Trump has transformed the justice system into a Putin-style autocratic protection racket. The wealthy are not audited or investigated, if convicted they are pardoned. Political opponents are targeted. Unidentified masked agents grab people off the street, and protesters are shot.

The negotiations charade is making people lose track of the real story of the Ru-Ukraine war. Ru refuses a ceasefire. Pu insists he wants to achieve ALL his goals. Ru wants "peace through Ukrainian surrender". Any discussion of Donbas, Zaporizhzhia power plant, security guarantees is a distraction.

There are three pathways to peace in Ukraine: a just peace through Russian defeat, an unjust peace through compromise, and genocidal occupation euphemistically called peace through Ukrainian surrender. Ukraine is working towards the first goal, Europe for the second, Trump for the third.

A reminder: Russia doesn’t want/need Donbas; it isn’t historically/ethnically special. Ru wants all of Ukraine. Receiving the heavily fortified Donbas towns it couldn’t conquer for 11+ yrs on a silver platter from Trump would allow Ru an easier 2nd march on Kyiv. That’s what Pu is focusing on now.

It's idiotic to ask him these things while his mind is freshly full of Russian propaganda. Ru wants to occupy all of Ukraine, destroy everything Ukrainian, absorb, russify, and rebuild as Ru. That's what they're attempting to do in the occupied territories. It's genocidal intent, not good will.
Trump: "Russia wants to see Ukraine succeed. It sounds a little strange but President Putin was very generous in his feeling toward Ukraine succeeding, including supplying energy, electricity and other things at very low prices."

Every single time Trump has a meeting with Zelensky, Putin calls Trump the day before and Trump’s position in the Zelensky meeting then mirrors the Russian position. The talking points are the same, with all the same lies. It’s a simple playbook for Putin and it works every time.

Europe muddled through. It hammered out a compromise solution-- 90bln (instead of 300), which will keep Ukraine's defense going, but Ru's intimidation tactics worked and the assets are only frozen, not used. This is slow (too slow?) progress towards grasping the true gravity of the Ru threat.
If Europe doesn't manage to achieve consensus on taking Ru's frozen assets and giving them to Ukraine, then its strategic, moral, and self-preservation instincts are weaker than I thought. I'm a big believer in the European project, but failure here will be a bad sign for its future.

It's time to let go of the extremely pernicious and extremely delusional view that Ru is a security maximizer driven by worries about its own security. It's driven entirely by imperialist expansionism. They say it every day, their actions demonstrate it every day.
Anyone complaining about European rearmament as escalatory simply doesn’t understand Ru. Ru invades the unarmed and the neutral (Moldova, Georgia, Ukraine). It hasn’t dared invade a NATO member, no matter how small. If Ru does attack NATO, it will be because it perceives its members as unprepared.
