On @euronews.com I pointed out that Putin has never hidden his goal: for Russia to subdue and annex Ukraine.

The only real question now is how far the US is willing to go in helping him get there.

This is the kind of @dublincityuni.bsky.social PhD graduation photograph you get when your topic is about three centuries of the impact and significance of the puppet theatre in Ireland!
Thanks to Brid Horan and @dairekeogh.bsky.social for humouring me and to Kyran O'Brien for capturing the moment.
