How long will Europe watch as Trump tries to push Ukraine into a Russian trap and sell the world a capitulation disguised as “peace”?

Russian infiltration of the GOP has without question been the greatest intelligence victory in history. It's literally the only thing keeping the Russian government from collapse.
Russians are literally writing US foreign policy, they have more power projection in DC than in Kyiv LMAO

Utterly surreal that a key part of the pre Budget narrative from the government hasn’t been ‘Russian planes keep buzzing the Essex coast, US support for NATO is looking shaky, and thanks to the Tories our army fits in Old Trafford - that’s why we need to raise taxes’.

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.

Why are 3 Trump factions pursuing competing talks with Russia & Ukraine?
In the end, Putin will say no if Ukraine does not capitulate, & it will not, while Trump will not do anything against Putin, his favorite.
This is a waste of time.
Europe needs to finance & arm Ukraine!

It's somewhat amusing that you can pass yourself off as a Russia expert commenting on this "peace deal" as messy but at least "a way to end the war" without realising Kremlin sees it as just a tactic to continue it later.

Now we know the extent of how social media accounts expressing extremist views are often fake & coming from industrial scale troll farms in Russia ,Nigeria ,Thailand etc where is the political will to stop it ? Is government so owned by tech that the internet can just continue to be unregulated ?
Twitter pays people based on engagement (views, retweets, comments, etc). It appears that many MAGA accounts are based abroad and they use AI technology to generate low-effort rage bait.
My guess is that this will get worse as AI tech improves. For instance, fake videos of minorities doing crime.

One of the biggest hypocrisies related to the Russo-Ukrainian war is when western leaders keep repeating that borders should never be allowed to be changed by force while almost in the same sentence pushing Ukraine to accept new borders. Very few states are free from guilt here.

Starmer is clueless. He's repeating Biden's error of acting as if it is politics as usual, totally ignoring the massive international kleptofascist attack on British and Western democracy.
As with Biden, his gamble that the economy will come good is likely to fail, and then what?

Asking Farage to investigate links to Russia within his own party. Is like asking the Kray twins to investigate links to criminal behaviour within their own firm.
If only there was an independent organisation with experience of investigating criminals that Starmer could task to look into it. 🙄

The “peace plan” for Ukraine is just a framework for Russia & the US to take assets away from Ukrainian recovery, and to ensure Russia evades accountability for war crimes

Farage can now be easily boxed in to a corner where his only ‘defence’ becomes: “Yes I spouted Kremlin propaganda & Putin worship but, unlike Nathan Gill, I didn’t need bribes to do it.”

It rewards Russian lawlessness—and makes America complicit in the lawlessness.
