US Insists It Authored Ukraine Peace Plan

Sunday, November 23, 2025

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has insisted that a proposed plan to end the Ukraine war, which has been widely viewed as favourable to Russia, was "authored by the US". It comes after a group of senators said they had been told by Rubio that the draft - which one said he described as a Russian "wish list" - did not reflect Washington's position.

So the US was aware that the world thought the document was US endorsed, yet waited until now to clarify that it wasn't? How could the US have communicated to Ukraine that they had to accept the proposal or lose US support without clarifying that the Russian proposal wasn't actually their proposal?

Trump allowed Russia to create this plan. I mean, just look at the thing. They were too supine, stupid, and lazy to do anything else.

God bless Ukraine. I think that they will continue to resist. There was a time that America would.

Russia knows that's in the Epstein Files, and I'm pretty sure that they have a copy.

"Trump says Ukraine ungrateful as officials meet to convince Kyiv to accept peace proposals

US President Donald Trump says Ukraine's leaders have shown "zero gratitude" over US efforts to end the war"

What... no gratitude for the US pushing a Russian-made Plan? Inconvievable!

Real simple solution to this war: the US "stores" a couple dozen cruise missiles and US fighter jets on Ukrainian soil and Ukraine promises to allow their removal in 10 years, unless they must use them first for national defense. The Russian army can then govern themselves accordingly ...

Tough call for Zelensky. Surrender and get nothing or be eventually wiped out.

That's because you aren't smart enough to have this conversation.

I remain to be convinced that such an insistence of being the author of this Ukraine surrender plan is A Good Thing for the US.

"US senators say Rubio told them Trump's Ukraine peace plan is Russia's wish list'
By Associated Press
2 hr ago

"This administration was not responsible for this release in its current form," said Republican Mike Rounds from South Dakota, speaking at a security conference in Canada. "They want to utilize it as a starting point."

Rounds said "it looked more like it was written in Russian to begin with."

The senators said they spoke to Rubio after he reached out to some of them while on his way to Geneva for talks on the plan. Independent Maine Sen. Angus King said Rubio told them the plan "was not the administration's plan" but a "wish list of the Russians."

Imagine how much trouble we would be in if this Admin were anywhere near competent in their evil intents.

@#19 ... All that did was keep the war going ...

It helped Ukraine protect its current and future sovereignty, something that Pres trump seems to care little about.

Merz warns Ukraine's sovereignty is non-negotiable
www.dw.com

... The German chancellor told DW that Europe cannot support elements of a contentious US plan on Ukraine. He also warned that a Thursday deadline set by Donald Trump is not realistic.

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz on Sunday told DW that Europe was facing a "deep threat" to its security architecture as negotiations continue in Geneva over a controversial US plan.

Merz said Ukraine's sovereignty must not be sacrificed as part of any arrangement, which Washington wants agreed by Thursday. ...

#19 Apparently, Left Hind Turds didn't want to keep the war in Ukraine going.

What were the Ukrainians supposed to do, Left Hind Turds: Surrender to Putin???

Are you up for the replacement for Lil Rubio when he's finished going through the orange ringer?

#12 'Tis so considerate of Left Hind Turds to flag your post "Funny."

It helps the algorithm boost the visibility of said post, and even helps to move it to the Recently Flagged section where, again, its visibility is increased.

#24 | Posted by A_Friend at 2025-11-23 02:39 PM

All that did was [help Ukraine kill 200,000 Russkies, wound another 800,000, wreck the Russian economy for generations to come without risking a single American life. Removing Russia as a credible threat, all for total cost in five years to Americans of about a fifth of what we spend on our military every single year]

FTFY, not that MAGATs see the destruction of Russia as a bad thing nowadays, ever since they swore their allegiance to an Obese Orange Bag of Pus and decided they hate the FBI and love Russia.

Nobody is buying the lie about the "Peace Plan" a/k/a the traitor President's total sellout of IUkraine! Finally even Republicans are seeing what a traitor Trump really is!

#26 It is a reality they can no longer sustain.

With apologies to Molly Ivins, maybe something was lost in the Russian-to-German-to-English translation.

Keeping the war going, rather than have Russia roll over Ukraine?
Don't lie, that's not "nothing" to you.
That's your side, failing to win.

Why do you support Russia? I don't get it. Care to explain?

This gullible moron lies about the Bidens while completely ignoring the actual money laundering going on with Trump's crypto and DJT stock scam that keeps pumping money in his pocket as he sells his shares in the worthless company.

And that's not counting deals his son and son-in-law are making due to Trump's being in the WH.

Rigger please!

It's just friendly a word of advice. Take it or leave it.

I don't cut and run from liars. Liars are known cowards who try to hide behind lies.

Your lies define you.

Your current handle will always be known as a hateful liar. No one here will ever believe a word you type without verification from 2 reliable sources. Everything you say is immediately suspect.

But hey.. If that's how you want to be known then that's your choice and that's fine by me.

You are known.
