It certainly is. No where in the Politico article does it say Trump is negotiating with Putin. He's pretty busy trying to stay out of jail, the last I looked. I understand this entire plan is a Richard Haas (CFR) concoction that he's been trying to sell for more than a year. He's simply dangling it under Trump's nose in hopes it gets publicity, which it just did. And to that effort I say thank you, Mr Haas. I wish there were a hundred more peace seekers like him. Williams is simply too thick to see the obvious.
What gives them away as Trolls, at this point, is that they FULLY UNDERSTAND that the Ukraine War ends with us discussion a clear-cut Russian victory, or none of us ever discuss anything again on FR, as an EMP (or worse) puts us all out of business.
Considering they know all that, because they are not dumb, the only rational conclusion is that they are here to Troll us.
