Reuters confirms that President Trump’s son and his special envoy met in private with a sanctioned Kremlin proxy in Miami to help draft the new “peace plan” for Ukraine. This leaves the administration wide open to serious counterintelligence and influence-risk concerns.

COP30 ends with a comuniqué that perfectly suits China (and others, including Saudi Arabia, Russia and India). It drops any mention of “fossil fuels” (u-turn from COP28) It criticises trade measures linked to emissions (in effect attacking Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanisms)

Witkoff’s plan, dictated to him by the Russians, will lead nowhere. It is not only because it contains proposals that are unacceptable to Ukraine and to Europe. The real reason is that decisions are made not on geopolitical grounds, but on domestic political pressure and on a
This so-called ‘peace plan’ has real problems, and I am highly skeptical it will achieve peace. Ukraine should not be forced to give up its lands to one of the world’s most flagrant war criminals in Vladimir Putin. The size and disposition of Ukraine’s armed forces is a sovereign

Latest piece out in @TheAtlantic . Trump's "peace" plan for Ukraine, which he at this very moment trying to force on the country with threats and intimidation, is grotesque. The US president is admitting what too many refused to admit. He wants Putin to win.

The White House is giving Putin permission to try again.

The price of Russian oil continues to drop and has reached around 36.61 USD/Barrel. This is almost half of the current market price for oil. The latest steep fall resulted from the latest US sanctions package. As predicted Russians are using dumping prices in order to sell its

The President has put tariffs on the whole economy in an effort to revive manufacturing. It's not working.

Po desítkách let jsem byl v Bratislavě. Napadlo mě to už večer, během procházky starým městem, podhradím i nově vznikající čtvrtí, a ráno to bylo ještě markantnější – Praha jako město prostě zahnívá. Nejen ve srovnání se „starým Západem“, ale i s metropolí na východ od nás.

The biggest natural gas pipeline boom in nearly 20 years is unfolding in the US South 🇺🇸⚠️ 🚢 The expansion is propelled by an effort to double US LNG exports this decade 👉 Texas & Louisiana tend to be more welcoming to pipelines than other states https://t.co/f5Ddf7bw0g

This week I wrote about the de-mortgaging of America. As it becomes increasingly difficult to buy a home, American mortgage debt is falling - to a 25 year low relative to GDP, and a 60+ (!!!) year low relative to the value of the housing itself
