The Russian plan is a non-starter. No Ukrainian leader could sign it and survive politically. Europe is exploring alternative ideas, but even a reasonable compromise sent to Moscow will likely be rejected. Putin is the one who wants to keep fighting. As I told @morningjoe-msnow.bsky.social

Astonishing that a leading politicians can have reached a position with such a dishonourable past. Youthful indiscretion is one thing, dismissing in an interview suggests a lack of understanding over the impact of emotional manipulation and such insensitivity causes deep concern.

Laughing off, it was pub banter.
It was a long time ago. That was what boys did then.
Normalising the behaviour.

I know I did that but I didn't mean it that way.
I know I did that but trust me I'm not a bad person.

Undermining and dismissing.

Another photo taken at one of my favourite locations on the London Underground tube map.

If the sun is out, and in the correct position at Nine Elms station, it can project beautiful shadows of the London Underground roundel on to the station floor.

The difficult truth is that there is a clear national security element to social media information flows. It can't all be viewed through the single lens of free speech. Disinformation sabotage is a hostile act intended to destablise our societies. Our societies need appropriate protection.

Only Kamal, the father, survived inside the apartment.

This is not just the tragedy of one family — it is the grief of an entire nation.

In Ternopil, Ukraine, a father holds a small coffin in his arms, gently rocking it as if his child might wake up and smile again.

But today is a final farewell.

People gather to say goodbye to Mariia and her children, Kamila and little Nazarchyk — lives killed by Russia on November 19.

If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

These of course are the sorts of account that get boosted under Musk’s X. If you’re still on the platform for engagement, you are a mug.
X rolled out a new feature overnight showing where accounts are based. This network of “Trump-supporting independent women” that claimed to be “real Americans” are based in Thailand.

The photos were stolen from European models & posts pushed pro-Trump lines while targeting Islam and LGBTQ people.

Peace processes legitimise underlying requirements: the framework will include recognition of an independent Ukraine giving the people a choice.

There is no basis in international law for Russian leaders to restrict future choices for the people of Ukraine.

Fighter jet purchases depend on confidence in future reliability. They need parts, maintenance, ongoing communication, trust that no measure will ever be electronically disabled, etc.
Telling Canada buy US jets or we’ll hurt your economy more is effectively communicating it’d be dumb to buy US jets.

Any long term agreement must respect Ukraine's withdrawal from the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS). There is no legal basis to any expectation that formally the USSR dissolved.

Georgia withdrew following conflict.

94 more people were injured, 18 of them children. Six people remain missing.

Ukrainian rescuers worked for four days at two locations, managing to save 46 people, including seven children.

This so-called ‘peace plan’ has real problems, and I am highly skeptical it will achieve peace. Ukraine should not be forced to give up its lands to war criminal Putin.

The size and disposition of Ukraine’s armed forces is a sovereign choice for its government and people.

On the Holodomor Commemoration Day, spare a thought for all innocent Ukrainian victims of the Soviet-made famine.

Impunity is never a path towards peace. It's a highway to violence, slaughter and barbarism.

Trump also just posted these photos to Truth Social, including the one with Mamdani standing next to a portrait of FDR. Trump mentioned Mamdani asked if he could have his picture taken there.

"It's an amazing portrait in the cabinet room," Trump said. "So he's a big fan of the New Deal, I guess..."
