Summary

A senior White House team, led by Steve Witkoff and Mike Waltz, is traveling to Saudi Arabia to set up Ukraine peace talks, excluding both Ukraine and Europe from negotiations.

This move raises concerns about sidelining key stakeholders while favoring direct U.S.-Russia discussions. European leaders, including Macron and Starmer, are meeting in Paris to respond.

Trump’s team has hinted at lifting Russian sanctions, a stance welcomed by the Kremlin.

NATO allies are wary of U.S. inquiries on security guarantees for Ukraine, fearing strategic leaks.

    LOL I said that. Active troops are what counts. It takes a long time to train troops to be battle ready. And Europe is going to hastily learn this. America isn’t going to save your arses, until you all give some blood up and have troops coming home injured and dead. It’s time that Europe remembers what war is, too many generations in between have forgotten.
