Remember this. The Nazis were defeated by geologists and car mechanics and school teachers and milkmen. Ordinary people from all over the world who risked their own lives to put the fascists in the ground where they belong.
the real glory of world war two was that it involved a warrior cult being ground down and beaten to a pulp by people who would rather have been doing something else.

"Parler de la perspective d’une « paix juste et durable » n’est rien d’autre que prononcer des mots creux et légers s’il n’y a pas d’abord un plan de victoire pour l’Ukraine."

To talk about the prospect of a "just and lasting peace" is nothing but uttering empty and light words if there is no victory plan for Ukraine first.

This is now the most embarrassing thing JD has done on a couch
ZELENSKYY: Putin broke the ceasefire. What kind of diplomacy, JD, are you speaking about?
VANCE: I think it's disrespectful to come into the Oval Office and try to litigate this in front of the American media

On The Power Vertical Podcast this week, I spoke to the always insightful Russian opposition figure Vladimir Milov to break down Russia’s reaction to the election of Donald Trump and where this all might go next. www.powervertical.org/2024/11/15/m...
MOSCOW’S NEXT MOVE
Following Donald Trump’s election eight years ago, the reaction in Moscow was jubilant. They even popped open champagne bottles in the State Duma.
