Trump ‘surrendering to the Russians’ on Ukraine, top Democrat says

The entire world sees Nazis. We... won't shop for a day? This is nonsense.
What sort of resistance should a nation with more bullets than guns, and more guns than people, one with a history of its progressive icons getting their heads blown off when they annoyed Republicans, do to show its contempt for its Nazi leaders? Not shop for a day?
Ukrainians are fighting a war.
Americans are fighting illusions in our heads planted by our own mass media, subservient to politicians with lofty degrees bashing education and science while crudely and blatantly following Hitler's playbook.
Should the resistance be a day of stocking up, followed by a day of fake fury against retailers with thin profit margins, followed by restocking, or are we ready and willing to fight actual, motherfucking Nazis?
Ooh. Susie didn't buy toilet paper on the 28th as Elon stole and fired away. HE'S NOT VETTED AT ALL!
Did the Kremlin come up with this one? It's pretty humiliating, given that Ukrainians are dying to stop Russia.

"Byline Times is receiving multiple DDOS attacks since publication of our story on Trump's recruitment by the KGB in 1987 from a credible senior KGB source.
A former Soviet spy says that Trump was indeed recruited to the KGB 38 years ago by his department. He was given a codename, 'Krasnov'. We checked, and the source was indeed a KBG intelligence officer at the time."

“Donald Trump’s verbal assault on Ukraine is a ‘complete failure’ for the transatlantic alliance, according to a senior German lawmaker.
‘This is pure Kremlin — and Putin — speech,’ said Michael Roth, chairman of the foreign relations committee in the German parliament, after the U.S. president called Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelenskyy a ‘dictator’ and sided with Russia’s narrative about why the war began.”

U.S.-Russia Talks in Saudi Arabia Set to Go Beyond Ukraine
The two sides met in Saudi Arabia for their most extensive discussions in years. In addition to Ukraine, business ties were on the table.Anton Troianovski (The New York Times)
A #State Dept readout of the talks did not mention the role that the #Ukraine govt, which did not take part in the 4½ hours of meetings…would play in future negotiations.
…The Riyadh talks have deeply unsettled Ukraine, where fears are mounting that #US ofcls are overly comfortable discussing the country’s future without Kyiv at the table. They have also unnerved European allies, who worry that #Trump will embrace a deal that emboldens #Russia President Vladimir #Putin….
Secy of State #MarcoRubio’s discussions w/ FM #SergeiLavrov, the first such high-level US-Russian encounter since Moscow’s 2022 invasion, yielded an agreement to form negotiating teams & held out the possibility of “historic economic & investment opportunities” [???] for #Russia if the conflict is brought to a successful end. The talks also addressed improving #US - Russian ties, which have been in a deep freeze since Moscow’s all-out assault.
"They went not badly"
- Russian comments on the Russia - US negotiations in Saudi Arabia
According to Putin's aide Ushakov, the sides "agreed to promote bilateral relations" and "respect each other's interests", but "so far, it's hard to say that positions of Russia and USA are getting closer"
Ushakov doubts that the meeting between Putin and Trump will take place next week. He claimed "it's difficult to talk about specific dates."

Trump wants to end the war in Ukraine fairly and prevent it from resuming in 2–3 years, Marco Rubio said. He also noted that the EU should eventually be at the negotiating table, as it imposed sanctions against Russia.
Moreover, he stated that the West will have to lift sanctions against Russia if the war in Ukraine is resolved.

Thank You Europe!
The European Union is not going to lift sanctions against Russia even if the United States does, said French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot on France Info.
According to him, the EU will pursue its own sanctions policy and introduce the 16th package, which will affect the Russian energy sector.
