Humanity above politics.
The great powers of the world are no longer governed by those who want the best for their people, but for themselves. Their greed and hunger for power will backfire on them. Then and until then, many will suffer.

The relative lack of outrage at Trump's kidnapping of a child – moreover, a child who's an American citizen – is almost as sickening as the kidnapping itself.

It also means that all other European borders are now negotiable and can be rewritten by conquest. It’s an incentive to Putin to keep going.

People who are trying to say that Trump's deal is not so bad for Ukraine are not grasping the crucial nature of him trying to bully Ukraine into handing legal control of Crimea to Russia. This is the USA rewriting the internationally recognized borders of Europe to suit a dictatorship.

Ukraine did what he asked; Russia did not; and now he will blame Ukraine and cozy up to Russia. This whole peace thing is a distraction from the ongoing war that Ukraine has no choice but to fight because it is being asssulted every day.
Ukraine accepted a ceasefire, Russia did not. This is Trump’s response: “if, for some reason, one of the two parties makes it very difficult, we're just going to say, 'You're foolish, you're fools, you're horrible people' & we're going to just take a pass”
Trump says US will 'pass' on Ukraine peace talks if no progress soon
Trump's comments came hours after US Secretary of State Marco Rubio warned that the US could abandon talks.

I read a lot of court documents, and I like to highlight some from time to time that really encapsulate the moment we find ourselves in. The latest from the 4th Circuit does it perfectly.
