Can one of the more current Fellas sort me out?
I saw the Ukrainian ambassador to the UN categorically reject the latest, pathetic Trump “peace” deal. But I’m now seeing that Ukraine is to “review” tnis by 27 November.

Well, that was pretty clear.
Donald Trump appears to believe that he can impose his will just by virtue of his office. This “deal” was a total sell-out of Ukraine to Putin and demonstrates how morally bankrupt the US Administration is.
No rational observer thought Ukraine would accept this.

If you're trying to convince your friends to spend time on Bluesky rather than X, maybe show them this. X is not "the public town square" or about "free speech." It's "just what Elon Musk wants you to see." If you see stuff he doesn't like he'll step in to make sure you don't see it for long.
If you scroll on X, you are only being shown what Elon wants you to see. If you create content on X, no one will see it unless Elon wants them to.

Jaw dropping stupidity here.
This essentially makes Ukraine a vassal state and removes key aspects of independence.
And the US gets 50% of “profits”?? Obviously a Trump document.

❗️🇺🇸🇺🇦 28 points of the US peace plan have become known - Ukrainian media publish the main details
1. Security and political status of Ukraine
- Confirmation of Ukraine's sovereignty.
- Ukraine receives security guarantees from the US, but with conditions.

Pretty reasonable to argue that the RCAF can be too fixated on the “American standard”, but this is also very reasonable given the USAF is inarguably the best-equipped Air Force in the world and the RCAF has trained and operated alongside it for generations at this point.

And I said in 2018 that Donald Trump represented the most serious national security threat faced by Canada since the end of the Second World War. I’m not sure anyone believed me back then. I hope they do now.

Someone recently questioned me about whether I was actually being serious when I spoke of the serious threat posed to our nation.
They wondered if I was fear-mongering about Trump.

I believe more than half of Americans won’t fall for the whitewashed redacted file release scam.
Question is, will pulling this redacted file scam actually energise them into affirmative action - or just more online protest posting on Twitter?

Trump wants his “win”, even if he needs to kill every Ukrainian to get it.
RBC reports that Washington is pushing Zelensky to accept a US Russia “framework deal” that includes recognising all occupied territories, including Crimea, and restricting long range strikes so Ukraine cannot hit Russia. Sources say Ukrainians will not accept it as pressure on Zelensky grows.

Just say no Mark.
