The peace plan presented by the U.S. to Ukraine reflected inexperienced, unrealistic handling of a delicate situation that calls for attention to detail and coordination with allies, according to a former U.S. ambassador.
Peace plan presented by the US to Ukraine reflects inexperienced, unrealistic handling of a delicate situation
In a war that’s lasted almost four years, a former diplomat says it’s not realistic to say, ‘In the next week, come up with a very complicated peace deal, sign off on it and it’s going to stick.’

Machiavelli: It is better to be feared than loved, but you must absolutely avoid being *hated.*

So many forget that last part.
It is a bit alarming, when rereading Machiavelli's The Prince, that it lands as reportage rather than political theory. However, I find great comfort in the fact that they are really effing it up.

Trump’s healthcare plan has been “two weeks away” for so long it technically qualifies as a pre-existing condition.

A federal judge just shut down the IRS–ICE pipeline.
47,000 names were already sent. Millions were next.

This wasn’t enforcement. It was a test to see how far private data could be pushed into surveillance.

The appeal is coming. And systems like this never stop at one group.

What happens if Ukraine’s allies push territorial concessions before russia ceases fire?

Moscow escalates. Peace becomes unreachable. And the West will have sleepwalked into WWIII through a toxic blend of stupidity, historical amnesia, and a staggering lack of leadership.

ICE deported a woman who owned a home in the US for 30 years. A judge banned ICE from deporting her to Sierra Leone where she had been tortured, so it deported her to Ghana, which kidnapped her and sent her back Sierra Leone anyway. ICE is part of this illegal conspiracy.

Another Thanksgiving talking point:

Jessica Craven's interview with Sen Gary Peters sent chills down my spine.

When this was happening, I was astounded, but with the barrage of bullsht coming out of this administration, I actually put this out of my mind.

But it should scare everyone.

Busting up big corporations and tackling Wall Street’s greed.

Getting big money out of politics.

Strengthening unions and fighting for higher wages.

Medicare for all, paid family leave, universal childcare...

This is the progressive populist agenda we need in America.

Dear foreign tourists,
Don’t come to the U.S. right now. We’re not fit for company. If you do come, wear makeup that makes you look very white. Otherwise, federal thugs may smash the windows of your rental car or tear-gas you. Or worse. Better stay away and see whether we defeat the fascists.
