Multiple people have argued that the original draft was clearly written in Russian - by the Kremlin of course - and then at times poorly translated into English. It is literally Trump doing Putin's bidding - again.

Ok this is big. Sen. Rounds iterates that, per Rubio, Thursday is a deadline to begin negotiations — not a deadline for Ukraine to accept the deal. There is no threat of revoking intelligence sharing or ending arms shipments from the administration, he says.

A very good piece. “The fact that many men believe they no longer even have to pretend to respect women in order to participate in public life makes it unlikely that anything will change anytime soon.”

This analysis from Max Boot is perfect: "The growing threat from Putin’s despotic, expansionist regime calls for Churchillian resolution, unity and strength on the part of the transatlantic alliance. Instead, Neville Chamberlain-style irresolution and confusion reigns—particularly in Washington."
Opinion | Ukraine needs Russia’s frozen $200 billion immediately, Europe
With Trump seeking Kyiv’s capitulation to Russia, now is the moment for decisive European action.

"Look, the Fed can do a lot of things, but what it can't do is lower the price of imports. It can't make it so there are more workers for California farmers to help pick the crops." These are self-inflicted supply shocks, and the Fed can't magically undo them. (The White House can.)

Any one who considers themselves to be part of the pro-democracy movement in the United States needs to be calling their Senators and House Member this week to demand they fight Trump's selling out of Ukraine. We need to be very, very loud this week.
Congress just loudly rebuked Trump on his rancid Epstein cover up.
Now it must rebuke him for attempting to surrender Ukraine to Putin. Let’s work together to deliver a very loud vote of “no confidence” in the days ahead.

Trump just going through Putin's checklist:
- weaken COP, G20, other intl. institutions of US-led global order
- abandon Ukraine and eventually NATO
- tariffs break down US global econ power, trash alliances
- vaporize our soft power - USAID, etc
- disable cyber protections
- promote anti-vax
- weaken COP, G20, other intl. institutions of US-led global order
- abandon Ukraine and eventually NATO

Hi All, just sent out this (mostly free). The Long Con of the Trump administration came to an end yesterday, as it was always going to do. We are back in the Oval Office with Trump and Vance ambushing Zelensky. The whole pivot to Ukraine was a sham to help Putin. open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

Tariffs apply to goods, not services. Zero in on the goods-producing sector, and you'll discover that it's hemorrhaging jobs. Indeed, the start of the trade war marks the peak in that sector, and it's been in recession ever since.
