Did not have “Trump regime may have been planning to provide refuge for Bolsonaro after he fled Brazil”
and that’s leaving aside a non-zero possibility Trump regime was planning on extracting Bolsonaro.

It seems their fears were justified.
According to Trump, he spoke to Bolsonaro "last night" and that "they were going to be meeting in the very near future."

The Irish Times published and lauded John Collison's op-ed, but did they fact-check it?

If this is the agreement, it's the kind of "grand bargain" that Russia's been angling for since it decided to back Trump in 2016. Both in terms of its scope *and* in terms of form: 🇷🇺 got to sit with the 🇺🇸 at the great-power table and decide the fate of a country in 🇷🇺's sphere of privileged interest.
The scope for rent-extraction by the Trump administration in this agreement is staggering. Lots of joint funds, even a mandate for the U.S. to capture 50% of the profits from reconstruction (what does that even mean)... and also the U.S. will receive "compensation" for security guarantees?

Future historians might want to reconstruct when NATO ceased to exist IN ITS TRANSATLANTIC FORM.
Here’s a hint. Look at this passage of the Ukraine „peace plan“. The US will act as a „mediator“ between NATO and Russia.
As if they were no longer the lead nation.

The great advantage of a chatbot giving people wrong advice on critical matters is that the people actually responsible can shrug and say "We're not responsible"...
"The Minister states that “the chatbot was tested extensively...checking responses to “55 questions out of which 53 were deemed successful"
Wendy Lyon, an immigration & human rights solicitor at Abbey law, found that many of these 53 “successful” responses were wrong, unhelpful & misleading."
