”The 28 points included a provision that ‘If Ukraine launches a missile at Moscow or St. Petersburg without cause, the security guarantee will be deemed invalid.’ So other cities are fair game. And also Moscow and St. Petersburg are fair game if Ukrainians have a cause.“
It says something about what’s going on in the US that the New York Post, of all media, has the best analysis of the latest peace deal shenanigans
Ukraine peace plan expected to be rejected by Russia — likely extending war until after Christmas at minimum: sources
Russia is expected to reject the new 19-point cease-fire deal drafted by the US and Ukraine, suggesting the war will last at least through Christmas, sources told The Post.

Trump demands Ukraine to agree to his 28-point “peace plan”.
There is no sign of ceasefire preparations in Donetsk oblast. There is only raw, muddy and deadly war going on.
This is not peace and this deal won’t bring us peace. This is what Ukrainian soldiers think 🧵

1) Start the worst European war since 1945 and commit every imaginable war crime
2) Decide how you want to be rewarded for your aggression
3) Leak the list of your desiderata to the US press
4) Wait for the US president to enforce your wish list on your victim.

On one side of my family we have zero knowledge of our lineage before my grandpa. There was just nobody left to ask. He wasn’t even sure if his last name was real or made up. And there’s a story like this in almost every Ukrainian household.

Det store klasseskiljet i framtida kjem ikkje til å gå mellom dei som "har tilgang på KI" og dei som ikkje har det. Det kjem til å gå mellom dei som har tilgang på _noko anna enn KI_, og dei som berre har KI. Dei som ikkje får læra å bruka sin eigen hjerne, bruka seg sjølv.

Yesterday, a Russian missile killed 26 sleeping people in a house in a relatively peaceful city in western Ukraine. 14 people are still missing. Now Trump, in his “peace plan,” suggests everyone should forgive everything.
Forgive Bucha, Mariupol, Avdiivka...
Just read these 28 points. I feel sick.

“This war can be brought to an end, but the basic logic remains what it always was: the Ukrainians have to be supported so that Russia no longer aspires to destroy their country. That is the foundation. Negotiations will work when that has been achieved.”
We hear that Putin and Trump (or their emissaries) have been secretly consulting about a settlement to the war. Given the inherent traps of allowing an aggressor to decide the outcome of his war, I try here to give a sense of how negotiations might actually work.
