The Human Rights Watch report show the whole of Kherson has become a concentration camp. Indiscriminate murder, rape and unimaginably cruel torture used against civilians
People interviewed described being tortured, or witnessing torture, through prolonged beatings and in some cases electric shocks. They described injuries including broken ribs and other bones and teeth, severe burns, concussions, broken blood vessels in the eye, cuts, and bruises
A detained protest organizer, who requested anonymity, said Russian forces beat him with a baseball bat in detention. Another protestor was hospitalized for a month for injuries from beatings in detention. A third said that after seven days in detention he could “barely walk”
Oleh said that on the first day, he was blindfolded and interrogated for 12 hours, and that the agents beat him, gave him electric shocks, and tried to suffocate him with a plastic bag.
The Russian forces made him take off his jeans, taped his legs together and continued beating him. They administered electric shocks through clips they attached to his earlobes, at first for a few seconds, then for up to 20 seconds, while asking questions about protests
Why are Ukrainians fighting? To avoid living forever in a concentration camp of unrestrained violence and cruelty

Why do I think Russia signed the grain agreement and why is it regularly interested in signing agreements it has no intention of respecting?
Well, Russia is interested in a future agreement where its gains can be recognised, but in order to keep that possibility open it needs to continue feeding it, even if never feels obligated to anything it signs. A form of reflexive conditioning
If tomorrow its forces in Ukraine are under pressure Russia may suddenly need an international agreement. Perhaps Macron will be invited to Moscow, perhaps Guterres will. They will be eager to redeem themselves from past failures

Waiting for the reaction to the brutal attack on Odessa port
My suggestion: “I take this as an insult directed at the UN and at myself personally. Will call for an emergency meeting of the Security Council to discuss the appropriate response. The UN is under attack”
Third time this year that Putin directly insults and humiliates Guterres and the UN. But when people don’t stand up for themselves that tends to happen

Spain predictably not happy it is being asked to sacrifice in order to solve Germany’s energy problems

“A diferencia que otros países, los españoles no hemos vivido por encima de nuestras posibilidades desde el punto de vista energético”
For the younger crowd, this is a reference to the eurozone crisis

People in Germany, France and also in America will sometimes say they are not directly threatened by Russia. Well, depends. There won’t be a Russian army in Berlin or Paris, but then the greatest threat for Ukraine at present is the wave of terrorist attacks… Question:
Do you think the Kremlin does not have the capacity and willingness to conduct a wave of terrorist attacks in Paris or Berlin? Food for thought as they say
Allow Ukrainians to lose and you may one day find yourself in their position

Most geopolitical problems today result directly from people’s and countries’ inability to make up their minds in face of inevitable change (in reality of changes that have already happened)
Example: France’s and Germany’s inability to realise Russia is no longer part of the European system and that French and German foreign policies no longer exist (only a European foreign policy exists today)
Just an example. I could give a dozen more

Kissinger disagrees with those who think the US should focus on China. Priority is Russia
And no territorial concessions
Of course Russia is not part of Europe. Arguably never was. See my Dawn of Eurasia
