"Just give him the Donbas. Then he'll stop."
Chechnya, 1999 — then he stopped? Georgia, 2008 — then he stopped? Crimea, 2014 — then he stopped? Donbas proxies, 2014–2021 — then he stopped? All of Ukraine, 2022 — and the proposal is to pay him for the failure?
Appetite that grows by eating doesn't have a "full." Every concession so far has been metabolized as proof the method works.
You're not proposing peace. You're proposing a feeding schedule — and volunteering someone else as the meal.

A massive mudslide started in Nepal and crossed into Gyirong Port in Tibet causing major casualties and missing persons at the port.

Chinese media reports President Xi Jinping issued instructions for all-out search and rescue efforts. Nepal reported at least 8–17 deaths plus widespread destruction of villages, roads, bridges, and hydropower sites. The death toll is expected to rise.

Trump ostentatiously releases photos of himself with Kim Jong-un and gushes about his "very good relationship" with him—all while scaling back joint US-South Korean military exercises.

This is not statesmanlike diplomacy. This is pandering to a dictator.

Kim Jong-un heads one of the world’s most brutal regimes: a state with no free elections, no free press, and no independent judiciary, characterized by the systematic oppression of its own people. At the same time, North Korea is expanding its nuclear arsenal and supporting Putin’s war against Ukraine with weapons and troops.

And Trump? Instead of firmly keeping this dictator in check, he displays photos of them together like trophies and makes his personal relationship with Kim the centerpiece of American foreign policy.

The same pattern applies to Putin: where a US president ought to call out an aggressor’s crimes and strengthen America’s democratic allies, Trump demonstratively seeks closeness with men who have made war, repression, and violence the guiding principles of their rule.

The United States has become a personal stage for Trump’s vanity. The office of the US president is now being used to legitimize the world’s most brutal dictators.

Inside North Korea, Kim Il-sung is presented as the benevolent “Great Leader” who liberated a nation and created a self-reliant socialist paradise.

The reality? He built one of history’s most totalitarian regimes—a hereditary communist dictatorship enforced through a system of political prisons and labor camps, mass starvation due to failed policies, and a personality cult mandating daily ideological rituals.

Three generations later, North Koreans are still imprisoned in a communist nightmare.

The United States asked Ukraine not to strike Moscow while senior American officials are visiting the russian capital, including CIA Director John Ratcliffe.

Think about that.

When American officials travel to Moscow, Washington apparently has no problem asking Ukraine: Do not attack Moscow while we are there.

But just days earlier, Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner canceled their planned visit to Kyiv around Ukraine’s Independence Day because of “heavy russian air strikes on the city.”

So why didn’t Washington simply ask russia: Do not attack Kyiv while American officials are there?

Apparently, the United States can ask Ukraine to stop bombing russia to protect American officials in Moscow. But it cannotask russia to stop bombing Ukraine to protect American officials in Kyiv.

Instead, Witkoff and Kushner canceled their trip.

This tells you something important about American diplomacy under Trump.

Washington repeatedly demands restraint from Ukraine while accommodating russia. It expects Kyiv to adjust its military actions around American diplomacy, while seemingly accepting that Moscow will continue bombing Ukrainian cities whenever it wants.

You cannot be an honest broker when the rules apply only to one side.

That is blatant hypocrisy.

A day after Trump refuses to send a delegation to join 30 other world leaders in Kyiv to commemorate Ukraine's 35th year of Independence, he posts photos of himself with the dictator of North Korea and sends a delegation to Moscow.

China is proof that a Fascist stakeholder-style economy led by a pragmatic Communist Party in the 21st century style can work so long as it can extract massive wealth from fully capitalist societies that use it as a manufacturing base because its workers are dirt poor.

How Russian propaganda works abroad, in one sentence per layer:

For the right: "Russia defends tradition." For the left: "NATO caused this." For the pacifist: "Weapons prolong war." For the cynic: "Everyone lies equally." For the tired: "It's complicated."

Five contradictory messages, one output: do nothing.

Russian propaganda doesn't need you to love Moscow. It needs you paralyzed — and it has a script for whichever ideology you brought to the table.

Whenever a take ends in "therefore, inaction," check the return address.

Only a few hours after the diaper-wearing US president praises Kim Jung Un, North Korean ballistic missiles murder 6 people in Kyiv.

Trump is Putin's dog.

It seems that Steven Seagal, a washed-up action star and devoted Putin bootlicker, has finally been abandoned by the Kremlin.

After selling his $1,3 million house in Moscow, Russia's Federal Tax Service blocked access to his bank account, potentially confiscating his wealth.

Prostituting yourself for an authoritarian empire never ends well.
