The Trump administration effectively says that no one should ever work with Americans during wartime; that our promises mean nothing, our word is dust, and we will throw our allies under the bus the moment we want.
In any future armed conflict, who would ever trust us again?

A reminder: Trump 1.0 ordered the Afghanistan withdrawal, and Trump 2.0 granted the shooter asylum this past April. Trump 2.0 also dismantled the joint terrorism task force, and gutted our national security apparatus.

We can be absolutely certain that the Witkoff leak shows only a very tiny portion of the exchange.
Witkoff is not experienced in SIGINT. He is a realtor, out of his depth and an easy mark for any intelligence service. There are certainly recordings.

From Kabul to Kyiv, Trump’s pattern is clear – negotiate with enemies, sideline allies
Australia and other partners must plainly see that America’s commitment to defending democracies is fading fast.

It’s looking more and more like Trump has run a very bad set-up scam. As I said yesterday, it’s a nothing-burger, he’s just managed to spill most of it down his shirt.

Yes, Ukraine had spent must of the war with one hand tied behind its back
It's almost like we're just pretending to be on Ukraine's side while actively working to sabotage them.
6. Repeatedly, Trump has restricted how Ukraine is allowed to use its US arms, mostly not allowing Ukraine to attack Russia proper. The US has also restricted how Ukraine is allowed to use arms given by European countries that contain US technology.

Trump wants the money. And the big prize, accompanied by lavish praise from around the world. That's the only thing he cares about.
7. Now Trump has accepted as his a "peace" proposal hatched in the Kremlin. Its two main points are:
A. Ukraine's actual capitulation to Russia;
B. US seizure of $300bn of Russian frozen state assets, mainly in Europe.

Trump envoy reportedly told Kremlin official that Ukraine must cede land for peace deal
Steve Witkoff told Yuri Ushakov in October phone call that peace would require Russia gaining control of Donetsk
Donald Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff told a senior Kremlin official last month that achieving peace in Ukraine would require Russia gaining control of Donetsk and potentially a separate territorial exchange, according to a recording of their conversation obtained by Bloomberg.
In the 14 October phone call with Yuri Ushakov, the top foreign policy aide to Russian president Vladimir Putin, Witkoff said he believed the land concessions were necessary all while advising Ushakov to congratulate Trump and frame discussions more optimistically. Continue reading...
