Economic pressure has been severe but oil revenue still flows to Mr. Putin delivering a massive cash flow that floats this war.

"The murder of @charliekirk11 is not only an odious crime. It is also a disaster for American politics. Of all the people offering leadership to today's young conservatives he seemed to me by far the most thoughtful. When we met in May his humanity and integrity impressed me very much. I am fearful of where this kind of political violence is leading us"

"With the passage of two and a half decades it is startling just how unambiguous bin Laden was about his religious motive. Under no circumstances he declared should we forget this enmity between us and the infidels. For the enmity is based on creed. . . . It is a question of faith not a war against terrorism. 1/8"

"Say what you like about our national security agencies they won the war on terror. Yet nonviolent radicalization (what Islam calls dawa as opposed to violent jihad) has advanced significantly everywhere in the Western world wherever there are Muslim communities.

"Agreed. Two things that help keep me more or less sane in this insane world are great literature (yes all of Dickens and then Scott Stendhal Fontane Tolstoy .) and great music (Bruckner Mahler Schubert Tchaikovsky .). Culturally I am a refugee from the 19th century. A great life hack. Dont stop reading literature just because you graduated college. I am reading David Copperfield by Dickens which aficionados tell me is not even the best book.

"Good report of my conversation with General Keith Kellogg at @yes_ukraine on Friday. I asked Kellogg whether it was fair to infer that President Trump was losing patience with President Putin. . Kellogg replied deftly: 'One thing I would advise if I was to advise anybody on working with President Trump: Do not put him in a position that he thinks he's being used. 'I think what he's seeing now is somebody who's been kind of playing a game with him. . Kellogg also suggested that after three-and-a-half years of war Russia did not have the upper hand. 'Russia is in fact losing this war' he said."
