Trump just gave a commutation to David Gentile, a private equity executive who defrauded investors of $1.6B.
Meanwhile, Trump's regime has also scrapped enforcement actions against over 160 corporations accused of misconduct.
A new Golden Age for corporate criminals.

While "peace" negotiations continue, remember that Russia could simply stop the war at any time.

This is exactly what the European far-right does: pretend that advocates for Ukraine want us to be "dying in Russia." The point is to scare people into doing nothing at all (as if letting Russia win would make us safer)
I missed the part where Democrats said they wanted to send US troops into Russia. And why is it necessary for him to always debate fictitious Democratic positions that he invents in his twisted brain rather than actual ones? Too tough to argue against the real ones?

The Trump admin declares open season for imperialist conquest. Conquer as much as you can and you can keep your loot if you promise to stop.
NATO Ambassador Matthew Whitaker on Ukraine's territorial concessions: "No big chunks or sections are going to be just given that haven't been fought for or earned on the battlefield."

Het is onbegrijpelijk hoe de VS zich in zo'n korte tijd tegen alle normen en waarden van de internationale gemeenschap heeft weten te keren.
Het erkennen van de illegale annexatie van de Krim zou een enorme stap zijn in vredesonderhandelingen. Laat staan voor een wapenstilstand!

Putin announced the end of the Easter truce on April 21 and rejected Zelensky's proposed temporary moratorium on long-range strikes against civilian infrastructure while speaking to journalists, stating that Russia would need to "sort out" the proposed civilian infrastructure strikes moratorium.

If NATO expansion caused the war there’s no reason for Ru to want to take parts of Ukr; if Ru wants parts of Ukr for language/history reasons, NATO membership for rump Ukr is useful to Ru because it’ll guarantee rump Ukr wouldn’t try to return the territories. Yet Ru wants both…

⚡️West can send troops to Ukraine without Russia's permission, Macron says.
"Ukraine is sovereign – if it requests allied forces to be on its territory, it is not up to Russia to accept or reject it," French President Emmanuel Macron said in an interview with Le Parisien.

Poetin zal ons blijven testen, keer op keer. Hij denkt dat wij te soft zijn om ons te verzetten tegen zijn wil.
Daarom moet Europa zich herbewapenen, zodat we kunnen terugduwen. Want Poetin stopt alleen als hij weet dat wij ons kunnen verdedigen.

If you were the Kremlin, why would you make any concessions right now? You have every incentive to demand it all: land, sanctions relief, demilitarisation, neutralisation & no troops in Ukraine. If it collapses, Trump likely to blame Ukraine anyway, allowing continuation of war on better terms.

De Amerikaanse vrede is voorbij. Na de schofterige behandeling van Zelenskyy in het Witte Huis is duidelijk geworden dat Europa niet langer kan rekenen op de VS voor onze veiligheid. We moeten op eigen benen staan.

A just, lasting and comprehensive peace in Ukraine.
No matter what the Russian aggressor has in its plans.
This is the only way forward.
I welcome the adoption of the UNGA resolution, confirming the importance of territorial integrity and sovereignty, in line with the UN Charter.
