Any move to “wipe the slate clean” for Russia in a peace deal would be “a historic mistake of huge proportions,” the EU justice commissioner tells POLITICO.
Donald Trump’s drive to secure peace in Ukraine must not let Vladimir Putin off the hook for war crimes committed by Russian forces, a top EU official has warned, effectively setting a new red line for a deal.
In an interview with POLITICO, Michael McGrath, the European commissioner for justice and democracy, said negotiators must ensure the push for a ceasefire does not result in Russia escaping prosecution.
His comments reflect concerns widely held in European capitals that the original American blueprint for a deal included the promise of a “full amnesty for actions committed during the war,” alongside plans to reintegrate Russia into the world economy.
Russian money told me otherwise - Trump
USA geopolitical decisions, believe it or not, are made by US oligarchs and politicians, not by the evil eastern bad man. The USA needs to have accountability for the results of its policy and stop blaming third parties for it
There’s a lot less russian money than there used to be.
Yes but bribing trump is surprisingly cheap compared to the economic benefit that will get
Like the $1 mil dinner that would allowed Nvidia to make billions selling the GPUs to China (if China didn’t forbid anyone to buy those cards)
Or the tacky gold Rolex bribe that lowered tariffs to Swiss from 40 to 15%
Or that gold ingot from Tim Apple.
And so on
Basically Trumps whole philosophy is “If you have money you’re above the law”. It’s what Peter Thiel, Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, etc are banking on while supporting him.
Good thing Puttie doesn’t store his wealth in rubles.
