I haven‘t heard about Epstein in days. Could it be that the Ukraine peace plan is just a huge dead cat Trump has thrown on the table. The only problem is that to keep Epstein off the table, he‘s going to have to reward a war of aggression and give Putin a chunk of Ukraine. A recipe for disaster

If it's true, if the US is willing to allow borders to be redrawn by force and let aggressors be rewarded, then the gates of hell are about to be opened.
This may prove to be the single most destabilizing and conflict-spawning decision of the 21st century.

The BBC budget "analysis" consists mostly of voxpops by people complaining bitterly about Labour taxing too much and roughly an equal amount of people complaining bitterly about Labour spending too little.

Steve Witkoff helped Russia derail Ukraine’s access to Tomahawk missiles. He tipped off the Kremlin about Zelensky’s U.S. visit, giving Moscow time to arrange a call that convinced Trump to block the deal. Witkoff actively works against Ukraine’s defense, in coordination with Putin’s regime.

I swore an oath to the Constitution in 1986. I've upheld it through 25 years of service and every day since I retired.
If Trump's trying to intimidate me, it won’t work. I’ve given too much to our country to be silenced by bullies who care more about power than the Constitution.

Having read through Trump‘s (Putin‘s) plan to bring peace to Ukraine I conclude that the best we can hope for is that implementation would bring a short ceasefire lasting 1 or 2 years before Russia restarts hostilities and takes the rest of Ukraine. No guarantees for Kyiv. The plan rewards Russia
