My best guess regarding the Ukraine/Russia negotiations is that both sides fully realize there is simply no overlap in the Venn Diagram of what each could accept in terms of conditions and assurances.
None.
However neither can afford to alienate the US by not engaging in the pantomime of looking.

The fact that the thing we're calling artificial intelligence *can't do math* and yet we're jamming it into programs that successfully *have done math* for decades, then warning people against using the AI to do math, seems like an excellent summary of where we are.
Good thing no one uses Microsoft Excel for anything related to legal, regulatory or compliance business functions

I need to start a Quincy Institute version of the New York Times Pitchbot:
"The U.S. Navy just destroyed four Japanese aircraft carriers at Midway. But that won't win the war, and it might lead to escalation by Japan."

Oh damn so this is what it felt like to be a Roman and see the syphilis finally reach your Emperor's brain.
Trump says movies produced outside the U.S. are a national security threat. So he’s imposing a 100% tariff on all movies that are “produced in foreign lands.”

Auto manufacturing employs 4.4 million American workers. Small businesses employ more than 61 million.
This should really be all anyone needs to know. He only cares about giant corporations and the oligarchs that fund him.
Everyone else? Good luck.

"China causes global crisis by withholding rare earth minerals to punish United States in second Cold War" is the plot of Call of Duty: Black Ops 2, which, believe it or not, takes place in the year 2025. Game developers have a better understanding of foreign policy than the White House.

Maybe you should have listened to the political scientists & others pleading for you to pay attention & not spent all of last spring doing the tired bit about how there was no difference at all between the two doddering old men?
