The world is not looking for a deal but at mitigation and decoupling from the #USA. If you look at the world and think "they need us more than we need them" you might be in for a shock. It's not a great negotiating position if it's not true, as the #UK govt found out and still in denial over #Brexit

Renewables routinely generate more than half of U.K electricity.
They also generate thousands of jobs, reduce our exposure to volatile gas prices, and allow us to stick two fingers up to fossil-fueled dictators.

You have to ask, why was Witkoff chosen for this critically important role of special envoy to Putin? He had no diplomatic or foreign policy experience. No education on those subjects. So of all people, why him? I think what we all surmised is clear - Putin wanted Witkoff.
