Facing Defeat, Europe Is Doubling Down

German chancellor Merz clear, there will be no face-to-face meeting between Zelenskyy and Russian president Putin.

Analysis: Will Copenhagen meeting move the dial?

While the original motive for today's summit in Copenhagen was to increase defence production, our military analyst suggests there may be something else at the heart of the agenda. Michael Clarke said defence ministers may look at increasing sanctions on Russia and even the issue of their frozen assets.

As blood flows, peace is running farther away .... normal in the stages of a war of attrition. The military and warmongering of politicians do not peace make.

Blah, blah, blah, blah ... do these people fail to realize how ridiculous their words are??

Gaza: Babies starve and doctors watch children die as politicians focus on PR "spectacles" | BMJ - 31 July 2025 |

Doctors and aid workers are watching helplessly as Palestinian children die of starvation and treatable injuries, as the malnutrition crisis in Gaza reaches catastrophic levels.

" I can't stop thinking about this little boy aged one and a half, who we were treating all alone on the floor in Nasser Hospital because his entire family had been killed," Loubani recalled. "As we were dealing with him, I knew that if we were in Canada, this is a boy who would easily be treatable. He needed some blood, he needed some surgery, he needed some aftercare, and yet we just had to sit there and watch him die.

"And so, after we sat there and watched him die, one of the nurses who was working with me picked him up and hugged him. We all cried and walked him to the morgue, where we laid him width-wise on a long metal bed, where he joined about another dozen kids."

"We urgently need aid, not optics"

Ghada Al Haddad, Oxfam's communications officer in Gaza, said that her niece--a child in the conflict zone--was saying that she wanted to die, "because heaven has food." Last week there were reports that Israel had agreed to allow more aid into the strip, with daily pauses in military operations to allow this to happen.5

However, Al Haddad said, "This is a drip feed meant to quiet the public outrage, not to save lives . . . this is not humanitarian relief. This is crisis management.

Shocking to VDL, she is very angry ... a precision strike hit the British "Council" building in Kyiv, a civilian district, and the shock wave led to extensive damage to EU's local war room for security related "diplomacy" ... not for peace.

U.S. President Donald Trump shifted his tone this week, casting doubt on the prospect of a summit between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

Trump's frustration appears to be mounting, warning that "the next two weeks" could be pivotal. If there's no progress towards a peace deal, Trump says he could weigh massive sanctions or massive tariffs or both.
