I know US media finds it inappropriate, but "we haven't even discussed the specifics" of security guarantees gives the game away.
Supposedly pursuing peace for 8 months, and haven't even talked about a key feature? Either total incompetence, or not really after peace, and should be covered as such.

[Q]: You ruled out boots on the ground in Ukraine, but how would air support as part of a security guarantee be any different? Wouldn't those US airmen also be in danger?
Trump: Well, you don't know what security guarantee because we haven't even discussed the specifics of it.

The fall of the Roman Empire took about 250 years, but takes up maybe one page in a high school history book.
It's a reminder that as crazy as things always seem, your entire life will end up traversing barely a third of a page of a history book - if you're lucky.

Everything about this ICE raid is appalling, from its Gestapo tactics to the injuries (and the fatality) that were a direct result. I'm in my 60s. I never thought this would be possible in this country, let alone cheered on by so many. I fear worse days lie ahead.
