Sir Keir Starmer’s plan for an international force to support a ceasefire in Ukraine has been dismissed as “a posture and a pose” by Donald Trump’s special envoy.
Steve Witkoff said the idea was based on a “simplistic” notion of the UK prime minister and other European leaders thinking “we have all got to be like Winston Churchill”.
**In an interview with pro-Trump journalist Tucker Carlson, Witkoff praised Vladimir Putin, saying he “liked” the Russian president.
“I don’t regard Putin as a bad guy,” he said. “He’s super smart.”**
You seem to be thinking things will be way, way more normal in 3-4 years than they likely will be.
If we have any kind of fair elections on 3-4 years it will mean some very serious other shit went down first. And that’s the stuff that’s more likely to leave an impression.
