Do we really need the opinions of top European officials to read from Putin's ceasefire conditions that he doesn't want a peace deal?

The "deal" on the table for Ukraine will leave them defenseless if accepted, no international support, weak military. How does the US audience even entertain this?

Seems that the Democrats are blackmailing themselves. Republicans have the peoples' mandate, let them negotiate a solution that balances out their voters' interests. Democrats should stay out of it by voting against the bill.

Canada, do a deal to send your steel to Europe, their defense industry will need it as US defense suppliers get substituted.

Putin to tread carefully with Trump, yeah right, and Bigfoot and the Tooth Fairy will help with negotiations and manage the "wrath". Unpredictable, really?

I'd like to see transgender people able to be themselves in every aspect of life, but we separate women's sports for fairness, pushing for transgender women to compete against born women asks a lot of the cisgender community and pushes a lot of moderates to the bigot end of the political space.

Half of the planet dropped the use of Huawei 5G equipment due to fear of political use of the technology, cannot see how Starlink gets a pass on the same principle. Musk has dangled Starlink over Ukraine's survival for another state's interests again.

To all Americans, Trump and Musk are doing a stand-over job on Ukraine, for Russia, in your name. This is disgusting stuff that can't just be forgotten once you get tired of, and replace, your president again.

We, as individuals and governments, need to de-couple from the US, even at the cost of some economic efficiencies and trade opportunities.

It's most economies' dream to move from nanufacturing to services, as the US has done strategically over decades (recent history has highlighted some risks to that). Are Americans ready to head back to the factories to make these lower-value goods?

Why does Trump need to "strongly consider"? Just impose the sanctions. Trump is hoping that his audience isn't paying attention to detail and treat the headline as something real.

And provide global money launderers with a huge supply of clean USD

No mystery, credit and equity investors are still telling themselves that Trump is just posturing. When spending drops, then earnings, then debt repayment, then we will see the Trump impact.

JD, did you thank the UK for their Iraq and Afghanistan contributions even once during this meeting?
