“Witkoff says Trump, Putin agreed to ‘robust security guarantees’ during summit”

Note the missing word: NATO. Glad to see that is now off the table and thus Trump and Putin can move forward.

Right. Which makes it more palatable for Russia, but the US a sitting duck for the Weenies intent on drawing us into war.

NATO protection without the NATO name….

Who would have thunk something so simple as that would satisfy the Russian apologists for Russias invasion of a sovereign nation. 🙄

It’s funny, when Trump said in his campaign he would pull us out, certain apologists and so called Trump supporters cheered. But when Trump makes a deal that obligates us to defend a non-NATO state in the future, the same people say, “well ok”.

It is obvious that if there is going to be a settlement, the issue of NATO membership is going to have to be finessed. This will be effectively like Ukraine is in NATO, but Putin can claim he didn't cave. But Putin will have given up on part of his overall goal: taking all of Ukraine.
