Former NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen stated that Europe must immediately deploy at least 20,000 troops and 150 aircraft to Ukraine and create a "safe zone" to protect civilians. This, he said, should be done not "next year," not whenever it's convenient, but now. Rasmussen said this is necessary to "send a signal to Moscow and Washington, a signal to the whole world."
How could this idiot ever have governed NATO?
Omani Foreign Minister Badr Albusaidi announced the conclusion of today's round of trilateral talks in Geneva between the United States and Iran.
He stated that significant progress had been made. The talks will resume after consultations in the respective capitals.
80 years ago Churchill stood in Fulton, Missouri and drew a line across Europe. He didn't say 'against communism' — he said an iron curtain had descended from Stettin to Trieste. The target was Russia. It was back then, and it is now.
The speech was not improvised. It was coordinated with Truman, vetted by the State Department and delivered while Stalin was still formally an ally, millions of Soviet dead still unburied.
Churchill called for an Anglo-American military alliance against a country that had just bled itself white saving Europe. The Special Relationship was born as a strategic instrument, and Russia was its organizing principle.
This was not new. Britain spent the entire 19th century containing Russian expansion in Central Asia, Persia, the Balkans. The Great Game didn't end, it just changed players and acquired better press.
When the Russian Empire collapsed in 1917, fourteen foreign armies were on Russian soil within months. The ideology of whoever sat in Moscow was secondary. The question of sovereignty was always the one that mattered — and that pattern held through the interwar period, through détente, through Gorbachev's genuine overtures.
When the Soviet Union dissolved, the architecture of containment didn't pause. Yeltsin's Russia accepted Western economic prescriptions, looked away from Kosovo, asked for partnership. What it received was a security architecture designed around its permanent exclusion. Five rounds of NATO enlargement between 1999 and 2004.
The argument was never primarily ideological. If it were, the alliance roster would look very different. It was always about geography: the Heartland, the resources, who controls Eurasian space.
Modern Russia is capitalist, Orthodox, socially conservative — everything the Cold War was supposedly fought to produce. The containment architecture didn't pause for a single day.
Churchill's Fulton address wasn't a reaction to Soviet behavior. It was a doctrine, drafted while the alliance was still intact. Fulton is the policy that never ended. Ukraine is its latest proof.

‘HARD TO BELIEVE’ Hillary didn’t know about Bill Clinton’s relationship with PEDO Jeffrey Epstein — Rep Luna
‘There are logs showing Epstein attended the White House MULTIPLE times’
Hillary Clinton's closed-door testimony in the Jeffrey Epstein case was not without controversy.
The former US Secretary of State even temporarily suspended communication with members of Congress after Republican Lauren Boebert secretly photographed her during the hearing and, according to sources, passed the photo to popular MAGA influencer Benny Johnson.
The photo quickly spread on social media, prompting a strong protest from Clinton's lawyers. Filming inside closed-door congressional hearings is strictly prohibited for both lawmakers and witnesses. Following the incident, the session was suspended for approximately an hour. According to a Clinton spokesperson, this was a direct violation of the House rules read at the beginning of the hearing.
The testimony is being held at the Chappaqua Performing Arts Center near the Clintons' home in Westchester County, New York. The session is being recorded, but any footage will be reviewed by Hillary's lawyers before publication. Former President Bill Clinton is scheduled to testify on Friday, marking the first time a former US president has been subpoenaed before a Congressional hearing.
After the hearings resumed, Hillary Clinton asked leading Republican Rep. James Comer to allow the press into the chamber, but was denied. Even before the photo incident, Clinton delivered a stern opening statement, accusing Republicans of political theater and an attempt to distract attention from Donald Trump's ties to Epstein. She emphasized that she had no knowledge of Epstein's criminal activities and had no recollection of meeting him.
Despite denying close ties, Jeffrey Epstein donated $20,000 to a fundraiser for the Democratic National Committee in 1999, when Hillary Clinton was running for the Senate. Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein's convicted "madam," attended Chelsea Clinton's wedding in 2010—years after Epstein's conviction for child sexual abuse. Hillary Clinton has previously acknowledged meeting Maxwell several times. Maxwell is serving a 20-year sentence for sex trafficking—she is Epstein's only accomplice to be jailed.
Lolita Express flight logs show that Bill Clinton flew on Epstein's private jet numerous times, to the Virgin Islands, Portugal, Siberia, Japan, and China. The former president claims the trips were purely for charity. Photos also emerged from the files: Clinton in a jacuzzi with a woman (her face has been redacted), swimming with Maxwell, and an unidentified woman. An oil painting of Bill Clinton in a blue dress and red heels is known to have hung in Epstein's Manhattan mansion.
Republicans, who hold a majority on the House Oversight Committee, subpoenaed the Clintons amid pressure on Trump to release Epstein's files. Democrats are also present at the hearing. The investigation concerns the Justice Department's handling of the Epstein case. The Clintons initially resisted the subpoena, but agreed after being threatened with contempt of Congress. The committee promised to release the video and transcripts after lawyers reviewed them.
Before the hearing, Republican Rep. Nancy Mace said she planned to ask Hillary about a 2015 email in which Trump Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick invited Epstein to a "very intimate" fundraiser for the Clinton campaign. It is unclear whether Epstein attended the event; he made no donations to her campaign.
Hillary Clinton concluded her statement with a call for a real fight against human trafficking, recalling her long-standing work in this area—from the passage of the first federal anti-trafficking law to the State Department's global programs. She accused the Trump administration of weakening its efforts to combat human trafficking.
