Terry Glavin: Trump throws Ukraine under the bus - National Post via MSN

A stupid habit that much of the western news media has adopted in reporting on the Trump administration’s various intrigues and contrivances related to Vladimir Putin’s savage war on Ukraine is the extravagant employment of the term “peace plan.”

The term gained almost immediately undeserved currency after Donald Trump’s return to the White House last January, when the American foreign-policy establishment was dragooned into an effort to extort $500 billion from Ukraine in a spoils-of-war minerals deal.

The arrangement, now nearly moribund , was no “peace plan.” Its purpose was to satisfy... Trump’s determination to recoup what he falsely claimed was $300 billion the United States had spent to assist Ukraine in defending itself after Russia’s full-on invasion in 2022. 

(Here Glavin explains why Trump's claims were a LIE (surprise surprise), who actually paid what, how the plan came about, how 'it was almost entirely a Russian concoction,' and who the key players were.)

When the bombshell disclosures made it clear that the Witkoff-Dmitriev pact contained mostly Putin’s terms for Ukraine’s surrender, European leaders demanded a halt to Trump’s sabotage. The “peace plan” required Ukraine’s total capitulation — a surrender of Crimea and great swathes of Eastern Ukraine to Russia, a subjugation of NATO to Russian demands for Ukraine’s permanent exclusion, a massive reduction in the size of Ukraine’s military, the prohibition of any NATO troops on Ukrainian soil, a U.S.-enforced pardon for Putin for all his war crimes, a return of Moscow to the G7, and a lifting of all sanctions on Russia.

One helluva deal, eh?
