ADMITTING DEFEAT: Poroshenko calls for peace with Russia

KIEV, Ukraine – The Ukrainian president, Pyotr Poroshenko, said on Tuesday that Ukraine needed peace with Russia.

“Of course we need peace with Russia, a cold peace, but peace. People are tired of the war and Russian propaganda is playing with this painful emotion,” Poroshenko said.

He added that “war and peace will be one of the main issues in the elections, because the population will elect not only the president, but the Supreme Commander.”

The Ukrainian president also emphasized that Kiev will continue to seek a solution to the conflict in the Donbass region by political and diplomatic means.

At the same time, he stressed that only a “war-prepared army can guarantee peace”. In addition, Poroshenko reported that in the next five years, the government’s priority will continue to be the modernization of the Army

"It is also a fact that America is too democratic at home to be autocratic abroad. This limits the use of America's power, especially its capacity for military intimidation. Never before has a populist democracy attained international supremacy. But the pursuit of power is not a goal that commands popular passion, except in conditions of a sudden threat or challenge to the public's sense of domestic well-being. The economic self-denial (that is, defense spending) and the human sacrifice (casualties, even among professional soldiers) required in the effort are uncongenial to democratic instincts. Democracy is inimical to imperial mobilization." —from The Grand Chessboard, Brzezinski 1997

College reinstates Pledge of Allegiance at board meetings…for now

The President of the Santa Barbara City College Board of Trustees has reinstated the Pledge of Allegiance at board meetings following fierce public backlash.

Previously, Robert Miller, the president of the SBCC Board of Trustees, “decided to discontinue use of the Pledge of Allegiance for reasons related to its history and symbolism,” according to an email obtained exclusively by Campus Reform.

"the Pledge of Allegiance will be recited at Board of Trustee meetings until some future date when the matter may be considered by the Board."

However, according to a statement by Miller on Tuesday, he has reversed course on his decision.

“Effective immediately, the Pledge of Allegiance will be recited at Board of Trustee meetings until some future date when the matter may be considered by the Board. This decision, which restores the status quo, follows an appeal for reinstatement from members of the public who raised important issues at the January 24 board meeting,” Miller said in a statement on Facebook.
