The Trump administration’s desired detente with Russia requires a Ukrainian peace that lasts, writes Stephen Sestanovich. foreignpolicy.com/2025/05/01/tru…

Great to welcome my friend President Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський to the #NATOsummit where Allies will reconfirm their unwavering support for #Ukraine. We will continue to build the bridge for Ukraine’s irreversible path to #NATO membership. Our message is clear: NATO stands with Ukraine 🇺🇦

Tulsi Gabbard a little nervous this afternoon?

Waiting to hear how Lindsey Graham explains this one.

So, of course, could less pressure. (The president obviously wants to give that strategy a try.)

Blumenthal has to know that the “bone-crushing” tariffs are never going to happen. Real question is whether Congress can pass something meaningful instead. (I hear you: these days the words “Congress” and “meaningful” don’t always go together…)

Not hesitate even a little bit…?

Anybody apologizing for cutting off supplies in the first place—or at least acknowledging the damage done?

Columbia will learn the hard way that you never pay the mafia once. Eventually, Trump will demand more & Columbia will pay more, because this was never about the real problem of antisemitism - it's about the state claiming power over independent institutions.

Is there a foreign-ministry spokesman anywhere who knows how to get attention the way Zakharova does? (She could have added all this happened during the Soviet alliance with Hitler…ah, the good old days!)
