Russia’s position explained:

“We are not interested in negotiations. We want to annihilate Ukraine.

We pretend to negotiate so that Trump/others are fooled into believing we want peace.

We only agree to terms that enable us break the deal later.”
So predictable: Putin’s aide Ushakov says talks in Istanbul should be based on the 2022 proposals and the current “situation on the ground” — meaning Russia keeps occupied land.

The 2022 Istanbul deal was a blueprint for Ukraine’s surrender. Not a basis for peace.

Suppression of climate data built up by decades of hard working scientists dedicated to measuring and understanding planetary health. Removing facilities that measure climate change will not change US exposure to its catastrophic consequences 🔥🌀🌊🌪️
The Trump administration is planning to cancel its lease at a government laboratory in Hawaii, a site where scientists support key observations of surging greenhouse gas levels in the atmosphere, according to a list obtained by Democratic members of Congress and shared with The Post.
Trump moves to close facility that helps track planet-warming pollution
The lab is connected to the Mauna Loa Observatory, where scientists gather data to produce the Keeling Curve, a chart on the daily status of atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations.

Given that the Trump people did nothing to induce Russia to end the war, it’s fair to conclude that the whole idea of pursuing peace was just a pretext to renew relations with Russia.

To the right-wing pundits crowing over Vance's speech: if you are really "less worried" about a dictator-state that's invaded its neighbour, killed tens of thousands of people, reduced cities to rubble & engaged in mass rape and child abduction, than you are about "wokery", then you are truly lost.

The 2018 Syrian chemical attack witnesses who testified in The Hague all told us they were FORCED to lie by Russian officers.

They showed us PROOF they were flown to Moscow and forced to write statements saying the attack never happened.

Since day 1 of the invasion, Russia has struck Ukraine with nuclear-capable missiles like Iskander, Kinzhal, and Kh-101/102. Another ballistic missile launch is no different, just more blatant nuclear blackmail

If Russia doesn’t like strikes inside of Russia, it can simply leave
