House Votes To Prevent Trump From Circumventing Congress To Sell Weapons To The Saudis
*3 yes votes* Yesterday, the House passed an amendment to the Defense Appropriations Act-- an amendment that Ted Lieu put together with Justin Amash (I-MI), David Cicilline (D-RI), Tom Malinowski (D-NJ) and Eliot Engel (D-NY). The purpose is to block arms sales to Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates through a bogus emergency declaration that Pompeo and Trumpanzee have been cooking up to bypass Congress' authority.

First, because the Royal Navy's Type-45 or Daring-class vessels are far more powerful than the Type-23 destroyer, HMS Montrose, which HMS Duncan is moving to support.

Will Nationalism Poison Ukraine's New President?
*Nicolai N. Petro* *Security, Eurasia* [image: Reuters] Volodymr Zelensky’s election win was a result of Ukraine’s pent-up demand for normalcy with Russia.

Ever since Volodymyr Zelensky’s upset victory in April, Ukrainians have been wondering whether their newly elected president will take new approaches to resolve the conflict with Russia. His thumping victory over Petro Poroshenko, who tried to dismiss all of his opponents as puppets of Russian Vladimir Putin puppets, uncovered a strong, untapp... more »

"We Deny..."
"We deny that we're tired, we deny that we're scared, we deny how badly we want to succeed. And most importantly, we deny that we're in denial. We only see what we want to see and believe what we want to believe, and it works. We lie to ourselves so much that after a while the lies start to seem like the truth. We deny so much that we can't recognize the truth right in front of our faces." - "Dr. Meredith Grey," "Grey's Anatomy"

As Hunt observed in a rare moment of insight during the ITV debates earlier this week, Boris Johnson will make you smile and while yo... more »
