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.

And to vote against Harris. We are a bored, decadent nation, and we wanted a show, not a minority woman with actual plans for governing. The voters got bored with the show that replaced White House Apprentice, so they brought it back.
Do you think inflation was more of an excuse voters used to cover their actual reasons to vote for Trump?

"I give up. Talk to me like I'm eight years old. How the hell do you explain what you're doing?"
We have to report equal numbers of bad things about each side.
