On his flight to Turkey this morning,@Pontifex gave a short speech to reporters, entirely in English. This reflects the reality that English is the lingua franca of the international press. It is nonetheless a big deal for the Vatican.

I don’t care about the “seditious six” when Republicans think this was a peaceful protest. 😬

@Pontifex will give all speeches during his upcoming trip to Turkey and Lebanon in English or French, no Italian. It’s a new world.

The crux of the entire diplomatic situation is that it was Russia, and only Russia, that started this war, and it is Russia, and only Russia, that has been refusing to end it throughout the full-scale invasion. From the very first minutes of February 24, Putin has been waging

BREAKING: After widespread discontent was shared about Donald Trump’s plan to force Ukraine to capitulate to Russia, the Administration is now backtracking and saying this wasn’t their plan. These people are remarkably incompetent and are endangering the free world.

Zelensky: We are facing one of the most dangerous periods in Ukrainian history, a choice between losing our dignity and freedom and losing US support. We choose dignity. My answer is my oath of office. I did not betray Ukraine in Feb 2022 and we won’t betray in now.

President of Lithuania, right now: The proposal to force Ukraine to give up territory and restrict its army is a capitulation. Europe must make it clear to the world that this plan is unacceptable No talks about Ukraine without Ukraine. It’s that simple.

Stop talking about the "US plan". There is no US plan, it's Moscow's plan that was dictated to Witkoff. Nothing in this plan is remotely acceptable.

The Witkoff plan is the worst peace diktatum in history. If this "peace" takes place, Ukraine will have submitted to suicide, creating a perfect spiral straight to World War III.
