Trump’s special envoy to Russia, Steve Witkoff, acted like Putin’s envoy to the US and served up Vladimir Putin’s propaganda on the Fox News Sunday program, hook, line, and sinker.
Witkoff, a real estate developer put in charge by Trump, is completely unqualified and out of his depth negotiating with a sociopath like Putin, but is perfectly capable of regurgitating how Russians feel about their invasion of Ukraine.
BREAM: You seem convinced that he doesn’t want to expand the territory beyond what he’s taken now I know there’s going to be conversation about how much of that Ukraine does or doesn’t get back. But you’re convinced that he’s not going to go further or have aspirations towards Europe. Obviously, they’re concerned about that being much closer to this geographically, but 2014 we had Crimea. That hasn’t come back. He’s gone far beyond that in this most recent attack on Ukraine. So why are you convinced that he won’t press further if he’s given some reward or some territory this time around?
WITKOFF: Well, look he’s he’s been at war for several years it’s in large part been about those five regions and it’s in his speeches. There’s a view within the country of Russia that that these are Russian territories. That there are referendums within these territories that that justify these actions. This is not me taking sides I’m just identifying what the issues are.
