With the release of the Epstein materials, we find out that Jeffrey Epstein was offering to provide dirt & photos on Donald Trump to Russia. Who knows what Vladimir Putin actually has on him. It could be a simple as dangling the Trump tower Moscow deal that Trump lied about pursuing while he was running in 2015.

Europe is the only hope. Donald Trump at the first sign he sees an opportunity will say he ended the war and whatever “peace” agreement Trump & Rubio extort Ukraine into will leave the Ukrainian territory as safe as the East wing of the White House.

I read the Kyiv Independent and the ISW updates every day as well as other sources and could not have captured an overview of what is happening any better than this article. Thank you Cathy.

Our Maladministration relies on meaningless propaganda concerning the Russian invasion of Ukraine that only satisfies our Felonious Oath-Breaker-in-Chief, who daily demonstrates his inability to implement such a project.

As if the incompetent apparatchiks he installed to run our national security elements - ODNI, DHS, DoJ, State, FBI, CIA, NSA, NGA - were capable of accomplishing that task.

It seems to me that our NATO allies have a much clearer approach toward a strategic goal: defeat the Russian invasion of a sovereign neighboring independent country, Ukraine.

Its also clear to me that our NATO allies are not certain of our status as an Ally, given our whimsical, TACO missteps that constitute our misguided attempts at foreign policy.

Ah, but what do I think I know?

Thank you for this update Cathy and for all your continuing coverage of this terrible war. What a stark contrast between the courage of the Ukrainians in defying the Russians and the cowardice that so many Americans have shown in the face of Trump's attempted destruction of our Constitution, rule of law and simple human decency.
