The Trump administration has designs on frozen russian assets, with $100 billion to “be invested in U.S.-led efforts for Ukraine’s reconstruction and investment,” with the U.S. extorting 50% of profits. An official from an EU government resorted to colourful swearing to express their disgust.

🇨🇦 Prime Minister Mark Carney joined today's Coalition of the Willing meeting on Ukraine with France, UK, Germany, President Zelenskyy, and russia's advocate Marco Rubio. Canada reaffirms support for Ukraine's defence.

Hopefully Trump will be pleased with all the faux, undeserved accolades.

"These musicians and their listeners, they are not dissidents. They are a generation which is saying no to all of this, to Putin's ideas, to what Putin has tried to do."
“Putin’s propaganda has lost this generation of people.”

How an 18-year-old street musician became a threat to the Kremlin - in a crackdown that had seen even one of Putin’s former advisors labelled a “foreign agent.”

Travel Tantrums 😤
19 Nov - Pierre Poilievre laments that Carney is off on yet another trip, which has not resulted in any reduced tariffs.

20 Nov - Andrew Scheer breathily recited the script about things get worse every time Mark Carney travels.

Marge Greene announces she is resigning from Congress, that she doesn’t want to go through a brutal primary against a Trump backed opponent, and says Trump has treated her like a battered wife and has been hateful to her and is trying to destroy her.

"Trump’s personal envoy, Steve 'Dim Philby' Witkoff, and Kirill Dmitriev, a businessman close to Russian President Vladimir Putin – has much in common with the surrender terms Mr. Putin offered to Mr. Zelensky almost four years ago, at the start of the Russian invasion."

(Dim Philby is my edit).
The Witkoff-Dmitriev plan puts Zelensky in a familiar spot. He can accept Moscow’s terms, or Ukraine can keep fighting a war few think it can win.

It’s the same choice Ukrainians faced in February 2022 - so don’t expect the answer from Kyiv to be any different this time.

My analysis
U.S. peace plan for Ukraine bears strong resemblance to Putin’s terms
The 28-point proposal finds Zelensky in a vulnerable political position, hurt by a corruption scandal

This guy hates women. He hates accountability. The two combined are his worst nightmare.
Mary Bruce is a superstar. She could give a shit when the President tries to demean her. She really got him flustered over and over.
He hates strong women.
