"We're going to do that thing again where people go from dewey-eyed optimism to apocalyptic panic. At the risk of sounding boring and redundant the key questions to ask: Is PURL still humming along Have any sanctions been lifted Has Europe changed its tune Has Putin's position fundamentally changed (And now a bonus question:) Has US intel sharing with Ukraine on deep strikes been canceled"

"Zelensky's liability in this contest is that Trump hates him dating back to Trump's first impeachment and so he has to play the obsequious courtier at every turn lest he bring that hatred to the fore. Putin's liability is that he wants all of Ukraine thinks he can get it and holds Trump in contempt for thinking Putin wants to be his friend. This causes Putin to overplay his hand"

"Beginning to see what likely happened. Witkoff sold something Putin didn't offer in the lead-up to Anchorage and had egg on his face. Now he's pointing to this Kherson and Zap "swap" which he probably coordinated with the Kremlin beforehand to tell Trump the Russians are finally serious and all that hardball paid off. The timing of Trump's saintly penumbra as Mideast peacemaker must have helped. Here is Reuters:"

"Re: this development I wrote a few weeks ago that while Trump doesn't like war he is very taken with acts of war -- especially spectacular ones which transcend his expectations of what the attacking party is capable of. Israel did this with its Iran strikes. Ukraine did it with "Spiderweb." Hitting Russia inside Russia was always Kyiv's best play with Trump"

"More reporting coming out on the Alaska summit.
