Interesting feature on the incoming US HHS Secretary. Seems there are pros and cons to this appointment. If he gets confirmed, it will be interesting to see how he carries out his job. newyorker.com/magazine/2024/…

Kazakhstan is practically a Russian-speaking country, Putin told Tokayev, president of Kazakhstan. Tokayev started speaking Kazakh in reply.

Putin at the CSTO summit in Astana, Kazakhstan. He doesn't look like a confident leader, certain of himself. In fact, he looks anxious, especially his hands.

Important policy announcement by @nzlabour leader @chrishipkins who has ruled out NZ joining #Aukus security agreement under Labour Govt. “We are proud to stand apart & lead the world being nuclear-free, that is not going to change now” Chris Hipkins said stuff.co.nz/politics/36050…


What choice does Ukraine have, especially if US support is expected to decrease with the incoming Trump administration? It's not an ideal situation but thats a reality. It will be a win for regimes who seek to get their way through force.

Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskiy suggested he’d accept a cease-fire with Russia that left parts of his country occupied in return for NATO security guarantees over the rest. trib.al/V477TK3

At Kyiv’s Wall of Remembrance, I paid my respects to the Ukrainians who made the ultimate sacrifice defending their country. Ukraine’s unbreakable resolve will long outlive Putin’s imperial delusions. The European Union will continue to stand with Ukraine.
