Under Trump and his Republican enablers, the richest Americans and biggest corporations have made out like bandits. Average working Americans are paying dearly for what the bandits have stolen. The grift and the graft must end.

This sort of undiplomatic language and lack of judgement is not a one-off. As she tried to get herself invited to a dinner at the World Economic Forum at Davos, Guilfolye reportedly told one businessman: “You know, I can deliver the world to you. Which you deserve…I’m going to make you a lot of fucking money.”

Ukraine President Zelenskyy says the consequences of President Trump and the US "allowing Russia to sell oil products were most clearly felt in Kyiv today, when, following numerous attacks with jet-powered Shahed drones against energy facilities, a ballistic missile attack began as well."

Що означає дозвіл Росії продавати нафтопродукти, зараз найкраще було чутно в Києві, коли після численних застосувань реактивних «шахедів» проти енергетичних обʼєктів почалася ще й атака балістикою. Частину ракет вдалося збити. Це ще раз чітко демонструє, які справжні наміри у Росії. Вони розраховують на продовження війни, терор проти звичайних людей і знищення інфраструктури. Кожен додатковий мільярд доларів, які вони зможуть заробити на експорті, вони витратять саме на це – на пошук і завезення критичних компонентів, обладнання для виробництва зброї, на посилення «шахедів» і виробництво ракет та ще на додаткових найманців на фронт. Російський вибір – це війна. І вони будуть готові її припинити тільки тоді, коли відчують, що потенціал затягування війни скорочується. Вчора, на жаль, були зовсім інші сигнали для Росії – сигнали, що атакувати надалі начебто можна. І це потрібно виправляти. Потрібні сильні сигнали від Сполучених Штатів, від Європи, від інших партнерів. На підтримку України та на ОБМЕЖЕННЯ російської…

I agree that this is a BFD. But I think it gives Trump too much agency. This was baked in for quite some time and I expect Lindsey Graham's death is what accelerated it. Putin is no doubt offering Trump a way out of his Iran disaster, which ALWAYS required scapegoating Ukraine.

'The Trump plan changed nothing': One year later, Gaza still lives in ruins, under bombs
Three years after the Hamas attacks of October 7, 2023, residents of the Palestinian territory continue to live among rubble. The plan brokered under the auspices of the American president on October 10, 2025 has stalled, and despite the ceasefire it provides for, Israel's campaign of destruction has continued.
