Hey Jake Tapper when Steve Witkoff talks about "land swaps" for peace he is talking about surrender.

And that means the surrender of @ least 25% of Ukrainian citizens and its lands, along with its strategic minerals, and then with letting Putin and Russia walk away from some horrific war crimes too.

As a smart DUer posted 3 days ago if Russia wants peace all they have to do is stop
fighting and go home and that includes the Crimean Peninsula too but if Ukraine
stops fighting then their country will disappear and there will never be peace for the
Ukrainians.

Land Swaps aka surrender of Ukrainian lands and people to Vlad Putin.
A man who gave his troops viagra so they could rape women and children.

Witkoff is smart enough to be a billionaire, and have the title of United States Special Assistant
to the President for Peace. But he sounded like a time share vacation condo salesman
and Jake Tapper just sucks and he did not call out Witkoff on his lies such as Russia being “flexible”
on the redrawing of new borders.
