Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.
For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †

Zelenskyy appears for an interview with Bret Baier to discuss the collapse of discussions today at the White House.
Again and again, Zelenskyy outlines his view of “security guarantees” which includes the baseline component of USA troops on the ground. Zelenskyy will not accept any negotiations or ceasefire arrangement without U.S. troops in Ukraine.
This same “security guarantee” demand (U.S. Troops in Ukraine) applies also to the minerals guarantee. WATCH:

Secretary of State Marco Rubio carries the same level of frustration as his boss, President Donald Trump.
Appearing on CNN, Secretary Rubio outlines the background of weeks of opposition from the Ukraine leader as Zelenskyy continually rejects a ceasefire discussion without assurances the U.S. will put troops on the battlefield to secure the ceasefire.
From Zelenskyy’s continually expressed perspective, only if U.S. and NATO troops are at risk of being killed, is he willing to pause the combat to enter peace negotiations. These are the assurances, the “security guarantees” he demands. President Trump is not willing to put U.S. troops tenuously into place between Ukrainians and Russians; it would be foolish.
Secretary Rubio is strongly committed to the vision President Trump has, where killing stops so that peace negotiations can begin. Zelenskyy is not willing to accept a ceasefire, that’s the core problem. WATCH:
.
As previously stated, Zelenskyy is operating from a position where he believes the CIA, global intelligence apparatus, NATO and the EU Commission are willing to keep supporting and financing him.

“Thus saith the LORD, Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might, let not the rich man glory in his riches: But let him that glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth and knoweth me, that I am the LORD which exercise lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness, in the earth: for in these things I delight, saith the LORD.” ~ Jeremiah 9:23, 24
President Trump delivers impromptu remarks departing the White House.

After a heated discussion in the Oval Office where Volodymyr Zelenskyy rejected any proposal for a ceasefire and expressed his sense of power that stems from a legislative branch supporting his futile war by proxy.
Accepting that Zelenskyy is not in a mindset that can lead to peace, President Trump ended any further conversation with Zelenskyy until the Ukranian President changes his tone.
Delivering a message from his Truth Social account, President Trump ends the conversation:

Just a reminder of a pattern that was clearly visible soon after the November election. The current status:
The Trump administration has some serious people doing extraordinarily important work. The CIA team are facing a challenge few can fathom and yet they appear to be making progress. When the details surface, they will hopefully get praise.
The State Dept team, obviously working closely with the CIA team, are likewise doing exceptional groundwork. Secretary Rubio does appear to be downsizing the tentacles of the geopolitical influence operation.
The DNI group (domestic IC) and DHS team also appear to be laying the groundwork for major changes and confronting decades of institutional wrongdoing. Tom Homan is working through the process and DHS praise and appreciation seem well warranted.
The economic team is first-in-class, and the emissaries are working the Economic Security and National Security dynamic. These policies enmesh with other operations and DJT/Lutnick are brilliantly coordinating a smooth outflow of positive global influence.
However, AS PREDICTED, don’t expect the DOJ/FBI silos to be anything except a hot mess. The appointed leaders have all the support needed, but the nominated heads generally do not seem to have any idea how to get their “arms around” the problems. The DOJ/FBI reform agenda is not likely to go anywhere.
This thread will refresh daily and appear above the Open Discussion Thread.
