Trump_is_Mentally_fit Posted Wednesday at 06:25 PM Author Posted Wednesday at 06:25 PM https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2025/12/02/trump-hegseth-rubio-ukraine-venezuela-boats/ Marco Rubio, who is secretary of state and Trump’s national security adviser, seemed to be neither when the president released his 28-point plan for Ukraine’s dismemberment. The plan was cobbled together by Trump administration and Russian officials, with no Ukrainians participating. It reads like a wish-list letter from Vladimir Putin to Santa Claus: Ukraine to cede land that Russia has failed to capture in almost four years of aggression; Russia to have a veto over NATO’s composition, peacekeeping forces in Ukraine and the size of Ukraine’s armed forces. And more. Rubio, whose well-known versatility of convictions is perhaps not infinite, told some of his alarmed former Senate colleagues that the plan was just an opening gambit from Russia — although Trump demanded that Ukraine accept it within days. South Dakota Republican Sen. Mike Rounds, a precise and measured speaker, reported that, in a conference call with a bipartisan group of senators, Rubio said the plan was a Russian proposal: “He made it very clear to us that we are the recipients of a proposal that was delivered to one of our representatives. It is not our recommendation. It is not our peace plan.” Hours later, however, Rubio reversed himself, saying on social media that the United States “authored” the plan.
B-Man Posted 1 hour ago Posted 1 hour ago Trump 'Little Bit Disappointed' Zelenskyy Hasn't Read Latest Peace Draft Eric Mack President Donald Trump, appearing on the red carpet at the Kennedy Center Honors on Sunday night, said he was "a little bit disappointed" in Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy for not yet reading the text of Washington's latest proposed peace plan for the Russia-Ukraine war. Trump said Zelenskyy's top Ukrainian officials "love it," and "Russia is fine with it," but stressed that Zelenskyy himself had not reviewed the document as of several hours before the event. "We've been speaking to President [Vladimir] Putin, and we've been speaking to Ukrainian leaders, including President Zelenskyy, and I have to say that I'm a little bit disappointed that President Zelenskyy hasn't yet read the proposal – that was as of a few hours ago," Trump said on the red carpet. "His people love it, but he has it. Russia's fine with it. "I'm not sure that Zelenskyy is fine with it. His people love it. But he hasn't read it, so someday you'll explain that one to me." The president offered the foreign-policy critique while moving quickly between questions on entertainment, culture, and U.S. policy during a lengthy press gaggle outside the gala. Trump — who became the first president to host the Kennedy Center Honors — spent much of the media scrum highlighting the center's renovation, which he said his administration "saved," citing more than $100 million raised for the building's restoration. He repeatedly emphasized the venue's acoustic quality and architectural heritage, promising that ongoing upgrades would make it "better than it was from day one."
