Exactly. For 2 months, Trump administration has offered Moscow only carrots in its bid to end #Russia-#Ukraine war. It has sticks to pressure Kremlin. It should use them. thebulwark.com/p/trump-failin…

Trump's claim that he could end #Russia-#Ukraine war in 24 hours indicated he did not understand war's complexities or just made claim up out of thin air.

No, Putin has been playing Trump masterfully. Two months of US carrots and concessions for #Russia. Only sticks for #Ukraine. Sad that Trump does not even know he's being played. thebulwark.com/p/trump-failin…

If true, US plan to secure #Russia-#Ukraine ceasefire: - leaves Ukrainian territories under Russian occupation - rules out NATO security guarantee but does not appear to offer alternative - eases sanctions on Russia. Why does Washington think this would appeal to Kyiv? 🤔

Sometimes it seems the cruelty is the point.

French President Macron seeks to draw scientists and researchers who might otherwise come to work at US universities and businesses. Given past 3 months, he likely will succeed. Not good for science and innovation in America.

This would be good start -- find someone who does not take everything Russians say at face value.

In 2014, Russia used military force to seize Crimea and supported fighting in Donbas. Nothing has done more to push Ukraine toward NATO than Russian policy of past 12 years.

Just and durable peace is preferable solution. Unfortunately, Trump administration's mediation bid is failing. If war goes on and Russia continues to rain missiles down on Ukrainian cities, that will be Trump's failure as well.

Suspect MAGA and almost all Americans are perfectly happy to leave this kind of job to migrants.

Yes. It would be good to have that Secretary Marco Rubio back.

What about Pompeo Declaration during first Trump administration? US pledged to reject #Russia’s attempted annexation of #Crimea and maintain that policy until #Ukraine’s territorial integrity was restored.

How about assigning Witkoff to resolve US tariff dispute with Heard and MacDonald Islands?

Also directly contradict's Trump policy adopted just 7 years ago (Pompeo Declaration on non-recognition of Russia's attempted annexation of Crimea).

And why not? Trump lets Russia get away with it.

Putin announces "Easter truce." Minutes after it was supposed to begin, Russian drones inbound for Kyiv. #Ukraine accepted US proposal for 30-day ceasefire. #Russia did not. Were Trump administration serious about brokering end to war, it would be applying pressure on Moscow.

On March 6, Gen Kellogg told Council on Foreign Relations that Trump administration would use carrots and sticks to seek end to #Russia-#Ukraine war. One month ago, Kyiv accepted US-proposed 30-day ceasefire. Moscow did not. Administration has taken no steps to press Russia. Where are the sticks?

No surprise. Russian system discourages giving the boss bad news.

Is this the same part of North Carolina for which Trump administration will stop further 100% cost share funding by FEMA? ncnewsline.com/2025/04/12/fem…
