Trump got played by Putin. Again. He accepted Putinโ€™s position on Ukraine as his own. Ukraine and Europe are now alone, needing to increase pressure on Russia and supporting its fight on the battlefield.
Itโ€™s a terrible day for peace, security, and transatlantic relations.

For all Trumpโ€™s talk that his meeting with Putin was โ€œa 10โ€, made โ€œgreat progressโ€ and was โ€œsuccessful,โ€ Putin didnโ€™t budge an inch. His demandsโ€”an end to Ukraineโ€™s sovereignty and rolling back NATOโ€™s eastward enlargementโ€”remain unchanged. To maintain otherwise is delusional.

US blocks G7 push to tighten Russian oil price cap, Financial Times reports The proposal was dropped after U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent reportedly declined to support it.

"The US opposed a joint G7 effort to lower the $60-per-barrel price cap on Russian oil exports during last week's meeting of finance ministersโ€ฆ
The mechanism was designed to limit the Kremlin's ability to finance its war against Ukraine."

Letโ€™s not forget: the economies of #russia and #Canada are roughly the same size โ€” which is 8% of the US economy.

Ukraine to Europe โ€“ are you ready to fight tonight? โ€œPeace agreed upon,โ€ declared The Washington Times on September 28, 1938. By now, we should have learned: deals with predator states bent on conquest โ€“ whether Nazi Germany then or Russia today โ€“ donโ€™...

โ€œpoliticians must be honest with their voters: either we mobilize the necessary support for Ukraine to win, or we will have to mobilize you โ€“ the citizens of Germany, France, the UK, Italy, Spain, and beyond โ€“ for military service in the years to come.โ€

This is Nicole, 5 years old, her dad Oleksandr and her mom. Nicole and Oleksandr were killed by Russia last night in Kyiv. The mom is in the hospital.

The family moved to Kyiv from Orikhiv, Zaporizhzhia region, near the frontline.

Deepest condolences.

The aftermath of the Russian attack on Odesa last night.

A post office, private homes, civilian, energy and port objects were damaged.

This is Russia's "readiness for peace."

The value of the 1700+ nuclear weapons Ukraine gave away in 1994 was $2 trillion. Under the USSR, these weapons were aimed at the US. During negotiations, Ukraine offered to give them to America. Instead the US insisted they go to russia. We agreed because we trusted their promise to protect us.

How could a parent expose their kids this way? I understand the noise is confusing. But it is still incomprehensible considering the risks.
