Russo-Ukrainian War 2014-26

[The Minsky Moment]

Munich from 1938 called, they want their imminent world war back.

I think that's too harsh on Chamberlain and on the call at Munich. Chamberlain has a sense of what he was dealing with but was concerned about the relative lack of preparation; he did use the interim period to gear up for war.

Trump and Witkoff are straight up Quislings, cat's paws for Putin.

[The Minsky Moment]

The US can recognize anything it wants, it doesn't change the facts on the ground. Two weeks ago Trump was wanting to send tomahawks, asking Zelensky to strike Moscow. It's best not to focus too much on the imperial death throes in Washington. They've provided less than 1% of the aid Ukraine received in 2025, confirming their irrelevancy.

This.

It's the reality show Presidency in Washington.  Torrents of words and posturing and mugging for the cameras, no content.  Just ignore it all, Zelensky seems to have figured it out.  Ignore it all, and if the US drops something nice to you at some point, great; otherwise, it's business as usual.
