The only people who could force him out would be Barack Obama, Bill Clinton, Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer,' one Democratic strategist told the Mail. 'It would have to be the four of them collectively.' |

1995 reverse Paris Accord where Japan, Germany buy US treasuries while Fed keeps short-term interest rates down to spur domestic consumption and imports, partly in response to Mexican NAFTA crash and Japan's weak economy after the Kobe earthquake. |

No sooner had the first so-called “peace summit” in Switzerland ended than Ukraine had already planned a second one, with the participation of Russia. This was stated by Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmitry Kuleba, Top War reports.
The first conference in Switzerland, organized by Kiev, was called a “failure.” As some Western experts note, Zelensky failed to win over the countries of the global South, after which the significance of the summit sharply decreased. In essence, it was a Western get-together where the problems of Ukraine were discussed, and not the end of the conflict. Now Kyiv wants to convene a second conference and invite Russia there to try to push Zelensky’s “peace formula” in.
"The idea is that the next summit will be the end of the war. And, of course, we need the other side at the negotiating table. It's obvious that it takes both sides to end the war," Kuleba said, adding that Ukraine’s position coincides with the position of the West and does not provide for the compromises that Kyiv called on the countries of the global South.
At the same time, Switzerland has not ruled out that a new “peace summit” will be held before November of this year, since then the presidential elections in the United States will begin and everyone will have no time for Zelensky. This was stated by Swiss Foreign Minister Ignazio Cassis, adding that he sees no problems with Vladimir Putin’s participation in the conference, despite the order of the International Criminal Court (ICC).
Meanwhile, many experts doubt that Russia will go to Switzerland, since this country is no longer neutral. Most likely, one of the Middle East countries will be chosen for a possible conference on Ukraine. In addition, Moscow has already outlined its conditions and does not intend to deviate from them.

Sounds like Biden needs a "peace" summit before the election. |

The decision to strike deeper into Russia and force their ground forces to extend further into Western Ukraine isn't going according to plan. Russia realizes the trap of getting involved in a situation with urban warfare spread over a large area with a hostile civilian population. Much of its infrastructure will be damaged instead. |

In English-language statement, PM confirms reports he demanded Biden administration remove barriers to flow of munitions, argues it will help bring end to war
By LAZAR BERMAN and JACOB MAGID
Today, 5:58 pm
Following reports that US Secretary of State Antony Blinken promised Benjamin Netanyahu that Washington would remove all restrictions on weapons transfers to Israel in the coming days, the prime minister went on the record Tuesday to assert that the top American diplomat had given him assurances to that effect.
“When Secretary Blinken was recently here in Israel, we had a candid conversation. I said I deeply appreciated the support the US has given Israel from the beginning of the war,” Netanyahu said in an English-language video.
“But I also said something else, I said it’s inconceivable that in the past few months, the administration has been withholding weapons and ammunitions to Israel,” he added. “Israel, America’s closest ally, fighting for its life, fighting against Iran and our other common enemies.”
“Secretary Blinken assured me that the administration is working day and night to remove these bottlenecks,” Netanyahu continued. “I certainly hope that’s the case. It should be the case. During World War II, Churchill told the US – give us the tools, we’ll do the job. And I say, give us the tools and we’ll finish the job much faster.”
Blinken was asked to confirm Netanyahu’s account of their meeting during a press conference in Washington later Tuesday. The top US diplomat indicated that the Israeli premier was exaggerating the step taken by the US, insisting that only one shipment has been withheld.
“We are continuing to review one shipment that President [Joe] Biden has talked about with regard to 2000-pound bombs because of our concerns about their use in a densely populated area like Rafah. That remains under review,” Blinken said.
