'I am in utter disbelief at the 28-point American peace plan for Ukraine that has been circulating in the news media..
..
President Zelensky and his European allies should reject this plan and develop a realistic, fair, and feasible proposal of their own, with conditions that are acceptable to Ukraine and respect international law. This is a bamboozle of epic proportions.
As if the terms of this plan weren’t already terrifying enough, the document also marks a remarkable retreat of US leadership, signalling to Putin’s Russia and other authoritarian regimes that violent aggression is perfectly acceptable and, I suspect, even respectable to the US government.
I never thought I’d live to see the US turn into a proponent of appeasement, riding roughshod over the concerns and interests of its closest allies, while trying to please a brutal dictator who appears to have been pulling the strings all along. In some ways, this feels worse than Neville Chamberlain’s failed efforts. At least
his heart seemed in the right place...'
