US officials are bound for Europe for top-level talks on Ukraine
AP ^ | Feb 9, 2025

President Donald Trump’s national security adviser said Sunday that top administration officials will meet with European officials this week about how to end the war in Ukraine, nearly three years after Russia launched an all-out invasion.

Vice President JD Vance will be in Paris on Monday for an artificial intelligence summit that’s gathering government officials and will head later in the week to the Munich Security Conference, where Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy will lead the battle-weary country’s delegation. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Trump’s special envoy on Ukraine and Russia, Keith Kellogg, will also be in Munich.

On Wednesday, Hegseth will join the main international forum for drumming up weapons and ammunition for Ukraine. He’s set to participate in a meeting of NATO defense ministers in Brussels the following day.

That’s ridiculous. I suppose it was just a military exercise. The Putin trolls continue to discredit themselves. Putin is a stupid dictator, but all the Putin trolls whine about is neocons.

The Putin trolls are juvenile. They carry on like seventh graders.

If the combatants are not represented, but only representatives of Ukraine allies and sponsors, then this is a meeting of allies and sponsors. To talk some more about alliances and sponsorship.

If the allies and sponsors agree to something, it still doesn't mean the war ends. Until the actual combatants are in the room, whether to sign a surrender or ceasefire or other sort of armistice, it's just more of the same.

But it will be theatrical.

Do we have a schedule for nominee votes in the Senate? Why is Vance anywhere but Washington until those are secured?

Article: In a television interview, National Security Advisor Mike Waltz said the Russian economy is not doing well and that Trump “is prepared to tax, to tariff, to sanction” Moscow to get Putin to the negotiating table.
