I am shocked.
By what? What haven't you been paying attention to has caused this "shock"?
Is Trump crazy?
Yes and no. He's crazy at many things but here, he is not. He is cutting off an infected leg like a crab in order to save the body. Ukraine is an unwinnable war that just drains Western and American resources. It doesn't even matter if it is won or lost; the tech war with China matters.
He has turned into a real dictators-loving politician.
That... has always been him. He only respects people whom the West terms "dictators" because, as things turn out, those are the most dependable people to make deals with. Democracies change leaders terribly often and they don't always respect the deals made before them... oh, and their checks and balances causes them to be too slow to commit.
USA should maintain weapons flow to Ukraine until after Russia withdraws.
LOLOL Withdraws? What have you been reading? This is about giving that land to Russia permanently just begging them to stop advancing. Russia's not saying yes, either, because they know they can take more.
Giving into dictators and imperialists has never been an American thing.
It has always been America's thing. American alliances with middle-eastern kingdoms shows that America has never cared about how a country is ruled, only that its leadership is willing to submit to American leadership.
I hope Mr Trump and his team know something that we don't know
They do. They know exactly how badly America and its Western allies are broken, and cannot afford conflict with Russia and China. We can only guess from seeing the symptoms.
and USA will never make concessions to Russia.
They already have... but the Russians have yet to accept. Much more is needed because they are essentially begging Russia to negotiate and be flexible on something they are well on their way to just taking. Russia had a lot of fumbles and clumsiness at the start but that big ol' War Bear getting warmed up is a fearsome sight.

Lutnick and Bessent are pushing for universal 2.5% tariffs. Go figure.
They want to implement a sales VAT system but they are too scared to do it openly. So they go the roundabout way of putting up universal tariffs. And since most people are stupid, they won't even comprehend what's happening and j stead blame greedy businesses, Ukraine war or whatever.

Human stupidity is truly infinite

Damn, this is actually very true, I didn't realize it until now.

I was on a date night before on a weekday in secluded part of a provincial/state park, it was around midnight and I haven't seen other people/cars around for hours. We were parked in an giant empty parking lot (300 or more spots?) in front a of big lake just watching the stars after adapting our eyes to total darkness for half an hour. Then suddenly this car with full lights pulls up and parks right beside us. I thought it might have been the park services people checking up on us, but no it was just some Indians. These guys just stayed in the car and left their music and headlights on. I didn't want to find another spot and wait for our eyes to adapt again so we just left after 10 mins. I couldn't understand why those Indians parked right beside us considering there were like 20 other parking spots with identical lakefront views, but looking back now I guess it was just a tactic to get us to leave.
I think you should stop going on dates like this in the future, it's too dangerous. If something happens in a place like that, the outside world won't know about it for days or weeks. Not to mention finding you.

LOL, ByteDance investors say they will still get mega rich if TikTok USA is shutdown. They are likely losing money now because they pay US creators for contents while alienating their other 5 billion users since they don't usually get payouts for views. They also believe that the threat of a usa shutdown is preventing them from making $$$ from a IPO. So they are happy with whatever resolution.
