🚨🚨"It is not a peace plan. It is a proposal that weakens Ukraine and divides America from Europe, preparing the way for a larger war in the future. In the meantime, it benefits unnamed Russian and American investors, at the expense of everyone else." Excellent piece by @anneapplebaum.bsky.social:

Ukraine banned from Nato, Russia readmitted to the G8 and territory ceded: what’s in Trump’s draft plan Volodymyr Zelenskyy says he expects to discuss the plan – which was reportedly drafted by Russian and US officials – with Trump

🚨🚨This is no "peace" plan, it is a recipe for further suffering and #Russian imperialist expansion in the #west. It is difficult to appreciate just how much damage the #trump administration has done to #Ukraine and its war efforts. It is disgusting beyond words. 🧵 www.theguardian.com/world/2025/n...

These hypocritical fuckers!!! 💥💥💥

Nicolas Guillou, French ICC judge sanctioned by the US: 'You are effectively blacklisted by much of the world's banking system' Six judges and three prosecutors at the International Criminal Court have been sanctioned by the Trump administration. In an interview with Le Monde, Guillou discusses the impact of these measures on ...

This story should be covered waaaaayy more than it is.

The US has sanctioned six judges if the international criminal court ICC, because Trump didn’t like them issuing arrest warrants for Benjamin Netanyahu and former Minister of Defense Yoav Gallant.

Yes, but it is also a fact now that there is a pattern to it.

As the saying goes, fool me once, shame on you, fool my twice, shame on me. The Europeans should no longer dellude themselves that a Trump/Vance US can be a reliable ally.

Couldn't agree more.

The problem is: I absolutely see a scenario where Europeans, after an acceptable deal, go back into comfort zone and argue that alliances are part of US national interest and Europe is vital to US grand strategy.

This is very dangerous because Europe can't rely on US.

BREAKING: This is huge news, the EU's equivalent of the 🇺🇸Supreme Court's 2015 Obergefell v. Hodges ruling.

🇪🇺Court of Justice just ruled all 🇪🇺countries must recognise same-sex marriages granted in other member states.

This effectively legalises gay marriage across 🇪🇺

Asylum is not illegal migration – why the UK government shouldn’t conflate the two The new proposals transform settlement into something that must be continually earned. The path has become longer, more conditional and far more easily disrupted.

Ukrainian homes burn as Russian missiles hit Kyiv — at least 2 killed, 5 injured in mass attack Several multistory residential buildings caught fire and at least two people have been killed in what the Energy Ministry called "a massive combined attack...on infrastructure facilities."

⚡️Update: At least 2 killed, 7 injured in Russia's mass attack on Kyiv.

New: Boris Johnson’s ‘Brexit Titanic success’ was half right Nearly ten years on, the first full assessment of Brexit confirms what millions warned: Britain made itself poorer

🔥 Rachel Reeves says there’s a “hole” in the public finances.

A new decade-long Brexit study quantifies it:

A 6–8% hit to GDP

That's £180bn-£240bn a year

It means less tax revenue and so less money for everything.

Brexit made Britain MUCH poorer.

NEW: Russian officials and state media continue to set information conditions to reject the US-proposed 28-point peace plan, indicating that the Kremlin is actively conditioning the Russian people to not accept anything less than a full victory in Ukraine. 🧵(1/8)

I do not want my govenrment a party to this 'plan'.

This!

This isn’t a peace plan. It’s appeasement to Russia and harms Ukraine.
Why would the US want to do this?

Follow the money… I’m sure it leads to deals for trump and Witkoff and a closer alliance with Putin.

The Murky Plan That Ensures a Future War Who will benefit from the White House’s 28-point proposal for Ukraine?

Unsurprisingly I think my post reflecting on the peace plan from a couple of days ago started in a similar way. Anne's piece is very much worth reading in full and available here: www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

1/14 The aftermath of Trump’s 28-point “Peace Plan.”

How traitorous incompetence turned this Russian wishlist into a plan, how internal rivalries and amateurism followed, and what it all means for Ukraine🧵

‘Brexit isn’t in the past. It is present in every overstretched council budget, every cancelled infrastructure project, every school without enough teachers, every struggling business wondering how to cope with higher costs and lower demand.’

Rachel Reeves hopes trade deals can save Britain’s budget. Economists aren’t convinced. With a difficult budget looming, the chancellor has increasingly turned her gaze overseas.

Trade folk (including myself) are unconvinced there is much of a growth dividend for Rachel Reeves from agreements with India, EU, and US. Just as there's no evidence of positive impact from independent UK trade policy since 2021. www.politico.eu/article/rach...
