Though one should always be wary, the last few days have actually been better for Ukraine. Moves against corruption, possible changes mooted in Ukrainian high command, and signs that in Europe, ever so slightly, the gloves are coming off.

What annoys me about all the talk of the icc is that these are americans committing crimes under the american legal system, so we need to charge them under the american legal system at the earliest chance. We shouldnt offload the responsibilities of trying these criminals to the rest of the world
Pipe dreams don't change things. I've said point-blank that I think what happened in the boat strikes is a war crime, but I don't think "let's hand over US officers to foreign courts" is a winning Dem message, even if it makes people on Bluesky feel brave and virtuous and good about themselves.
Part of the reason to speak out, even if it’s a pipe dream, is that Americans generally aren’t keen on letting a pundit class euphemize international accountability for war crimes as some kind of nebulous international control of U.S. military personnel generally.

Witkoff Advised Russia on How to Pitch Ukraine Plan to Trump
US presidential envoy Steve Witkoff, fresh from the triumph of the Gaza peace deal, held a phone call last month with a senior Kremlin official to suggest they work together on a similar plan for Ukraine — and that Vladimir Putin should raise it with Donald Trump.

NEW: AI “recipe slop” is overrunning search and social. Food creators say Google’s AI Overviews and glossy fake food pics are drowning out real, tested recipes — collapsing traffic and setting home cooks up for disaster, especially this Thanksgiving.
