Fellow journalists: Can we please stop misusing the term "peace negotiations"?
After all, we don't call the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact a "peace treaty."
🇺🇦 🇺🇲 The confrontation inside Trump's Ukraine peace negotiations is now coming into focus.
Le Monde reports that Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner spent nearly three hours pitching Ukraine's presidential chief of staff, Kyrylo Budanov, a postwar economic arrangement built around restoring Russian oil and gas flows to Europe through Ukrainian pipelines.
The meeting took place on October 9 at the Shell Bay golf club in Florida.
Witkoff presented the proposal as a regional prosperity plan: Ukraine would collect transit revenues, Europe would receive cheaper energy, and Russia would regain access to commercial routes disrupted by the war.
Budanov saw something fundamentally different. According to a witness cited by Le Monde, he objected that the arrangement would recreate Ukraine's dependence on Moscow.
“Our model is not Belarus, but Poland!” he reportedly replied.
The meeting was interrupted, and Budanov called Zelensky.
When talks resumed, news arrived that Trump had announced a separate agreement with Putin involving Russian diesel. Le Monde reports that an irritated Witkoff then demanded that the Ukrainians accept the arrangement and stop striking Russian oil refineries, arguing that the attacks endangered the wider world.
A source familiar with the Ukrainian delegation described its members as exceptionally distressed by the encounter.
The account adds a revealing dimension to the commercial negotiations we have been tracking. The proposed Lukoil asset sale, Novatek's involvement in an Alaska LNG venture, the broader US-Russia list of business opportunities reported by the Financial Times, and now the proposed restoration of Russian energy transit through Ukraine all point to the prominence of energy deals in Washington's diplomatic approach.
These are separate proposals, with different participants and legal circumstances. But Le Monde's reporting exposes the strategic disagreement underlying them.
For Witkoff, restoring commercial flows appears to be part of the mechanism for producing a peace settlement. For Budanov, according to the account, those same flows threaten to restore Moscow's economic leverage over Ukraine.
The reported exchange also raises a question about sequencing: why was Kyiv being pressed to stop attacking Russian refineries while Russia continued striking Ukrainian energy infrastructure?
Le Monde's reconstruction relies on accounts of a private meeting. The reported exchanges have not been independently confirmed by the participants.

I’ve just now gotten around to reading @FrancesWiddows1’s statement of claim in her law suit against @uLethbridge. Of all the appalling actions performed by the university administrators, I think the two most despicable are (1) *congratulating* the students who mobbed Widdowson, and (2) the utterly creepy “cleansing” ceremony the school performed to sanitize their premises of (as they apparently see it) ideologically diseased interlopers. The entire school comes off as some kind of cultish compound trying to punish heretics.

Yesterday, Putin revealed that Russian authorities are "in close touch" with Elon Musk about the technology Ukraine needs to defend itself.
Our new report @TheAtlantic investigates how @elonmusk went from supporting Ukraine to coordinating with Moscow.

A corrupt Trump administration has maliciously refused the courageous people of Ukraine the tools they need for self-defense.
A Russian drone hit two trains stopped at a station in central Ukraine, killing at least 13 people and injuring 10 others, officials said. apnews.com/article/russia-uk…

A normal railway station, like anywhere in the world. People wait for their train. And then a 🇷🇺 Shahed drone kills them.
At least 13 dead after today’s attack on 🇺🇦 Dnipro railway station. Another war crime by 🇷🇺.

This was deeply disturbing to watch. Most of the audience invited to chant “Fuck Israel”, “Free Palestine” and “Fuck Zionists” have little understanding of the history behind the conflict, Israel or Palestine.
What should be a worldwide campaign for a peaceful solution increasingly looks like a cult movement consumed by inciting hatred against a whole country and Jewish people.
The scenes were chilling, with an unsettling echo of the Hitler Youth rallies of the Second World War.

An unprecedented development by Pakistan to close its airspace to Taiwanese airlines under its so-called "One China" policy, which in reality is more aligned to Beijing's "One China Principle" in this particular case.
It's unclear if Islamabad made this decision unilaterally, but given its close relationship with Beijing, it could be another concerning precedent where countries with close relationship to China weaponize access to airspace to squeeze Taiwan's international space.

I analyzed hundreds of tweets from this past weekend and found evidence of two unique disinformation campaigns amplifying Elon Musk’s accusations against Ukraine. One of these campaigns can be traced back to a Russian social media account and one of Putin’s top allies.

China's secret police have detained you.
You are hooded or blindfolded, handcuffed, abducted to a secret location, locked in a padded cell, and threatened with severe punishment for "harming China".

We had last night in Dublin an Irish musical version of one of the Nuremberg Rallies of the 1930s.
Manipulated, indoctrinated, excited young people, who know little of the history & complexity of Israel/Palestinian conflict, the demonic slaughter that took place at the Nova Music festival, Hamas promises to repeat it & Hamas refusing to disarm & obstructing a UN sanctioned peace process, drinking the Cool Aid of Israel & Jew Hate.
All hidden behind a beguiling “ Free Palestine” slogan that calls for the eradication of the worlds only Jewish state & either the extermination of 8 million Jewish Israelis, half of world Jewry, or their expulsion to an unknown destination.
And I once wondered how come the vast majority of Germans adopted, embraced & celebrated Hitlers Jew hating Nazi ideology during the 1930s. The exuberant excitement & dancing at Dublin’s 3 Arena gives all the insight required to understand it all.
And, of course, RTE promoted the event not only on the Late Late Show but also on its news website & following its conclusion gave it an ecstatic news slot on Radio One’s Morning Ireland.
A public service insight into today’s Ireland.

A completely immorally surreal scene in Lyon: France 🇫🇷
A woman begs the rioters to put out the fire they set at the entrance to the building where children are trapped because the firefighters are blocked further down the street by barricades they erected. The protester tells her, "I don't give a damn, we're young, we want rights."

McGill’s law school receives roughly 1,500 applications for just 180 spots.
It gave one of those spots to a convicted murderer in his mid-60s, who will never pass the good character requirements to practice, and who violated his parole multiple times.

Here's CBC in one headline.
The "Palestinians" were actual terrorists, carrying machine guns to kill civilians with. But you'd never get that from the headline or the cutline.
They are just the worst news organization. The worst.

Everyone at @CBCNews involved in this segment reaching the airwaves should be suspended: writers, editors, producer, newsreaders should be kept away from their desks pending an investigation by @CBCOmbud
You cannot hate @CBCRadioCanada enough.
CBC deliberately inverted the story
They opened with: “Israel has closed off the West Bank after Israeli soldiers shot and killed two Palestinians near Hebron.”
The actual sequence—that two armed men from Hebron drove up, got out of the car, and opened fire on the checkpoint, triggering a 20-minute gun battle in which the attackers were killed—was buried nearly two and a half minutes in. Only then did viewers learn about the large quantity of weapons and ammunition, Israeli officials saying the pair were planning a major attack on civilians, and Hamas praising the “high-impact operation” while calling for more violence.
BBC, CNN, The Washington Post, and The Times of Israel all led with the attack itself. CBC chose not to.
This is not neutral sequencing. Leading with the Israeli response while delaying the fact that the dead men initiated a terrorist attack is a classic framing choice that makes the aggressors look like victims—days before Israel’s election @brodiefenlon
