The fact that I had to breathe a sigh of relief that Witkoff and Kushner rejected the proposal tells you something about the world we’re living in.
KyivPost@KyivPost

Putin proposed to Trump halting intelligence sharing with Iran in exchange for the US ending support for Ukraine, Politico reports. The offer was conveyed by Russian envoy Kirill Dmitriev to Trump administration representatives Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner during a meeting in Miami last week. US officials rejected the proposal, according to sources.

The Trump Organization “looks forward to … redefining [Cluj’s] dynamic skyline.” 🧐

Famously, the opposite of totalitarianism is end-times quasi-religious conspiratorial hallucination.

The problem isn’t that Trump alienated America’s allies before finding he needed them. It’s that needing them to finish a war he should never have started—and on which he refused to consult them—underscores why NATO no longer serves European interests. ft.com/content/1ca6d1…

Better late than never (maybe): While Trump is busy with Iran, Europe has a chance to get its act together on Ukraine and seize back control its own security. Will it? open.substack.com/pub/tldrussia/…

I’m not sure I know what “very complete, pretty much” means, but credit where it’s due: Trump, unlike Putin, understands when the game’s no longer worth the taper.

In fairness, Europe perceives less escalation risk and more security top cover from the US in the Middle East than in Ukraine. It’s an easier calculation. But yes, Europe should ask itself why — and what the consequences are.
Phillips P. OBrien@PhillipsPOBrien

The willingness of major European states such as Britain and France to send their military forces to actively defend counties in the Middle East but not to defend Ukraine shows how Europe has a distorted sense of its own interests.

Finally, while Putin needs Trump, he will be happy for this to lead to a structural weakening in American positions globally -- which it almost certainly will. Putin needs American help now re: Ukraine, but his overarching objective is still American weakness. /END

Fifth, as miffed as Putin might be personally, he's not going to throw his relationship with Trump under the bus. For one thing, it won't bring Khamenei back. But more importantly, Trump is Putin's greatest source of leverage over Europe. He'll keep his eye on the ball. /6

FWIW (and caveat emptor): I don't see the death of Khamenei having much impact, if any at all, on Russia or on how it prosecutes the war in Ukraine. (A quick 🧵) /1
