It looks like the #Ukraine war is about over, regardless what is said.
"Head of CBS News Is Forced Out Amid Tensions With Trump." CBS News was right in a lawsuit brought by Trump, but CBS reportedly will not defend itself in court because Trump could stop a merger that would enrich the owners of the parent company of CBS:

There is a war in #Ukraine, #negotiations in #Istanbul, so what's the problem?
There is a problem: #Putin proposes negotiations in Istanbul without stopping the #war. It’s a trap. He wants talks that push Ukraine to #surrender under the same terms rejected in 2022. His demands - disarmament, “denazification,” no #Western support - mean Ukraine's self-liquidation. No #ceasefire, no shift in goals. Just a PR stunt to confuse the #West and give cover to more violence.
“But whatever the premises of opposition may be, only the most convincing justification under accepted standards of #precedent could suffice to demonstrate that a later decision overruling the first was anything but a #surrender to #political pressure, & an unjustified repudiation of the principle on which the Court staked its #authority….So to overrule under fire in the absence of the most compelling reason to re-examine a #watershed decision would subvert the Court's #legitimacy…”

Forget Karlshorst.
Germany actually surrendered in Reims on May 7, 1945 – 80 years and a day ago today.
AP’s Ed Kennedy broke the news despite an embargo.
“The absurdity of attempting to bottle up news of such magnitude was too apparent,” he said.
But it cost him his job at AP.

#Trump’s demands for #Ukrainian #territorial concessions go too far - Germany’s defense minister
#Germany continues to support Ukraine with military aid
Tagesschau, criticised #US proposals that #Kyiv cede #territory to Russia in exchange for peace.
"Ukraine could have done that alone, just a year ago, through a #surrender"
‘Ukraine ready to #negotiate, but not #surrender,’ Deputy PM says amid strained peace efforts
“Our people will not accept a frozen conflict disguised as #peace. We will never recognize the occupation of #Crimea,” Svyrydenko said.
“And if #NATO membership is not granted, Ukraine will require binding security guarantees—ones strong enough to deter future aggression, and clear enough to ensure lasting peace.”
"This isn't negotiation, this is surrender," said Aaron Gasch Burnett, security expert and senior fellow at Democratic Strategy Initiative.
"The Russians get everything they want," he told the Kyiv Independent, adding that "the U.S. is essentially trying to negotiate Ukraine's surrender, and the U.S. is surrendering its own international leadership by doing it."

"Under pressure from DOGE, the staff of the Defense Digital Service — the Pentagon’s fast-track tech development arm — are resigning." They "pushed Silicon Valley-style innovation inside the Pentagon, built rapid response tools for the military, databases to transfer Ukrainian military and humanitarian aid, drone detection technologies":

DOGE is "not really driving efficiency. What they’re doing is smashing everything."

Trump eviscerating the legal world in the US. Fucking nightmare.
Skadden joins the New York powerhouse firm Paul Weiss in choosing to surrender to the Trump administration amid threats to their ability to access government contracts and maintain clients with such contracts. Unlike the situation with Paul Weiss, Trump did not even need to issue an executive order to get the firm to bend the knee.
Three other firms targeted by Trump — Perkins Coie, WilmerHale and Jenner & Block — have filed lawsuits challenging the orders targeting them. A federal district court judge already placed a temporary restraining order blocking Trump’s actions against Perkins Coie, saying that it “sent little chills down my spine.”

Ari Cohn: "If I were a lawyer at PaulWeissLLP, I don't know how I would take myself seriously. This is absolutely shameful and spineless behavior. Pledging legal services to broadly support any administration's agenda is gross, but especially in this very protection racket way."
