En el arte del acuerdo, amenazar con colapsar la economía estadounidense llevaría a Trump a la mesa mucho más rápido que una guerra de aranceles.

Putin sees that the U.S. is trying to intermediate in talks, rather than simply taking sides with Ukraine.

In the art of the deal, threatening to crash the U.S. economy would bring Trump to the table far quicker than a tariff war.

Let’s hope the small steps towards trust Putin and Trump are taking right now develop into something lasting.

In this war of attrition, Ukraine, and Europe, will run out of money first.

The Minsk agreements fell apart because delivering special status for the Donbas was politically too difficult in Ukraine.

The basic maths show a significant net loss to Zelensky over the past six months.

Starmer has decided quietly to ditch Zelensky and to line up behind Trump’s plans for a peace deal.

If London really wants to sharpen up its armed forces, it should, as Donald Trump has done, create a DOGE like body.

Now that Zelensky has been battered by Trump and abandoned by Starmer, he can fall back of Europe’s leading diplomat, Kaja Kallas. God help us all.
