The old Russian demand for Ukraine’s capitulation – essentially its destruction – is once again being re-branded as a “new peace plan” allegedly backed by American “security guarantees”. Only a fool with no grasp of even recent history could believe any part of this “plan”.

The US admin again completely misunderstand Ukrainian domestic politics. The corruption scandal does NOT make Ze more likely to take a bad deal; on the contrary, given his weakened domestic standing, Ze is even less likely to accept a deal that would cross the red lines of Ukrainian society.

OMG, has @aiannucci.bsky.social written the script for this Trump administration?
The incompetence is now way beyond "The Thick Of It"

SignalGate was embarrassing enough. Now here comes another as F*ckWit-koff lives up to his nickname by publicly replying, telling us K (Dmitriev) was the source.

The 'peace plan' that is discussed now, reported by Axios, isn't news. It’s just the same old Russian capitulation demand with a fresh coat of paint.

Moscow has been pushing this exact script since the war began. Every six months or so, they change the messenger to make the idea seem fresh.

Trump has been secretly working with Putin to create a stitch-up peace deal which they will try to force on Ukraine.

As for Europe: “We don’t really care,” a senior official told Politico.

Hyundai is the latest company preparing to help Putin.

The South Korean vehicle manufacturer has registered several trademarks in Russia, including its logo.

This allows Hyundai to manufacture and sell cars and parts in the Terrorist State and contribute to war in Ukraine.

After Trump (again) pushes Ukraine to surrender to Russia, and it predictably fails (again), then he tries saving face (again), will media subject us to another round of "changed tone" and "getting tough on Putin" headlines? Was Trump rolling out a literal red carpet for Putin not enough?

A Trump ultimatum to Ukraine that Ukraine couldn't possibly accept—because it's basically just "give Putin what he wants"—seems like the last step before the US bails on the conflict.

An old empty room that used to be part of a flat at Victoria Baths many years ago. 
A tall room with bare bricks on one side with an opening for a fireplace. The fireplace has no surround but decorative tiles remain. 
On the right is a white painted wall with tall stained glass windows. The wooden floor is patchy in places. 
In the corner are two small fold up metal chairs with red leather seats.

Eleventh Circuit throws out Trump's suit against CNN in a per curiam unpublished ruling. Meaning Trump's arguments were totally meritless, not even worthy of a published opinion. s3.documentcloud.org/documents/26...
