The Massacre of Vassy (French: massacre de Wassy) was the murder of Huguenot worshippers and citizens in an armed action by troops of Francis, Duke of Guise, in Wassy, France, on 1 March 1562.

The massacre is identified as the first major event in the French Wars of Religion. The series of battles that followed concluded in the signing of the Peace of Amboise (or Pacification Treaty of Amboise) the next year, on 19 March 1563.

The events surrounding the Massacre of Vassy were famously depicted in a series of forty engravings published in Geneva seven years later.[1]

OUR FRIEND, JULES LETAMBOUR, REMINDS US OF SILLY REASONS USED BY GOD TO ANNOY THE ANIMALS KNOWN AS SAPIENS. THIS SAD EPISODE OF "WAR OF BELIEFS" TELLS US THAT THERE IS NO VICTORY BUT THE DECISION TO MAKE PEACE. 

THE CIRCONSTANCES IN UKRAINE ARE DIFFERENT, BUT NOT SO MUCH.

Ukraine could have avoided hundreds of thousands of deaths and lost less land if it had reached a peace deal with Russia before the conflict began last February, former US President Donald Trump told NBC News in an interview aired on Sunday.

The loss of Ukrainian territory to Russia is “something that could have been negotiated,” Trump told NBC host Kristen Welker, adding that “a lot of people expected” Kiev to abandon its claims to “Crimea and other parts of the country” in exchange for peace.

“So they could have made a deal where there’s less territory [lost] than Russia has already taken,”Trump continued. “They could have made a deal where nobody was killed…they would have had a Ukrainian country. Now nobody even knows if Ukraine is going to be totally taken over.”

By “other parts of the country,” Trump was likely referring to the Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics, whose sovereignty Russian President Vladimir Putin recognized three days before Russia’s military operation in Ukraine began. Following referendums last September, both regions have now joined the Russian Federation, along with the formerly Ukrainian territories of Kherson and Zaporozhye. Crimea voted to rejoin Russia in 2014.

As long as Ukraine receives Western arms, it will not be defeated by Russia – but neither side will be able to achieve a total victory, the head of the Main Intelligence Directorate (GUR) of the Ukrainian military has said.

In an interview with The Economist released on Sunday, Kirill Budanov dismissed the notion that Western military assistance to Kiev will be forced to a halt.

“Warehouses in the West are not completely empty. No matter what anyone says. We can see this very clearly as an intelligence agency,” Budanov stated.

Unlike Russia, Ukraine relies heavily on foreign support, he acknowledged, while claiming that Moscow’s resources are already dwindling. The Russian economy can only hold out until 2025, while the flow of weapons to the front line will end by the following year, he predicted, calling for aid deliveries to continue.

“We understand we will not end the war with a victory parade in Moscow. But neither should Moscow ever hope to hold one in Kiev,” he said.
