Summary
Trump’s envoy Steve Witkoff, in a CNN interview with Jake Tapper, failed to specify any Russian concessions in a potential Ukraine peace deal despite detailing demands on Ukraine.
After claiming a “friendship” with Putin, Witkoff spoke vaguely about “territorial” and “economic” concessions from both sides. He also claimed a U.S.-Ukraine deal on raw earth minerals would be signed soon.
When confronted with Russian state TV footage suggesting Trump’s stance aligns with Putin’s, Witkoff insisted diplomacy requires communication.
His remarks fueled concerns over Trump’s approach to Russia and Ukraine.
The US donated the most money by a wide margin lol we should fuel the war indefinitely and not opt for peace between both parties?
Granted, Trump could have said it in a more neutral manner, I don’t agree with what he said about Zelenskyy, he still has the right idea to try to offer peace rather than let it stew into a nuclear war.
You can root for Ukraine to decimate Russia all you want, but war produces dead bodies of all ages and I’m sure you’ve never seen that carnage before.
You should familiarize yourself with eastern Europe history which is basically “life is pain because my neighbor is Russia” they live horrid poor lives because the aggressor had their way.
Ukraine’s future safety is only guaranteed by signing under NATO. Otherwise Russia is simply allowed to fuck around without finding out
This is false, the EU donated more than the US. Trump says otherwise, yes, but he is lying.
Nuclear war is exactly what Trump is risking right now. Russia will go to war again if Trump gives them “peace”. Only next time, they will attack a NATO country.
I wasn’t going off Trump , I checked sites like statists and others before posting. However , his claim of 350 billion was quite an exaggeration.
We’ll just have to wait and see what happens. Trump did say one thing that made sense. There is an ocean between us and Ukraine, the EU should be more involved than the USA.
The EU is starting to ramp up their donations recently. Perhaps that was Trump’s intent. Dare we give him credit? Lol
If the US wants to be involved or not is up to you guys, that’s fair. It’s our cause, first and foremost. But what Trump is doing now is not “not getting involved”. He is actively sabotaging and siding with Russia. I’d be fine if he just shut up and minded his own business, but he is very much involved right now and even says Europe should not take part in negotiations. So on the one hand, he says it’s Europe’s cause, but on the other, he acts like it’s his his own cause. It’s once again Trump being Trump.
The path toward peace is not “let the blatant aggressor get everything they want without concessions.” Usually, if you want peace, you tell the instigator to knock it off or MAKE them knock it off. Otherwise, all that’s learned is they can do it again, consequence-free.
