A Western Victory Plan for Ukraine - Foreign Policy Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky traveled to Western capitals this month to drum up support for his “victory plan.” The plan’s central planks, which Zelensky outlined to Ukraine’s parliament last week, are simple. Ukraine’s allies should formally invite it to join NATO and provide more weapons to push back the Russian assault. Only then will Russian President Vladimir Putin come to the negotiating table.
Meanwhile, Putin is following his own victory plan. With his forces suffering their highest casualty rates of the war in September, he recently ordered the conscription of 133,000 new servicemembers in the autumn draft starting Oct. 1 and announced a 25 percent increase in defense spending, which will account for a staggering total of 32 percent of the Russia’s 2025 federal budget.

WorkWhy No Real Antiwar Movement Has Developed in Israel - The New Yorker Last week, Israeli forces killed Yahya Sinwar, the leader of Hamas, and the man who orchestrated the October 7th attacks, in which Hamas fighters killed some twelve hundred Israelis. President Biden responded to the news of Sinwars demise by expressing hope that the realization of this particular Israeli war aim would lead to a durable ceasefire in Gaza, where more than forty-two thousand Palestinians have been killed.

WorkDo Israels assassinations work? - The Economist It has become almost an article of faith: assassinations dont matter. For more than a year Israel has been killing leaders of Hamas, a Palestinian Islamist group, and Hizbullah, a Lebanese Shia militia. Each time it does, a chorus of officials and analysts insist that Hamas and Hizbullah will simply regroup and regain their previous strength. Maybe so: Israels history offers ample reason for such scepticism. But there is also good reason to believe that this time may be different. WorkDont Overlook This Sales-Growth Superpower - Inc I recently asked a group of Inc. 5000 CEOs which marketing channels were performing best this year in terms of sales conversion.

WorkElection 2024 live updates: Charlamagne tha God slams CNN Trump coverageRadio personality Charlamagne tha God and CNN's Anderson Cooper had a verbal sparring match about the network's portrayal of Vice President Kamala Harris in comparison to former President Donald Trump. On Thursday, Charlamagne, a Harris supporter, asked why networks, including CNN, refused to cover Trump as a "fascist" while prominently covering the former president's remarks regarding Harris's race. "I feel like I heard more on this network about, 'Is Kamala Harris Black?' than I do about Donald Trump being a fascist," Charlamagne said, garnering "Honestly, that's bulls. I'm sorry" from Cooper. "I think no network has honest conversations about Donald Trump. Nobody has had honest conversations about Donald Trump since 2016," Charlamagne said. "It's always a double standard with Trump, whether it's with Hillary, against Biden, now with Kamala, talk about him being a threat to Democracy. We don't treat him like one." Work

WorkWhy gold that doesnt glitter may be the right choice this Dhanteras - mint As the legend goes, a fortune teller cursed the 16-year-old son of King Hima, saying he would die of a snakebite on the fourth day of his marriage.
