Just sent out this post. Trump has a basic "tell" which indicates things he does not care about (and those he does). When he expresses a concern about people's lives (such as Ukrainians) it’s a bluff. He could not care less. open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

In his recent op-ed, Oleh Kotsyuba of Harvard University’s Ukrainian Research Institute compares the current protests in Minneapolis to Ukraine's 2013–2014 Revolution of Dignity, noting similarities in both the staging and spirit of both events.
Here's why Minneapolis reminds me of what I once saw in Ukraine
When the government asserts authority in ways that a growing share of the public experiences as arbitrary or vindictive, it begins to lose legitimacy.

I have been actively involved in protest movements for 24 years. I have never seen anything approaching this scale. Minneapolis is not accepting what's happening here. ICE fucking murdered a woman for participating in this, and all that did is bring out more people, from more walks of life.

Expert psychologists and psychiatrists are telling us—in no uncertain terms—that we’re fucked.
If only any Republican in DC were listening.
Don’t they realize that when American democracy falls to a madman, every single one of us will be in grave danger?

It's somewhat amusing that you can pass yourself off as a Russia expert commenting on this "peace deal" as messy but at least "a way to end the war" without realising Kremlin sees it as just a tactic to continue it later.

In what is likely to be a massive blow to traditional Russian culture…
Alcohol prices in Russia are set to rise sharply from January 1, 2026, as the government approves higher excise taxes across the board. Vodka will go up 11.4%, beer by 10%, and wine by as much as 30%. Some shelves may empty by December as producers rush output. Analysts expect a 10% drop in sales.
