America should be helping our democratic friends resist evil. Trump’s 28-point plan will be a stain on our history forever.

Arresting political opponents is usually the last step before becoming a full-blown police state.

This isn’t a “peace plan.” It’s a blueprint for Ukraine’s capitulation. If implemented, it would turn this pro-Western, democratic nation, which has been courageously resisting Russian aggression since 2014, into a Kremlin colony. wapo.st/3XcRot6

80 years ago in this Nurnberg courtroom the US brought Nazi war criminals to justice.
25 years ago American forces stopped Serbian war crimes and helped bring Slobodan Milosevic to justice at The Hague.
Today Trump is working overtime to absolve Russians from their war crimes.

This isn’t a “Peace Deal,” it’s an ultimatum that Trump is trying to impose on Ukraine—forcing them to cede territory to Russia that they couldn’t take by force.
BTW, today is the day Trump was supposed to impose secondary sanctions…crickets.

This is the peace proposal we should be demanding👇
I already have a counterproposal:
Russia pulls forces/proxies out of Ukraine—all of it—and removes offensive weapons from regions bordering Ukraine.
Pays for all war damage—and reconstruction.
All Russians engaged in war crimes stand trial.
And Ukraine can join any alliance it damn well pleases.

This is Room 600- the famous courtroom where the Nuremberg trials began 80 years ago today.
We must never lose our moral compass and always hold war criminals to account.
This means Vladimir Putin, waging a war of aggression in Ukraine and fanning the flames of a horrific Civil War in Sudan.
