Vance defends Witkoff and the US-Russia peace course of.
Ever for the reason that historic US-Russia summit in Alaska between Donald J. Trump and Vladimir Putin, the MSM has doubled down of their relentless efforts to sabotage the peace course of – a working relationship between the nuclear superpowers is the whole lot that Euro-Globalists and Neocons concern for the longer term.
One of many ways in which the western press tries to destroy prospects for peace in Ukraine and renewed US-Russia ties is by attacking the Trump’s Particular Envoy Steve Witkoff.
The reason being easy: he’s very efficient, so he have to be painted as a Putin stooge or one thing to this impact.
And that’ s what Politico’s Felicia Schwartz did yesterday:

Vice President JD Vance got here out swinging after that, with an extended, scathing publish that deserves publication in its entirety:
JD Vance on X:
“This story from Politico is journalistic malpractice. Nevertheless it’s greater than that: it’s a overseas affect operation meant to harm the administration and one in every of our best members.
Discover how the entire folks attacking Steve are on background? Which means it’s two or three deep staters who’re offended that Witkoff has succeeded the place they’ve failed.
what this ‘reporter’ not noted to make room for nameless quotes?
The complete quote from the sitting vp, on the report.

A quote from Jared Kushner, on the report.
The complete quote from the UK’s Jonathan Powell, one of the revered nationwide safety folks within the Western World, who defended Steve vigorously from these malicious smears.
The one who wrote this rubbish is @felschwartz
Other than the failure to incorporate on the report info straight contradicting her reporting, I’m wondering if she ever requested herself why these nameless sources got here to her at this second with this explicit story. They’ve an agenda to explode the president’s efforts to make peace, and so they noticed her as a helpful vessel to launder rubbish into the dialog, fact be damned.
There are two potential explanations: Felicia is simply not very sensible, and allowed herself for use by deep state con males. Or she’s in on it, and used her place to willingly take part in a literal overseas affect operation. Both method, it’s disgraceful.
To set the report straight: Steve Witkoff is a useful member of our workforce. He didn’t mislead anybody on what the Russians informed him and what the Russians conceded. (Belief me, I’ve seen the intel.) The fruits of his negotiations are that we now have narrowed the record of open points within the Russia-Ukraine struggle to a set of clearly outlined points–particularly, safety ensures and territorial concessions.
Perhaps we make peace, and possibly we don’t. If we do, it will likely be as a result of Steve Witkoff and the President of the US labored their tails off, within the face of outright lies from the mainstream press.”
