A Deal to Save Lives

The White House has indicated negotiations with Russia and Ukraine are beginning to come to a head, and may be resolved as soon as this week. Democrats and progressive media are stuck reviving a Russian Hoax.

It seems like only a few years ago that Democrats and progressive news sources were criticizing Trump and Putin's relationship until Special counsel John Durham released his 300-plus page report in May 2023. "Based on the review of Crossfire Hurricane and related intelligence activities, we conclude that the (Justice) Department and FBI failed to uphold their important mission of strict fidelity to the law in connection with certain events and activities described in this report," Durham wrote. It was a Democrat Hoax.

Does anyone remember President Biden's role in the Russian incursion into Ukraine? You know, when Russia had amassed 100,000 troops along its border with Ukraine with all the signs of an invasion? In January 2022 a reporter asked Biden how America might respond to possible Russian aggression against Ukraine. President Biden replied, "I think what you're going to see is that Russia will be held accountable if it invades. And it depends on what it does. It's one thing if it's a minor incursion and then we end up having a fight about what to do and not do, et cetera."

Ukrainian President Zelenskyy replied to Biden's comment saying, "We want to remind the great powers that there are no minor incursions and small nations," Zelenskyy said in a tweet. "Just as there are no minor casualties and little grief from the loss of loved ones."

Biden's White House scrambled to clarify the U.S. position, "If any Russian military forces move across the Ukrainian border, that's a renewed invasion, and it will be met with a swift, severe, and united response from the United States and our Allies," Press Secretary Jen Psaki said. That was three years ago, and that's where we "circle back" to today.

President Trump has done more to end the war in Ukraine in three-plus weeks than Biden and Democrats did in three years, and Democrats are blaming Trump for not doing enough and not doing it fast enough to end the war.

Under Biden's leadership, the U.S. has given more than $350 billion to Ukraine to fight the war. This money was not a loan. It was a gift from American taxpayers. President Trump has come up with a deal to recoup that money, to end the war, and to help Ukraine regrow its nation and economy.

Last week U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent told Fox News' Maria Bartiromo "the deal could set Ukraine on a great growth trajectory that also benefits U.S. taxpayers." Bessent continued, "The first part of this is a partnership between Ukraine and the U.S. that involves strategic minerals, energy and state-owned enterprises, where we set up a partnership."

Bessent explained, "We make money if the Ukrainian people make money, and I believe that with the United States of America, our businesses are willing to come in and provide capital that we can accelerate the Ukrainian growth trajectory and take in substantial monies for the U.S. taxpayers and get the Ukrainian economy on a great growth trajectory."

The deal may stop a war and save thousands of lives.
