Who started the war in Ukraine? U.S. President Donald Trump claimed on Feb. 18 that Ukraine "should have never started" the war.

Brilliant move by our friends at the Kyiv Independent — this is exactly how to handle baseless claims that aren’t even worth a full debunking.

🚨Lebanon for the first time since May 2022 has both a president & full-fledged government.

PM Nawaf Salam’s gov has inherited a mess:
- post-war reconstruction in the south
- bringing security across all borders
- crucial reforms to fix banks, electricity, and economy

ICJ president Nawaf Salam is Lebanon’s new prime minister.

He received the majority of votes, with 84 out of 128 MPs endorsing him over incumbent premier Najib Mikati, who received 9.

Hezbollah’s bloc abstained.

Salam flies in to Beirut from the Hague tomorrow.

Jimmy Carter was the first US president to make human rights a central part of foreign policy, and that was because he listened to Patricia Derian, who pretty much invented US human rights policy.
If he had done nothing else in his life this would still be reason to admire him.

Who was in ousted Syrian President Assad's inner circle and where are they now? After insurgents toppled Syrian President Bashar Assad this month, many senior officials and members of his dreaded intelligence and security services appear to have melted away.

Assad's henchmen and women have disappeared. Where have they gone?

Assad's final hours in Syria: Deception, despair and flight Bashar al-Assad confided in almost no one about his plans to flee Syria as his reign collapsed. Instead, aides, officials and even relatives were deceived or kept in the dark, more than a dozen people with knowledge of the events told Reuters.

“Hours before he escaped for Moscow, Assad assured a meeting of about 30 army and security chiefs at the defence ministry on Saturday that Russian military support was on its way and urged ground forces to hold out.“ Great reporting here.
