A clear-eyed, masterful negotiator looked at the field, came up with what he believes is the best available deal for his client (us) and the world and a posturing midget egged on by arrogant armchair warriors failed to grab it.
It was an eventful week, with the SDNY FBI office apparently defying Attorney General Pam Bondi’s demand that it turn over all its Epstein files to her. Newly confirmed FBI director Kash Patel headed over there to search the premises and interview staff to find out where they are or even if they still exist. The week ended with a blowup of what was supposed to be the signing of an agreement between the Ukraine and the U.S., a preliminary step for opening negotiations with Russia to end the war. How you view the consequences of the blowup seems like an inkblot test: If you see the U.S. abandoning a faithful ally, you probably are a Democrat. If you see Volodymyr Zelensky as an arrogant grifter who overplayed his hand you probably aren’t.
Luckily the entire meeting is available on video so you can see for yourself the context in which the last few minutes occurred. Those few minutes being the only thing most viewers saw.
Not without basis, President Trump believes that China, not Russia, is a bigger threat to this country and disengaging Russia from this fight will further our chances of drawing Putin away from alliances with China. Not without reason, the President believes the war is a meat grinder, an ongoing stalemate which could well lead to World War III if Ukraine is admitted to NATO and more weaponry and manpower from elsewhere is poured into the conflict. Not without reason, the President thinks both Russia and Ukraine have suffered substantial human and economic losses which

It seems that the Victoria Newland crew gave Zelinsky bad advice about how to deal with President Trump.
US to the rest of the planet:
We are NOT your mommy.
Grow up.
And a BTW to Europe and Ukraine...
The US managed to hold an election during the Civil War.
Capisce?
“ but instead he gave Trump and Vance the option of simply walking away from Ukraine, which they probably will.”
And they should.

Not sure what the Epstein files has to do with a story on Zelensky.
Deep States are paranoid.
None of them hire their frontmen for brains or b@lls.
It often bites Deep States on their collective butt.
But whats are despots to do? 😔
Great article.
Patel only needs a hammer and a nail to close the door on the nyfib office and fire all of them without pay or benefits. Let them concentrate on their own issues.
I agree, great article. Clarice Feldman is excellent at boiling down media BS to summarize the essence of the arguments about current events.
Ukraine would gain the most from the deal. They would have an implied security guarantee as US companies and US citizens will be there. Putin would stay away from them to avoid further sanctions and US involvement. The US actually gains little from the deal. We can’t build anything until we clear all unexploded ordinances in the areas. The infrastructure has been destroyed. Also there’s no reliable data on the rare earths. On the other hand, Putin offers his and we know he has plenty.

Foolish Zelensky.
He listened to the wrong people.
Zelinski did what his masters (the CIA, the European Commission, the WEF, etc.) told him to do. He had no choice. The last thing they want is an immediate cease fire or “peace agreement.”
As one foreign diplomat told Rubio, they want to keep the war going for at least another year, so as to “weaken Russia.”
Well, Trump wasn’t amenable, so now they have to think of something else.
Obama admin rat faced Susan Rice, Nuland, et. al., have only one goal and that is to deny Trump a peace deal. They don’t care how many more Ukrainians killed it will take to sabotage Trump.
was it “bad” advice in their eyes?
the goal was to blow up the agreement
success
