Escalation management going well...

Could be that there are a lot of links to the Twitter stuff? And now those links are dead.

If anyone believes that the russians wouldn't immediately move troops into any area the Ukrainian army leaves, I have a bridge to sell.

The ones they got for giving their nuclear weapons, long range missiles and strategic bombers to russia, no less...

The way he has been saying "We are selling weapons to NATO, and they give them to Ukraine. It's a great deal for us." has made that abundantly clear, if the invasion threats against Canada and Denmark didn't give it away already.

More likely to be the whole point, plus his delusions about getting the Nobel Peace Prize.

Well, in the trump regime, facts are just another opinion, so maybe they have to spell it out? 🤣

It's quite telling that several of the points are about making Ukraine unable to defend itself from attack.

To be fair, they really should be worried about that. If Ukraine had had nukes, I very much doubt russia would have invaded.

If he thinks it's so terrible to get loads of EU money, maybe he should do a Huxit?

No ejection. =(

So hard on russia, allowing the EU countries to buy weapons that they can give to Ukraine...

That's a very tasty nothing-burger, then. He could determine to help Ukraine with armed force now, after consultation with Ukraine. International law makes it perfectly clear that any country is allowed to help another country defend itself from attack.

I've certainly stopped buying stuff from the UK. The customs fees and such are just too much of a hassle.

Ukraine has stated over and over that they'd be happy to have an immediate and unconditional ceasefire.

The fact that russia doesn't want to stop the killing even when presented with this absurdly generous "deal", that gives them everything they have asked for, tells you everything you need to know

The fact that russia isn't jumping all over this "deal" tells you everything you need to know about their willingness for peace.

It's not a negotiation. It's trump desperate for a Nobel Peace Prize, and also desperate to suck out as much money as possible. And since he can't actually understand what it takes to get a Peace Prize, he just does it the same way he usually does when sucking out money.

Do they mean the freedom of speech for the US president to call for firing people for speaking?

At a guess, he had from the moment trump realized he could no longer keep the Epstein files away from the public.

But it is backed by trump, and his deals are... Oh, right.

Obvious attempt to smear Umerov, and/or the Ukrainian government in general. "Look how corrupt they are! They don't want any investigation into the aid they have received!"

Sounds like a smear campaign against Umerov, more than anything else. "Oh look how corrupt the Ukrainians are! Clearly they should be grateful for any kind of deal at all!"

Yeah, Ukraine just needs to give up more territory than Russia has managed to take over the last year, and then they really promise there will be a ceasefire.

This is a non-starter on every level.

Of course not, they just need to stall trump for two weeks, until he has forgotten this and committed some new outrage.

So, in two weeks?

trump didn't want someone who could challenge his presidency.

How strange...

Imma move my family there, to get away from all the wokeness!

Also, Rubio will have to uninstall that pesky alarm system. He's not going to need it anyway, right? Because you promised to not break in again. And he won't be allowed to call the police in the future.

This is the country that thought it would be a good idea to have the water pipes on the outside of their houses though. I wouldn't take minor details like physical stability for granted.
