Ukrainians don’t want to live on their knees. They are not going to sacrifice their right to have a military. They are not going to give up land to Russia that Russia doesn’t already control, because that’s condemning the people who live in those lands to a life of hell. So, it’s…

A coalition of former & retired military judge advocates issued a rare joint statement warning that the Pentagon’s effort to recall Sen. Mark Kelly for UCMJ prosecution is partisan in nature, legally baseless & compromised by unlawful command influence. cnn.com/2025/11/26/pol…

#Putin still wants to capture #Kyiv & install a puppet govt But when he realizes that’s not feasible he will: 1. Focus on destroying as much of @DefenceU as possible 2. Then offer cease fire that imposes neutrality on #Ukraine & recognizes #Crimea & #Donbas as part of #Russia

President Trump correctly said, giving up sovereign territory when the enemy is losing, is capitulation. Putin’s own troops say territorial advances are impossible. Peace begins when Russia stops sending terrorist drones and missiles to murder families in a sovereign country and…

Russian dictator Vladimir Putin threatened President Trump not to send Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine in a phone call set in motion by White House special envoy Steve Witkoff ahead of a high-stakes meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. nypost.com/2025/11/26/wor…

Zelensky is right. It should be Russia being pressured to quit, not Ukraine.

If Ukraine acquired the offensive weapons needed to hammer Russia, it would force Russia to the table and Putin would eventually be overthrown.  Putin is a disastrous, failed military leader and ruthless ex-KGB assassin. And what of the tens of thousands of children Putin has…

Let's keep our eye on the ball. The problem here is less how Witkoff was trying to sell the plan than what he was trying to sell -- A Russian victory, a destabilized Europe, and increased chances of wider war.

The Witkoff/Ushakov call "reaffirms how strongly Mr Witkoff is trying to help Russia," says Ukraine's fmr FM @DmytroKuleba "That 28-point plan is a list of Russian ultimatums...The situation is completely different now & I think we can bury the 28-point plan...it's discredited."

This is insane: The Trump administration is arresting the wives and husbands of US citizens when they show up for their green card interviews, even though they entered legally and have no criminal record. So much for family values. nytimes.com/2025/11/26/us/…

Important for Steve Witkoff's son, who runs Trump's crypto fund, to release the list of all investors, including anyone connected to the Kremlin. So far, he has refused.

Tucker Carlson: What do you think of Putin? Witkoff: I liked him. I thought he was straight up with me…I don't regard him as a bad guy.

This story is just the latest example of a long-running series of 100% fake news reports claiming a rift inside the Trump administration over how to end the war in Ukraine. These people don’t just get things wrong, they literally make things up. nbcnews.com/politics/white…

New: @InsiderEng saw the Witkoff-Dmitriev plan six months ago in draft form—except it was all Dmitriev. Bloomberg reports now Dmitriev told Ushakov he’d pass along a Russian plan and the Americans “can present it as their own”: theins.press/en/politics/28…

For those who oppose the Russian invasion and want to see Ukraine prevail as a sovereign & democratic country, it is clear that Witkoff fully favors the Russians. He cannot be trusted to lead these negotiations. Would a Russian paid agent do less than he? He should be fired.

Here is the full transcript of Witkoff working directly for the war criminals Russia. It's like giving help to the Nazis to take France in WWII. @SenatorWicker @SASCGOP @RepDonBacon @RepFitzpatrick this cannot stand: bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
