Here's a statement of the obvious: The opinions expressed here are those of the participants, not those of the Mutual Fund Observer. We cannot vouch for the accuracy or appropriateness of any of it, though we do encourage civility and good humor.
Whatever peace deal is presented will be of no good or value as long as Ukraine is left out of the process. How is that even acceptable or justified. Besides, if the so called deal is packaged neither buttkin or trump can be expected to stand behind it. Deals from those 2 are for suckers.
European are excluded from the discussion. It is highly likely that many of Putin’s demand is in this deal. How to rebuild Ukraine post-war with so much damages?
...I do believe I heard it reported that the 28-point deal--- which was in effect the Russian wish-list--- is down to 19 points, and that Ukraine and the Europeans consulted together to put it together. Now let's see the reaction from Vladimir the Wet Fart. Trump is a Russian asset. He's going to raise no objections about anything favorable toward Russia, like taking and keeping land that belongs to Ukraine in the Donbas. https://www.aljazeera.com/news/liveblog/2025/11/25/live-5-killed-in-kyiv-rostov-as-russia-ukraine-carry-out-attacks
"To understand the story behind the administration’s Russia negotiations, The Wall Street Journal spoke to dozens of officials, diplomats, and former and current intelligence officers from the U.S., Russia and Europe, and American lobbyists and investors close to the administration."
"The picture that emerges is a remarkable story of business leaders working outside the traditional lines of diplomacy to cement a peace agreement with business deals."
"As Western leaders convened this week to digest the plan, Poland’s prime minister Donald Tusk offered a pithy summary: 'We know this is not about peace. It’s about business.'"
