Per Kyiv Post, Witkoff/Kushner offered Putin “frozen Russian assets held in Europe and sanctions relief in exchange for a limited energy and maritime truce.”

In other words, they have nothing to offer. Not to Ukraine, not to Iran, not to their own country, not to the world, besides their own profit disguised as patriotism.

and if the EU doesnt comply is gonna be tax the french wine at 2000%? how about the swiss chocolate at 30000%? German/Italian pharmaceuticals? (oh right the US doesnt believe in science so, how about german machine parts?).. the EU needs to shit in his soup

“The Trump administration offered Moscow major economic incentives – unfreezing up to $100B in assets, greenlighting Lukoil sales, and potash sanctions relief – to secure a limited truce. “ Kyiv demanded equal funding and defense guarantees. www.kyivpost.com/post/86720

WTF. Serious overreach and treason. Trump and his team are clearly aligned with Putin against Ukraine, against Europe and against the world. Compromised Kushner & Wickioff instead of hard core diplomats and military strategists. These two are only looking out for their own personal bottom lines.

He can't, though he attempted the same thing with Iran by surrendering unfrozen assets and sanction relief. All of that was soundly rejected by everybody else, which is why there will never be a deal with Iran.

Dirty money and politicians exist in more places we want to believe. They have nice faces. They say nice words. But they all avoid the promises they were sworn to keep.

Probably threatened Europe to take away Starlink and intelligence from Ukraine if they don’t agree to give the frozen assets back to Russia on the request of US. Extortion is their standard routine

The key problem: Washington cannot simply unfreeze Russian assets held in Europe. Roughly €210 billion is immobilized under EU law, and releasing it would require European action. Witkoff and Kushner can propose it to Putin, but they can’t deliver it on their own.

We assume he is writing to dupe his dwindling base but do those people pay as much attention to his twaddle as we do? He does this to create the 'news' cycle mayhem

The arrogance that the 🍊💩 and his cronies have to believe that whatever they want the world will bend the knee to them just so they can grift is amazing

Sanctions busters who should be prosecuted. They are trying g to get a deal for Lukoil asset purchases. And they’ll throw Europe and Ukraine under the Iron Curtain to do it. Shameful.

Gandlav: "Russia invaded Ukraine. The first country to surrender was the United States." (Michael MacKay) There are nine thousand American graves above Omaha Beach, and Europeans still bring their children there to explain what courage looks like. A whole generation of us grew up believing that

was who America was, the country that crossed an ocean to face a dictator and later stood in Berlin and told Moscow to tear down its wall. This weekend that same country asked Moscow for diesel, and threatened to cut off the weapons Ukraine fights with unless it stopped hitting Russian refineries.

It is a sad thing to watch, and it must be sadder still for Americans, whichever way they vote. The men in those graves earned a pride that cannot be inherited, only kept or lost. Today the home of the brave is in Ukraine.”

Indeed it is sadder for us Americans - the fall in 22 months - is the fastest in modern history! Hope we can rise up and repair this damage - but the ones who continually got tax cuts since 1981 - going to build obstacles- not easy but doable if the rest can unite.

Politically. He’s looking for a win, truce in Iraq, before the midterms. Makes sense. He knows he won’t get it a win with Canada. He’s got the oil for a blip on gas prices. He must be removed. Yesterday. Today’s antics are existentially dangerous.
