Two things: 1. Trump is never to be trusted. He's just as likely to suddenly change course and try to do a "deal" with Xi Jinping and, 2. His mad chaotic regime is quite likely to collapse or push the US into civil war, after which all bets are off.

Yeah, yeah … two weeks … blah, blah.

Hmmm ... Coming after the Wiles revelations, this looks like another rat leaving the sinking ship. One senses that something big is going down inside the Trump "administration", and some of the insiders are trying to exculpate themselves or at least flee in a timely fashion.

Howard couldn't sit up in a wheelchair. He'd keep falling forward.

In other words, Witkoff is an ignoramus. And the moron Trump thinks this is a good thing because he also is an ignoramus.

Andrew Hastie is an idiot who apparently thinks a supernatural being created the universe around 6,000 years ago. Such people cannot be taken seriously. If he actually believes that, he’s an anti-rational moron, and if he just faking it for electoral gain, he’s a shameless opportunist. #AusPol

Indeed. Well said Timothy.

Then why does Trump do what he does: advocate for territorial concessions? She’s obfuscating. Maybe she thinks Trump’s time is very limited and her confessions are a deliberate attempt to exculpate herself.

Impressive targeting. Watching the video, I couldn’t see a ripple on the harbour’s surface so the drone’s run-in must have been quite deep. And it’s extremely difficult to communicate through water so the final course to target was pre-programmed?

Solovyov is a gibbering moron. They were going to overrun Ukraine in three days, but the war has been going on for almost 4 years and the Russians control much less of Ukraine than they did a couple of weeks in. Come on Europe, time to call Putin’s bluff!

Why did it take several days of ridicule and prompting before she condemned the neo-Nazi rally outside the NSW parliament. Her hubby is a major donor to far-right think-tanks.

Anthony Loewenstein response is well worth watching and sharing

Well! The full range of responses to this tragedy are on display in this mornings SMH, from Chip Le Grand and the odious Jillian Segal on the anti-Palestinian Right to measured pieces from Tony Wright and David Leser. #AusPol

No. Putin, like Trump, will lie about everything. His great problem with any ceasefire that doesn’t give him all of Eastern Ukraine and Crimea is that the momentum of his aggression, already stalled by Ukraine’s heroic defenders, would be lost and Russians might turn against him.

Two weeks …
