It’s immediately clear that Putin is slow-walking the US proposal for a 30-day ceasefire in Ukraine. He has no intention of accepting the proposal, but Putin needs to avoid saying “no” directly to Trump. And he needs only a few days to invent a provocation that makes the proposal unacceptable.
The Trump administration is negotiating with Ukraine in bad faith. US will not under any circumstance restore arms shipments and intelligence sharing, or do anything to improve the security of Ukraine whatever steps Ukraine takes.

I am wondering. Will Trump’s State of the Union Address will be delivered in its native Russian?

Elon Musk is vaccinated. Donald Trump is vaccinated. RFK Jr is vaccinated. Ignore what they say and watch what they do. #vaccines

As the US unravels into #oligarchy, economic decline and political chaos, #ukraine and Zelenskyy are now the leaders of the free world. Welcome to the end of Pax Americana.

It’s shocking how much the US has come to resemble book 3 of Atlas Shrugged. Eg. using political pull to reward allies and punish rivals. Actions that make no sense except as spectacle for the voters.

The #google monopoly has been the Internet’s greatest threat to #privacy and #security for two decades. I am sad it took a couple ill-advised map updates to make the at least one segment of the population to realize the threat. But at least they finally came around.

So TikTok will be banned in China by the CCP to prevent spying by the US government, and the value of the network will decline even faster than Xitter?

I cannot name a single ancestor, person, or cultural work that lived or was created in the year 1025. I dare say in the year none will exist: the English language, the USA or any current nation state, the Internet, or knowledge of today’s most famous people outside a small group of historians.

I already barely use Facebook for the last several years. I am pretty sure I can avoid using it altogether in 2025. #facebook #disinformation #misinformation #zuck
