Sir Keir Starmer’s plan for an international force to support a ceasefire in Ukraine has been dismissed as “a posture and a pose” by Donald Trump’s special envoy.
Steve Witkoff said the idea was based on a “simplistic” notion of the UK prime minister and other European leaders thinking “we have all got to be like Winston Churchill”.
In an interview with pro-Trump journalist Tucker Carlson, Witkoff praised Vladimir Putin, saying he “liked” the Russian president.
“I don’t regard Putin as a bad guy,” he said. “He’s super smart.”
That means it’s actually a good plan
Being berated by Trump personally should be worn as a badge of honour. I’ll accept a "personally insulted by Musk"as kind of a silver medal.
But come on… Witkoff? The only proper response is “do you kiss Trump’s butt with that mouth?”
“Don’t be going all Winston Churchill, that Stalin fellow might’ve been on to something aligning with the Nazis instead.”
