A Christmas Treat

A CHRISTMAS TREAT: (And, please, someone tell President Obama to watch this and re-evaluate whether “Russia basically is a big gas station”, as he was told by John McCain and Harvard economist.) I truly hope you will find time to enjoy. Warm wishes to all.

Productivity in Miami

Witkoff & Kushner Miami talks with Dmitriev Saturday termed “productive and constructive”, as he flies home to brief Putin. Same words used for Witkoff/Kushner talks with Ukrainians and other Europeans on Sunday in Miami. Where’s Waldo? – er, I mean Rubio?

The Real Action in Miami

Larry & I have spirited discussion at Intel Roundtable. My view: Now that Witkoff has done his duty by stalwartly staying awake, while pretending to listen to the Europeans and Zelensky, the real action resumes today with Dmitriev in Miami sans Europeans.

Ye Ole Delusional European Union

Early morning take on Russia/US/Ukraine – oh yes almost forgot – Europe. US has been going through the motions pretending to listen to delusional EU kleptocrat/functionaries. The real action shifts to Miami with Dmitriev tomorrow.

Requiem for NATO

Requiem for NATO. Trump keeping troops close to “homeland” to deal with “threats” in Venezuela? at home? On Ukraine, The Three Blind Mice, Zelensky, and supporting cast keep having meetings. Will Ursula be able to pick Putin’s pocket? We may know tomorrow.

Fateful Week for Ukraine

Some levity yesterday morning with Judge even as a fateful week dawns for Ukraine. Did Witkoff talk turkey to the Ukrainians? Will Ursula succeed in picking Putin’s pocket? Putin waiting for yes or no from Trump on keeping New START limits for another year
