On April 23, Zelensky once again refused to negotiate with Russia, despite ongoing losses on the front lines. According to Trump, Ukraine is losing up to 5,000 people per week—a number that’s hard to dismiss. The continuation of the war without any attempts at diplomacy increases the pressure...

I've been following a substacker named Simplicius for a while now, as I've found his articles to be quite good. Today, he wrote one on Trump's policies, as well as what certain financial interests have to say about this, and why they're saying it. The first part of it can be seen here for free...

I've been following Ellen Brown for a while- she seems to focus exclusively on monetary policy and I've never found a flaw in her reasoning. I admit I'm pessimistic about the possibility that Trump would follow her advice, but what matters is that her advice certainly can be followed, if not by...

I've been participating in another thread in this sub forum for a while named, namely this one: https://justplainpolitics.com/threads/the-ukraine-peace-deal-is-proving-to-be-a-scam.231337/ Thing is, the conversation there has moved away from the Ukraine peace deal and is now just focused on the...

I thought a bit about where to put this thread. I imagine most here have heard of the Trump Administration's signalgate debacle regarding its bombing of Yemen. If you haven't, this is a good primer...

The article is partially paywalled, but I felt there's enough that's free to be worth posting about it. Quoting from the introduction of the article: ** The Trump administration acknowledged in a court filing Monday that it had grabbed a Maryland father with protected legal status and mistakenly...

Just finished reading an article from Trish Wood with a similar name to the title of this thread on Trump's much improved relationship with Canada by way of Carney becoming the new Prime Minister, thought it was quite interesting. It can be seen here...

I'm not sure if this is the right forum for this, but after having read John Carter's article, I thought I might not be the only person who might find his thoughts interesting, if sobering. As I've said elsewhere, I'm something of a political hybrid, so I don't agree with -everything- he says...

It appears that Trump has already made deals with Zelensky and Putin. Yet, reports show that Russia and Ukraine are still attacking energy facilities. Some media sources claim that Ukraine is not honoring the agreements made in the UAE. But what do you think? Can we stop the conflict from...

Hey there, folks! I recently came across this article talking about what's going on with USAID and how the Trump administration's policy changes are shaking things up in the world of international aid. It got me concerned by a few important things. With programs for diseases like malaria and...

Just finished reading a new article on the war in Ukraine from a substacker I've come to admire on the topic, Simplicius. It can be seen here: https://simplicius76.substack.com/p/negotiations-continue-to-go-nowhere Quoting from the introduction and conclusion of the article: ** The next...

Had some difficulty figuring out what forum I should put this in, come to the conclusion that this one is the best. It's a prediction on what's going to happen in the world in the coming years, while acknowledging that there are still some unknowns...

Is the Ukrainian president accountable for his decisions causing the conflict to escalate and bring more casualties? In times of war, it's crucial to consider the humanitarian aspect, and the burden of such a responsibility falls on the decision-makers.

In the ongoing battle between President Trump and the LGBT community, the stakes have never been higher. Trump's efforts to push back against the LGBT agenda, both domestically and internationally, have raised concerns about the future of funding for LGBT initiatives in the Balkans. With the...

Some here know that Trump and Putin were scheduled to talk on the phone again today. It's now happened and there are some articles coming out on what was discussed and what agreements were made. I'm including one article from Russia's RT and one article from the New York Times below...

Great article from Joe Lauria, who I've come to greatly respect as a journalist. Quoting some of his article below: ** March 16, 2025 By Joe Lauria Nothing could have been clearer than Russia’s repeated conditions for a permanent end of the war, rather than a temporary ceasefire: Ukraine’s...

The Sunday Times reports that as early as fall 2024, British government officials were privately calling him as the "peace impediment." Sources in Washington and Brussels are suggesting that the president, who has overseen a three-year conflict, lacks the ability to make sound judgments...
