Peace envoys never actually visited Ukraine, Trump has consistently spewed Russian propaganda and has now lifted sanctions on Russian Oil.
“24 hours” to just giving up
It’s shameful 🇺🇸

What irks me is the rhetoric about how the war is a “tragedy” for “both sides.”
No it’s not. Russians are being killed as part of an invading army. Their deaths are good. The object of our policy should be—and *is,* insofar as we are still selling Ukraine weapons and supporting Ukraine via intel—to kill even more of them.
If the Russians want to stop dying, they can leave. Nobody talks about the “tragedy” of all the IRGC missile crews who lost their lives—correctly so.

Peace talks have been a waste of time from the outset because Russia does not want peace. They want Ukrainian capitulation. There's nothing to negotiate. The war will continue until real costs are imposed on Russia, which remains well within the capacity of the US & EU.

If this deal is actually signed, it would be a fitting end to a campaign that began as “Epic Fury” and is ending as “Epic Disaster.”
What started as a war supposedly aimed at toppling the regime and dismantling its nuclear and ballistic missile capabilities may instead leave Iran’s regime stronger than before — empowered by sanctions relief, still retaining significant missile capabilities, continuing support for its proxies, and almost certainly preserving uranium enrichment on its own soil.
And then there’s the additional "bonus" nobody even mentioned at the outset: the Strait of Hormuz is now firmly back at the center of global strategic risk.
The truly grim reality is that this may still be the best available option for the administration out of a set of deeply flawed alternatives. At least Iran is unlikely to obtain a nuclear weapon in the immediate future.
But the central question remains: what was the strategic logic of launching a war whose end state may ultimately be worse than the conditions that existed before it began?
A failure from beginning to end.

🇺🇸🇮🇷The U.S. expects Iranian responses on several key points in the next 48 hours. Nothing has been agreed yet, but the sources said this was the closest the parties had been to an agreement since the war began 🇺🇸🇮🇷Yes, but: U.S. officials have expressed optimism about a deal at several points during previous rounds of negotiations and during the current war, but have yet to reach one

@d_foubert Russias has produced the oil, meant to be exported and then consumed/burned. Now it is burned before export..I think the climate is indifferent to who burns it

Ukraine 🇺🇦 has become the single biggest threat to the climate, with everything it burns.

FIONA HILL: Massive weakness of Trump that Russia exploits is that Putin knows Trump himself is very prone to conspiracy theories.
Putin knows that Trump lives in a world of memes and tropes on Truth Social, and he will take on board almost anything that is fed to him.
When I was in Trump’s first administration, Trump would sometimes pick up on things, and you’d realize, “This is Russian propaganda.”
That’s actually what I said during first impeachment. Russians are just amplifying all of this because they know Trump will believe it.

This is categorically false. Not merely a stretch, but a straight-up lie.
Congress (not Biden alone) appropriated roughly $188 billion total for Ukraine-related support from 2022–2024. NOT $350 billion.
Of that, the bulk (~$110–130B in security/military categories) stayed right here in the U.S., paying American defense contractors & replenishing our own stockpiles.
Actual direct financial ("cash") support to Ukraine was roughly $31–38B. Those funds were tracked by the World Bank and were audited by firms like KPMG & Deloitte. We were not writing blank checks.
It's extremely frustrating to watch this President demonize an ally while downplaying Putin as the aggressor. This administration has ended new U.S. financial/military support for Ukraine (they can buy via the EU if needed). Combined with eased sanctions on Russia and the President's moral ambiguity on the war, it is just a complete betrayal that I will never, ever understand.
Polls show that the vast majority of Americans are very much clear eyed about this — we support Ukraine and we sympathize with Ukraine. Our President does not reflect that majority view.

Trump: "Biden gave 350 billion dollars for Ukraine, which was insane. It's one of the reasons why the war went on."

TLDR: "We do shit like this all the time, but this incident looks bad for our PR, so we will pretend to investigate this."

The IDF says it is investigating after footage published by Lebanese media showed military excavators damaging solar panels in the Christian village of Debel in southern Lebanon. "The actions seen in the video do not align with the values of the IDF and the conduct expected of its soldiers," the military says in response to a query by The Times of Israel. The IDF says the incident is under investigation, and according to the findings, actions will be taken against the troops involved. According to Lebanese media, damage was also caused to water infrastructure in Debel, along with homes, roads, and olive trees.

@elkevdbrandt Fierce protests, vandalism, and death threats forced her into police protection. Critics predicted the policies would destroy her career. Instead they emboldened it. In 2024, she doubled her vote total and became the most popular Dutch politician in parliament in the past decade.

Brussels has long had a reputation as one of Europe’s most congested cities: one of traffic jams, polluted air, and streets dominated by cars. Yet in recent years, the capital has become an unlikely case study in how bold political leadership can reclaim urban space for people.🧵

Russian attack on Dnipro last night killed 5 people and injured 34, including 2 children‼️
They struck an apartment building with a missile in the middle of the night, when it was full of sleeping residents, crashing their own roof on top of them...

The scenes from several Ukrainian cities this morning are all similar - after a night of Russian missiles, drones and guided bombs that targeted apartment buildings and homes.
Even with their own country in a state of collapse and facing worsening catastrophe at the front, Russians continue to pursue their grand delusion of genociding a previously peaceful neighboring nation.
Dnipro, this morning.

Absolutely horrific night in Ukraine last night - 44 ballistic missiles and 659 drones fired from Russia. Deaths in Kyiv, Odessa and Dnipro. Not even bothering to hide the fact that it is residential areas under attack. Barely on the news outside Ukraine. And @JDVance says he is proud that USA has pulled its support so the aggressor can keep aggressing. Disgusting. But Europe has to do even more now

In the Treaty of Buczacz 1672, both the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth and the Ottoman Empire referred to the Cossack Hetmanate as the “Ukrainian State (Ukraińskie Państwo).”
Communism did not exist at that time.
