*[Australian] Greens urge Labor to reject international carbon offsets as "accounting tricks."*

European countries have given the US and Iran a "take-it-or-leave-it" final text for the non-nuclear deal.

Chronicling the corrupter's campaign to reduce US military leaders to give their loyalty to him personally, rather than to the United States.

When the corrupter demanded a military parade in Washington DC, General Selva (who grew up in Portugal under the rule of a dictator) told him, "That's what dictators do." Alas, I doubt that convinced the would-be autocrat the parade was a bad idea.

Ukraine has fought the Putin forces to a standstill. Some American progressives want to stop the fighting before Ukraine can retake any of the conquered provinces.

The article speaks of using diplomacy to make Putin return captured territory, but it would never work. Putin is doing very well at standing up to western diplomatic pressure and sanctions.
