On November 21, 2025, Trump stabbed Ukraine and Europe in the back. After my last post, I broke for breakfast and turned on the news. I have claimed I am a Futurian, come to this time in order to save America, Europe – and the world!
“If you are not for me, you are against me!”
This saying is applicable. Look at the reception Zelemzy got, compared to The Killer Prince. Why didn’t Trump invade Saudi Arabia, and reduce these UNDEMOCRATIC PEOLES into second class world citizzbesm and hand out OIL REVENUES to every adult Citizen of the United States. Instead, The Temipire REWARDS every Russian Citizen –
WITH LAND AND VALUABLE MINIERALS
Hillbilly Vance may have met with Killer Kirill and now believes THE LORD wants this betrayal – that leaves Benedict Arnold in the dust. Trump is acting like a Russian agent, Are there Russian Oligarchs on the Epstein list? How about Saudis. Will Saudi Arabia and Russian sign a peace pack, and then rais the price of oil on all NATO Nations?

Ukraine Faces ‘Difficult Choice’ Over U.S. Plan to End War, Zelensky Says
A U.S.-Russian proposal would require Kyiv to give up territory and reduce its army. If Moscow complies with the terms, it could receive benefits including reintegration into the global economy.

President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine suggested on Friday that his country’s alliance with the United States could be at a breaking point over a White House plan to end the war against Russia.
The 28-point proposal from the White House — which Kyiv has said was drafted without its involvement — would give Russia most of what it has asked for, including the surrender of Ukrainian territory and sharp limits on Ukraine’s military. The plan would require Ukraine to accept conditions that it and its European allies have long called unacceptable and tantamount to capitulation. The Trump administration is pressing for a response by Thanksgiving.
In a video address to the Ukrainian people on Friday afternoon, Mr. Zelensky said that his country was facing “one of the most difficult moments in our history.”
“Ukraine may soon find itself before a very difficult choice,” he said. “Either the loss of dignity, or the risk of losing a key partner. Either the difficult 28 points, or an extremely hard winter — the hardest one — and further risks.”

Mr. Zelensky did not explicitly name the United States as that “key partner.” But the Ukrainian leader, who met with an American military delegation in Kyiv this week to restart peace talks, said that “they will expect an answer” about the 28 points.
“I will present arguments, persuade, propose alternatives,” he said, promising “a constructive search for solutions.”
Referring to Russia, he said, “We will absolutely not give the enemy any reason to say that Ukraine does not want peace, that Ukraine is disrupting the process or that Ukraine is not ready for diplomacy.”

“That will not happen,” he added.
President Trump was asked on Friday about news reports saying that he had given Mr. Zelensky a deadline of Thanksgiving Thursday to answer the proposal.
“I’ve had a lot of deadlines but if things are working well you tend to extend the deadlines,” Mr. Trump said on Fox News Radio. “But Thursday is, we think, an appropriate time.”

His comments came amid widespread dismay in Ukraine over the proposal. Karoline Leavitt, the White House press secretary, confirmed on Thursday that the plan was in the works but said that it was still in “flux.”
The proposal is the latest effort by the Trump administration to revive stalled negotiations to end the war, which has lasted nearly four years since Russia launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.
That effort comes at a delicate time for Ukraine. Mr. Zelensky’s administration is caught in a corruption scandal; the Ukrainian Army is facing growing pressure on the battlefield; Russian airstrikes are battering Ukraine’s energy grid as winter approaches; and the civilian death toll is mounting.
According to a draft posted online by a Ukrainian lawmaker, the proposal would require Ukraine to change its constitution to prohibit any effort to join NATO. It would force Kyiv to recognize Russian control of the eastern Donetsk and Luhansk regions, parts of which Ukraine still holds. And it would cap the size of the Ukrainian Army at 600,000, down from an estimated current strength of more than 800,000.
The proposal would also bar the presence of NATO troops inside Ukraine, which would derail a European plan to help ensure the country’s postwar security.

If Ukraine agrees to end the war, the proposal says, it would be given frozen Russian assets to help pay for its reconstruction. Kyiv would also receive what the plan calls reliable security guarantees, promising a military response if Russia invaded again but offering few details.
If Moscow did invade again, the proposal says, sanctions would be reinstated and Moscow would lose benefits included in the agreement. Those sweeteners include major Russian goals like readmittance to the Group of 8, reintegration into the global economy and joint investment opportunities with the United States.
The plan was drafted by Steve Witkoff, a Trump administration envoy for peace missions, and Kirill Dmitriev, a Russian counterpart. The Kremlin has deflected questions about whether it supports the 28-point plan.
But European leaders scrambled to respond to a plan that had largely excluded them and to demonstrate their continued support for Ukraine.
Stefan Kornelius, a spokesman for Chancellor Friedrich Merz of Germany, said in a statement that Mr. Merz, President Emmanuel Macron of France and Prime Minister Keir Starmer of Britain had assured Mr. Zelensky during a call on Friday of “their continued and full support on the path to a lasting and just peace.” The statement did not explicitly mention the U.S.-Russian plan.

On their call, the leaders welcomed the U.S. efforts to end the war but insisted on a need to protect “vital European and Ukrainian interests in the long term.”
“The Ukrainian armed forces must remain capable of effectively defending Ukraine’s sovereignty,” the statement said, adding that “any agreement affecting European states, the European Union, or NATO requires the consent of European partners or a consensus among allies.”
The Trump administration is pursuing multiple streams of diplomacy to end the war in Ukraine, and it is still unclear how the proposed 28-point plan fits into the administration’s overall strategy.
But Ukrainian and European officials have already balked at the reported terms of the U.S.-Russia peace plan, which would also forgo any role for a Western peacekeeping force after a cease-fire.
“If Ukraine accepts this, there will be no Ukraine anymore,” Marko Mihkelson, the chairman of the Estonian Parliament’s Foreign Affairs Committee, wrote on social media. “If Europe accepts this, we must prepare for a direct war with Russia.”

Mr. Starmer said after arriving in South Africa for a Group of 20 meeting being held this weekend that “we all want a just and lasting peace.”
“That’s what the president of America wants. That’s what we all want. And so we need to work from where we are to that end,” he said. “But the principle that Ukraine must determine its future under its sovereignty is a fundamental principle.”
In Moscow, the Kremlin warned that Ukraine must enter into negotiations “now” or face losing more territory.
Dmitri S. Peskov, President Vladimir V. Putin’s spokesman, told reporters on Friday that Mr. Zelensky’s “room for maneuver regarding decision-making is shrinking as territories are lost” to the Russian Army.
“Continuing is senseless and dangerous for them,” Mr. Peskov said, referring to Ukrainian leadership.
