That was one of the most enlightening hours I’ve spent since the whole issue with Ukraine started. You two brilliant thinkers and commentators reinforced a great deal of what I have been thinking of this “hot mess,” as Katie referred to it. Thank you both so much for sharing your insights and wisdom on world affairs. The only hope I see for the immediate future is if the Democrats retake control of the House and the Senate. I know that is also a risky and even somewhat frightening proposition (and I say this as a lifelong Democrat), but something has to be done to stop this administration from destroying everything that the world has accomplished since WWII. These are indeed interesting, dare I say critically important times in the fate of the world as we know it.

Democrats retaking the White House ever, will be the end of the nation. EVER. Alternatives are delusional.

the administration is lazy, it accepted a Russian wish list, put it out as their work as if they had come up with a peace plan. witkoff, kushner, Luna, all have their fingerprints on this debacle.

Hmm, thanks for letting me know! I've always wondered, glad your confirmation puts that to rest.

This is happening now because Trump thinks and

hopes to get Nobel peace price . He does not accept you don't get peace price by jamming in someone's a deal.

We’re obsessed with territorial acquisition and getting the rights to other countries’ natural resources. It is Trump’s great desire to exploit for oil (Venezuela) or minerals (Ukraine).

Thank you so much for this fascinating explanation. I am gobsmacked by the implications for personal/USA enrichment that might be behind things.

I hope Europe steps in and helps Ukraine! Trumps are despicable!

Thank you for speaking up for Ukraine. Your comparison to Israel is accurate.

There is a growing understanding that America can no longer be relied upon for many reasons! This is going to be good for the world but we Americans are going to have to adjust. Will we share our power or continue to use our wealth to coerce them?

I don’t hear European news channels calling DJT president, he’s just Trump.
