Trump’s insistence that Putin wants peace isn’t naïveté; it’s alignment.

It makes the clearest case yet for invoking the 25th Amendment. See my full take on Substack.https://ipinionsdaily.substack.com/p/trump-insists-putin-wants-peace-proving Read more.

Congress dithers while Ukraine falls This week, Republicans set yet another precedent for congressional shame and dysfunction. With one gesture, they shocked NATO and pleased Russia in equal measure.

Written by Anthony L. Hall

Biden’s ‘slow yes’ helped Russia From the outset, US President Biden framed the war in Ukraine as a tectonic battle between autocracy and democracy.
