Everyone knows that the current peace plan is complete nonsense.
The Russians have obviously sold the US administration a plan that they put together in order to get the most out of it so that they can continue to play for time. They are constantly playing for time.

Much of the US press is not "even acknowledging that they have a role in saving democracy, much less doing anything about it."

Low points from the New York Times, the BBC, the Washington Post and the New Yorker. And some highs.

Not in 🇨🇦Alberta. Apparently our Provincial Government believes all forms of green energy is unsightly. We prefer transmission lines that come from O&G power plants only. But, we apparently love and want new coal mines. Our Clown Prov Gov’t is soooo progressive (and MAGA and CONservative)

Unfortunately, in US journalism it is considered neutral to spread a lie, but it is considered "biased" to call out a lie. So, there is a structural asymmetry that rewards colorful lies with virality.

So they want to post the 10 commandments in classrooms and comparing trump to Christ appears to be a violation of the very first one. Are they going to drop 1 and only have 9? Or will they keep going and probably need to drop all of them in which case posting of the commandments is a mute point.

Since when is US allowed to close another country's airspace?
Any member of US armed forces, including Dump & his "Secretary of War", should be treated as criminals if attacking civilian aircrafts. Same with blowing civilian ships at sea. Enough nonsense: attacking Venezuela for its oil.

One of whom presented a Russian capitulation document as a US peace plan. That’s the headline. We need headlines that are true and not news jargon that washes out the basic facts.
President Donald Trump’s demand that Ukraine sign a deal by Thanksgiving appears to have softened as he leaves some of the most important details of the peace plan in the hands of his envoys, one of whom was just embroiled in a high-profile phone leak. https://wapo.st/481ZdYG

Envoy Steve Witkoff, who in new phone leaks appears to have advised Russia on negotiations, heads to Moscow next week to discuss the peace plan.
