There should be no such thing as a “Munich Security Conference”.

Vance and Hegseth expected to unveil US plans for Ukraine

US government officials are continuing their visit to Europe as frictions between the two allies grow following controversial comments on Ukraine.

Vice President JD Vance has now arrived in Munich where he met Nato Secretary General Mark Rutte and is expected to present US plans to end the war in Ukraine later today.

The conversation will include Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy and U.S. Republican Senator Lindsey Graham, among others.

The Munich conference is the facade where Zelensky, the neocons (including Kellogg and Linda), and the Euros think something is happening. The real negotiations occurred in the 90-minute phone call between Trump and Putin and Witkoff's visit to Moscow.

There should be no such thing as a “Munich Security Conference”.

Anoher “peace in our time” moment?

Okay, hold the conference in Wannsee.

Gabbard will soon get the right people fired and accurate info about the war to Trump and Congress.

This will happen simultaneously with the budget conversation. Trump will decide if another $100+ billion dollars can be sent or if it is squandering.

These conferences are for show. Nobody’s mind is going to be changed because Trump came to power. The numbers will decide it all. They will do so bluntly because that is his style.

hehe. Could Europe afford to move it’s army outside their respective Muslim saturated countries? Wouldn’t they just take the county while those who defend it are away, like malicious squatter their government can no longer evict and can no longer walk out on the streets to say anything against?
