On March 18th, Trump and Putin agreed on a deal in which Ukraine and Russia will have a 30-day ceasefire on attacks against each other’s energy infrastructure. The following superb discussion about it by three objective experts on geostrategy — Ray McGovern and Larry Johnson, retired from the CIA, and […]
Russia isn’t a signatory nor does it plan to invade any of those four countries. The Baltic States’ and Poland’s Defense Ministers issued a joint statement on Tuesday announcing that their countries are withdrawing from the Anti-Personnel Mine Ban Convention (Ottawa Convention) in response to what they portrayed as new threats from […]
Will Ukraine and Europe Support the deal?
