Edition No98 | 18-02-2025 - After the meeting between Russia and the US, questions but with few answers. QUESTION: Can you take us a little bit in the room today? What was the interaction like? How would you characterize the discussions? MR WITKOFF: It was positive, upbeat, constructive, everybody there to get to the right outcome, solution based. We discussed it afterwards. We couldn’t have imagined a better result after this session. It was very, very solid.

Negotiating an end to a war is easy if your plan is to surrender.

Russia is at its weakest in years. Putin is in a precarious situation. They are attacking western interests around the world and murdering Europeans. Why is Rubio bending a knee and showing weakness?
David Frum @davidfrum
When FDR struck an over-the-heads-of-eastern-Europe deal at Yalta in Feb 1945, Stalin had 300+ divisions in the field vs Nazi Germany. The impending unilateral Trump sellout of Ukraine occurs when Putin is battered and almost broke.
¬ Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63
This looks more like Molotov-Ribbentrop than Yalta. It’s business, dividing up Ukraine for profit. And they will try and may succeed unless Europe acts quickly instead of just talks.

10 Events in 10 months - Advocacy for a Ukrainian victory with Silicon Curtain
https://buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain/extras
Our first live events this year in Lviv and Kyiv were a huge success. Now we need to maintain this momentum, and change the tide towards a Ukrainian victory. The Silicon Curtain Roadshow is an ambitious campaign to run 10 events in 10 months (at a minimum). We may add more venues to the program, depending on the success of the fundraising campaign.

We need to scale up our support for Ukraine, and these events are designed to have a major impact. Your support in making it happen is greatly appreciated. All events will be recorded professionally and published for free on the Silicon Curtain channel. Where possible, we will also live-stream events.
