Europe Hatches Plans for Ukraine Peacekeepers Without U.S.

Western allies are trying to hash out a bold European idea: sending 10,000 to 30,000 troops to Ukraine to help enforce any eventual peace deal with Russia.

…

As things stand, the chance of this force ever heading to Ukraine is a long shot, says Bence Németh, a defense expert at King’s College London. European leaders say they will only send troops if there is a lasting peace in Ukraine. Russian President Vladimir Putin has so far ruled out signing a peace deal that includes Western forces in Ukraine.

Zelensky describes exchange with Trump on nuclear power plant ‘ownership’

Zelensky said “ownership” was not discussed specifically, but that a U.S. role in controlling the plant was a “question of whether we are able to recover it and recover operations,” according to The Financial Times.

It wasn’t until I listened to Jim Jatras and Rachel Blevins discuss Trump’s interest in gaining control over the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant that it finally clicked for me. 🤦🏼‍♀️

Zelenskiy presses allies for security guarantees, foreign troops in Ukraine

March 15 (Reuters) – Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said on Saturday he had urged Kyiv’s Western allies to give “a clear position” on security guarantees including about a potential foreign troop contingent on Ukrainian soil with a U.S. backstop.

His comments came after British Prime Minister Keir Starmer held a virtual call with other European leaders and allies, including Zelenskiy, where Starmer said a “coalition of the willing” would help secure Ukraine “on the land, at sea and in the sky” in the event of a peace deal with Russia.

…

Starmer has also called for a U.S. security backstop to help secure a lasting peace between Russia and Ukraine in the three-year-old war.

[2013] Balkan Peace and Prosperity Will Remain Elusive Unless Freed of Dead Hand of the 1990s

Tina Marie (Ms. Cat)

Aug 09, 2013 // It has been said that the Balkan region produces more history than can be consumed locally. Much of the world would prefer to forget the bloody breakup of former Yugoslavia, if only to escape the competing versions of history that members of the various communities seem so inordinately fond of reciting.

My Role in Weaponizing ‘Moral Equivalence’ and ‘Religious Freedom’

It’s confession time … Without getting overly autobiographical, it is worth noting that my perspectives (whatever their value) on American public policy and global affairs…

Posting for a few reasons, including my own personal interest in the Orthodox Church. I hadn’t known that Mr. Jatras was an Orthodox Christian, until I followed him on Twitter a while back. I recently found his writings on the Chinese Uighurs, which he also mentions in this article. Someday I will have to put together a list of people who I admire. It won’t a long list, since I’m still new to geopolitics, but Jim Jatras will definitely be on that list!

Saw someone mention Jim Jatras in The Duran’s chat room, during their YouTube Livestream, and did a search for him. I liked this interview because he’s right. It’s always about the children, whether we go to war, ban something, regulate school lunches, or whatever. He also talks about how people were turning to alternative media sources, instead of MSM, and brings up the Deep State.
