Flying to the US tomorrow for #ISA2025 in Chicago really does feel a little weird after today. I think after this year, I am going on a US conference hiatus for a while. Europe First!

Maybe the reason Trump can't out-negotiate Zelensky is cos Trump appointed Tulsi who leaks everything to Russia and Budanov knows everything we know so Zelensky in fact knows what we've told Trump to do before Trump does..

This is your periodic reminder that giving Russia what it wants won’t bring real peace—just more war later. Concessions would reward aggression, embolden future invasions, and destabilize Europe. Lasting peace comes from defending sovereignty, not surrendering to threats.

So - I've actually led Ebola outbreak response at USAID. This is bunk from Elon. They have laid off most of the experts, they're bankrupting most of the partner orgs, have withdrawn from WHO, and muzzled CDC. What's left is a fig-leaf effort to cover their asses politically.

1/3. It should be astonishing, though it’s not, that the American negotiators want to begin from the premise that Russia was right and that Ukraine is not sovereign. Accepting the lies of the aggressor isn’t just unethical, it’s also unstrategic.
