2025/03/01

Yesterday’s Trump-Zelensky press conference marks a historical turning point.

Today’s discussion with Judge Napolitano focused on the European warmonger leaders and what explains their behavior, on how they think they can maneuver Donald Trump to provide the back-stop to their planned peacekeeping force in post-war Ukraine. Do the hostile statements about Russia by European leaders reflect the thinking of their own populations? Why would … Continue reading Judging Freedom, edition of 26 February: Europe Stands Alone →
