Opinion Alexei Navalny: This is what a post-Putin Russia should look like By Alexei Navalny September 30, 2022 at 8:00 a.m. EDT https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2022/09/30/alexei-navalny-parliamentary-republic-russia-ukraine/ Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny is serving a nine-year sentence in a maximum-security penal colony. This essay was conveyed to The Post by his legal team. What does a desirable and realistic end to the criminal war unleashed by Vladimir Putin against Ukraine look like? If we examine the primary things said by Western leaders on this score, the bottom line remains: Russia (Putin) must not win this war. Ukraine must remain an independent democratic state capable of defending itself. This is correct, but it is a tactic. The strategy should be to ensure that Russia and its government naturally, without coercion, do not want to start wars and do not find them attractive. This is undoubtedly possible. Right now the urge for aggression is coming from...

https://hackston.substack.com/p/american-men-are-in-crisis The Truth American men are in crisis Across education, marriage and employment, American men are struggling Liam Hackston Oct 13, 2021 Ten reasons why men think they are single - study | UK News | Sky News This is an unusual story for this newsletter. We normally cover strictly political stories, but not today. Today, we need to look at the way that men in America are struggling in ways that are interlinked, and how at the federal level, we can make life better for men without taking anything away from women. This starts at the education level. While college enrollment has decreased in full by 1.5 million over the last five years, 70% of that fall have been men. That means that just over 1 million men that would be going to college are no longer. In 1970, 57% of college students were men. Now, I’m not saying that that is good. I’d want that number to be less, to make it more equitable. However, that number is now only 40%. I...

https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2022/09/trump-pennsylvania-rally-republicans/671344/ Biden Laid the Trap. Trump Walked Into It. At his Pennsylvania rally, the former president gave exactly the narcissistic display his Democratic nemesis tried to provoke. By David Frum A black-and-white image of Donald Trump silhouetted in front of a draped American flag Andrew Kelly / Reuters September 4, 2022, 2:36 PM ET About the author: David Frum is a staff writer at The Atlantic. In 2016, Hillary Clinton warned that Donald Trump was a fool who could be baited with a tweet. This past Thursday night, in Philadelphia, Joe Biden upped the ante by asking, in effect: What idiot thing might the former president do if baited with a whole speech? On Saturday night, the world got its answer. For the 2022 election cycle, smart Republicans had a clear and simple plan: Don’t let the election be about Trump. Make it about gas prices, or crime, or the border, or race, or sex education, or anything—...

Opinion The non-polarizing speech President Biden should have given https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2022/09/02/democracy-speech-biden-should-have-given/ By Alexandra Petri My fellow Americans. I am the president of the United States ... maybe! To those of you who believe that although we have differences, we are still one nation, and to those of you who believe that I am spearheading a complicated, Satan-driven, child-snatching conspiracy with very detailed logistics that I can’t say I fully comprehend, I wish you equally a great Thursday! I am not here to give anybody a hard time. To those of you who say that violence is never the answer, and to those of you who say that violence is the answer right now, I say, Yup! This is a nation, after all, that honors the Constitution. Or doesn’t, if it doesn’t feel like it! Who am I to say who’s wrong and who is right? Maybe the president, but maybe just some guy! There is an election coming up. I think, and a lot of Americans do t...
