Ukraine’s national security council will introduce a state of emergency Wednesday across the entire country except for eastern regions of Donetsk and Luhansk, where a state of emergency has been in place since 2014. Both areas are controlled by Russian-backed separatists and are now recognized by Russia.

Citing grave dangers to human life and the environment, activists in two western states are suing the federal government to stop the construction of a new railway in northeastern Utah that would quadruple the area’s crude oil production and cut through a pristine forest wilderness.

In addition to endangering the local population and nearby waterways, activists say the railway would also send the wrong message from an administration that has promised to take steps to curb greenhouse gas emissions.

Russian President Vladimir Putin’s announcement that he is officially recognizing the independence of two separatist Ukrainian regions and is sending in troops “to maintain order” is ominous, but it is not a definitive declaration of war — at least not quite yet. However, this small step could have implications for the entire world.

After weeks of uncritically passing along completely unevidenced claims about an endlessly imminent Russian invasion of Ukraine, the mass media have suddenly remembered basic journalistic ethics when reporting on claims that Ukraine is plotting an attack on Russia-backed separatists.

Update(2:30pmET): It’s official: Putin has confirmed the change of status recognition while warning Kiev and the West that Russia’s military will act against any further aggression. He warned that Ukraine’s government must now halt all military actions against Donbas or whatever happens next will be on them.

The Olympic Games are over, which means that some Americans may be feeling a bit of a void. After all, for the past two weeks they were able to experience the thrill of non-stop competition every time they turned on their televisions.

Au début des années 1960, au plus fort de la première guerre froide entre l’Amérique et l’Union soviétique, mon ancienne arme, l’armée de l’air, a cherché à construire 10 000 missiles nucléaires terrestres.

According to our guest on this week’s WhoWhatWhy podcast, novelist and culture writer Stephen Marche (The Next Civil War: Dispatches from the American Future), the US is careening toward catastrophe.

In a dramatic address to the UN Security Council in New York on Thursday, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said “I am here today not to start a war but to prevent one.” He referenced “evidence” though without detailing it that Russia is “moving toward an imminent“ (there’s that word again) invasion of Ukraine.

Canadian Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland said Thursday that financial institutions have been actively freezing the accounts of people linked to the medical freedom protests in Ottawa, which has left an unknown number of protesters and donors in financial limbo, according to state-owned CBC.
