France's Marine Le Pen Acquitted in Case Over Violating Hate Speech Laws

The most chaotic negotiations I can remember at a Great Power level - both on the Iran issue and on the Ukraine issue - have now ended in Geneva. The Iranians and the Ukrainians are furious at the way they were conducted - see Zelensky's splenetic interview with Axios - whilst the Russians (as always) maintain a disciplined silence.

I am totally unable to see the signs of 'progress' in either negotiation which some people - eg. Ben Aris, Anatole Lieven, in the case of the Ukraine talks - are seeing. On the contrary, it seems to me that the gulf between the sides if anything is widening.

As the Ukrainians are angrily saying, this was all a show put on for the benefit of Donald Trump, and there was nothing more to it than that.

War with Iran now looks to me all but certain, with Iran rehearsing the closure of the Straits of Hormuz. As for the Russians, they give impression of continuing work on their Spring offensive.

These and other, hopefully more cheerful, things to talk ...

Vladimir Putin Claims Jews Are Tearing Apart Russian Orthodox Church

He says "Ethnic Jews have special animus toward Orthodox Church"
Not just Zionists!? Because listening to alternative Milquetoasts Jews are beyond wonderful, everybody should love them unreservedly, only Zionists (carrying passport of Zion) are bad.
