After four years of war, Russian President Vladimir Putin has achieved a double failure: He hasn’t conquered Ukraine, or even its eastern Donbas region. And his attempts to intimidate Europe through sabotage and subversion have backfired, triggering strong pushback from European leaders.

“Ideally I believe the Boy Scouts should go back to being the Boy Scouts as originally founded, a group that develops boys into men.
