Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, February 12, 2025. “I’m here today to directly and unambiguously express that stark strategic realities prevent the United States from being the primary guarantor of security in Europe.” “The United States does not believe that NATO membership for Ukraine is a realistic outcome for a negotiated settlement.”

We commit to its independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity in the face of Russia's war of aggression. We share the goal to keep supporting Ukraine until a just, comprehensive and lasting peace is reached. A peace that guarantees the interest of Ukraine and our own. We are looking forward to discussing the way ahead together with our American allies. Our shared objectives should be to put Ukraine in a position of strength. Ukraine and Europe must be part of any negotiations. Ukraine should be provided with strong security guarantees. A just and lasting peace in Ukraine is a necessary condition for a strong transatlantic security. We recall that the security of the European continent is our common responsibility. We are therefore working together to strengthen our collective defense capabilities. --- if anyone needs this in image form:

I have no idea about BTG in this circumstance. But generally, most US soaps begin taping further ahead in November, so that they can take a break of several weeks at Christmas. By February, most US soaps are back to each soap's normal tape-to-airdate gap. For example: Y&R is usually 5-6 weeks ahead (tape-to-airdate) but it can vary 4-8 weeks depending on planning for holiday/vacation breaks.

Wow, that's the lineup I watched as a child, 1969-1970, (on school vacations), daily, especially in the summers: That Girl Bewitched Password AMC (I didn't bother with Let's Make a Deal, Newlywed Game, and Dating Game, although I may have peeked, I thought they were all dumb) GH OLTL (I didn't bother with Love, American Style) But yeah, on school vacations from 1969-1970, my sister and I watched That Girl, Bewitched, AMC, GH, and OLTL. And sometimes Password.

My speculation is that Kristina and Isiah will be written as friends, not lovers. No idea why the show would make them friends, but why not.

omg this story has potential! It's one of the biggest for ramifications. The child born from this will drive story for decades. That's all all say, so you are unspoiled.

I love that so much BTG news is coming that it's hard to keep up with this thread. That's just awesome.
