🇺🇸‼️🇺🇦 Bloomberg: Dmitriev and Witkoff drafted the plan during an October meeting in Miami, which was also attended by Kushner. Rubio was fully informed only after the document had already been created. Trump himself learned about it at the last moment, but once he was told, he quickly endorsed it.

You've all forgotten I said I can't sign a deal with Zelensky cos I said he's illegitimate.

🇺🇦 Zelensky: The crux of the entire diplomatic situation is that it was Russia, and only Russia, that started this war, and it is Russia, and only Russia, that has been refusing to end it throughout the full-scale invasion.

Blessed are the peacemakers

OTD in 2004 German Chancellor Gerhard Schröder called me a "flawless democrat" A statement that has stood the test of both time & special military operation.

The opening of Poland's prime minister, Donald Tusk, in reference to the 28 point paper is quite something. This is trolling on the most professional level politics can give. It is even questionable whether the US side will be understanding this subtlety. Hilarious!

Friday: "Sign this by Thanksgiving or it's all over for you." Saturday: "This is nothing to do with us, some other boys wrote it." Sunday: "By 'some other boys wrote it', of course I meant some other boys wrote the denial that we wrote it. Here's my lunch money."

Why is FoxNews based in Germany? 🤔

Twitter pays people based on engagement (views, retweets, comments, etc). It appears that many MAGA accounts are based abroad and they use AI technology to generate low-effort rage bait. My guess is that this will get worse as AI tech improves. For instance, fake videos of minorities doing crime.

The Kyiv Independent is reporting that Trump envoy Steve Witkoff is "running a shadow operation inside the White House in an effort to sideline pro-Ukraine officials", cutting out Secretary of State Marco Rubio, in an effort supported by Vice President J.D. Vance.

This isn’t institutional capture. It’s a parallel epistemic system built outside medicine, using influencer dynamics, curated anecdotes, and spiritualised autonomy to replace verification, deliberation, and accountability.

I hope that means in a shared cell

Humans will NEVER colonize another planet. Never. If we can’t even agree to do the minimum to keep Earth habitable, there’s no way in hell we’ll cooperate to make another planet habitable.

“Bow down before me, you’re not a real country” vs. “We want to keep our freedom and self-determination” are incompatible positions. Trump diplomacy has aimed at getting Ukraine to bow down. Declining to play along with that isn’t ceding the diplomatic field, it’s rejecting imperialist demands.

Would it have killed these journalists to ask MBS about murdering their colleague NICELY?

Trump’s “peace plan” was clearly originally written by a native Russian speaker. I wonder if it is the same person who writes Seymour Hersh’s articles.

🇺🇸🇪🇺 One senior EU official in Brussels scoffed at the idea and noted that whatever he wants, Trump has no power to unfreeze assets held in Europe. Senior EU politician said: “Witkoff needs to see a psychiatrist.” - Politico

Breaking News: Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said he personally instructed the CDC to abandon its position that vaccines do not cause autism. The move underscores his determination to challenge scientific orthodoxy — in this case, that vaccines save lives — and bend the health department to his will.

Well noticed!

It gets lost in the shuffle, but the Speaker of the House is someone who, by all rights, should’ve had his career ended a decade ago by a Shreveport TV news investigative team.

If there is ever a datapoint for how no one ever learns anything ever it is in how after Trump's strategic fuck ups with the US-Russia meetings in Riyadh and Anchorage you still see people wasting 1000s of Substack wordcount on another American strategic brainfart

After already having sat through two rounds of Trump's attempts to solve the Ukraine-Russia war I find it quite remarkable that so many analysts, journalists and scholars still get sucked into taking the car crash diplomacy seriously of a chaotically inept US government.

This is conspiracy theory stuff. China doesn’t need to spy on baby monitors to know what Americans are doing. They can just open Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, or one of the many apps that Americans use to share the kind of information that two generations ago couldn’t be waterboarded out of them.

HINSON: As a mom, I think about watching a baby monitor. That's a very intimate moment with your baby and to think the Chinese could be spying on your morning routine BARTIROMO: Why are they spying on moms? HINSON: They just want to know what Americans are up to to undermine our way of life

da steht explizit, dass es im fall eines russischen angriffs nur noch sicherheitsgarantien gibt. die nato wird indirekt ausgehebelt und die usa haben das durchgewunken. was glaubt man denn, was die konsequenz daraus für europa ist?

Die Aufregung über die Stipendiaten, die während der Merz-Rede gingen, zeigt, dass viele wieder bei: ‚Ausländer sollen dankbar sein und sonst die Fresse halten‘ angekommen sind. Und nein: Diese Leute interessiert es einen Dreck, ob ihr einen deutschen Pass habt, die definieren "Deutsch" anders.

Das ist kein “Friedensplan”. Es ist der Versuch von Trump und Putin, die Ukraine zur Kapitulation zu drängen und der Ausverkauf europäischer Sicherheit. Dabei ist so klar, was jetzt zu tun ist: ➡️ europäische Einigkeit schmieden ➡️ mehr Unterstützung für die Ukraine ➡️ frozen assets JETZT nutzen

Kollektiver Nervenzusammenbruch in Kreisen, die sonst gerne anderen übertriebene Empfindlichkeit vorwerfen- weil 30 Studierende still gegen den Kanzler protestiert haben.

I think the American public has the right to see the secret protocols of the Witkoff-Dmitriev pact. What business deals have been agreed?

This will surely surprise most Americans today, but historians have recently discovered that before Donald Trump, it was actually incredibly rare for a president to demand the public execution of this political opponents and press critics.
