The audio leak of Steve Witkoff advising the Russian side what to do, what to say and how to progress is nothing more but collaboration with Moscow, probably even more. It further confirms what I was writing on Sunday when the US Senators were actively rejected this.

Actually, we, among the soldiers, look very closely to what Zelenskyy does.
We have feeling that USA is trying to push us into a “bad deal” and this time again - Zelenskyy stands up for us and represents the will of Ukraine’s soldiers.
Soldiers disapprove Witkoff’s “peace”.

i'd say it did. the public put a group of thieves, vandals and extremists in office last november and they promptly went about destroying everything that might work to limit their ability to loot, steal and inflicting pain on the people they hate
This whole NYT account about the weaponization of DOJ is beyond disturbing. Kinda feels like the US government fell in January.
