Ukraine-Russia war: We won’t give up Crimea for Nato membership, says Kyiv

Ukraine will not surrender land to Russia in exchange for Nato membership, its foreign minister said, as a US official predicted that President Putin was unlikely to consider calling off his invasion until next year’s American presidential elections.

“We have to continue, we have to keep fighting. Ukraine is not going to back down,” Dmytro Kuleba told Nato foreign ministers in Brussels. He said Kyiv remained committed to recapturing all its land, including Crimea, the Black Sea peninsula that was annexed by the Kremlin almost a decade ago. He expressed frustration at the speed with which western countries were delivering weapons to Ukraine.

US Spends Billions on Overseas Wars, But Who Really Benefits?

Concerns over incentivizing global conflicts are rising as the Biden administration requests more than $105 billion in supplemental security spending.

The administration says the money, primarily for Israel and Ukraine, will be good for the economy.

President Joe Biden has described the mammoth spending package as “a smart investment” that will “pay dividends” to U.S. security interests.

The wrong kind of victims

Why do the West’s ‘pro-Palestine’ supporters refuse to recognise the suffering of the Israeli hostages?

Israeli citizens suffered a double blow on 7 October. First came the brutal Hamas terrorist attack in which 1,200 people were slaughtered and a further 240 taken hostage. Then, within hours, came the dreadful response of far too many in the West.

The streets of Western capitals soon filled not with marches in solidarity with the murdered and abducted, but with ‘pro-Palestine’ celebrations and protests. University campuses and social media were flooded not with support for Jewish people, but with a wave of anti-Semitism.

Busting the Bill Gates myth

Bill Gates has long been held up as the shining example of a “good billionaire”. The story goes that, having amassed an eye-watering fortune with Microsoft in the ‘90s, Gates decided to take a step back from the rat race to take on a new role: that of the selfless philanthropist. Since then, he has — by his own estimation — helped save millions of lives across the world and changed the face of charity forever. A mythology built up around Gates; he became both the richest but also the most generous man on the planet, revolutionising education, public health and agriculture in the developing world.

Almost two months later: UN chief acknowledges Hamas rapes

Nearly two months after the Hamas attack on Israel on October 7, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres acknowledged on Wednesday that Hamas terrorists performed acts of sexual violence against Israelis.

“There are numerous accounts of sexual violence during the abhorrent acts of terror by Hamas on 7 October that must be vigorously investigated and prosecuted,” Guterres wrote on X.

It’s not ‘far right’ to want curbs on immigration

Almost every day brings fresh evidence that immigration is a crisis in the midst of which the government is flailing. Legal migration totals have hit a record high. Provisional figures from the Office for National Statistics show that, in the year ending last June, 672,000 more people came into the country than left it.

This is a staggering rise from a net migration rate of 212,000 a decade ago. If this rate continues, by the year 2046 the UK’s population will increase from approximately 67 million people today to about 85 million. The pressure on housing, schools and health services will be unsustainable. In addition, with so many coming from countries that don’t share cultural values or historic links with the West, the country’s character will be transformed in ways for which the public has never voted.

U.S. indictment alleges multiple Indian assassination plots across North America

A newly unsealed U.S. criminal indictment has unleashed an unprecedented flood of details about an alleged plot connected to the Indian government to carry out multiple assassinations in North America.

Perhaps the most surprising allegation in the murder-for-hire indictment filed in New York state against Indian national Nikhil Gupta is a claim that there were plans to carry out three such killings on Canadian soil.

The indictment, made public Wednesday, accuses Gupta of attempting this year to arrange one killing in New York after receiving instructions from an Indian government employee.

Thank Justin for turning us into a province of Khalistan.

Don Martin: With Trudeau resignation fever rising, a Conservative nightmare appears

With speculation on the rise that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will follow his father’s footsteps in the snow to a pre-election resignation, there was an interesting subplot to a bland news conference Tuesday.

It took four cabinet ministers to deliver a rehashed how-great-they-art list of government accomplishments they insist are responsible for creating a low-debt, affordable, nanny-state, investor-friendly, supercharged economy called Canada, which lives mostly in their imagination.

I call this the “Contractually Obligated Column.”

Henry Kissinger Is Dead at 100; Shaped Nation’s Cold War History

Henry A. Kissinger, the scholar-turned-diplomat who engineered the United States’ opening to China, negotiated its exit from Vietnam, and used cunning, ambition and intellect to remake American power relationships with the Soviet Union at the height of the Cold War, sometimes trampling on democratic values to do so, died on Wednesday, according to a statement that was released by his consulting firm. He was 100.

He died at his home in Connecticut.

Hundreds of pro-Palestinian protesters swarmed the streets surrounding Rockefeller Center Wednesday, clashing with NYPD cops and chanting “river to the sea,” long seen as an antisemetic slogan, in an effort to derail the annual tree lighting in support of Gaza.

Waving Palestinian flags and signs calling for the “end to genocide,” the ralliers gathered along Sixth Avenue alongside hordes of tourists waiting in line to see the iconic ceremony.

Rex Murphy: Trudeau values all opinions — that agree with his

Even minimal self-consciousness and the most fitful memory would have prevented Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, in his most dramatic vocal mode, from making this statement recently:

“People are forgetting a little bit that we’re a country that protects the freedom of expression, that protects liberty of conscience, that respects and supports people even when we disagree with them across various points of view.”
