Well, with such insightful people at the helm what can possibly go wrong❓️ (and it's only been 3 years and 10 months).
For analysis of how it DID go wrong:

Crude dudes a bit too trigger-happy?

Most of us despise this woman so much that your first, 'natural' reaction at this news is glee. Then you realise...

Shocking indeed. What the hell is happening in the US?

No shit, Sherlock!
Nothing gets past Dobald Frump.

As the Russian bombing of civilians in Ukraine shows no sign of letting up - 'peace negotiations' or not - our columnist Nataliia Bushkovska writes about what is by now an almost nightly 'tradition' in her family.

Please 😡
How about the media and 'experts' STOP transmitting the manipulations and lies of ALL sides in these so-called 'negotiations'?
If you are interested in getting a more realistic, direct analysis of the peace/piece plan:

🤔 Maybe we have been too hard on Dobald and co regarding the so-called 'Peace Plan'? (aka the 'Piece Plan').

... apparently this Peace-cum-Piece-Plan, their ugly love-child.
I wrote a piece about Witkoff being lead astray by the little KGBist back in August. Sadly, it still holds up - the piece is called 'Summit of Stupidity.'

🌹SPRINGTIME IN MOSCOW🍾
🤔 Well, 6-7 months ago was around the time when Witkoff and Putin first fell in love, had their 'endless' meetings in Springtime Moscow. The result of their d'alliance was the (for Trump) humiliating Alaska summit, Putin being giving more time to kill Ukrainians, and....

The fact that the U.S. Secretary of State has to go out and assure the world that Trump's so-called 'Peace Plan' is NOT written in Moscow says it all.
We are analysing the 'plan' and the many other ways in which Putin and Trump have been trying to fcuk Ukraine:

Our new columnist Nataliia Bushkovska has written a short, personal introduction to Holodomor (great for sharing with those who sadly are less aware of this horror - and its relevance for 2025.)

Spending the day analyzing the 28-point so-called peace plan. And one thing is striking 😉

Ronaldo and Dobaldo

... Slovakia and Slovenia (where his own wife comes from), and that he did not know what NATO's article 5 was. This is no joke, it's well-documented 🫣
Do you remember the days when we thought that George W was a bit dim?😉

Did Dobald Frump even make it to high school❓️
I am only half joking: briefers and experts working with the U.S. President have, in off-the-record interviews, talked about how he was not able to distinguish between the Baltics and the Balkans, Armenia and Albania.. 🫣 1/3

I wrote a short little memory piece about Vladimir Putin's nemesis - THE UKRAINIAN PEOPLE. You can read it for free here (it even includes a music video) 2/2

This is how afraid #Putin is of the Ukrainians and their insistence on democracy, freedom and Europe:
This is #Kharkiv last night, 32 people injured.
BUT it could - literally - have been any night, anywhere in #Ukraine.
For the past almost 4 years. 1/2
November 19, 2025 at 6:06 AM
Wauw. Deep analysis. NOT.
In other words: the Economist predicts that in 2026, #Putin will either continue his war in #Ukraine, or he will not?
Ehhhm....🤔
November 19, 2025 at 2:59 AM
This is Kharkiv yesterday: 3 people killed, 30 injured.
Do you remember when Dobald Frump claimed that Ukraine had started the war - the world's first case of self-invasion? Or that Zelensky and not Putin was the problem? Or when he promised to end the war in 24 hours? Or.... crazy.

NEXT UP (likelihood 90%)
Sounds far-fetched? It's what they do. Far-fetched, crazy. And 77 million Americans voted for 'let's have crazy Dobald Frump and his lying lot run the country and the world.'

In reality, it's everywhere in Ukraine.
Kharkiv in Eastern #Ukraine this morning - Putin's missiles hit a densely populated residential area, 3 people killed, 13 injured.
