So, Putin wants peace?
Written from inside a dark, freezing #Kyiv, POLITICO’s Ukraine correspondent Veronika Melkozerova’s "Survival guide to the Kremlin’s winter of terror in Kyiv" is painfully literal (link below).
Kyiv is enduring one of its harshest winters since Russia’s full-scale invasion began.

Trump: "People that own their homes -- we're gonna keep them wealthy. We're gonna keep those prices up. We're not gonna destroy the value of their homes so that somebody who didn't work very hard can buy a home."

German Chancellor Merz:
We are doing everything we can to help #Ukraine. However, we are also seeing the ruthless bombardment of Ukraine's entire civilian infrastructure, especially its energy infrastructure.
These are daily war crimes being committed by Russia against Ukraine and its people.

"The behavior of ICE and CBP agents reminds me of the Fascist blackshirts who arrived in trucks, armed with clubs, knives, guns, and castor oil, to subjugate towns in early 1920s Italy, before Benito Mussolini declared dictatorship."

I have begun to think that Minnesota pushback to ICE was unique and a model because it gave people something to do. It wasn’t about just going out in streets for rallying purposes. People had a mission: videos, whistles, information and communication flow to communities. They had something to do.

This is so important to understand
Under authoritarian regimes, public spheres — streets, parks, neighborhood — become testing grounds for authoritarian rituals of humiliation and domination.

🇺🇸Shame on the US embassy.
🇩🇰 The US embassy in Copenhagen removed 44 flags honoring Danish soldiers killed in Afghanistan.
🇩🇰 The flags had been placed after Trump criticized NATO allies' military contributions.
🇩🇰 Hundreds of new flags were later put up in response.

Danish flags put outside the US Embassy in Copenhagen - each flag with the name of a fallen Danish soldier in Afghanistan🇩🇰
Shortly after they were removed by embassy staff (the flags were not on embassy property).
Shame on you, America.

Trump keeps posting that America was once the laughingstock of the world, but now that he is president, it's never been more respected.
As an Aussie, I can 100% confirm that Donald Trump is a laughingstock here.

Republicans have been telling us for over a decade that we can't do anything about shooting massacres without infringing the sanctity of the Second Amendment. It was a mountain of lies told to respectable white people to keep them in line. And now Trump is threatening to knock the whole thing down.
This is the BEST explanation I have seen so far.

We want strong trans-Atlantic ties.
But Europe needs to adapt to new realities.
It is no longer Washington’s primary centre of gravity.
It’s time for Europe to step up and act with urgency.

Ignore!
ISW: "The United States is reportedly pushing Ukraine to cede the remainder of Donetsk Oblast to Russia in exchange for US security guarantees."
1. Trump works for Putin - ignore him.
2. US security "guarantees" are no guarantees - ignore them!
= no ceasefire is likely.
