Or by ‘problematic things’ he means he can’t tell the thruth because of Trump.

Politically, economically and mentally, Trump is a disaster. He does not know his file and parrots others. Like Putin.
The attack on Sumy was not a mistake, but a deliberate act of terror. Trump doesn't dare say that. Why not?

Retribution is in the air. Let the 112th and 448th missile brigade be careful of birds flying overhead.

… and Trump takes no action.

Daar ging mijn opmerking niet over. Wel over hoe NRC daar verslag van doet. Of in dit geval halfslachtig verslag van doet.

Allemaal waar wat u zegt. Ik ben het er niet mee oneens. Maar ik zeg wat anders. Namelijk dat NRC melding had moeten doen van Kelloggs kanttekening bij het Times-interview. Dan kan de lezer oordelen wat Kelloggs woorden waard zijn. Het is niet terecht dat NRC niet het hele verhaal vertelt.

Why both sides? Ukraine has agreed to the US ceasefire. The Russian Federation does not do that. Why won't the White House name the Russians as the ones blocking the truce?

Kellogg heeft achteraf zijn woorden van het Times-interview genuanceerd. Hij zei het niet te hebben gehad over een opdeling van Oekraïne.
NRC zit op het verkeerde spoor door zelfs in de kop te praten over Oekraïnes opdeling. Uren na Kelloggs rectificatie. NRC had zich breder moeten informeren.

Does Witkoff seem the idiot he is? How sustainable will the ceasefire be? To the corner?

Imagine if the Germans had objected to the deployment of Allied troops in occupied Western Europe in 1944.
Putin has no say over which troops are stationed in Ukraine. His objections are in themselves a violation of Ukraine's sovereignty.

The bond market obliged him. Trump did a Liz Truss.

Ultimately? When? If Trump is succeeded by a Democrat in 2029?

The North-Koreans operated in the Kursk-region, Russia. The Chinese on Ukrainian soil. That is the difference.

Het valt te bezien of het een terugtrekking is of een relocatie.
Kyiv Independent zegt: ‘The redeployment, which will move assets to other locations in Poland, follows months of planning and is part of a broader strategy to optimize U.S. military operations across the region.’

No, Trump is not playing the E.U. like a fiddle. Trump is playing the US like a fiddle. And Putin is playing Trump like a fiddle. China is playing Putin like a fiddle.
What incredible false music.

Anton, as you know, Kemal Atatürk introduced in 1928 the Latin script in Turkey. And Arabic was abolished. This had linguistic reasons, but was also a sign of the reforms and westernization of Turkey.
Why doesn't Ukraine do something similar and move away from the Russian-dominated Cyrillic script?

So, according to Hassett Ukraine is not in the middle of peace negotiations.

Hoezo oorlogvoeren? Zolang de programma’s het uitgangspunt zijn hoeven ze elkaar niet in de weg te zitten. Ze moeten niet op elkaar reageren, maar zelfverzekerd hun eigen ding doen. Laat het breed zijn: zware informatie, drama, kunst en humor.

Fico is an idiot. But that's the problem with people like that. They kick against institutions they want to be appreciated by.

Trump will be too old for a third term. And … Barack Obama will crush him in the elections.

It is incredible that the Democrats still have no answer to Trump after his ten years of active politics. Did they sleep the whole time? Why are they letting Trump destroy the American republic and are in disarray?

Europe and the US are no longer allies, but enemies. Trump does what Russia wants in furthering Russian imperialism.

Exactly!

Congratulations US to act from now on without friends and allies. Good luck with isolationism.
Good luck with national security. Without listening posts abroad and with scaled back defense mechanisms against Russia, China and Iran.
That's begging for domestic problems.

That sounds too final. Suppose Putin's criminal regime is ousted by an uprising and a democratic government is established. Then confidence in NATO will be quickly restored.
The bigger problem seems to be Canada's and Europe's confidence in the US. Trump2 is unreliable and hates Canada and Europe.

How can you negotiate with an unwilling aggressor if there is no third party to set conditions? What kind of strange American negotiations are these?
