Classic KGB Cold War tactics. Putin feeds Trump his Ukraine peace plan through the back channels, it becomes the Trump 28 point peace plan & gets it officially sent back to him. Let's it be known he disagrees on a few things but ultimately it favours Russia. www.themoscowtimes.com/2025/11/21/t...
Trump’s Peace Plan Favors Russia. Putin Still Won’t Accept It. - The Moscow Times

It’s clear to anyone paying attention that the actions of the LNP reveal exactly where they stand, particularly on climate change. They consistently serve the interests of figures like Stokes and VaGina, showing little concern for anything else.

David, you don't need to buy but can order from library my book, "Your name is not Anxious". If reading hard - I wrote it for those times we feel flooded - there's also an audio edition. I brought decades of personal & clinical care to it. Things can be at least steadier. Warmest thoughts with you.
