Some sharp words and a swift rejection from the Pentagon Tuesday evening: “The prospect of fighter jets ‘at the disposal of the Government of the United States of America’ departing from a U.S./NATO base in Germany to fly into airspace that is contested with Russia over Ukraine raises serious concerns for the entire NATO alliance,” Pentagon press secretary John Kirby said of the Polish announcement which caught the Biden administration by surprise.

First, Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro declined to condemn the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Then, India followed suit – as the Modi government attempted to balance its historic ties with Moscow and its strategic partnership with Washington.

On Tuesday morning, Bloomberg reported that China had accused the US military of operating “dangerous” biolabs in Ukraine – which “echoed a Russian conspiracy theory that Western officials warned could be part of an effort to retroactively justify President Vladimir Putin’s invasion.”

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky told ABC News in an interview that aired Monday night that he had “cooled down” on the idea of Ukraine joining NATO and is open to talks with Russia about the future of the Donbas and Crimea.

Within hours of Joe Biden announcing a far-reaching ban on all US imports of Russian oil – while warning Americans that gas prices are about to “go up further” – Vladimir Putin is reported to have signed his own counter-measure decree.

Russia’s RIA news agency is reporting that the new decree blocks all exports and raw materials from Russia “of certain materials” – with state media reports noting the specific list will be made public in two days.

The condition of China’s winter wheat crop could be the “worst in history,” the agriculture minister said on Saturday according to Reuters, raising concerns about grain supplies in the world’s biggest wheat consumer.

In what was by all accounts an extremely forboding briefing, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi warned Monday during an annual press conference that the US shouldn’t consider building a “Pacific version of NATO to protect Taiwan, because the situations in Ukraine and Taiwan were completely different.

The distant thunder seemed at first like only a bad dream. But then Zakaria woke him with the terrible news.

“Russia has invaded Ukraine,” he said.

In the darkness of the early morning hours, the roar of war rumbled. It was the start of the most brutal conflict Europe has seen since the end of World War II.

In what some might say is the strongest indication that Hillary Clinton is running in 2024, former President Bill Clinton just announced the revival of the Clinton Global Initiative (CGI), an arm of their infamous foundation which was shuttered nearly five years ago after Hillary Clinton’s loss to Donald Trump in the 2016 US election.

In a Friday letter, former President Bill Clinton announced that the Clinton Global Initiative would be reactivated to tackle ‘urgent needs’ such as climate change and the situation in Ukraine.

Ukraine’s President Zelensky has been urging the United States and NATO countries that his military desperately needs more fighter jets to take on the Russian invasion force, on Friday telling US lawmakers in a Zoom call “close the skies or give us planes” – according to a Congressional leader present for the address.

On the morning of February 24, in a Ukrainian suburb 50 miles south of Kyiv, an in-demand nail artist named Katya awakes to booming airstrikes pummeling the region. Outside her kitchen window she sees a misty red sky. Katya’s 9-year-old has slept through the blasts, but her 15-year-old is startled out of bed. She’s now waiting for her teacher to begin class online — not because of the pandemic, but because the government instructed residents to stay home as the Russian army massed at Ukraine’s borders.

The Ukraine war is threatening to throw a monkey wrench into the weekend optimism which started building especially on Friday reports that a revived Iran nuclear deal is mere “steps away” and “very close”.

How did the breakaway territories of Ukraine — the self-proclaimed Donetsk and Luhansk “people’s republics” — gain their independence? The story behind Russia-backed Ukrainian regions explained. 

At a moment that US Congress is busy prepping a whopping $10 billion military and humanitarian aide package for Ukraine, the country’s leader Volodymyr Zelensky is already making a “desperate plea” for more, telling a virtual meeting of over 300 Congress members Saturday that his military urgently needs additional jets to be sent to Kiev.

Only 34 percent of American voters can find Ukraine on a map according to a recent survey, yet they have assumed very strong opinions. As Mark Twain wrote, “God created war so that Americans would learn geography.”

Cette lutte est certes une lutte économique mais également culturelle : les mots sont dévoyés dans une novlangue propre au capitalisme, les représentations artistiques mettent en scène les plus favorisés de la société et leurs préoccupations, etc.

Deprived of a fair trial, jailed human rights defenders take plea deals.

According to our guest on this week’s WhoWhatWhy podcast, author Shay Khatiri, Russia’s attack on Ukraine is not unlike the fall of Afghanistan. It was obvious what was going to happen. We refused to think it would happen, and then we were shocked when it did. 

Khatiri is an author and a national security expert with a Masters Degree in strategic studies from the Paul H. Nitze School of Advanced International studies at Johns Hopkins University.

Israel visits showcase bipartisan support for colonial violence and racism against Palestinians.

Some of those gathered in Times Square the evening of March 2 appeared to have wandered there from Ash Wednesday services, bearing on their foreheads the Lenten symbol of hope in the face of despair. Despite the ashen reality of Russia’s invasion of its neighbor, protesters and bystanders alike joyously chanted, sang and made speeches.

The Cybersecurity Challenges of Working From Anywhere (Maria)

The author writes, “The shift to remote working during the pandemic coincided with a significant rise in cybersecurity incidences as criminals sought to take advantage of both the stress and disruption of the pandemic itself and the increased ‘attack surface’ available to target.

Over the weekend, the world gasped in shock when Western powers announced that the nuclear option would be used against Russia in retaliation for its invasion of Ukraine – sanctions against the country’s central bank and targeted expulsions of key banks from SWIFT, a move which has effectively locked Russia out of the western financial system and left its vast oil export industry – a key lifeline for the Putin regime – in limbo.

During a briefing on Wednesday afternoon, Pentagon spokesperson John Kirby told reporters that the scheduled test launch of a Minuteman III intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) had been postponed to show restraint.

“In an effort to demonstrate that we have no intention in engaging in any actions that can be misunderstood or misconstrued, the Secretary of Defense has directed that our Minuteman III intercontinental ballistic missile test launch scheduled for this week to be postponed.

Ukraine’s Presidential Office has said the second round of talks with Russia are moving forward, after there were prior doubts on whether they would happen. “Now it’s official. The second round of talks between Ukraine and the occupier will take place today,” a statement said. “The delegations will be in the same composition,” it added, while stressing Ukraine will “hold its ground“.
