That's the right bargaining stance from Zelenskyy. The bundle of three conditions - Moscow stops bombing; Musk-Trump extend Starlink help; and Trump-Hegseth give Patriots - is the only one that makes sense, and it is the right test of American and Russian honesty.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy says Ukraine could halt strikes on Russian oil refineries — but only if Moscow stops attacking Ukraine’s energy infrastructure, Starlink access is expanded to help target Russian missile launchers, and Kyiv receives Patriot interceptor missiles

The question is: Why did Trump derail peace talks?

A new piece that reminds everyone how Trump moved the US from an ally of Ukraine to a both-siding observer to now a budding Russian ally and speculates about how much farther he can go. www.policymagazine.ca/trumps-embra...

Just to be clear: the intelligence not being shared with Ukraine is not about targets in Russia. It’s about letting Russia target Ukrainian civilians indiscriminately, and not helping Ukraine warn its people so they can survive attacks. Trump is on the wrong side. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/13/w...

nytimes.comUkraine Says It Received No Intelligence About Strikes 2 Nights in a Row (Gift Article)Asked about apparent U.S. threats to cut off intelligence sharing with Kyiv, which can warn of Russian aerial attacks, President Trump said information continued to flow.

“We have to move out of the framework Trump wants us to be in. He wants it to be a zero-sum game.” The Walrus met with Chrystia Freeland to discuss what Canada can do when America goes “from being a kindly trad husband to a violent one.” thewalrus.ca/chrystia-freelan...

Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson: “If the Strait of Hormuz is open, why did America reach out to Russia to solve the diesel problem?”

Gentle reminder: Brexit isn’t shit just because the Russians backed it. It’s shit, and that’s why the Russians backed it.

Check out the documentary “The Hunting Ground” on Prime from 2015. It's a disturbing look at the sexual assault problem on American campuses. That was over 10 years ago, nothing has changed.

But when we crave power over life—endless wealth, unassailable safety, immortality—then desire becomes greed. And if knowledge allies itself to that greed, then comes evil. Then the balance of the world is swayed, and ruin weighs heavy in the scale.

Brilliant! Even the current ineffective Congress would probably do a better job than the current administration on oversight if they had responsibility for it.

As former DHS IG John Roth writes, we must restore the independence of inspectors general. Here’s an even bolder idea—move them to the legislative branch so a “unitary executive” can’t fire them. www.brennancenter.org/our-work/ana...

brennancenter.orgRestoring Independence to Government WatchdogsStronger job protections, auditing standards, and oversight are needed to allow inspectors general to do their jobs effectively.

One reason to ensure we have no billionaires is that they become targets of authoritarians and feel the need to protect themselves rather than take a stand.

I wrote about Google and Apple's enthusiastic support of Trump's pointless and wildly-unpopular attempt to rename Lake Ontario.

karlbode.comNever Forget How Eagerly Apple And Google Coddled FascismThe US slide into autocracy has been enabled at every step by pathetic tech executives that enthusiastically embraced a complete lack of ethics.

Donald Trump’s stunts signal that the American empire is in decline. Political theorist David Moscrop argues this decay fuels democratic decline beyond its borders—a shift that leaves citizens worldwide navigating the fallout of an unravelling superpower.https://ow.ly/HxRk50ZGQhE
