Here's what Trump and Musk plan to propose to Putin. The deal is deceitful and treacherous.

Renowned Russian opposition sociologist Igor Eidman discusses the potential outcomes of Trump and Musk's attempts to negotiate with Putin.
Трамп и Маск планируют предложить Путину нечто хитрое и предательское.

Two sages in one tub

Set sail across the sea in a storm

Elon Musk, who participated in a recent conversation between Trump and Zelensky, commented on a Newsweek report stating that Trump plans to establish an 800-mile demilitarized zone along the front line between Russia and Ukraine, where British and European troops would be stationed:

"Soon, senseless killings will come to an end. The time for warmongers and speculators is over." The Wall Street Journal reported that this "peace plan" envisions solidifying the territories occupied by Russia, creating a buffer zone along the front line, and halting Ukraine's integration into NATO for 20 years. This is apparently what Trump and Musk intend to propose to Putin and are confident about its success.

The deal is treacherous and deceitful. But that’s not even the main issue—it is completely unfeasible. Trump and Musk are truly finished "sages." Apparently, they do not realize that Putin will obviously not agree to such a "peace" option, which involves the deployment of NATO troops not just on Ukrainian territory, but in the part that Russia has formally annexed. He will simply laugh in the faces of the "sages." Rather, he will first demand the withdrawal of Ukrainian troops from the Kursk region, and then deceive and issue an ultimatum requiring the actual surrender of Ukraine. Those are his terms for "peace," and he doesn't even intend to hide them.

If the "two sages in one tub," Trump and Musk, need such a lesson, let them receive it. Perhaps they will understand something, get offended, and begin to act against the St. Petersburg con artist (although, unfortunately, I have serious doubts about that).
