According to the Unified Rules of Boxing issued by the U.S. Association of Boxing Commissions and Combative Sports, when the bell sounds for the end of each round, there is a “rest period” before the boxers resume their fight, or one retires too hurt to continue.

According to General Daniel Caine, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the U.S. has knocked out Iran’s nuclear enrichment and nuclear weapon preparation plants with “extremely severe destruction”; “completely and totally”, according to President Donald Trump.

Russian and Chinese Military Cargo Planes are shuttling “support” to Iran: Weapons systems, air defenses, missiles, and so forth.

Putin is much too quick not to recognize that President Donald Trump is both a fraudster and an enemy.

The game of tell-and-consequences begins with a prompt.

On Friday, the United States granted approval for Germany to transfer 125 long-range artillery rockets and 100 Patriot air-defense missiles to Ukraine, a congressional official confirmed to The New York Times.

Once and for all, we can lay to rest any notion that the Biden administration ever did anything to stop the Gaza genocide.

Walking along the thoroughfares of the Russian capital these days, it’s easy to feel as though you’ve gone “Back to the Future.” Like Marty McFly in the classic 1985 movie, visitors to Moscow might imagine they’ve traveled back in time to the Soviet past, when socialism beat Hitler and the future of communism beckoned on […]

The details of the ceasefire negotiations between the U.S., Europe and Ukraine continue to make headlines despite being largely irrelevant for an end of the conflict in Ukraine.

The way to prevent the Ukraine war from being understood is to suppress its history.

Some world events can look different to those of us onthis side of the Atlantic, also, more precisely, in Berlin. God knows, here too I’m frightened at what Trump, Vance and Musk are doing and planning. Nor do I love Putin. But what I hate above all else is war—and is closer over here. I’m […]

In total contrast to the ideals of universalism, the Trump-Vance swagger to defend and increase only U.S. interests is apparent in their MAGA doctrine and was revealed in their gangsterish Oval Office thuggery towards Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

ON Friday, February 28, when U.S. President Donald Trump sat in the Oval Office of the White House with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Trump mused: ‘I hope I will be remembered as a peacemaker’.

This conflict has exposed all of us to the serious risk of a European or even global nuclear war and has caused enormous ecological devastation.

We must be able to acknowledge that Donald Trump has created a serious constitutional crisis while also recognizing that changing the U.S. relationship with Russia is groundbreaking and a necessity.

The outcry spread quickly across the Western world: Donald Trump dared say Ukraine started the war.

The Trump administration is increasing its pressure on Ukraine’s (former) president Zelenski to swallow the shit sandwich.

As part of reading up on the JD Vance speech I stumbled over an outrageously arrogant attempt of reader manipulation in the New York Times.

Today the Trump administration told the Ukraine war party that their game is finally up.
