They are working without expertise. They have no visible system in place to brief or debrief, let alone negotiating instructions that reflect work within agencies, and of course no underlying strategy in the normal sense. (1/2)
Has anybody told the Americans, and notably Trump, that even China 🇨🇳 hasn't recognised the annexation of Crimea whether de jure or even de facto?
⚡️ Ukraine, Europe's ceasefire proposal includes US security guarantees, no recognition of Crimea, Reuters reports.

The document demonstrates the diverging viewpoints of the U.S. on one side, and Ukraine and its European allies on the other.

They know nothing, absolutely nothing, about Ukraine, about the war, about anything. Just asking them to consider what de jure recognition means is, in their world, triggering, a micro-aggression, a violation of their made-up safe space. (2/2)

We are selling the tech that allow Russian and North Korean missiles to hit Kyiv. But Trump won’t give or even sell Zelens’kyi the defensive tech needed to stop them.
🔴 Zelenskyy says the missile that killed 12 in Kyiv had 116 foreign-made parts—most from U.S. firms.

The missile was likely North Korean. He blames weak pressure on Russia and Pyongyang for enabling such attacks.

Reserving judgement until more information comes out, but I’ll say this:

The evidence in this case better be very, very compelling. Arresting *judges* is a slippery slope and not a line that should be crossed arbitrarily.

Trump is so used to people covering for his lies, and no one calling him out on them, that it probably shocked him to have China flat out say this.
China denies any negotiations with the US. The US must drop all tariffs to initiate talks. "Any claims about the progress of China-US trade negotiations are groundless and have no factual basis." Trump claims “They had a meeting this morning, but he won't reveal who 'they' are."

It’s elementary. If only one side is pushing it will get a lot of its way. The only workable remedial action is to make clear to all relevant parties that there are two sides pushing. And act accordingly.

The Republican Senate is to blame for this. Donald Trump wanted only yes men. It was their job to confirm and consent. They knew Hegseth wasn’t up to the job, but put him in charge anyway. They risked our country’s security to please the mad king and should be punished for it at the ballot box.
Hegseth has been a proven failure as a secretary of defense. If the president still refuses to fire him, he should resign.
