Kind of amazing how many analysts and scholars wasted 100 000s of wordcount worth of credibility in taking the incoherent flailing of an incompetent administration that is rapidly paralysing the US seriously

The US doesn't actually have a govrernment, it's more like a bankrupt business being asset-stripped by the administrators.

I'm starting to see it as true Trump Derangement Syndrom - they hallucinate a version of Trump that they could live with

Tbf European governments had tactical reasons for pretending to take it seriously, and as a result the water got muddied.

That is fair. But also one would think political journalists from the largest democracy in the world would have a better understanding of basic diplomacy

I'm afraid that's generally what *political journalists* are like. They copy and paste press releases. Tbf they're busy people.

We have some pretty good ones in Canada. In fact, for us, they are often the best journalists. At least it was the case when I was in journalism school Chrystia Freeland, our first female deputy Prime Minister, is a great example. www.thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/en/article/c...

The media’s unwavering normalisation of this shambles of an administration is beyond the pale.

Does anyone actually believe that Trump’s efforts were anything more than grotesque theatre meant to convince members of his cult that he wasn’t Putin’s puppet?

Pushing Trump more will lead to only more pressure from US on Ukraine and not on Russia. It should have been obvious by now

She has been strange from the beginning. Maybe her actual work is more nuanced, but the majority of her social media output seems laser-focused on lording it over the emotional plebs for being too dumb to understand Trump's 6D chess like she does. A Trump versteher in the wild if you will

Considering he did absolutely nothing, "stepping back from negotiations" won't free up that much time

Translation: Because the Nobel Peace Prize is out of reach (also since that unflattering comment by Modi), our Fuhrer has decided that his master can go along without him, which was the plan all along anyway. And we still want to see the Epstein Files.

The fact so many national US and also some international media outlets refuse to acknowledge that is just fucking stupid. It's like the fact that a US admin is completely inept at doing anything properly outside of graft does not compute for them even though it's obviously true.

Oh good, please step back. It must be confusing for the WH because European leaders keep asking the US to get involved. The thing is, Europeans don't want these United States. They want a fantasy version of the United States so they can step back and avoid taking responsibility.

Trump could've looked tougher than Biden and authorized more long-range missiles and aircraft for Ukraine to continue punching back at Russia, as they should. Now? Trump reveals once again his incompetence and incapacity to compete on the world stage, just as Kamala (and everyone) predicted.

Pretty obvious that Trump's not actually interested in peace and is only really interested in the appearance of success so he can keep up his 'Trump the Peacemaker' schtick.

He wants a 'peace deal' so Alfred Nobel can rise from the grave and say, with tears in his eyes, "Sir! You have brought miraculous peace! Peace in our time! You get every Prize!"
