Cheers to @hcrichardson.bsky.social for citing @jonsweet.bsky.social & myself.

She is right:

‘Not only does this agreement sell out Ukraine and Europe for the benefit of Russia it explicitly separates the U.S. from NATO, a long-time goal of Putin.’

Always an honor to appear on @tvpworld.bsky.social with Anna Kalczynska. Last evening, we covered Trump’s 28-point peace plan.

As I warned yesterday, & reassert today, if agreed to it would be tantamount to Ukraine committing military & national suicide.

Hats off to the @nypost.com’s editorial board for taking this position on Donald Trump’s 28-point peace plan.

It’s anything but a plan for peace. It’s a naive call for Ukrainian capitulation & national suicide.

nypost.com/2025/11/20/o...
This Russia-Ukraine ‘peace deal’ makes zero sense on ANY front
The Post reported Wednesday that Washington and Moscow have been covertly working on a 28-point plan to bring an end to the war.

Just as President Truman & Gen. Eisenhower said no to Himmler’s peace overtures in the waning days of World War II, Donald Trump & Rubio must say Nyet to Kirill Dmitriev’s gamesmanship on behalf of Putin.

Tomorrow, at 7AM ET, at @thehill.com, Col. @jonsweet.bsky.social, U.S. Army (ret.) & I examine Trump’s alleged 28-point plan & why it is being leaked.

Clearly, as reported, it’s a nonstarter for Ukraine. Ditto NATO.

So why now?

Hint: Someone in the Kremlin is pulling a power move.

Episode 8 is out at @warpolitics24. Cheers to the production team for getting this episode out during the Cloudware software crash.

It necessitated us using our cells phones at the last second which is why the camera angles are so crazy.

Beware of Russia peace offers. Peace, for Putin, still means Ukraine’s complete & utter capitulation & submission to Moscow.

Yet again, the Kremlin is trying to get at the negotiating table what they can’t achieve on the battlefield: Ukraine’s end.

I was on @Alqaheranewst earlier today discussing why the UN Security Council Resolution for an International Stabilization Force was likely to pass.

It did.

Russia & China abstained.

There are two types of people on the battlefield: the quick & the dead. Ukraine, thus far, has been quicker.

However, as @jonsweet.bsky.social & I warn at @thehill.com, Putin’s armies have found a way to lurch forward.

It’s time for NATO to get faster.

Putin has long believed Russians & Ukrainians are one people. He uses that twisted logic to justify kidnapping Ukrainian children.

I’m past the age where, if called on, that I can physically fight wars & be of use to anyone.

But I do fight wars using words against enemies; e.g. Putin.

We went down this road with Biden over HIMARS, Abrams, ATACMS, F16s & Patriots.

There’s no excuse for Trump to take this self-defeating road re: Tomahawks.

As @jonsweet.bsky.social & I urge at the @kyivpost.com, stop Putin dangling & start deploying them to Ukraine.

Brilliant question by my good friend Don Arleth. Equally brilliant answer by Lt. Gen. Ben Hodges, U.S. Army (ret.) [@general_ben] on @TVPWorld_com.

Ukraine should take out Russia’s shadow fleet.

Watch to see where Hodges thinks is the place to do it & why!

Beware Kirill Dmitriev. Fear mongering is his weapon. Undermining U.S. military & economic support for Ukraine is his primary goal.

Ignore him. He is just trolling Americans for Putin.
