Kremlin says there's 'nothing' for #Russia in #US ceasefire idea for #Ukraine
#Putin's top foreign policy aide said on Thursday a 30-day ceasefire proposed by the #UnitedStates to pause the war in Ukraine would give Russia "nothing" while gifting Kyiv's forces a much-needed battlefield respite.

#Trump's special envoy Steve Witkoff arrived in Moscow on Thurs for talks. Russian officials said US #NationalSecurity adviser #MikeWaltz had provided details on the ceasefire idea on Wednesday & #Russia was ready to discuss it.
Trump had said in the White House on Wednesday that he hoped the Kremlin would agree to the #US proposal for a 30-day ceasefire that #Ukraine said it would support.
Yuri Ushakov, a fmr ambassador to Washington who speaks for #Putin on major #ForeignPolicy issues, told RT that he had spoken to Waltz on Wed to outline #Russia's position on the #ceasefire.
"I stated our position that this is nothing other than a temporary respite for the Ukrainian military, nothing more," Ushakov said.
"It gives us nothing. It only gives the Ukrainians an opportunity to regroup, gain strength & to continue the same thing," he added.

"In his own twisted way, Donald Trump has become a unifying figure. He’s more politically divisive than ever, but his outright attacks on liberal democracy everywhere have managed to rally America’s traditional allies against a common threat — one he sees when he looks in the mirror."

""In 2025 the Republicans in charge of the United States of America are not the conservatives they call themselves; they are the dangerous ideological radicals [Edmund] Burke feared. They are abruptly dismantling a government that has kept the United States relatively prosperous, secure, and healthy for the past 80 years."

They absolutely will. In fact they will harden in their "belief" in MAGA. No doubt in my mind about that.
Any strategy counting on getting people to un-MAGA by feeding them information and hoping they will flipflop is a failing strategy.
Only strategy is mass pushback from bottom-up by the nonbelievers.

Made a #MNTReform kernel for #Guix ... and used my MNT Reform2 rk3588 to build the kernel and successfully booted to #Debian !
With 32GB of ram, 8 moderately fast arm64 cores and an NVMe disk, it seems quite viable to run Guix.
Probably still missing some functionality, but the screen, mouse, keyboard, ethernet all work, at least!
git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix…
Thanks @josch for organizing those patches so nicely for the reform-debian-packages repository!

An ostensibly complete #Guix System #MNTReform rk3588 configuration:
codeberg.org/vagrantc/mnt-refo…
caveats:
It could use workarounds from source.mnt.re/reform/reform-to… in particular to get ethernet working more reliably.
It does build a full working u-boot image, but does not actually install it directly, that requires a manual step:
sudo dd if=u-boot-rockchip.bin of=/dev/sdX seek=64
I took a leap of faith and installed it directly to eMMC and was lucky enough to not regret it. :)
