Ukraine-Verhandlungen: In den Augen von Trump und Putin stören die Europäer nur
Bei den Ukraine-Verhandlungen wollen die USA und Russland auch ihre Einflusssphären sichern. Dass Donald Trump nun selbst unter Druck steht, erhöht die Unsicherheit.

US- vs. Russia these days, it's no longer a superpower rivalry. It is not about differing values or ideologies ("democracy vs. autocracy").
It's dealmaking between an oligarchy built by ex-spies and an oligarchy run by real estate investors and tech bros.

The so-called peace negotiations between Ukraine and Russia will fail. It is inevitable. Putin‘s objective - the destruction of Ukraine (and the USA) - will never stop for as long he draws breath. He crossed the point of no return a long time ago.

Three things about the Witkoff tapes:
1) It appears Western intelligence services have decided to let Witkoff (and Trump) know they have recordings of their traitorous conversations w/Russia.
2) This Ukraine "deal" was all Witkoff's idea.
3) Congressional leaders should demand he be fired.

Witkoff Advised Russia on How to Pitch Ukraine Plan to Trump
US presidential envoy Steve Witkoff, fresh from the triumph of the Gaza peace deal, held a phone call last month with a senior Kremlin official to suggest they work together on a similar plan for Ukraine — and that Vladimir Putin should raise it with Donald Trump.

This is an official statement from Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, who is the top civilian at the Pentagon, and thus the link in the chain of command between the President and the SOUTHCOM commander, and thus the key civilian who would be giving orders in what may soon be a war with Venezuela.
Hegseth is now threatening to recall Sen. Mark Kelly to active duty in order to court martial him.
