‘Russia poses an enduring threat to vital U.S. national security interests, American allies, and the U.S.-led international order.
A Ukraine settlement will not change the underlying competitive dynamic in U.S.-Russia relations.
Putin’s goals remain to diminish U.S. leadership; form a countervailing axis with American adversaries in China, Iran, and North Korea to overthrow the American-led international order; reconstitute the Russian empire; and build a spheres-of-influence world that undermines American security and alliances.
Only a U.S. policy that confronts Putin with strength rather than appeasing him can produce a secure and sustainable peace in Europe. Europe must step up to defend the postwar peace, but a U.S. strategy of “leading from behind” will put American security at risk. Two world wars which began after the U.S. decoupled from Europe demonstrate the danger of doing so again.
A peace settlement in Ukraine must deter not embolden further Russian aggression, with the United States reinforcing Europe’s heightened defense posture. A pullback of capabilities risks inviting further Russian expansionism.
Polling shows that Americans overwhelmingly support increasing the U.S. military presence in Eastern Europe to counter Russian aggression.’

A big bad wolf is essential for the American MIC’s continued wealth.
Any leader recognising Palestine as a state certainly isn’t a realist, they’re not even an idealist, but they are 100% appeasers playing a political game, not least because they’ve now let so many Jew-hating Muslims into their countries that they’re forced to bend over for Islam, whether they like it or not. To do otherwise would be political suicide, but they made their beds… ”This week, two diplomatic earthquakes shook the Israel-Palestine file. First, France’s Emmanuel Macron announced his intention to recognize a Palestinian state. Then, the UK’s Keir Starmer followed with a warning: if Israel doesn’t end the war in Gaza, halt settlement activity, and commit to a two-state solution, Britain will follow suit. Not to be left behind, Canada joined the chorus a day later. These announcements — the first of their kind from G7 nations — are a gift to Hamas. They showcase political theater aimed at radicalized domestic audiences and represent a tragic misread of regional dynamics. They won’t end the war. They won’t help Palestinians. But they do send a clear message: terrorism works, and moderation is for fools. Meanwhile — and in a twist no one saw coming but all should welcome — Arab… Read more »
Horrendous behaviour by these two women against defenseless small children in their care. Nice, typical English names too, therefore I’m sure it’s just coincidence that one only got 12 months in prison. The obvious comparison to political prisoner Lucy Connolly, who never harmed anyone’s child and only posted an angry tweet, springs to mind; ”Two cruel nursery workers were caught slapping and grabbing special needs children before trying to wipe off CCTV. Anbreen Tariq, 45, and Salima Fajal, 40, abused three children at a £2,000-a-month day care centre in west London between March and July 2021. Footage shows Fajal, a mother-of-four, grabbing a three-year-old girl by her arm and holding her in the air before slapping her twice. The girl’s parents became suspicious when Fajal called them to say their daughter’s nose was bleeding, but found her with a bruised eye and redness to her face. Fajal, who tried to claim she slapped the child because she was choking, then went back to the nursery later that evening to destroy CCTV footage. Her colleague Tariq was also caught on CCTV hitting an autistic boy’s head with a mobile phone before kicking him in the back. He is then seen crying on the floor. Family members… Read more »
Very English names. Presumably recent arrivals because it’s their culture. Innit?
No action taken against the nursery owners?
“Why Russiagate is the scandal that shouldn’t go away”
But not interesting enough to get much, if any mention, in the MSM. Funny, that.
So deep that not even Hamas’ Billionaire gang leaders can feed Gaza…
