I see that trump has started to dress like Mamdani, I wonder if he's going to dye his hair black and then black facial hair 😄

Trumps now whining about lack of gratitude from Ukraine again.

Europe's rival peace plan.

The whole thing is just mad, as we know.

There’s a burglar (Russia) in your house (Ukraine) a third party (US) says you need to ‘make a deal’ with the burglar, and the deal is that you give them everything that they’ve already taken, and a little bit more, and your minerals, and you need to put a cap (determined by the burglar) on how many of your family can defend you if the burglar comes back (they will) and you can never ever ask your neighbours for help. Furthermore, you should be very grateful for this amazing deal, it’s crazy that you haven’t accepted it already, and if you don’t accept it, by Thursday, then the main person who was helping you, won’t help you any more. Also, wear a suit please whilst accepting this deal. Bonkers.

All that really should happen is that the burglar should get TF out, and give back everything that they’ve taken, but no, this is on you, and you’re being very difficult if you don’t accept it.

Perfectly summarised @TokyoSushi !

You would have thought that Europe - of all continents - would remember how paying the Dane geld ends.

Agree. It's not a peace agreement.

Trump and his expert amateur negotiators are a sick joke. It's a never-ending Groundhog Day nightmare for the Ukrainians - the US constantly giving with one hand and then taking away with the other. (Kafka would be proud)

Of course it’s not, it’s a stitch up. Why should there be a peace ‘agreement’ anyway? The attacker is in the wrong and just needs to stop.

If a country invades twice and annexes a part of it, then that country should not be at the forefront of the peace deal. Them's the rules - WW1 and WW2.

I wan't even aware of this escalation in the Venezuelan front as we focus on Ukraine. US troops are training in Trinidad and the people are not happy with their gov't cosying up to Trump.

And it gets even more complicated.

Latest news on the Trump peace plan for Ukraine

I hate how the US is always seeking to humiliate Zelensky and therefore Ukraine, by making him say thanks and positive things about Trump.

I wonder how far down the list "assassinating Trump and making it look like the Russians did it" is on the Ukraine brainstorming map ?

Doge has been abandoned ahead of schedule....

Presumably they reached the event horizon of greed.

Also aren't tariffs being rolled back as a "tremendous success" ?

GOP not happy with the 'peace' plan

Few examples here

Interesting from BBC Verify: X have made it possible to view the locations of accounts. They’ve looked at a number of vocal pro-Trump accounts and found one with more than 1 million followers, and claiming to have voted Trump in 2024, is based in Nigeria and another with 500,000 followers, and which Trump himself has retweeted, is based in India.

Well yes, now that they've initiated the deaths of at least hundreds of thousands, and Musk et al have stolen all the data they need, time to move on.

Yup. I wonder how long they'll keep that feature?

Why in the name of all that is holy would I start to trust X now ?

The open criticism of Trump by some GOP is interesting. It wouldn't have happened 3 months ago.

I have to agree with Mooch in that Trump has holed his own canoe. He blinked over the Epstein Files and people have now seen/realised that he’s not as all-powerful as he likes to think.

Edited to add - I wouldn’t go so far as to say he’s a lame duck yet, but there’s definitely a slight limp.

Also the recent electoral bloodbath.

Grimly amused that Trump was connected to (yet)) another abuser John Casablancas whose name is literally "White Houses".

CNN reporting that 'The Pentagon' (meaning Hegseth aka 'Kegsbreath' at SCROTUS' demand) is threatening to court martial Sen Mark Kelly over the PSA reminding military personnel that they don't have to obey illegal orders. Another act of revenge by SCROTUS.

Apparently a military retiree can be recalled to active duty and then court martialled. I had no idea!

"Senator Mark Kelly's military awards include two Defense Superior Service Medals, a Legion of Merit, two Distinguished Flying Crosses, and multiple Air Medals. He also received two Navy Commendation Medals, a Navy Achievement Medal, two Southwest Asia Service Medals, a Navy Expeditionary Medal, and a NASA Distinguished Service Medal. These decorations recognize his 25-year career as a U.S. Navy Captain, including 39 combat missions during the Gulf War, and his subsequent role as a NASA astronaut." (Wiki)

Go head on Kegsbreath, try and court martial this decorated combat veteran.
