Our foreign policy is currently an embarrassing clown show. Much worse than merely amateur hour.
GOP Sen. Mike Rounds on the Ukraine “Peace plan”
“Rubio did make a phone call to us this afternoon, and he made it very clear to us that we are the recipients of a proposal that was delivered to one of our representatives. It is NOT our recommendation, it is not our peace plan”
What’s going on??

This is not a peace plan. It is a proposal that weakens Ukraine and divides America from Europe, preparing the way for a larger war in the future. In the meantime, it benefits unnamed Russian and American investors, at the expense of everyone else.

It shouldn't even need to be said, but apparently does: it is beyond the pale for anyone to suggest such things, let alone the president of the united states.
