Trump's war mediation: 8 months of shifting between Ukraine, Russia

U.S. President Donald Trump's role in mediating Russia's war against Ukraine appears to be stuck in a loop — one defined by reversals, contradictions, and shifts in tone between Kyiv and Moscow. After meeting President Volodymyr Zelensky in September, the U.S. president appeared confident that Ukraine could reclaim its Russian-occupied territories. "I think Ukraine, with the support of the European Union, is in a position to fight and win all of Ukraine back in its original form," Trump wrote

An easy but insufficient explanation for the wild #reversals is that this is just Trump being #trump a creature of the news cycle, whose attention is captured by horrific #pictures emanating from a #warzone on a Monday but whose opportunistic cynicism causes him to take an entirely different stance a few days later when he senses an opening in a hard-fought negotiation.

Geodynamo reversals simulated with a rare event algorithm

Geomagnetic reversals are rare events. Simulations must run for long times to catch such events. Long simulations can only be performed at unrealistic parameters, which questions their relevance to the Earth. Here, we use a rare event algorithm called Adaptive Multilevel Splitting (AMS) to simulate many reversals at a small fraction (1/25) of the cost of a naive simulation. Although we are still not able to reach fully realistic parameters, we operate at high magnetic field strength, vigorous convection, and large magnetic Reynolds number (Rm ∼ 600). Invariably, the simulated reversals MAGNETIC FIELD DURING A REVERSAL imply a collapse of the dipole amplitude together with the total magnetic energy in the core. The dipole may then grow in the opposite direction. With many simulated reversals, we can hope for a statistically significant description of the typical reversal behaviour and mechanisms. However, using the AMS algorithm efficiently at low viscosity is still challenging as it requires simulations of many advective time-scales.
