logistics depend on bases among allies Colby is typical for an elite so marinated in myths of its power that it forgot to sustain real structures it needs to survive
OTD in 1940, Soviet Forces, who were in Baltic countries as a result of absolutely nothing to do with our treaty with Nazis, held ‘elections’ whose results were released day before vote. The Baltic countries then ‘voluntarily’ joined USSR ‘on a contractual basis’
Putin doesn’t need an off-ramp. He needs a dead end. That’s the central argument of my latest NY Post column. Russia has a long history of escalating when given exits and backing down only when the costs become unbearable. nypost.com/2026/07/11/o...
For peace in Ukraine, don’t give Putin an off-ramp — force him into a dead end
If you give Putin a Crimea, he’ll try to take a whole country.

Last night’s deliberate Russian attacks on civilians in kyiv were in some ways a murderous scream of frustration. The Russians seem to have no strategic answer to the growing Ukrainian strike campaign, so can only kill innocents in retaliation. A sign of growing failure.
Russia spends $5 billion a year on propaganda to manufacture support for its invasions through vatniks and narratives grotesquely disconnected from reality such as their alleged “family values” of terror, abuse and destruction, pushed by the worst scum on earth. 20/21 @stratcomcentre.bsky.social
🇮🇹🇪🇺 Meloni on EU: It is clear that being a major commercial or regulatory platform is no longer enough. We need strategic autonomy, industrial capacity, technological sovereignty and financial power. Europe must be ready to use its geopolitical and geoeconomic strength.

Elon Musk is the king of "fake it till you make it," raising billions by selling impossible dreams. He now claims the economy will grow tenfold in a decade, but his track record of missing major deadlines for Tesla robotaxis and SpaceX Mars missions proves otherwise
As early as 1851, the French historian Jules Michelet said, "To sum up, Russia is falsehood. It is a falsehood in the commune, a sham commune. It is falsehood in the landowner, the priest, and the tsar."

OTD 1940 USSR invaded Estonia & Latvia to prevent them "forming an anti-Soviet alliance". This had absolutely nothing to do with a secret clause in our first treaty with Nazis. Imagine us today invading smaller neighbours for completely made up reasons…
🤯 The "mastermind" behind the arson attacks on UK PM Starmer’s car and linked properties was Evgeny Lyukshin, a 23-year-old Russian diplomat, per BBC and The FT. The son of a top Russian Foreign Ministry official, he orchestrated the sabotage via a Telegram persona.
Russia claims to be defending Orthodoxy. In reality, it is destroying Christianity’s most sacred sites. During its overnight missile and drone attack on Kyiv, Russia deliberately targeted the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra twice.
