Debate grows as Ukraine is hit by one of the biggest aerial bombardments of the war

GENEVA, Nov 14 (Reuters) – Russia is open to negotiations on an end to the Ukraine war if initiated by U.S. President-elect Donald Trump, but any talks need to be based on the realities of Russian advances, Moscow’s ambassador to the U.N. in Geneva told reporters on Thursday.

Gabbard is well positioned to become the most influential advisor to President Trump regarding the critical foreign policy and national security problems that will be faced by his administration.

To keep the U.S. safe and prosperous, the defense gravy train must end.

Trump has been rolling out appointee names at lightning pace

It’s complicated.

In 2022, Biden pledged to defeat Russia. But today, Russia is winning the war. Americans love winners, and hate losers. Had Biden defeated Putin, he’d now be a national hero.

Ukraine has been building on its “victory plan” for the incoming Trump administration, highlighting potential business deals, access to raw materials and troop deployments in an effort to sway the famously transactional US president-elect.

One must admit – when many expected turbulences, accusations of cheating, lawsuits, and even outright violence, Trump’s sailing to victory was pretty smooth. However, what comes next is still unpredictable. After recovering from the shock, Harris called Trump to congratulate him and emphasize the importance of accepting the election results. She added that the White House administration would facilitate a peaceful power transfer to aid the transition process. Biden, in turn, has invited Trump to a traditional post-election meeting at the White House, and both President and Vice-President will attend the inauguration ceremony.

Newspaper headlines and television pundits are screaming that Donald Trump’s election is a threat to “our democracy.” A strange charge following an election when a clear majority of voters chose the winner. Isn’t that consistent with the very definition of “democracy”?
