U.S. Special Envoy Steve Witkoff — a real estate mogul with no diplomatic background before his appointment — has emerged as one of the central architects of a new Washington peace proposal that Ukrainian officials say revives the Kremlin's most sweeping demands.

A failure - and one that’s Trump-driven. The world deserves better.

⚡️Ukraine downs Russian Mi-8 helicopter with deep strike drone for first time, military claims. "We are changing the rules of the game: now we are hunting," Ukraine's Special Operations Forces said on Nov. 22. The Mi-8 was reportedly downed over Russia's Rostov Oblast.

Yes, absolutely. Drop Trump into the middle of it.

⚡️Netherlands opens fire on suspicious drones near air base housing US nuclear weapons. The drones were spotted above the Volkel Air Base overnight, Dutch Defense Minister Ruben Brekelmans said on Nov. 22. The drones flew away after weapons were deployed and an investigation is underway.

US operations against Venezuela to begin within days. Covert ops the first move.

Republican Senator Mike Rounds said Secretary of State Marco Rubio, in a call to senators, confirmed the so-called 28-point “peace plan” was actually a Russian wishlist and is “not the administration’s position”. Nor is there any threat to cut off weapons or intelligence to Ukraine.

“Labor, in seeking to be the “natural party of government” as Anthony Albanese likes to say, has sacrificed its duality. The political party is separate from the movement that underpinned it.”

The plan was leaked by the Russians and no one in America’s historically inept administration knew what anyone else was doing so people started getting behind it because they thought it was official policy. Putin totally played the US, knowing full well he was up against incompetents and idiots.

Don’t for a moment think that I am a fan of Ronald Reagan but I do miss when our government realized that Russia is the enemy of all free people

In my wildest dreams I didn’t see the USA kneeling in front of Putin. Not a single MF GOP POS can ever claim being a patriot again. All of them are ready to sacrifice the nation for their own political survival!

Sounds like the US is joining the Russian aggression to eliminate the state of Ukraine and together threaten the safety of Europe.

Merely a new face to make unrealistic and ridiculous peace proposals. I think it's a Trumpian way of attacking Zelensky's sanity by constantly making stupid, nonactionable peace proposals. For sure, every time Zelensky talks to the Americans, he smacks his forehead in disbelief!

There is no peace plan, only a plan for Ukraine to surrender.

Flying. To Moscow. American Generals. By Christmas the coup may be complete, Congress will disband and the fascists will rule the USA. Only if Congress steps up can this be averted. Not holding my breath.

The Kyiv Independent is reporting that Trump envoy Steve Witkoff is "running a shadow operation inside the White House in an effort to sideline pro-Ukraine officials", cutting out Secretary of State Marco Rubio, in an effort supported by Vice President J.D. Vance.

“But, having tasted long-term power, this Labor Party now seems to want to hold it for power’s sake, no longer guided by the principles of changing society fundamentally but possession of power as an end to itself” …Amy Remeikis How pathetically true! #auspol www.thenewdaily.com.au/news/politic...

Trump’s Dept. of Transportation has: • Scrapped possible limits on train/bus driver hours to keep them from falling asleep • Delayed a rule to help prevent 9/11-style cockpit takeovers • Proposed exempting school bus child-restraint systems from crash-protection rules

Never forget this: The forces rigging our economy, undermining our democracy, polluting our planet, and stoking hatred are counting on you to give up. Cynicism is how they win. Stay clear-eyed and ready for the fight ahead.

Ultra-rich media owners are tightening their grip on democracy. It’s time to wrest our power back https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2025/nov/13/trump-media-ultra-rich-democracy

Around 70% of the U.S. economy depends on consumer spending. As wealth concentrates in the richest 10%, the rest of America can’t afford to buy enough to keep the economy running. This is a huge problem — and even America’s most powerful CEOs are starting to sound the alarm.

Anna is w great source for factual information on Putin's Ukraine war

Trump's betrayal of Ukraine and support for Trump Sucks. I guess Ukraine aren't obliged to give America access to it's minerals now

Albanese used to say "I like fighting Tories". Now he is one. #auspol

Twitter implemented a new feature last night that displayed the country an account is in. So many of the ‘America First’ accounts were from foreign countries that they had to disable the feature within hours. 🙄

Absolutely spot on. I had the honour of leading a federal safety regulator for quite a few years and the constant pressure from minister and MP offices to never do anything that mean industry had to spend a $ was soul destroying…until someone died in which case it was the regulator’s fault.

Good regulation is good for productivity growth. Lack of regulation is driving inefficiency. Poorly regulated building markets led to debacles like the cracking in Opal Towers and flammable cladding being expensively replaced across the country My column thepoint.com.au/opinions/251...

I think a drop in Jewish popularity is understandable considering the actions of the Zionists. That said, I believe Jews that speak up against Zionism are incredibly brave.

This is a political time to wake up EVERYDAY prepared to Speak Truth to Power!.....

🎯🎯🎯

Speak Truth....like a BOSS

“Trump now takes Putin’s side. Europe must choose again: appeasement or our values, imperialism or freedom”

Why does the aggressor get the best deal? Rewarding the invader. Trump is not a deal-maker. He basically said you Ukrainians died in vain. President Zelenskyy fought for his people, his country, their sovereignty. President Biden would never have made a deal with the Russian war criminal. Never!

When you drink the WHOLE CUP of FOOL AID.......

Speak Truth....
