While other rail operators wouldn't put a single bogie outside the depot all day because of the snow, the 8 trains I took today were pretty much on time. No need to slide around with a car, too.

Europe followed the US into Afghanistan. Then US voters elected Trump and he pulled the plug.

Europe let the US lead the defence of Ukraine. And now US voters have voted for Trump, who wants Putin to win.

Europe has centered it's security politics around a US led NATO, and American voters have now voted for Trump, who wants to pull out of NATO.

It is time for a stronger, more capable, and fully independent Europe.

For our generation, this is our Churchill moment — it is time to lead.

Sandu wins in Moldova despite 'unprecedented' Russian interference

In a victory for pro-EU factions in Moldova and beyond, incumbent President Maia Sandu defeated her challenger, Alexandr Stoianoglo, in the country's Nov. 3 presidential runoff.

Sandu won on Nov. 3 by a margin of about 54% to 45%, with 99% of votes counted.

"We proved that by uniting we can defeat those who wanted to bring us to our knees," Sandu told reporters in Chisinau in the early hours of Nov. 4.

She wasn't just talking about Stoianoglo. Sandu has long insisted that the real opponent to her government and Moldova's European path is the Kremlin, which has been waging a hybrid war designed to push Chisinau back into Moscow's orbit.
