How about focussing on "Ending the perception, and preventing the reality, of Russia as a perpetually expanding empire"?
The White House has released its new National Security strategy.
As suspected, it emphasizes the Western hemisphere.
It calls for “Ending the perception, and preventing the reality, of NATO as a perpetually expanding alliance.”
^ Sop for Putin?

This is a bold but absolutely feasible solution, which would immediately bring Pu to the negotiation table in earnest, ready to make real concessions rather than aiming to swindle and take away Ukrainian sovereignty diplomatically. Europe needs to step up before it's too late.
Former NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen has called for Europe to deploy up to 20,000 troops behind Ukraine’s front lines, establish an air shield with around 150 combat aircraft and unlock frozen Russian assets.

Hard to imagine anyone being so foolish & ill-informed as to think Putin wants a peace deal - unless by that Witkoff meant Ukrainian capitulatn. Will we ever reach the point when European leaders accept the US is now acting against Ukraine's & Europe's interests, & they must protect themselves?
“I told the president that the Russian Federation has always wanted a peace deal. That’s my belief. [...] And I believe the issue is is that we have two nations that are having a hard time coming to a compromise,” Witkoff told Kremlin aide Yuri Ushakov.

Media should be really careful not to mess up today. The big story is that russia dared send drones through NATO airspace not that NATO shot them down. Name russia as the aggressor and NATO as the defensive alliance that it is!

🧵1/6 Why Putin Won’t Meet Zelensky
Putin fears a direct confrontation with Zelensky, not because of personal danger, but because a face-to-face would expose the false narrative he’s spent years building, that Ukraine is just a pawn, and Zelensky is irrelevant. A meeting would legitimise both.

So, this is making the rounds and really -- desparately -- needs to be clarified. The TL;DR is this: Polls don't measure shifts in opinion so much as shifts in context.

What a Trump / MAGA victory looks like:
They made the largest transfer of wealth to the rich, largest cut to Medicaid & food aid in US history. And have made your Electricity bill go up by 30%. In addition millions of jobs are now ending. And more than $4 trillion will be added to the debt.

Such attacks are pure terrorism. And the whole world, the USA and Europe must finally react the way a civilized society reacts to terrorists.
