KYIV, Ukrain – The United States is offering Ukraine security guarantees for a period of 15 years as part of a proposed peace plan, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Monday, though he said he would prefer an American commitment of up to 50 years to deter Russia from further attempts to seize its neighbor’s land by force.(snip)egotiators are still searching for a breakthrough on key issues, however, including whose forces withdraw from where and the fate of the Russian-occupied Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, one of the 10 biggest in the world. Trump noted that the monthslong U.S.-led negotiations could still collapse.

Comments:

Whoa! Putin says "no NATO troops in Ukraine"... So whose troops? Not ours.

Better not be with ground combat units. Something’s not right with this. How about the EU put their big boy pants on for a change as this is a European issue

If this story is true—and, we are only hearing from Zelenskyy and the AP, at this point—let’s hope someone in the Trump administration, or a subsequent Republican administration, is prepared to renig on the deal. I don’t want to be involved with this corrupt country, its dictator, or its allies for another 15 years.

Any promises from any government, including ours, are not worth much. If thats the deal there is no deal.

I looked no further than the last sentence of the lede, "Trump said, "... could still collapse." Is there a total for our donations to Zelensky's Ukraine? I saw a figure of $500 B. Before that, I saw $200-300 B by the Biden admin. What do we get out of it? It's not a NATO matter. Putin made no moves against us. $300-400 B would well serve our military. Do we still get $500B from rare-earth finds? Which has lost a lot of value since we found our own. How much is a 15-year security guarantee going to cost? Do the Ukrainian crooks get amnesty for the theft of US$B? they embezzled from their countrymen and us? I think Putin is on to President Trump's Moby. All he has to do is reject it; meanwhile, he continues - it seems to have worked for him so far. They were close to a settlement once when they didn't have all this help; let them try again. The same goes for Zelensky; he keeps ripping up the deal, too, to keep the money flowing. If we have an issue with Russia, then let's keep our money and weapons and deal with them directly; otherwise, dump this costly mess; it's a quagmire.

We need to make Zelenski pay for anything he gets from US, or he gets nothing. I prefer nothing. We the People are done with propping up governments and people who turn around and hate US for it. Let that stuff go! Let those all white folks in Europe figure it out.

For years now, there have been whispers coming out of Minnesota about massive fraud hiding in plain sight. Not small-time scams. Not paperwork errors. We’re talking about an entire ecosystem built around public money, weak oversight, and political protection. A recent investigative report from Nick Shirley blew the lid off just how deep this all goes. At the center of it all is a web of nonprofits, shell organizations, and state-funded programs that were supposed to help low-income families, but instead, they became a money-printing operation. And one of the biggest engines driving that machine is something most people would never suspect… Daycares.

President Donald Trump is ducking and weaving through the minefield of geopolitical politics, managing a proxy war he did not create that was organized by a corrupt U.S. State Dept./CIA and globalist agenda. Trump wants the war to end; he wants the U.S. out of it; he wants peace with a fundamental reset of the entire European dynamic, and he wants a strategic relationship with the Russian Federation. However, every element in the proverbial ‘West’ wants exactly the opposite .Washington DC – the majorities in both parties, most of the European Union and the ‘Western’ military industrial complex stand in opposition to President Trump’s objective.

Newsguard will note for their information filtering system, that Mayor Jacob Frey did not directly say residents of the region will start killing ICE agents. However, Mayor Frey did say if the ICE deportation operations continue, ICE agents are likely to be killed. The obvious question is, ‘who will do the killing, Jacob‘? Minnesota Governor Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey have built the illegal alien powder-keg while both have financially benefitted from the subsequent Somali community fraud, then together they blame the presence of federal law enforcement -Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)- agents for striking the match.

Following a series of FOIA lawsuits, memos from conversations between Russian Federation President Vladimir Putin and former US President George W. Bush have been released online by the National Security Archive. [Original Source Here] I know it’s Christmas, but bookmark or review as time allows, because the content is very interesting and very important. As early as 2001 and 2008, President Putin clearly told President Bush of his opposition to Ukraine’s accession to NATO, along with other key positions. Despite what popular media might say, these are NOT full transcripts. Rather, they are memos containing quotes from both leaders as they discuss geopolitical relations between the U.S. and Russia.

For as long as anyone can remember, Americans have been told the same number over and over again. Eleven million illegal immigrants have taken up “space” in the USA. That’s the figure we’ve heard for what seems like decades now, like it’s carved in stone or something. But it’s just not adding up. It seems like that number didn’t budge much through waves of border surges. It feels like we’ve been told eleven million for a really long time, and quite frankly, a lot of people don’t buy it anymore.

Altonaga of the Federal District Court for the Southern District of Florida, their client is a “target” of a grand jury investigation. The word “target” is important here, because the letter specifically outlines how Brennan has received subpoenas for documents and information surrounding his construct of the 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment. The letter notes that prosecutors from the Office of the United States Attorney for the Southern District of Florida, Jason Reding Quiñones, have advised Mr. Brennan that he is “a target” of a grand jury investigation.

Iran’s president declared they were in a “total war” with the US, Israel and Europe, just as Tehran looks to rebuild its nuclear capabilities and strengthen ties with Hamas. Masoud Pezeshkian made the bold statement in an interview published in state media Saturday, Barron’s reported. “In my opinion, we are at total war with the United States, Israel and Europe. They want to bring our country to its knees,” Pezeshkian said. This war is worse than the one launched against us by Iraq. On closer inspection, it is far more complex and difficult,” he said, in reference to the 1980-88 war with Iran’s western neighbor.

In 1988, if you had told anyone that the Soviet Union would cease to exist just four years later, you would have been dismissed as a crank. The institutions looked solid, the bureaucracy entrenched, and the power absolute. Yet by 1992, it was history. Today, European politicians in Brussels, Berlin, and Paris suffer from the same dangerous optimism. They believe they are so safely ensconced in their institutional frameworks that public anger can never truly throw them out of the saddle. But looking at the trajectory of the European Union, I believe we are closer to a revolutionary moment than the elites dare to imagine. We often hear comparisons to the 1930s,

With the arrest of Nick Reiner for the alleged murder of his parents, Rob Reiner and Michelle Singer, commentators have taken to simultaneously pitying the accused for his mental illness while condemning him for his evil actions. This is logically contradictory. On the one hand, if it is illness that explains why Nick Reiner committed a crime, then he cannot be held morally responsible for his actions. It is just to hold him morally responsible for his actions only if he could have chosen, on the basis of reasons, not impulses or compulsions, to have done other than what he allegedly did.

The first two “daycare centers” are both located at the same address in an industrial park,

Far-left billionaire powerbroker George Soros and his family have lavished more than $71,000 into New York Attorney General Letitia James campaign coffers since 2019, including a robust $31,000 to help the longtime adversary of President Donald Trump get re-elected next year, according to a report Sunday by the New York Post. Citing Board of Elections records, the Post reported that campaign donations included $18,000 from Soros in July 2024 and another $13,000 from his daughter-in-law, Jennifer Soros, in May. Soros and his family also gave James another $40,000 dating back to 2019 for previous campaigns.

It’s not easy to put a positive spin on a mass-murdering terrorist group. But CNN’s chief international anchor Christiane Amanpour found a way. While most of the world celebrated the release of the last Israeli hostages this October—and listened in horror to the victims’ stories of torment in Gaza’s underground tunnels—Amanpour took a moment to give Hamas kudos for its treatment of the captives. "They are probably being treated better than the average Gazan because they are the pawns and the chips that Hamas had," she mused. "Now Hamas has given up all its leverage by giving them all up." That is the sort of "fearless and uncompromising"

Kristians Petrovskis, Romunds Cubrevics, and Nurmunds Ulevicus from Latvia are accused of the fraud, per a news release last week from the Texas Financial Crimes Intelligence Center (TFCIC). But KCWX2 shed more light on the crime by stating that all three men entered America illegally and for the express purpose of committing criminal activities. Petrovskis, Cubrevics, and Ulevicus are accused of gift card cloning, according to TFCIC, and at the time of their arrest had over 400 gift cards in their possession.
