One of the wilder political things in recent history is that Project 2025 publicly released a 900 page document laying out their plans to roll back 100 years of human progress and then during the campaign Republicans just said "no we're not :)" and then they won and now they're doing it all.

This is in Haaretz. If you recounted a Palestinian’s account of this fact in the United States, you’d likely be fired
"In Gaza, human shields are used by Israeli soldiers at least six times a day...Today, almost every platoon keeps a "shawish," and no infantry force enters a house before a "shawish" clears it. This means there are four "shawishes" in a company, twelve in a battalion, at least 36 in a brigade. 1/4

It was always obvious Putin wouldn't consider ceasefire while part of Russia was still occupied by Ukraine - hence the surge to crush the Kursk salient before "peace talks" with Trump. But this Belgorod incursion by Ukraine could now upset any Trump/Putin plans.
Never discount Ukrainian agency.
