Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky has called for the creation of an "army of Europe" to guard against Russia as he suggested the US may no longer come to the continent's aid.
Speaking at the Munich Security Conference, he also said that Ukraine would "never accept deals made behind our backs without our involvement" after US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin agreed to start peace talks.
The free world can ignore the US for now, and pull together to defeat Putin.
It took some time for the US to abandon isolationism in WW2, but they joined in eventually to tip the balance.
OUR armies in Europe are in NATO, and Putin the bully already has a bloody nose from underestimating Zelensky.
Time for a Churchill to emerge. -
When Hong Kong was returned to the Beijing Government the first action of the new regime was to throw out all the school and library history books, and introduce the Chinese version.
Currently the new US administration is forcing out senior leadership at the National Archives and Records Administration.
“President Donald Trump has been highly critical of the archives since the agency asked the Department of Justice to investigate Trump’s mishandling of classified documents after he left office.”
Communist or Capitalist, they need to affirm their version of history.

We’ve written before at HuffPost UK about how changes to a person’s walking speed or style can sometimes be an early sign of dementia.
We also know that increased frailty can reveal an increased dementia risk nine years ahead of diagnosis.
The NHS advises older adults (over 65) to get some form of exercise every single day, even if it’s only light movement, because it can help to combat the risks of heart disease and stroke.
But a group of researchers found that how someone’s gait (their walking style and speed) looks decades earlier than that may reveal “faster ageing” overall.
What does a person’s walking style say about how they’re ageing?
The researchers said that while gait speed is a well-known health marker for older adults, “little is known about the factors associated with gait speed earlier in life”.
So, they looked at data from 904 New Zealanders who took part in the Dunedin Multidisciplinary Health and Development Study. The research took place over five decades of the participants’ lives ― from birth until they were 45.
They found that the people involved in the study who had a slower gait speed at aged 45 tended to have increased signs of ageing overall, including earlier facial ageing and more compromised teeth, lungs and immune systems.
Their brains seemed to have aged faster, too.
There was also “a mean difference of 16 IQ points between the slowest and fastest walkers”, a factor which researchers say was “remarkably” linked to how a lot of participants performed at cognitive tests aged just three years old.
In short, the scientists say the “gait speed test is cheap, safe, easy to test repeatedly, and feasible to use among people in their 40s”.
So... will walking more help me to age slower?
This study didn’t seek to prove that ― they just found a link, not a cause.
But there’s some research to suggest that exercise can help to prevent the negative side-effects associated with ageing, and lots of evidence that tells us people who exercise more may live longer than those who don’t.
Benefits are seen even among those who pick up their first weight at 70.
The NHS recommends 150 minutes of low-intensity exercise or 75 minutes of higher-intensity exercise a week. -

A man who served 17 years in prison for a rape he did not commit says he was "shaking" when his lawyer told him he had received the first part of a compensation payment.
Andrew Malkinson had his conviction quashed in 2023 after years protesting his innocence, but has waited since then for compensation.
The 59-year-old, who was a security guard working in Salford before his arrest, was wrongly convicted in 2004 and chances to free him were repeatedly missed, leading to one of the worst miscarriages of justice in UK legal history.
Mr Malkinson said he "would hesitate to say that I am grateful... but I am relieved the Ministry of Justice has finally done the right thing to lift me out of limbo with this interim payment."
"No one should have to wait this long to be able to start to rebuild their life, and too many innocent people are being denied compensation altogether."
Mr Malkinson said the £1m cap on compensation payouts for people who have been in jail for more than 10 years should be lifted.
Andy now faces the risk of losing his social housing flat just because he has been awarded this money."
