Trump is trying to give Russia exactly what they want & call it a ‘peace deal.’ It’s in fact a guarantee for a bigger war.
Donbas is Ukraine’s main line of defense. The region is heavily fortified & holds Russia back from attacking the rest of Ukraine, & from there the EU.

There's a predictable approach to denial that we're already seeing, which I call the Four Pillars of Disordered Doubt, which allows actors to constantly question evidence that don't fit their preferred narratives.

I think we’re still underrating just how much of a defeat this is for the parts of the MAGA crowd that want a dictatorship. If two murders is enough to spark enough backlash that the administration is panicking, there’s no chance of using force to keep power.
