After a year in which both countries seemed on the very brink of succumbing to Russia's hybrid war, Romania will end 2025 with a pro-EU president who holds a math PhD from the Sorbonne and won the International Math Olympiad twice, both times with a perfect score.

Meanwhile, Moldova, led by a formidable woman with a master's degree from Harvard and former adviser to the World Bank Executive Director, has finally truly broken free of Russian influence after more than three decades.

All in all, somewhat unexpectedly, not a bad year for Romanians I'd say.

This map shows Russian advances (areas in scarlet red) in Ukraine in 2025. They represent less than 1% of Ukraine’s total land area. To gain this land, Russia expended ~420,000 in total losses, including more than 100,000 KIA.

According to MAGA logic, since Trump was convicted on 34 counts of felony fraud he must be Somali

There's nothing wrong with piling on more reported evidence of Trump's hatred of Ukraine and his allegiance to Russia and Putin. But don't pretend it's anything new or leads to conclusions we didn't already reach based on his public statements and actions.

“So as long as Trump remains a paralyzing force in U.S. foreign policy — effectively destroying it — this creates a window of opportunity for Putin.”

I'm confused how this isn't the biggest story in the world right now. Trump has launched a regime change war in Venezuela. He and @marcorubio are lying and pretending its about fentanyl, but it's really about oil. We've seen this movie before and it ends badly.

Zelensky’s background in entertainment may have prepared him for handling the theater of Trump’s intervention in the war. He has the discipline of the actor pretending to believe a script that he knows to be false.

Yes, he has on occasion “broken character,” as he did famously in that White House showdown, and let his frustrations show. But he has now perfected the script. He wants to keep Trump talking, which means he must pretend to take him seriously. He figured out a long time ago that for Trump the main thing is the media appearance. It’s the show. And the TV platform where Trump gets to be on center stage. The former comedian meets the former TV reality show star.

Meanwhile Zelensky makes demands of his own against Trump and Putin which cleverly puts the onus for failure on them. This, to the contrary, shows a diplomatic skill one would not expect of a mere former comedian. It is truly masterful in such a situation where he supposedly has so few “cards.”

This man has fundamentally been transformed by the experiences of the war. If he succeeds, historians will study it for centuries.
