Recognising Putin is not serious about peace is first step towards effective strategy to permanently stall his attacksWhile Donald Trump – and other western leaders – are taking their time to catch up with reality, it is obvious that Vladimir Putin has no apparent desire to halt the war in Ukraine. A realistic future military and diplomatic strategy for Kyiv has to accept that fact – and formulate a new approach.The past six months have been dominated by the erroneous assumption that it would be possible for Trump to negotiate a ceasefire, even an armistice. That would be followed by the arrival of an Anglo-French led stabilisation force to secure the future of Ukraine. But Putin has shown no desire to stop attacking. Continue reading...

9 h. ago Has America learned anything from the George Floyd uprisings? | Eric Morrison

The response to the demonstrations fell short. But they marked the beginning of a new era that calls for actionFive years ago, the entire world changed when we saw George Floyd’s body on the pavement, a knee pressed into his neck – a murder, in broad daylight. Others might have simply witnessed a horrific incident, but Black people saw ourselves, and what it’s like to live with a knee on our necks at all times. Because George Floyd wasn’t the first – and unless we uproot this system, he won’t be the last. The police have gone so far as to remind us of this by killing more people each year since George Floyd.But the uprisings of 2020 didn’t erupt because of one killing. They were the breaking point of centuries of violence and neglect. Trayvon Martin. Freddie Gray. Sandra Bland. Oscar Grant. Breonna Taylor. Dreasjon Reed. Ma’Khia Bryant. Ahmaud Arbery. And far too many others whose names never trended. The message was clear: we’ve had enough. Continue reading...

He watched the Secret Service pile on the former US president. “I was able to see him standing and I could see the blood on his ear,” Marnell recalls. “When he put his fist up, I remember yelling, ‘Yes! Yes! Yes!’”Sunday marks one year since the assassination attempt on Trump at a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, and a week that changed US politics.
