"Nuclear weapons for Nordic countries" – good to see such discussions. However, any new nuclear umbrella that may materialise should cover the Baltic states.
Also, the premise that it's unrealistic for eastern flank states to obtain nuclear weapons is wrong.

Nuclear weapons for Nordic countries
Europe is entering a decisive moment: relying solely on the American nuclear umbrella no longer appears credible, yet building its own deterrent may be the only way to keep Russia in check. The debate...

If Ukraine actually gave up Donbas (which is simply not feasible and almost certainly won't happen), this would go down on history as one of the biggest mistakes ever made. It would not lead to peace, Russia would keep attacking, just from a much better starting position.

Witkoff is playing Trump like a puppet. Just read the transcript.
The question is, who is mastering #Witkoff?
Russians, of course, but who in the US? Vance? Thiel? 🤷🏻♂️
Don't say that he is acting alone, not buying it.
Other question: who is now frying him? (I would like to thank that person)

Until Trump became President the USA had never legally supported reducing the size of a democracy in favor of a dictatorship. That era is now over--and what it means for the future is ominous.

One thing that is not getting enough attention is that Trump has normalized the idea of the United States supporting the transfer of territory and millions of people from a democracy to a dictatorship.
The ending of freedom for millions is now the official US position.

The picture that read "Russia is not my enemy" was shared by Cécilia Attias, former spouse of Nicolas Sarkozy — the same one who vetoed Ukraine's NATO membership and who has also recently been released from prison.
It is safe to say that she does not support Ukrainian women.

I’d be very surprised if this leads to anything at all. Latest effort by Witkoff to bounce administration to bounce Ukraine into a deal they won’t accept.
Seems to be what TASS is saying too...
As if the Kremlin has been taken by surprise by Witkoff's "deal."
Very odd. /1
