While Zelenskyy is in Berlin firming up support from Germany, France the U.K and EU allies around the concept of expanded conflict with Russia, while Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney shares his support from the sidelines of the Commonwealth in the Caribbean, the Kremlin has announced their representative for upcoming talks in Abu Dhabi.
In a slight change from previous discussions, President Vladimir Putin’s primary aide Vladimir Medinsky will serve as Moscow’s chief negotiator at the organized talks in Abu Dhabi Nov. 10-11.

There is something different about this round of talks considering the successful 6-day ceasefire in Oleshky, Ukraine, which was led by the outreach of First Lady Melania Trump toward representatives of both Russia and Ukraine.
Additionally, and likely much to the annoyance of those European figures who control the Ukrainian narrative, Melania Trump has announced there will be a meeting at the White House between representatives of both Russia and Ukraine later this week. Mrs. Trump is going to make public remarks Thursday, November 5th.
WHITE HOUSE – First Lady Melania Trump will personally bring representatives of Russia and Ukraine, two nations actively at war, together at the White House. This event represents an extraordinary moment in American history.

In another interesting aspect to the Kremlin announcement:
Peskov also said Tuesday the Kremlin hopes to finalize plans for a trilateral meeting between the leaders of Russia, the U.S., and China in the coming days. The comments follow earlier reports that these countries were planning to negotiate an end to the war in Ukraine, without Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy at the table. (source)
A week after the Abu Dhabi negotiations, President Trump, Chairman Xi and President Putin will be together at the APEC Summit.
This is the trilateral hard-power meeting that infuriates the sensibilities of the middle soft-powers, Ukraine, Europe and Canada.
The APEC Summit is being held in Shenzhen China on November 17th and 18th.


And life goes on. As Bob Seger sang “Turn the page”
Meaningless now
Nope.
Yes it is, Trump now negoiates from a point of complete weakenss.
Explain.
Trump doesn’t need Congress to negotiate an end to the war…. The Senate doesn’t need to ratify a peace between Russia and Cokehead Z. Cut off all money and weapons to Z and EU …. Veto any legislation that would limit President Trumps options. Pardon EVERYONE appointed by the President and turn the lights out when you leave. Republicans in House and Senate deserve to be put against a wall for what they’ve unleashed on this country by their inaction these past 2 years.
There is no cutting off the 💰💰 with the legislative branch regardless of who has a majority.
The Democrats hate Putler more than they hate Trump because he put Trump in the White House. They’ll impeach Trump if he tries to settle the conflict. The risk of escalation in Ukraine went up biggly tonight.
It takes 67 Senators. Who cares about another House impeachment.
Don’t think President Trump is gonna GAF what the Dems think…. He’s gonna get impeached constantly in the House along with the rest of the Administration….. time to go SCORCHED EARTH I think and pardon EVERYONE.
Well if they’re busy with that, there’s less time for legislating our demise.
Medinsky is to Lavrov as Witkoff is to Rubio.
==>Forget about Ukraine, turn the page.
The guys can have a little fun planning the reconstruction of Sochi. Spectacular place, now a burnt out hole in the ground. ……..Putin has a dacha there: the location is simply divine, darling.
Maybe a new TRUMP gulf course is in the works!
I needed something other than tonight’s election to go to bed on.
PT has lost so much leverage going into this meeting after tonight.
Our Democommunist majority don’t want peace and especially if it’s a positive for the Trump administration.
Orwell’s 1984 is beginning to take on flesh.
All good news.
Thank you Sundance.
A meeting between Xi, Putin and PDT without any of the EUnuchs or their cokehead puppet could end the war and set a path for destroying the Western Globalists and the City of London for several years. What recourse do the EUnuchs have if the 3 biggest influencer nations all decide they’re not playing their games anymore
Don’t care.
I would not count Trump out just yet.
The power meeting between Trump, Xi and Putin is history in the making and the possibilities that could come out of that meeting would change everything.
Or, you can be Johnny Fontaine.
God has sent the GOP and MAGA into the wilderness for another 30 years. Seems biblical.
Eisenhower to Reagan 20 years. Reagan to Trump 26 years.
Everything Trump did will be reversed since Congress didn’t write any of it into law.
Unfortunately….thank congressional “leaders” such as Thune…more than likely his $ is in the bank….or maybe not…you…errr…I mean who knows?
But it seems to be the congressional model for the past 80 or so years…at least.
MAGA
Melania Trump, our First Lady, speaks many languages so she is significant in the discussions.
Texas, Election night, IMO a lot of illegals voted. I have no evidence.
God still has his arms around me, and I will be living my best life one day at a time.
Sec. Mullin said something about going back after and checking the records to see if illegals voted.
If they did the person in charge of the election would face penalties. So we will see.
Not just Texas…
