Hate to be the bearer of bad tidings, but this will be on Europe to end the war in Ukraine. Trump has shown he is only helping Russia stall. Tomahawks from the US were never going to happen. GERMANY - Taurus??
🇪🇺🇺🇦 European leaders apparently harbor deep distrust of the US in the peace talks with Russia and Ukraine, - SPIEGEL

Merz and Macron, in a confidential conference call with Zelenskyy and several other top European politicians, issued stark warnings that the US could betray Ukraine and Europe.

Americans shouldn’t get all pissed off when armies, terrorists, or rogue actors torture and kill Americans overseas when the President and Secretary of Defense gleefully commit war crimes and violate the laws of war and of the sea.

“There were no agreements with the Muscovites in the 19th, 20th, or 21st century, only lies, a desire to take lives, and to destroy,” said Polish President Nawrocki. He added that history offers a lesson for modern Poland: deals with Russia have never been real, and it’s a truth everyone must learn.

The president is a political cartoon of corruption come to life, a gaudy grifter who is selling off pardons and lining his pockets, building a golden ballroom and protecting his fellow sex predator elites, all the while regular Americans are suffering and struggling to make ends meet.

"I don't regard Putin as a bad guy."

- U.S. Special Envoy Steve Witkoff

This should send shivers down the spine of Republican and Democratic members of Congress alike.

It's a 'perspective' not capable of negotiating for true U.S. interests.

Trump is going to call US military members over the holidays to sit around Venezuela while he tries to negotiate with Maduro how much money to be sent to his personal bank account so the US military doesn’t attack.

Just want to remind everyone that Mike Flynn told a crowd of rabid QAnon troglodytes in no uncertain terms that the military should conduct a coup in order to reinstall Trump as an unelected dictator, and he never once was subject to the penalties that the UCMJ demands for that sort of thing

The city of Vovchansk, located on the border with Russia, has been completely destroyed, making it difficult for the Ukrainian Armed Forces to hold their positions. The situation is similar to Avdiivka or Volnovakha, where the Russians are striking with aerial bombs.
