Jesus wept. Well I guess there goes the idea of a US backstop. We can stop talking about a coalition of the willing, it isn’t happening.
Steve Witkoff is an idiot, like Trump and the rest of this republican circus.
The UK, EU, Canada, Japan and South Korea should ignore the US… For a start.
That’s fine. Then us Europeans will make sure your deal doesn’t work and keep pumping weapons into Ukraine lol
Usa just making itself irrelevant. Last time they tried isolationism it failed. Ask the Chinese or the Japanese how it worked out for them?
The US don’t have a backbone, they’re trying to divvy up Ukraine with Russia. To think we blindly followed them into Iraq when they invoked article 5 and now they’re trying to undercut everyone with their own deal. It seems Europe want Ukraine to keep Ukraine, but the US want a piece of Ukraine. Tell me I’m wrong.
Is this really a surprise?
Always felt to me like it was getting in the way of Trump playing hero, in his mind this is HIS thing.
I honestly laughed out loud at this bit:
“Putin told him, he added, that he had prayed for Trump after an assassination attempt against him last year. He also said Putin had commissioned a portrait of the US president as a gift and Trump was “clearly touched by it”.
I mean good lord, this is like an episode of South park mixed with Idiocracy.
Of course they said that – Europe coming up with an effective solution stops both Russia AND the US getting what they want. It’s the worst case scenario for Trump that embarrasses him publicly and renders him useless privately. So we should take any of the US’ administration’s opinion on this with a huge pinch of salt.
Ok ok. This thread is missing the point, by dribbling on about Putin. USA dissed UK
But it’s not the first time. The UK American ambassador in 1939 was a defeatist too..
China are now suggesting they might want to deploy peacekeepers with the EU… How weird can things go.
This real estate investor made a quite a fool of himself in that interview. Not even arsed to learn the name of 4 regions which have been in the news non stop for 3 years.
Prepare for extortionate energy cost as America and Russia form a super global power that holds Europe to ransom. Ukraine becomes the epicentre of rare earth material crucial to the battery and electric revolution controlled by AmRus your new world energy supplier all while controlling huge fossil fuel reserves.
