Donald Trump’s election victory heralds the beginning of the end of the Ukraine war — and is likely to leave Vladimir Putin in control of most, if not all, of the territory he has seized in nearly three years of bloody conflict. To many Ukrainians, such an outcome will be a betrayal of their struggle, a stab in the back by the West that will sow decades of anger and resentment.

Trump is headed to the White House. As I write, that is the consensus of almost all political experts. Trump is set to pick up at least one — and possibly all three — of Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania. It looks likely Trump will win all seven swing states. Cohn also projects a Trump lead in the popular vote. That would be the first time a Republican has won the popular vote since George W. Bush in 2004. There will be many postmortems to come, including from my firm, J.L. Partners.

Donald Trump’s victory this time may not be the surprise that his 2016 win was, but for his critics it’s even more of a shock. Trump has been impeached, arrested, convicted, shot at and relentlessly demonized as a “fascist” over the last four years. None of that was enough to stop him. Just the opposite: Trump is more popular than ever — and appears to have won a national majority of the vote for the first time.

Who has better lawyers: Donald Trump or the Syndicate? The fate of the election, and hence the fate of the country, may well come down to the answer to that question. By “the Syndicate” (what I sometimes call “the Committee”), I of course mean the shadowy board of overseers that controls the Democratic Party and, by extension, the administrative apparatus that governs us. No one knows exactly who sits on this board.

Emmanuel Macron arrived in Morocco on Monday for a three day state visit, during which time he will discuss trade and security.

In September last year, the forty-two-year-old Franco-Moroccan was found guilty by a Paris court of making death threats against the screenwriter and director Kader Aoun. Belattar was given a four-month suspended sentence and he was also ordered to pay damages to an actor.
