Putin has declared an Easter Truce. Nobody should be under any illusions. Trump has said America will walk away if one side is difficult. That side will be Ukraine, who don't wish to be surrendered by Trump. America will cease to help Ukraine militarily. All been obvious since November. Be ready.

This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!

Unsurprisingly “take money from someone else and spend it on me” always very popular with focus groups. There’s precisely no money to have had from immigrant welfare, and I’m unconvinced there’s much to be made from the “rich”, who are normally well enabled to move their money elsewhere.

The depth of ignorance here is utterly terrifying. This man is, to put it bluntly, a fucking moron.
Trump and Putin have found the perfect useful idiot.

It’s clear from this that the only difference between Steve Witkoff’s and Vladmir Putin’s views on the war in Ukraine is that Putin actually knows the names of all the five Ukrainian regions he wants to keep.

The stories within this story are haunting: a woman on a domestic road trip who forgot her passport. A mother who undergoes annual background checks to renew her work authorization, and this year ICE decided she had to do that while in custody. A student who overstayed her visa by three days.
I’m the Canadian who was detained by Ice for two weeks. It felt like I had been kidnapped

I was stuck in a freezing cell without explanation despite eventually having lawyers and media attention. Yet, compared with others, I was lucky

Polish PM Donald Tusk, speaking before his flight to London for the European Ukraine summit:
“500 million Europeans are asking 300 million Americans to defend them against 140 million Russians. [...] Europe today lacks the belief that we are truly a global force.”

Well, I don't think there's much doubt. Trump is a Putin asset and if you have, or hope to have, grandchildren, they are screwed.
