What Is Steve Witkoff Trying to Do?
Trump’s envoy isn’t promoting peace. His interventions are helping Vladimir Putin and prolonging the war.

With Gripen for Canada in the headlines and with Rafale and Gripen seeing LoIs from Ukraine, the Finnish experience has been used as an argument by all sides - some claims more grounded in reality than others. I explain what we really learned during HX.
