The deeper problem isn’t just misinformation, its the collapse of shared verification environments and the rise of influencer-led moral-epistemic systems that feel more authentic than institutions.

The plan says that "A dialogue will be held between Russia and NATO, mediated by the United States." This implies that both Russia and the Trump administration don't see the US as part of NATO in any real sense. That should deeply alarm every other NATO state.

Eg forventar at regjeringane i Norge, EU, rest-NATO og dei andre demokratia som er att i FN står fast på at Ukraina skal sleppe å godta desse overgjevingsvilkåra.
No lyt vi alle vera realistar, og røynda er at USA heldt opp å vera alliert med oss i januar.

We have a US administration trying to bully Ukrainians into accepting Russia’s proposal that their sovereignty be undone. Aside from the naked injustice of this, there are five basic practical reasons why it would make the world far more dangerous.

We’re watching a shift where AI simulates the cohesion and reinforcement that used to require an entire online community. A single person can now build a complete parallel reality with nothing more than a prompt window. Which seems bad.

Putin Will Never Compromise on Ukraine
Russia’s president is too committed to his own fantasies to ever accept Ukraine’s independence.

I was right. The question took Trump and MBS by surprise.
The reporter was Mary K. Bruce of ABC News.
She also asked about the murder Jamal Khashoggi.
Good for her and ABC News. It’s refreshing and rare to see actual journalism in the Trump White House.

Jeg vet at det har vært en fotballkamp og greier, men jeg tror jeg likevel synes NRK burde ha klart å finne plass på forsiden og i Dagsrevyen for det som med en viss grad av troverdighet ser ut som et russisk angrep på et NATO-land.
The railway Warsaw - Lublin has been attacked with both explosives and sabotage.
"unprecedented act of sabotage targeting directly the security of the Polish state and its civilians. This route is also crucially important for delivering aid to Ukraine" says Polish PM Donald Tusk.

But this is clear cut. Russia is terror bombing civilians on the 4th (12th) year.
