A deal with a DMZ and outside security guarantees that makes an uneasy but lasting end to a war?
We know what that looks like: Korea, with a substantial US military presence in the South acting as a tripwire.
Not even under consideration in Ukraine, but talks pretend something much less will work.

“It is necessary to deal w criminals. It is immoral & dangerous to absolve & reward them. Yet this is how Trump’s peace plan treats Putin’s Russia. In the plan’s morally-inverted universe, there is no distinction bw perpetrator & victim, aggressor & defender, militarised dictatorship & democracy.”

there is no available evidence that donald trump understands what a tariff is, what a trade deficit is, and what the national debt is.
The way Trump talks about the problems he caused by unilaterally imposing tariffs is fairly insane, even by his standards.

Per @jenniferjjacobs.bsky.social, DOD presented Trump with plans for strikes in Venezuela yesterday, including on the ground. Astonishing to see the U.S. on the brink of another regime-change invasion with essentially none of the pre-2003 effort to rationalize it domestically and internationally.
