Convicted, legally ousted, but recalcitrant & noncompliant former RS President Milorad Dodik has called #EUFOR Althea, the peace enforcing successor force to #NATO's IFOR/SFOR an "occupation army." He calls on #Russia to cast its veto on renewal in November. This demands a real response. 1/

#N1 had me on their morning show, commenting on #TrumpPutin #Alaska meeting.
Key takeaways:
- This is a meeting of two heads of states, not negotiations on the future of Ukraine;
- Negotiations, if any, will include #Ukraine, #EU, and maybe member states like #Poland or #Czechia.

DPC's blog on yesterday's ugly Oval Office spectacle and the importance of tomorrow's meeting of European leaders, with President Zelenskyy, in London. Europe+ must now be the universal connector of democracies.

Sure, #Trump can rename the #GulfofMexico to the #GulfOfAmerica. Its still gonna be called Gulf of Mexico by most people. English Channel is still #LaManche to many people. Doesn't change anything in practice.
