The Putin-emulating Malignant Fascist is busy undermining Ukrainian democracy to cut a deal with his Kremlin friends to end the war. In the meantime he's cutting out our front like allies and the rest of NATO who see the existential threat that an expansionist, fascist Russia under war criminal Vladimir Putin represents. Phillips O'Brien writes in his Substack page that earlier suppositions in the media that wealthy, feckless New York real estate businessman and friend of the MF Steve "Dim Philby" Witcoff was "freelancing" the latest pro-Kremlin "peace" plan. It's clear now that Witcoff was merely a courier for the MF:
"It is important that people understand that this deal is Trump’s because of one thing. We now have evidence of exactly what Trump would like to see in a deal to end the war. For months there has been speculation, rumor, wild conjecture about what Trump wanted. Was he getting angry with Putin? Was he going to support Ukraine? Was he wanting to work with Europe? Now we know and the picture is not pretty.
Trump wants a peace deal that rewards Putin and punishes Ukraine. He wants a peace deal with no European input and which he can impose on Ukraine. He wants to get back to business with Putin as soon as possible and start making money. In sum, he does not care about democracy or freedom, indeed Trump wants to punish both. He wants to work with and reward a dictatorship—and now, finally, the media must acknowledge that." (our emphasis)
The MF has given Ukraine until Thanksgiving to respond to the capitulation offer. We don't know yet if Congress will seek to block him, or if the voices in NATO that he "listens" to (e.g., the UK, Germany) will make him toughen the plan for Russia, and include Ukraine in any future negotiations. Including others in developing a peace plan is highly unlikely for the MF, because he not only wants a quick fix that benefits him financially and politically, he sees himself as a master negotiator / dealmaker, still imagining a Nobel Peace Prize, even if it means a Neville Chamberlain-style appeasement of the Kremlin (who'll be planning the next attack before the ink dries on the agreement).
Ukraine has to walk a fine line not to enrage the narcissistic and impatient MF, but has to reject this literal suicide pact.
