Trump and Vance act as if the problem is that Ukraine is resisting an ongoing Russian invasion. The problem is the ongoing Russian invasion. If they want to use American power to stop the war, apply it to the aggressor. Abusing the victim is not going to end a war of aggression.

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.

This is very likely a feature and not a bug
Continuing story, how many lives/wrecked bodies went into what Elon called the "wood chipper" when he illegally shut down USAID. Crimes are one thing. But Elon's body count will cry out down through the ages.
U.S.-funded projects worldwide, including those providing lifesaving care for millions of people in countries such as Sudan and South Africa, received termination notices on Thursday sending shockwaves across the global aid community.

“Forget the myths the media's created about the White House. The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand.”
NEW: OPM — the US govt's HR department — is now being run exclusively by Big Tech lackies, mostly from Elon Musk companies. Reporting directly to the chief of staff is a kid who just graduated high school & was recently a camp counsellor before interning at Neuralink.

Elon Musk Lackeys Have Taken Over the Office of Personnel Management
Sources tell WIRED that the OPM’s top layers of management now include individuals linked to xAI, Neuralink, the Boring Company, and Palantir. One expert found the takeover reminiscent of Stalin.

Want to know what a federal funding freeze does? It takes money from families that just lost their home in a wildfire. It takes resources away from vets. It leaves 72M Americans without access to healthcare. Trump, Elon, & their billionaire buddies laugh their way to the bank while Americans suffer.

On Holocaust Remembrance Day, we must recommit ourselves to educating each other about the horrors of the Holocaust — and fight back against authoritarianism.
There isn't "too much focus on past guilt."
There's a blatant attempt to rewrite the atrocities of the past.
