Thank you for this excellent reporting. Please use your broad audience to educate on Kushner’s role in crafting this deal, which is just breaking. This seems a huge, unsurprising but underreported factor which points directly to likely Trump family enrichment through it. 1/

My 2 cents:

- Trump saw Mamdani’s meteoric rise. He beat everyone, including him and the oligarchs.

- Mamdani ran on affordability and fighting for the working class.

- Trump doesn’t care about either but he wants to be seen as such.

- Embracing Mamdani is his way of co-opting these issues.

This is unthinkable for Ukraine and undermines U.S. national security. Appeasing dictators never achieves long-term peace. It didn't work in 1938 - and it won't work now.

The plan gives Putin a clear victory:
- Ukraine ceding territory it now holds, after 4 years of fighting;
- Reducing Ukraine's military by over half, making it weak;
- No NATO enlargement, giving Putin a veto over NATO.
