President-elect Donald Trump is considering tapping Richard Grenell, his former intelligence chief, to be a special envoy for the Russia-Ukraine conflict, according to four sources familiar with the transition plans.
Grenell, who served as Trump's ambassador to Germany and was acting director of national intelligence during Trump's 2017-2021 term, would play a key role in Trump's efforts to halt the war if he is ultimately selected for the post.
While there is currently no special envoy dedicated solely to resolving the Russia-Ukraine conflict, Trump is considering creating the role, according to the four sources, who requested anonymity to discuss internal deliberations.

During a Bloomberg roundtable in July, he advocated for the creation of "autonomous zones" as a means of settling the conflict, which began after Russia invaded Ukrainian sovereign territory. He also suggested he would not be in favor of Ukraine joining the North Atlantic Treaty Organization in the immediate future, a position he shares with many Trump allies.

I guess I am too. As long as we reiterate that we are not in favor of UKR joining NATO in any foreseeable future.
This assumes the world won’t end before Jan 20th. Biden is trying his hardest to see that happens.
><
That’s a fact. This is a seriously dangerous time and we’re going to see some bad things before Jan. 20....and after. The Deep State is pure evil and will not go lightly.
Good choice. Grennell knows DJTs mind and can communicate that to Putin and Zelensky
You’re a jackass.
Don’t be ridiculous. Hate the sin, not the sinner.
I agree. Again, hate the sin, not the sinner.
From a Christian perspective, everyone regardless of sexuality needs to repent and trust Christ.
Absolutely.
Sounds good to me I LOVE Richard Grenell he is AWESOME whatever spot Trump puts him in he will do a fantastic job
You’re a jackass.
Why, because I said he needs deliverance from homosexuality? I recognize he is an able, capable asset, but as Jesus said, what does it profit a man if he gains the whole world, but loses his soul? We all must consider eternity above all else. I’ll be 73 years old in a few weeks. This life is very, very short -— a vapor; eternity is forever.
“ Yes, but he still needs prayer to be delivered from homosexuality”

Oh, lighten up! I don’t care who he sleeps with and that is certainly NOT a part of the job description. Grenell has ALWAYS been a HARDCORE MAGA patriot and Trump loyalist. Equally important he has been FEARLESS when facing obstruction or resistance from Deep Staters - he never allowed himself to be bullied by the Deep State as so many former Trump nominees did. IMHO he’ll be a superb ambassador. Actually I was hoping he would be named to a higher position but perhaps Trump wants him to carry out Trump’s Ukraine plan first and be moved to another position later.
Good choice. Grenell will never allow himself to be bullied by CIA and State Department globalists who will try to divert him from carrying out Trump’s Ukrainian policies. And the same thing would apply to Zelenskyy and his legions of corrupt Ukrainians.
Russia doesn’t like him.
Maria Zakharova (July 2024):
“An aide to former US President Donald Trump, Richard Grenell, proposed the creation of autonomous zones in Ukraine.
Where were you, Rick, when the Minsk agreements dedicated to exactly this were on the international community’s table, and Russia was doing everything possible in support of them and calling for a search for a form of federalization of Ukraine to preserve its integrity?
Then you were the US ambassador in Berlin and called on the Germans to abandon the construction of the Nord Stream gas pipeline, grossly interfering in the internal affairs of Russia and Germany.
Now the Germans are without gas and the economy, and the Ukrainians are without a country and a stable future.”

A tough issue that needs a clear thinking experienced representative of MAGA to settle the killing.
He smart, talented, and MAGA though and through.
He also has the confidence of our PDJT, The GOAT.
Good choice. And when done there, it will free him up for lots of coming Get-er-Done jobs that will arise.
A homo shouldn’t be allowed to have any kind of political power but there are also far worse picks.
“ Russia doesn’t like him.”

I don’t care… I do and, clearly, Trump does. I do predict that Zelensky and you will not be liking many of the things he’ll be carrying out to ADVANCE AMERICAN INTERESTS. Of course you won’t like that.
I agree he’s highly qualified and effective. I do not object to his appointment. But in the end, we all have to stand before God. All have sinned and come short of the glory of God. That includes me and you and every single person. If anyone can show me in the Bible where homosexuality is okay, I’m listening. No sin is acceptable, yet we all sin. Some sins are worse than others. I would that every person can come before the LORD in a state of forgiveness, but you cannot be forgiven if you refuse to admit your sin.
You’re a 73 year old jackass.
And you’re just plain rude.
I’m rude? You’re the guy who’s more interested in whom the nominee sleeps with than in his qualifications for the job.
