Russia has entered the war to provide intel on US forces in the region. Trump refuses to rebuke dear leader.

US and China playing the role of UK and Russia post Vienna. France and Germany remain the same. Russia is Austria Hungary.

If we look European diplomacy post Vienna 1815 - balance of power? Consensus of power? It may help us understand present day geopolitics. Two powers in USA and China. UK France Germany powers really in name only. Russia a power because others allow it to be viewed that way still.

Ukraine can help Gulf States and US defend against Iranian drones. Russia is struggling and even losing territorial gains in Ukraine. Russia benefits from high oil prices Asian energy markets struggle. Region is destabilising. Geopolitical nightmare for an administration of idiots in DC.

Years ago our admin did a red and black report. It took salaries & how much $ each instructor made in tuition $ for classes we taught-you were in the red or black. They released numbers once & shut it down bc humanities were producing huge $ for uni & engineers, business and scientists were losing $

From US admin official background briefing recording listening to, seriously question if US negotiators understood what Iranians were proposing. One official keeps saying acronym for β€œIAEA” wrong.
They seem astonished Iran would not agree to the US supplying them nuclear fuel

Am not saying what Iran proposed would have been enough, I dont know, but it seems US negotiators did not have the expert guidance to understand it correctly

On top of all the reporting that this war of aggression was planned well in advance, it seems that the reporting also indicates that the US political leadership are quite literally too stupid to understand basic diplomacy. I mean literally not smart enough.

We still need to get from a situation where Russia pretends to negotiate to a situation where they need to negotiate.

The US is working with neo-fascist, neo-imperialist Russia against the world order. Ukraine’s borders are the internationally recognised 1991 borders.

No matter how long I live after we get through this dark chapter, I will never get over the immorality, the amorality, the corruption, the criminality and the cruelty in service to one of the worst humans to ever walk the earth.

They are aware that Russians quite literally wrote the capitulation document that some people in the White House and sadly many people in the media refer to as a peace plan.

Trump pressures Ukraine to accept peace deal: Early analysis from Chatham House experts Chatham House analysts give their initial analysis after Zelenskyy was pressured by Trump to accept a White House plan to end the war with Russia.

'There is no peace process. This is not negotiations over peace: it is the transmission of surrender demands from Russia with the active facilitation of the United States.'

It is not normal for a U.S. envoy to coach the Kremlin on how to influence an American president, especially in a way that undercuts Ukrainian and American national interests. As I told @NPR's Morning Edition.

Navalny compares Ukraine to Afghanistan. Putin, much like the late Soviet gerontocracy needed a distraction from real problems and to refocus β€˜toward imperial hysteria’.

The war against Ukraine began 2014 with the illegal seizure of Crimea. It could end today with the complete Russian withdrawal and justice for war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide carried out against Ukraine

I hope Ukraine tells the American pedo president to stuff it. I hope Europe supports him.

Holy crap. This is most likely a real reaction to Trump driven threats.

It is also evidence that MAGA is entering a civil war and that the GOP has officially been driven into a ditch a year ahead of midterms that could end Trump 2.0 on Day 1 of the 120th Congress.
