  • Trump’s Putin Relapse – 21aug25

    George Rebane The ongoing situation in Ukraine is totally asymmetrical – Russia intensifies its bombing and battlefield assaults while the West jawbones and regurgitates threats that don’t materialize.  Meanwhile Trump is basking in the revised and reconstructed interpretation of the disastrous Anchorage outcome – talk about lipstick on a pig.  He now believes his own…

  • Putin’s Broken Promises

    George Rebane As President Trump meets with Ukraine’s Zelinsky and select NATO leaders at the White House to discuss a strategic response to Putin’s peace treaty demands, it is good to review what the Russian thug has in mind as supported by overwhelming evidence (see below) of his behavior on the world scene.  The main…

  • Putin – 1, Trump – 0 (updated 16aug25)

    "Peace in our time!"  Prime Minister Neville Chamberlin, 1938 George Rebane Well hell, President Trump did not pull that one off in Anchorage.  With all the talking heads on Fox doing their best to put a good face on it, there’s no denying that Trump got nothing out of this abbreviated summit that he previewed…

  • Donbas et al – Sudetenland Quietly Ignored

    [This commentary was also published in the 15aug25 edition of The Union (here)] George Rebane As President Trump prepares to welcome Putin to Alaska, where he won’t be arrested, the meeting draws much attention and has little chance of producing anything useful because President Zelinsky of Ukraine remains uninvited.  All anticipatory reports of the coming…

  • Report from Moscow

    [This is the first of which I hope will be several reports from Barry Pruett in Russia.  Barry is a friend and a longtime reader of RR.  We all wish him safe travels in a very harsh part of the world.  gjr] Barry Pruett Well, it seems that Trump and Putin are going to meet…

  • Scattershots – 28jul25 (updated 1aug25)

    George Rebane People don’t like the BBB that’s now law.  Latest WSJ poll shows 42% support, 52% oppose the law. “At least half of poll respondents said the legislation would harm poor people, the working class, Social Security beneficiaries, the US economy, Medicaid recipients nutrition-assistance recipients and the federal budget deficit.”  Every one of these…

  • ‘More UN climate nonsense’ (updated 24jul25)

    George Rebane James Freeman in the 23jul25 WSJ writes a telling article on the intended confusion that surrounds ‘sustainable energy’ costs – i.e. the comparison of wind, solar, and hydro to fossil fuels.  The latest pile of steaming bullshit was regurgitated by UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres in an AP interview as reported here.  I am going to…

  • ‘More UN climate nonsense’ (updated 3aug25)

  • Scattershots – 16jul25 (updated 22jul25)

    George Rebane Trump almost gets it with Putin.  There is no need for Trump’s 50-day grace period for the thug’s decision to come to the table.  Five days would have been more than enough for Putin to tell the world how he wants to continue his war with Ukraine.  But at least our president is…

  • More Revelatory Bullshit from the Left

    George Rebane Propaganda Broadcasting System (you know, the unbiased one) in its 9jul25 News Hour had an interview with the new DNC chairman Ken Martin.  The entire interview is available here. Among the usual nauseating Democrat lies, this time about the BBB, that this interview again laid on their viewers (no real new revelations there),…
