In Case You Haven’t Been Following, Here Is A Short Summary Of The Misnamed Russian-American "peace

In case you haven’t been following, here is a short summary of the misnamed Russian-American "peace process" regarding Ukraine.

The US demands that Ukraine accept an immediate unconditional ceasefire. Ukraine agrees.

Russia rejects any talk of such a ceasefire, and instead asks for a halt on strikes on energy targets, an area where Ukraine is hurting Russia. The US agrees and Ukraine agrees.

Russia within one day violates the terms of its own proposal, attacking Ukrainian energy infrastructure along with other civilian targets. There is no US response.

Meanwhile Russia insists that the United States enforce on Ukraine Russia’s war aims, even though they are outrageous and even though Russia is not winning the war. The US agrees.

The United States also insists that Ukraine concede its mineral wealth in exchange for nothing at all.

This has not been a peace process. It has not even been appeasement. It has been the US throwing its power on Russia’s side in a war of aggression.

See photos from the nationwide protests against Trump

For the third time in a month, tens of thousands of protesters took to the streets, government buildings and the White House in a nationwide rally against the Trump administration.

Driving the news: Thursday's May Day protests fall on International Workers' Day and are calling attention to policies that affect working people, including threats to Social Security and union protections.

By the numbers: About 250,000 people had mobilized by midday on Thursday in more than 1,100 cities, by organizers' count. That's more than double what organizers expected earlier in the week.
