So when will the USA start bombing Ukraine?
They've withdrawn the possibility of defending Ukraine.
They've withdrawn the ability to know when and where attacks will occur, which will undoubtedly cause deaths.
There is only one action the Americans have not done, and that is to attack Ukraine!
Trump is out to get an unconditional surrender to and for the Russians. I presume he has made a rare earth deal with Putin to share whatever is under the sovereign land we know as Ukraine.
I doubt it will be long before there is a name change. The new country could be called Pump! -

The uncomfortable truth about solar panels. (Edited)
This was on an Al Jazeera programme called 101 East. So there is no weblink.
In China they are increasing the output of coal fired power stations to meet the demand for producing solar panels for The West; so we can feel good about "saving the planet".
And we all know about the child labour in Congolese lithium and cobalt mines which is needed for EVs.
Is the rush to get to NetZero by a target date really a good thing for the whole world? -
Shifty Shift... (Edited)
US President Donald Trump has decided to give a one-month tariff exemption on vehicles coming into the United States through a trade agreement between the US, Mexico and Canada, the White House spokesperson said Wednesday, a decision meant to support US automakers.
Karoline Leavitt, the spokesperson, made the announcement, after Trump held a call with the leaders of the big three automakers -- General Motors, Ford, and Stellantis.
[ Is it possible Trump needed reminding Ford and GM each donated $1 million and contributed vehicles to Trump's inauguration and Automaker Stellantis NV contributed $1 million to President-elect Donald Trump's inauguration too? ]
Give the man credit, he openly approves of business "facilated by financial inducements". -

The Nobel Peace Prize award is no more than toilet paper.
To nominate Trump is as disgusting as nominating Hitler. Trump is an American disaster who will wreck America, Europe and the far East security and trade if he is not kicked out of office soon. He is a global menace.

Putin is a former Soviet spy who spent 16 years in the KGB, where he learned how to manipulate people by playing on their egos, greed and fears. After the end of the Cold War, Putin was named head of the FSB, Russia’s post-KGB intelligence agency. In 1999, Putin was named Prime Minister, becoming president when former President Yeltsin unexpectedly resigned. Putin has ruled Russia ever since.
At the heart of Putin’s rule are two forces: corruption and violence.
As Russia’s new leader, Putin, who is now believed to be one of the wealthiest people on earth, consolidated power at home by reining in Russia’s powerful oligarchs. He offered them a simple deal: If they granted him absolute power and shared the spoils, he would let them steal as much as they wanted from the Russian people. The result: while the vast majority of the Russian population struggles economically, Putin and his fellow oligarchs stashed trillions of dollars in offshore tax havens. In the process, Putin crushed Russia’s brief movement toward democracy. He eliminated rivals, cracked down on freedom of speech, and strangled the free media. Political dissidents, investigative journalists, and opposition leaders started turning up dead.
Today, 26 years after he took power, Putin is the absolute ruler of Russia. Russian elections are blatantly fraudulent, with Putin’s lackeys barely hiding their ballot-stuffing. In the last sham election, Putin won 88 percent of the “vote” against carefully screened opposition candidates.
That is Putin’s Russia.
There is no freedom of speech.
Protests are violently suppressed. Tens of thousands of people are in imprisoned for speaking out against his rule.
The bravest and most prominent dissidents – people like Alexei Navalny, Boris Nemtsov and Sergei Magnitsky – are murdered outright.
And the billionaire oligarchs become even richer.
That is the leader Trump defends and admires. -

Comfort To The Enemy (Edited)
Trump wants Zelenskyy to agree to a ceasefire with no security guarantees and to “trust” Putin to honor his word. Zelenskyy knows Putin can’t be trusted, because Putin proved it with his 2014 invasion of Crimea and his 2022 invasion of Ukraine, and at all points in between when he murdered critics and disappeared rivals. When Zelenskyy tried to explain this basic history to Trump andVance, they accused him of “being disrespectful” and “trying to relitigate” the morals of the war for the cameras—cameras Trump arranged.
Putin has made his imperial ambitions clear. He is trying to rebuild the Soviet Empire, which includes not only Ukraine but Belarus, and possibly Poland. Any child can understand that a ceasefire with no U.S. security guarantees will give Putin time to replenish his military and attack again, which means a bad deal for Ukraine would be more deadly than no deal.
Instead of discussing these facts in good faith, Trump and Vance tag teamed each other for the cameras, hurling outrageous insults at Zelenskyy based on deliberate disinformation.
Before Friday’s meeting, world leaders were aghast that Trump called Zelenskyy—rather than Putin— a “dictator” and accused Kyiv of starting the war.
During Friday’s meeting when Zelenskyy urged him not to trust Vladimir Putin, Trump flew into a rage.
“You don’t know that. Don’t tell us what we’re going to feel. You’re in no position to dictate that.”
The entire world can see that the main reason Kyiv now has a weak negotiating hand is because of Trump’s dangerous loyalty to Putin.
Meanwhile, leaders of the free world recoil in horror from an America that turned overnight from a beacon of liberty to a mouthpiece for Nazis and the KGB. Ukraine has already lost 100,000 people to Putin’s butchery.
Now they will lose more, because the President of the United States is giving aid and comfort to the enemy. -
