Ukraine / Russia: spirals of repression….Israel, forget outside pressure?....a climate pact of sorts.…elections round the corner….and Singapore cartoonist Heng has Zelensky begging for coins.
It was horrifying … but as I have been chronicling terrorism and wars back to Cambodia in 1974, I am sadly unsurprised and have found that an eye for an eye never works. I am reminded of my dear friend French president Francois Mitterrand who put an end to a string of deadly bombings in the 1980s in Paris (2 of them on each side of the buildings housing our CBS News bureau!) using diplomacy rather than more military bloodshed!
I hadn't heard about the shutting of water access in the Jordan Valley. That's one more obstacle to a peaceful resolution of the overriding conflict for land and stable relations in Palestine/Israel.
The film that David saw must have been too horrifying to describe.

I am really astonished that Depardieu has not come under criminal investigation sooner.
