Russian state media openly says what I and others warned about, which Trump/Vance/Musk and fans—along with Jeffrey Sachs, Noam Chomsky, and their end of the horseshoe—get badly wrong:
Russia is after conquest, not peace. US weakening Ukraine encourages more Russian attacks, not Russian negotiations.

On Kremlin TV, Putin intimate Solov'yov says Russia so encouraged by Trump taking their side no longer see need for ceasefire.
"No, there won’t be any ceasefire. Our idea of peace is everything happening as we see fit”
Then plays a clip of Vance slamming Ukraine.
Vance is "our man" he says.

Trump and Vance needed to create an incident to provide a justification for their pre-planned abandonment of Ukraine now, then separation from NATO in the near future. That’s what that was all about, and that was always the way a second Trump term was going to go.

It’s official: all funding requests made on Tuesday by postdocs for their salaries have been unilaterally rejected by NSF.
