Summary

Trump’s envoy Steve Witkoff, in a CNN interview with Jake Tapper, failed to specify any Russian concessions in a potential Ukraine peace deal despite detailing demands on Ukraine.

After claiming a “friendship” with Putin, Witkoff spoke vaguely about “territorial” and “economic” concessions from both sides. He also claimed a U.S.-Ukraine deal on raw earth minerals would be signed soon.

When confronted with Russian state TV footage suggesting Trump’s stance aligns with Putin’s, Witkoff insisted diplomacy requires communication.

His remarks fueled concerns over Trump’s approach to Russia and Ukraine.

    Even the EU vasals have nothing to say.
    Blindly follow the leader, jump when they say. Even let them blow up their cheap gasline and ruin their economy.
    Not one peep. And now they are surprised they get no respect? LOL.
    What does this guy think he has of weight?
    His new US master will decide for him, that’s what happen when you allow your country to be used as a proxy.
    As if there weren’t enough examples of US ‘friends’ thrown under the bus.

        Frankly, it doesn’t matter how they put it. Any comment that is not praising Zelensky as the most noble leader of the free world or something, will be mercilessly criticized. They might as well just have their fun.

          That comment was not criticism of any of Zelensky’s positions or choices. It was word salad of Russian talking points.

            I didn’t say it was a critical comment about Zelensky. What I said was that anything anyone says here that is not praising Zelensky, will be criticized with a NATO talking point passion.

              What NATO talking points were used in my response or any of the responses to that comment?

                Having a different point of view does not mean they are being paid. Are you being paid by Ukraine or NATO? That is a rhetorical question, I don’t assume, not even suggest, you are.
