The Great Betrayal: How a U.S. Envoy Helped Russia Shape a Plan Against an American Ally Steve Witkoffโ€™s guidance to Vladimir Putinโ€™s top adviser reveals a foreign-policy process captured by private channels, Russian influence, and the abandonment of an ally at war.

One of the most accurate and hard-hitting headlines I've seen in months. Take note, journalists ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿ‘‡ And for crying out loud get rid of that Russian spy. #FireWitkoff

Witkoff is not buying the Russian narrative. He is selling it.

Anecdotally, while I was looking for a source to refer to for this article with the search words โ€Russia rejects US peace planโ€, I found media articles on that topic from November 2024, February, May, June, September, and October 2025.

Ik vind bijv ook de NOS weer zeer nalatig in het NIET-expliciet communiceren vd extreme gevolgen voor veiligheid van Nederland als Witkoffs capitulatieplan doorgaat. Politiek is nu alle hens aan dek nodig om bij te sturen. Gigantische taak voor media om burgers te informeren รฉn politici te bevragen!

Insane. In Witkoff's case calling him a Russian assett is an understatement. This is closer to treason as Witkoff is clearly WORKING FOR RUSSIA, not for any other country.

Obviously Witkoff needs to be fired - and Trump should instead listen to the Republican base, led by Lindsey Graham and others.

But let's steal their financial lifeline, sabotage their army and force them to surrender their historical land to Putin, Witkoff whispered in the demented king's ear - and Trump nodded.

โ€˜Witkoff needs a psychiatristโ€™: Europeans fume at Trumpโ€™s plan to profit from frozen Russian assets Diplomats and officials react with outrage to new details of the U.S. peace plan, warning it could wreck their efforts to help Ukraine survive the war.

Great article by Politico. Trump now wants to the grab money that Ukraine urgently needs to survive (and that is completely unlinked to the US). It's sickening. EU should make clear this is absolutely unacceptable. Vast majority of the US population thinks the same!

Very important to keep in mind that ALSO among the Republican base giving in to Putin and betraying Ukraine is a very unpopular move. A vast majority of the US population strongly supports Ukraine's fight for freedom (so Witkoff's path is very slippery FOR TRUMP).

Ja, ik denk dat ook. We zijn Trump feitelijk ook al maanden aan het appeasen - daar winnen we eigenlijk niets mee en leidt tot steeds groter verval van normen etc

Vergeet ook niet dat groot deel Republikeinse achterban pro-Oekraรฏne is. Bij escalatie daalt populariteit van Trump - en dat is noodzaak

'Ukraine faces very tough choice: either the loss of dignity, or the US as a partner.'

Trump is such an utter global disgrace. Eternal shame on the US for this betrayal - and for actively siding with global tyranny. Truly the darkest of times, and the most disgusting...

Zelensky komt met alternatieven voor VS-plan, 'moeilijk moment in geschiedenis' Gisteren ontving Zelensky een 28-puntenplan van de Amerikaanse president Trump, dat zou zijn opgesteld door Amerikaanse en Russische diplomaten. Daarin moet Oekraรฏne flinke concessies doen.

'Oekraรฏne moet volgens Zelensky kiezen tussen twee moeilijke scenarios: het verlies van zijn waardigheid of het verliezen van de Verenigde Staten als partner.' (Wat een schande...)

The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted.

If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

Prof David Cay Johnston also weighing in: 'highly likely' evidence against Trump will be scrubbed before the release of the Epstein files. Which means lawyers of 26 victims that went to court can play crucial role - as THEY DID see the full file, like many others.

Dat is helaas meer de koers van Trump. Witkoff is vanaf dag 1 van plan Poetin alles te geven.

Die andere lijn (die wel pro-Oekraรฏne is) komt vanuit de Senaat, op initiatief van Lindsey Graham (en met brede bipartisan steun).

Ook ruime meerderheid bevolking VS is pro-Oekraรฏne. Maar Trump zelf niet.

Zelensky receives Ukraine peace plan, will speak to Trump Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky has received the draft of a new US-backed plan to end Russia's war in his country, according to his office.

Hand all of the Donbas to Russia.
Cutting Ukraine's Armed Forces by 60%
Ukraine not allowed any long-range weapons.
Prohibition on international peacekeepers in Ukraine.
State language of Ukraine to be made Russian.

Some of the "conditions".

That Trump agreed to this plan makes him the enemy too.

Jeffrey Epstein's brother claims Epstein files are being scrubbed Mark Epstein, the brother of the late sex offender, has made a bombshell claim that Republicans' names are getting scrubbed from the government's Epstein files.

Also Mark Epstein states the Epstein files are being altered (at FBI's Central Records Complex, Winchester) - to remove evidence against Trump. Jeffrey had enough dirt on Trump to end his career, he told his brother. If it's not in the released files, it's removed

How awful. This is outright health disinformation, lying to the American people. Not only is there massive evidence showing no link between vaccines & autism, thereโ€™s not even a plausible mechanism based on what weโ€™ve learned about the genetics of autism, some environmental exposures in pregnancy

Rusland legt elke keer dezelfde eisen op tafel. VS luisteren elke keer weer. Het is gedoemd om te mislukken.

Het berust steeds op een wereldbeeld waarin Oekraรฏne niets te zeggen heeft, een klein spelertje in een wereld van grootmachten.

Ja, nee, niet natuurlijk. Tekenend voor het compleet corrupte verval van dat land.

Let wel: er zijn ook nog steeds indicaties dat Epstein geen zelfmoord heeft gepleegd, maar zelf ook werd gezien als een gevaarlijk bewijsstuk. Daarbij is klooien met de papieren peanuts... :/

Absoluut, het is een criminele bende. Je voelde dit al aankomen. Die veel te brave Democraten (onder Biden) hadden รณf moeten vrijgeven tijdens Maxwell-zaak, of een kopie moeten veiligstellen (wat ze duidelijk niet hebben). Nu heeft Team Trump alle touwtjes in handen om het te spinnen zoals ze willen

Nog steeds nauwelijks aandacht hiervoor, ook in Nederlandse media: het sanctiepakket dat de oorlog in Oekraรฏne zou beรซindigen. De Amerikaanse Senaat is voor - en het hangt dus af van Trump. MAAR EUROPA KAN DIT OOK DOEN, en dus OOK NEDERLAND. Geen enkel debat over!
