Because Kellogg was moved out. This is the Russia party taking over. Vance(Thiel), Witkoff and now Driscoll.
Just keep repeating Witkoff is a traitor until his position is untenable.

Three things about the Witkoff tapes:
1) It appears Western intelligence services have decided to let Witkoff (and Trump) know they have recordings of their traitorous conversations w/Russia.
2) This Ukraine "deal" was all Witkoff's idea.
3) Congressional leaders should demand he be fired.

EXCLUSIVE: US presidential envoy Steve Witkoff advised Russia on how to pitch Ukraine plans to Trump, in audio files reviewed by Bloomberg
Witkoff Advised Russia on How to Pitch Ukraine Plan to Trump
US presidential envoy Steve Witkoff, fresh from the triumph of the Gaza peace deal, held a phone call last month with a senior Kremlin official to suggest they work together on a similar plan for Ukraine — and that Vladimir Putin should raise it with Donald Trump.

This is identical to Russia invading Ukraine. Illegally invading a country for their resources and likely killing thousands—if not more—is immoral and should not be supported by anyone with any shred of moral conscience.

I think Trump meant the type of 'gratitude' the Swiss gave Trump to cut the tariffs.

Then why did he wanted Zelensky to agree to it within the week?
Of course it was a final proposal.
Was it the European reaction? Doubtful.
Was it Putin's reservations? Possible, but Putin probably only did that to give the impression the proposal didn't come from him in the first place.

Who stands to gain from the Trump Ukraine proposal?
Ukraine? Certainly not.
Europe? Nope.
Russia? Yes, but even Putin doesn't accept it (probably since he will treat it as a starting position and will add more demands)
America? Don't see how.
Trump himself? That's the big question.

If there's any truth in Trump's claim that "Putin wants to end the war." it would be because the Russian economy is on the verge of collapse.

Now step it up Europe. Deal with Orban, Fico. And the Belgians blocking the Russian assets.
Ramp up European weapons production, choose European alternatives to US weapons. And start building an European alternative to NATO. Because that just died.

Btw, I do hope people understand what they have seen today. It was a well-planned and deliberate ambush of Ukraine by Trump, to force the Ukrainians to bend the knee to Putin's dictatorship. It was not slip-shod, rushed, impulsive or an accident. It was prepared malice.
