Oh, he is always up for a chat. Why win fighting, employing resources and getting Ruzzians killed if you can just talk to an old guy and convince him to give you what you want just because you have a beautiful smile.

Anyway, I hope that Witkoff and Trump finally understand that due to years of mental conditioning, Putin is unable to tell a straight naked truth even if he wanted. There is a way to play this and is to make sure the front moves East and the oil moves nowhere. And it has to be understood that anything that Putin has signed in the past, he has broken, so guarantees of weight are essential.

BTW Putin and Ladrov do not care about Europe - perhaps because they are victims of their own propaganda.
