After Musk and Trump already demonstrated that Ukraine’s use of Starlink/Starshield can be throttled in an instant, therefore risking the collapse of the entire front line if taken to the extreme of a full-scale shutdown, Zelensky might be more pliable to a peace deal with Putin. SpaceX founder Elon Musk […]
Just days before the midterm elections, two sets of figures released within days of each other describe the same mood from opposite directions. A Reuters/Ipsos poll puts Donald Trump’s approval rating at 32%, the lowest of his presidency. A study by the non-profit Food & Water Watch finds that US […]
While Steve Witkoff flies to St. Petersburg and offers Putin a three-way summit with Trump and Zelensky, Brussels is already counting who will speak to the Kremlin. If Europe ends up outside the room again, it will be left only to pay for someone else’s peace. Politico puts it bluntly: […]

The constitution does not allow a third presidential term—that is the whole reason for the “swap.” Putin, during their last conversation, did not ask “why are you leaving,” […]
