People still talk about the foreign policy of the Trump administration as if (a) it's designed to advance US national interests, rather than private ones and (b) there's a reasonable expectation of competence and coherence. Neither of these things is correct.

President Trump said that Russia "has been fine on Ukraine," adding, "they haven't been doing much." - The reality is that Russia commits war crimes and genocide in Ukraine every single day. -- So has the President of the United States just announced he is a Putinist collaborator?

With Trump's removal of Starlink, Russians are now hunting cars full of people in Kyiv, using jet drones for which Ukraine's interceptors no longer function to stop. Three people murdered an hour ago in southern Kyiv, with six others injured, three of which are children.

Kaliningrad remains a key forward position for Russia but its near-complete isolation, in a Baltic region dominated by NATO, presents Moscow with a serious military challenge.

There's not a jot of difference between Aleksandr Ovechkin saying: "I'm Russian and I support my country" in 2026 and a Nazi athlete saying : "I'm German and I support my country" in 1943. Rashism (russian fascism) is the engine of war and genocide in our time as Nazism was in the 1930s and 40s.
