There is a reason why Witkoff did not want any officials with the State Dept or anyone else present during his many meetings w/Putin - he didn’t want witnesses to his treasonous behavior. Highly unusual, but makes perfect sense when you consider that he only cared about Russia.

Beste @tonfvandijk.bsky.social je vergeet het allerbeste voorbeeld uit de geschiedenis: de geslaagde isolering van NSB'ers voor de oorlog. Ze mochten geen baan als ambtenaar bekleden en werden door de RK kerk geexcommuniceerd. Het fascisme kreeg mede daardoor weinig voet aan de grond.

Can’t stop thinking of following: Who leaked the audio files to Bloomberg? If it’s a friendly govt (who had such SIGINT capability) that would be most extraordinary. In essence, an op directed at the US. Because of abject fear of what had transpired, what this admin has become. Wow.

Trump trekt de aandacht, maar het lot van Oekraïne ligt nu al in Europese handen
Trumps jongste ‘vredesvoorstel’ ondermijnt niet alleen Oekraïne, maar ook de Navo. Maar bondgenoten aarzelen om de gevolgen van het verkruimelen van Amerikaans leiderschap onder ogen te zien.

FWIW, RUMINT, but pretty reliable:
1. Vance key to US embrace of Russia plan on Ukraine, Rubio (and even Trump) out of the loop.
2. Vance-Rubio relations “awful.”
3. Rubio told the senators exactly what they said he told them.
4. Hegseth paranoid he’ll be shoved out, Driscoll will replace him.
