**Putin wants Trump and Xi to help him divide Ukraine.** **Putin proposes a summit with Trump and Xi to discuss an agreement on Ukraine** *Zelensky would not be included in the proposed negotiations, as the Russian leader seeks to negotiate an end to the war on terms favorable to Moscow.* The Russian president, Vladimir Putin, proposed that he, President Trump, and Chinese leader Xi Jinping meet next month to talk about Ukraine, in an attempt to negotiate an end to the four-year conflict on terms favorable to Moscow, according to people familiar with the discussions. The plan represents Putin's effort to capitalize on the rapprochement between Trump and the Russian leader, which has alarmed Ukraine and its allies in Washington and Europe. A summit of this kind — without the participation of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky — would be unprecedented and trigger alarms in European capitals and elsewhere. ## What's at stake The proposal would reportedly take place on the sidelines of the APEC summit in Shenzhen, China, on November 18–19. Putin is said to have floated the idea in a phone call with Trump on October 9; Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov confirmed that talks about a possible meeting are underway, but without an agenda or agreement defined. The central point is not just "ending the war": it's **who decides the future of Ukraine**. Excluding Zelensky — and, implicitly, the European Union — would transform peace into an agreement among powers over territory, security, and spheres of influence, rather than negotiations with the invaded country. ## Critique of Putin Putin is trying to convert the invasion into a negotiation of great powers. By proposing a sort of "new Yalta," he seeks three gains: to legitimize Russia's territorial gains, to divide Western allies, and to present Russia as an equal partner to the U.S. and China. His logic is cynical: a country that launched an aggressive war wants the victims and European neighbors to be mere objects of decision. Any "peace" shaped without Kyiv will have little legitimacy and low chances of lasting because Ukraine will continue to have the capacity and will to resist. ## Critique of Trump Trump may not have accepted the summit yet, but his reluctance to immediately refuse is dangerous. By leaving the door open for a meeting without Zelensky, he risks validating Putin's premise: that Ukraine's fate can be resolved by Washington, Moscow, and Beijing. There is also a serious contradiction: Trump presents himself as the man capable of "ending the war," but a hasty peace that rewards aggression would not be peace — it would be a pause that encourages the next invasion. And the report of a potential agreement on Russian diesel, arising in the same conversation, reinforces the perception that economic and personal interests may weigh more than European security. ## Critique of Xi Xi stands to gain a lot by accepting to host or mediate: it places China at the center of the reorganization of European security without bearing the cost of war. However, his neutrality is fictitious; Beijing maintained close economic and political ties with Moscow during the invasion and has an interest in weakening American influence in Europe. If Xi participates in a format that excludes Ukraine, he will cease to be a mediator and become a co-author of a geopolitical arrangement. This would be especially serious for Central and Eastern European countries, which view the defense of Ukraine as a matter of principle and their own security. ## The decisive test A conference can only be legitimate if it includes Ukraine as a participant with full veto rights and involves the European partners who finance and support its defense. Without this, it is not diplomacy: it is an attempt to **divide influence at the expense of a sovereign country**. https://www.wsj.com/world/russia/putin-floats-a-summit-with-trump-and-xi-to-de (translated)

Krystian Kamiński described the situation in the Lubusz Voivodeship as an example of the actions of Donald Tusk's coalition. He wrote that the governor from the Civic Platform handed a medal for contributions to education and upbringing to the marshal of the voivodeship from the same party, which he commented on as awarding honors to "his own." He characterized the entire situation as a parody of a western. https://t.co/2Xu1GXrT6Q #Polityka #Lubusz #Koalicja (translated)

Xico Graziano said that Lula's successive promises reminded him of Paulo Maluf's campaign for the government of São Paulo in 1998, when Mário Covas was running for reelection. According to Graziano, Maluf's campaign massively and repetitively promoted works carried out during his terms as mayor and governor, from 1979 to 1982, at a time without the internet. He stated that the exaggerated marketing became a subject of mockery and gave rise to parodies. Graziano reported that a large billboard at the entrance to Santos, at the junction to Praia Grande, mocked the campaign by attributing the Atlantic Ocean to Maluf. He said that the photograph of the sign circulated in newspapers and had a demoralizing effect on the candidate, who lost to Covas. In Graziano's assessment, the electorate perceived when attempts were made to mislead them, even in the face of needs. He compared Lula's last-minute promises to jokes and said that the effect of those promises on the voters would still be seen. #Lula #PolíticaBrasil #Eleições2024 (translated)

Marek Markowski wrote that he saw female officers weighing, as he stated, 60 kg, who were sitting in police cars with phones in their hands.

Antonio Tabet described a publication as biting satire and humorous criticism of a political agent who, according to him, should endure being the target of public mockery. He stated that humor and freedom of expression were protected by the Constitution, by ADPF 130, and by ADI 4451, and said he had seen the content on Gustavo Vilela's Instagram. Tabet added that the visual joke with musical parody did not mean that the Bolsonaro family was the family linked to militias that he might have mentioned before. In the end, he stated that the text had been written by his legal team to avoid further censorship. #Sátira #LiberdadeDeExpressão #Humor (translated)

The Black List Pro expressed outrage, stating that someone had spent two generations building a place and had gathered many animals that were visited daily by hundreds of people, among others, to see the camel. The author claimed that he later learned that the animals were to go to Michał from the Karmel Foundation, and criticized the fact that the camels were to be taken over by someone associated with dogs. He described the entire situation as a "parody of justice." https://t.co/QUfTLUGOxC #parodia #sprawiedliwość #zwierzęta (translated)

Adam Łanoszka wrote that his team accepted the defeat with humility, and the statistics indicated a draw. According to him, the outcome was decided by details and poor stamps on documents that were sought after forcefully. He announced a continued fight and praised the players for their commitment. In the context of the fans, he described the competitions as a parody. #pożegnanie #zdobywcy #walka (translated)

The commentator wrote that Monika Piątkowska thanked Donald Tusk, Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz, and government representatives after the defeat, who — as the author put it — instead of fulfilling their duties came to Kraków to campaign with her.

Filip Zator claimed that Kołodziejczak offered his victim 10, 20, or 30 thousand zlotys or a job in exchange for silence. He also accused him of links to sex tapes, attempted bribery, administering drugs without consent, and treating women as objects. He predicted that Tusk would quickly remove him from the party. Zator criticized the silence of the "democratic" media, mentioning Gozdyra, Wielowieyska, Długosz, Dziubka, Wit, and Michalski. He assessed that they discredited themselves as journalists and accused them of only caring about the harm to women when their colleague was attacked. #Kołodziejczak #przekupstwo #media (translated)

Max Hübner wrote that Tusk was desperately using tragedies in schools to promote his bill, while also revealing his attitude towards censorship in Poland. Hübner quoted his words that he doesn't care if some call the regulations censorship. He deemed the choice of words very inappropriate and described the situation as a sick parody. https://t.co/y30WXUHXJt #Polska #cenzura #tragedia (translated)

The Meconios said that, although the attention was focused on Mari Carmen, it was also necessary to denounce that YouTube had removed a parody of Sánchez and Mohamed. The group encouraged its followers to spread it. https://t.co/XLBfKpRyXv #YouTube #LibertadDeExpresión #Denuncia (translated)

Jane argued that some people had taken Leo DiCaprio's song "the wrong way" or seriously. She explained that, according to her, it was a parody of streamers aimed at the audience that had followed the series, and that its phrases referred to situations that occurred in it. She added that those who had not seen it would not understand the references and used derogatory language when addressing those people. #parodia #streamers #referencias (translated)

I'll give you an example of how the law does apply to memes, based on the explanation of @LuisaAlcalde. Does it sound silly? Yes, but that's why they left it open to interpretation and with prosecution by office. It was always in their hands to add a "this does not include parody." https://t.co/SXX1zyo8pX #memes #ley #parodia (translated)

Marcin Dobski chce być uznawany za niezłomnego dziennikarza, rozliczającego innych wojownika. Problem w tym, że jego własna lista kompromitacji jest dłuższa niż niejedna teczka w IPN, którą chętnie otwiera cudzym kosztem. Publicznie znane są fakty, a nie tylko internetowe wrzuty. W 2018 roku został skazany za posiadanie narkotyków. Sąd wymierzył mu prace społeczne. Prac nie wykonał. Karę zamieniono na 89 dni pozbawienia wolności. Trafił do aresztu. To nie była „nagonka”, to wyrok i kara za głupotę. Mechanizm Dobskiego jest stały, najpierw kompromitacja, np. bieganie nago, namawianie kur...y na analne perwersje, pijackie awantury, następnie krótkotrwała skrucha, użalanie się nad sobą i bajeczka o walce z demonami, chorobami i podstępnymi nałogami, płacz i histeria, a na koniec narracja o spisku i zrzucanie winy na służby, silnych razem, własnego psa i oczywiście Tuska Po kilku dniach od kompromitacji, Dobski znów wraca na tory swoich praktyk, ataki na dziennikarzy którzy obnażyli jego głupotę, kłamstwa brak dziennikarskiego warsztatu. Jego największy problem nie jest uzależnienie, tylko całkowite wyzbycie się wstydu i godności. Polega to na tym, że ten sam człowiek żąda od świata absolutnej przejrzystości, a sam żyje w trybie permanentnego zakłamania i szukania dla siebie wymówek i alibi. Palec zawsze skierowany jest na zewnątrz. Na tych, co go nagrali, na tych co udowodnili mu kłamstwo i manipulacje, na tych co wezwali pogotowie i policję po incydentach które sam wywołał. Na tych, co pokazali jaki z niego prostak i nieuk. Nigdy na siebie. Dobski lubi opowieść o sobie jako ofierze systemu i wojowniku z niesprawiedliwością, ale od lat nikt go tak nie odbiera. Nawet ci którzy mu płacą i wykorzystują jego słabości, uważają go za zero, godne jedynie pogardy. Tymczasem jego biografia pokazuje prostego ćpuna, uzależnionego od własnych demonów, po wyrokach, który publiczne załamania i wstyd, zamienił w oskarżenia i obwinianie innych. Ale to już dobiega końca, lada moment przestaną mu płacić, stał się parodią i pośmiewiskiem, nikt mu już nie wierzy, jego opinię nic nie znaczą, jego słowo obróciło się w gówno, więc komu jest potrzebny? Nikomu, więc po co mu płacić? Ktoś, kto nie umie rozliczyć własnego życia, nie ma moralnego prawa, by rozliczać życie innych. PS: Czy to pan Jezus dyktował ci ofertę do prostytutki? #dziennikarstwo #media #sprawiedliwość

Ojo: Javier Corral es el verdugo de la libertad de expresión, carga el hacha de morena contra ciudadanos que critiquen al régimen con un meme o una parodia, mientras él encubre narcopolíticos. Javier Corral, cómplice del narcosenador Inzunza, es opresor servil del narcopartido. https://t.co/pOomPcsRb6 #LibertadDeExpresión #Justicia #Corrupción
