This is another example of President Trump and Secretary Hegseth undermining the rule of law to attack a political opponent. In this case, simply for stating a legal fact. This is how things go in Russia and other autocratic regimes. It shouldn’t be happening in America.

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.

Stunning development: Senators now confirm the Trump admin’s 28-point “peace plan” for Ukraine wasn’t a U.S. plan at all. It was a Russian wish list. Follow along. This is crazy. 1/

Journalists and OSINT analysts figured out the plan was Russian from the start, yet the U.S. government somehow didn’t. Let that sink in.

The entire West comes together to reject the Dmiriev 28-point plan to which Trump affixed his name. This would appear to mark the absolute modern low point of US diplomatic influence on he world stage.

I once knew a Federal bank examiner, and one time someone asked him why we had to KEEP inspecting banks over and over. He basically said every new batch of business school grads invents bank fraud from first principles.

The underlying cause of every bubble - debt masquerading as financial innovation - depends on not just short financial memory & speculative neophytism, but reinventing jargon of finance, like how each generation of kids has new ways to say same things.

The Witkoff gang was probably using google translate on the document handed to them by their Russian masters.
Many sources has pointed out that parts of the language in the “peace proposal” (hence forward to be called the “capitulation demand”) are odd in English, but makes sense in Russian.

🇺🇸🇺🇦‼️ Who wrote the US peace plan: exclusive details from Bloomberg
28-point plan was prepared by a narrow circle around Donald Trump's special envoy, Steve Witkoff.
He worked directly with Russian representatives without involving key American agencies and without consulting with allies.

The plan was leaked by the Russians and no one in America’s historically inept administration knew what anyone else was doing so people started getting behind it because they thought it was official policy.
Putin totally played the US, knowing full well he was up against incompetents and idiots.

Republican Senator Mike Rounds said Secretary of State Marco Rubio, in a call to senators, confirmed the so-called 28-point “peace plan” was actually a Russian wishlist and is “not the administration’s position”. Nor is there any threat to cut off weapons or intelligence to Ukraine.

To be fair, Neal wrote "The Baroque Cycle" longhand after a computer backup disaster ate the first five hundred pages or so.
Then he transcribed it himself in EMACS and formatted it for submission using a homebrew set of Elisp macros he wrote—
Yeah nope, that's just deranged.

The Moscow Times: „The very emergence of such a U.S. initiative signals, in Putin’s view, that Washington is capitulating. And capitulating not because it has suffered losses — it has lost neither tanks nor aircraft nor soldiers — but because it is tired,frightened and eager to avoid involvement.“
