Elon Musk's GROK analyses the text of the 21-point plan released by the Trump White House and concludes that it is clear this document was drafted in Russian and translated very poorly into English. Which is exactly what I thought when I read it.

An essential point. One of the major achievements for the Kremlin in "Trump's" peace plan is that it positions the US as an intermediary between the Kremlin and NATO, no longer as NATO's leader. This is completely nuts from a US national security perspective.
Future historians might want to reconstruct when NATO ceased to exist IN ITS TRANSATLANTIC FORM.
Here’s a hint. Look at this passage of the Ukraine „peace plan“. The US will act as a „mediator“ between NATO and Russia.
As if they were no longer the lead nation.

It's déjà vu all over again. After publicly protesting that he was souring on the Kremlin, Trump again allows Putin to script a peace proposal and stamps his name on it. Then he puts a gun to Ukraine's head to sign it immediately.
