This is not a peace plan. It is a proposal that weakens Ukraine and divides America from Europe, preparing the way for a larger war in the future. In the meantime, it benefits unnamed Russian and American investors, at the expense of everyone else.

If you read one thing today, this weekend, or this month, let it be this essay by @edwardluce.bsky.social. It starkly depicts where we are in America, how and why those who have power in America have yet to effectively stand up to Trump and why they must start. Superb job by Ed.
"Such is their fear of jail, bankruptcy or reprisal, that most people I spoke to insisted on anonymity. This was in spite of the fact that many of the same people said Trump would only be restrained by powerful voices standing up to him." My Weekend FT essay. Please read it. on.ft.com/4hqblpr

if you took a dementia test and thought it was an IQ test you failed both the dementia test and the IQ test
Trump: "AOC -- look. I think she's very nice. But she's very low IQ, and we really don't need low IQ. Between her and Crockett, we're gonna give 'em both an IQ test to see who comes out best. I took a real test at Walter Reed medical center and I aced it. Now it's time for them to take a test."

Novavax has been around for several years , it’s got an excellent safety/effectiveness profile, and it seems to cause fewer side effects, notably in many people with chronic conditions who have extreme responses to the mRNA vax. It’s also the only alternative for anyone allergic to mRNAs.
This doesn't bode well for the US having covid booster shots this fall, if the FDA is going to essentially require large trials for booster shots. They are clearly going to try and compromise every vaccine they can either through bureaucracy or misinformation. Sad!

If your plan is to keep your head down and hope it goes away, I can show you all of human history why it won’t work.
If it’s to capitulate and hope they ignore you, I can show you thousands of Trumpers who’ve already lost their jobs & savings.
