OFFICE OF THE SPOKESPERSON APRIL 17, 2025
The below is attributable to Spokesperson Tammy Bruce:
Secretary of State Marco Rubio spoke today with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov. The Secretary conveyed to his Russian counterpart the same message the U.S. team communicated to the Ukrainian delegation and our European allies in Paris: President Trump and the United States want this war to end, and have now presented to all parties the outlines of a durable and lasting peace. The encouraging reception in Paris to the U.S. framework shows that peace is possible if all parties commit to reaching an agreement.
“The encouraging reception in Paris to the U.S. framework shows that peace is possible if all parties commit to reaching an agreement.”

Who’d-a-thunk-it, eh.
It would help things if one nation wasn’t playing bully.
Can the process become absurd enough if both Russia and Ukraine persist in insisting on too much? Absurd enough for the US to walk away? Or can the US NOT ever walk away and let them finish it themselves? Are there aspects to this not being publicized or at least being downplayed despite their absolute deal breaking importance?
Marco has surprised and impressed me so far.
(Still waiting for good signs from Pam, Kash, Brooke and Mike.)
I confess I don’t know wth is going on.
There are powerful forces that want the war continued, apparently.
.
Countries are catching on, but they don't quite have the nerve to say the real reason, which is probably a wise thing to do.

The Russo-Japanese War of 1904-1905 was settled by US President Theodore roosevelt. One side lost territory and another won territory, the way most wars end.
Ukraine is losing...that’s a fact. Now they can continue to bleed red and make Russia bleed too, or they can make peace and save lives...
President Trump wants to save lives...
Marco Rubio has been great and he is the one I was most suspicious of, at first. I really like the way he talks and his actions, so far...
Most of this video is lies. You can scroll down the comments and many have posted that most of that video is plain wrong or outright lies...
No U.S. money = war over
April 20th is coming, clownboy.
State dept says Sec of state doing sec of state stuff. Wow
