🚨 “This is stunning — and dangerous: The Trump administration’s much-hyped 28-point “peace plan” for Ukraine — the one Trump claimed Zelensky had days to accept or the U.S. would pull support — turns out not to be a U.S. plan at all. According to new reporting from PBS NewsHour’s Nick Schifrin, senators were just briefed that the document actually originated from Russia.
Sen. Mike Rounds confirmed that the plan was delivered to Trump envoy Steve Witkoff by someone believed to be representing Russia. Sen. Angus King says the document is “essentially the wish list of the Russians.”
Meanwhile, Trump endorsed it. His spokesperson publicly touted it. Allies condemned it. And Ukraine was told to treat it as an American proposal.
This isn’t a “leak.”
This is a foreign influence crisis reaching directly into U.S. national security decision-making.
How did a Russian-drafted ultimatum to Ukraine end up being pushed by Trump’s team as American policy?
And why is Rubio now denying involvement after Axios reported he helped craft it?”

If what is being reported is accurate, what the MAGA crowd and indeed the GOP has been saying since the Reagan Administration, that our incompetent government is the problem, is true.
The GOP's self fulfilling prophecy?
I read some things being proposed and it is obvious either russia wrote it or had great influence. Russia gets a significant amount of territory, Ukraine cannot join NATO and in trade for that they don't get slaughtered.
Why doesn't everyone freak out that trump is taking credit for something someone else did. This conflict has gone on way to long and should have been a short lived skirmish but to many restrictions were placed on Ukraine as to what they could attack with and where.
We are approaching the first year of trump 2 so many of his cabinet will be replaced by different incompetents. It would be an error to replace Rubio because he is actually competent but no one could blame him for bailing.
Of topic a bit, sorry Dave because I know you hate it when I go off topic, now trump is proposing to send the covid obamacare bump directly to the consumer. It has been proven that many people cannot handle money and this would be another example.
Since taxes and regulation of commerce are constitutional duties of government, the Right does their utmost to undermine it and assure that it fails when they hold power.
Their answer is to let authoritarian oligarchs run our country.
