#TheDeal - 🙃 Trump argues Ukraine:
👉 Gave up old territory because they didn’t fight for it ("without a shot being fired").
👉 Should give up new territory to stop fighting for it ("soldiers dying for no reason whatsoever").

#TheDeal - ‼️ This draft for a deal doesn't secure #Ukraine.
🐺 🥩 🩸 #Trump and #Vance feeding the predator #Putin slices of Ukraine will not slow his appetite for full control of Ukraine.
⛔ 🤝 No deal! #Appeasement towards an #aggressor has never brought lasting peace.
#TheDeal - ⌛ is running out of time.
#Rubio: "President Donald #Trump was still interested in a deal but had many other priorities around the world and was willing to move on unless there are signs of progress."
No deal?!
#Ukraine #Russia

#TimWu: "…more important than #thedeal itself is the approach. It hints at a new era in economic policy for the United States that is centered on a paramount leader (Mr. #Trump) actively picking winners and losers. To be sure, the federal government, usually by way of Congress, has previously practiced #industrialpolicy. But the #centralization of policy in the president would be something different: more like a command economy, which in the United States might be called #commandcapitalism."
#TheDeal - 👀 is #TrumpAdministration falling for the Russian siren song of negotiated solutions as part of a Russian Negotiation Theatre.
"Empirically, the Kremlin follows a clear playbook:
1️⃣ Create a problem
2️⃣ Force the international community to devise a "solution"
3️⃣ Ensure Russia is part of this "solution" without accountability
4️⃣ Make the West believe Russia's participation is a concession requiring nurturing
5️⃣ Drag out the process until it becomes the focus"
#TheDeal - 💪 “Nu kan USA sige, ok, nu har i lært det, I er afhængige af os, skal vi snakke engang til? På den måde bliver det pengeafpresning. Det minder om mafiametoder,” siger Ole Wæver.
‼️ “En meget værre aftale end den, der lå klar til underskrift i Washington”.

#TheDeal - 🤫 Don't mention the war.
Trump silences voices documenting war crimes.
The Trump administration has shut down Yale's crucial project, erasing accountability for Putin's war crimes.
Researchers documented over 30,000 Ukrainian children displaced to Russia.
#TheDeal - 🔫 "Når Ukraines præsident Volodymyr Zelenskyj har udtalt sig positivt om den ny aftale, er det, fordi han har haft pistolen for panden. Zelenskyj ved godt, at han ikke kan klare sig uden USA’s hjælp til efterretninger og våben – i hvert fald ikke som det er lige nu," skriver Matias Seidelin i sin analyse.
Han har desværre nok ret?

"De ser folk som passive masser, der skal manipuleres og kontrolleres – drevet af primitive instinkter og med den evige risiko, at nogen griber initiativet og manipulerer dem bedre."

By Carcharodon
Well, goodness. It’s been a while since I last sat my ass down to write a review.1 Now, there were Important Reasons for some of this (and other, less AMG-related, reasons for the rest). Unlike me, Aaron Turner is not someone you could accuse of having a shabby work ethic. Best known as the frontman of post-metal legends Isis, Turner has numerous current and past bands, as well as having founded Hydra Head Records and more. He has fronted atmospheric sludge trio Sumac for a decade now and, somewhat remarkably, the band’s line-up has stayed consistent for that period too, with Turner joined by bassist Brian Cook (Russian Circles, Botch) and drummer Nick Yacyshyn (Baptists). Their 2015 debut, The Deal, got a very positive review here from, of all people, Dr. A.N. Grier. Less surprisingly, Sumac’s third outing,2 Love in Shadow, was showered with praise by the reviewer formerly known as Akerblogger, who described it as “unique and undeniably powerful.”
Sticking with our tradition of reviewing every other Sumac record,3 I am here to help you digest fifth album, The Healer.4 This gargantuan record is healing in much the same way a serious car crash, followed by a prolonged and medically induced coma, is healing. Sumac’s longest outing to date, The Healer is a sprawling affair, as wandering, static-laced noise, introspective warblings and languid, dawdling melodies swirl and eddy around bludgeoning, rough-hewn sludge. This will come as no surprise to fans of Sumac. Their work is an experience, and one you have to allow to wash over you and pull you under. Like the tide coming in, The Healer surrounds and submerges you, before washing you away to distant shores, where it leaves you broken on the rocks. It sets out to explore the parallel experiences of creation and destruction, emphasizing periods of expansion and contraction, corruption and regrowth. Comprising only four “songs,” and clocking in at 76 minutes, Sumac allows this album to breathe.
Opener “World of Light” is already six minutes old before drawn-out electronica, static, and free-form drum fills are joined in the mix by something resembling a riff and Turner’s trademark, sulphuric roar. For over 25 minutes, this first track slides in and out of focus, as sonorous notes are left to hang in the air. Sometimes these fade off into the ether, sometimes they are replaced by a surprisingly clean, melodic note, at others still you slam into an abrupt wall of sludge. In some ways, The Healer is like a more melodic, less unrelentingly bleak, version of Old Man Gloom’s No. It’s the album’s middle two cuts—each just shy of 13 minutes long—that particularly showcase this. “Yellow Dawn” opens to ponderous percussion and rising reverb, which gradually opens up into a bluesy guitar line that recalls, of all things, the opening to Kyuss’ “Whitewater.” Unlike that track, however, which builds into a stoner blues classic, “Yellow Dawn” morphs into a jagged, unrelenting sledgehammer, that slams into you, over and over. “New Rites” has more overtly sludgy overtones from the outset but gradually descends into full-blown chaos and cacophony as it progresses, with Sumac slowly hauling its scattered pieces back together at its conclusion.
The Healer’s closer, “The Stone’s Turn,” is another 25-minute beast, which opens as its counterpart, opener “World of Light”, finished: raw and crushing. More ponderous, contemplative notes and melodies gradually leak back in, before a bass-driven urgency overtakes and the record throws itself toward its close. This album is not an easy listen, but it’s a rewarding one. Not nearly as bleak as it first appears, there are deep seams of silvery melody to be mined here, if you’re willing to smash through the jagged walls of sludge, and sift the electronic slag. Cook’s bass is instrumental in providing something vaguely resembling structure, while Scott Evans’ production is raw and organic, giving Sumac the textures and layers needed for this style to work. At only DR5, however, The Healer is loud, where perhaps just a little more sonic nuance could have been deployed but this is such a minor gripe, it’s hardly worth mentioning.
If you know Sumac, The Healer will do nothing to change your current opinion of them, whatever that may be. If you’re new to Sumac, you’ll know within a few minutes whether you’re up for the ride that they’re offering. Abrasive, spiky, challenging, and curiously beautiful, The Healer’s pulsing, percussive, almost-free-form experimentation is like Isis’ Celestial on a bad acid trip. And I’m all in on this one.
