Witkoff's interview with Carlson: are they just pretending?

22 March, 2025 Saturday

Trump's buddy, his golf partner, and negotiator with Russia Witkoff claims that Russia held fair referendums in Crimea and Kherson, that people made their choice, and if not for Zelenskyy's political ambitions, everyone would have recognized it and moved on*

At that moment, he was probably imagining a referendum in Greenland after the arrival of the aircraft carrier force. 

"In general, Putin doesn't want all of Ukraine because he doesn't need it, and he wants to play hockey and live in peace. Well, because Putin says so, and of course, he wouldn't lie."

And then he almost cries when he says that Putin commissioned a portrait of Trump from a Russian artist and sent it through him, and also prayed for the president's health and ear after the shooting. It would certainly be interesting to see this portrait. Medvedchuk and Pshonka used to have such portraits.

The U.S. Secretary of Commerce is live on a major TV channel, encouraging people to buy Tesla stocks. And it's somehow okay. The whole government is saving Private Musk from bankruptcy, promising execution if you look at Tesla disrespectfully.

Elon Musk's father says his son is not a racist because he was very close to black servants during apartheid. Probably never beat them with a cane. He also sighs and says how the country has gone to s**t, how good it was in South Africa during apartheid. Maybe he even shed a tear. And he didn’t even do a Nazi salute during the conversation. He was probably trying hard.

What Musk himself constantly says – we already know. And we’re just waiting for him to finally fly off to Mars. But for some reason, he’s staying.

And each of these people is a billionaire. By the way.

And then there are all those brain-dead ministers and TV hosts at the head of the Pentagon. 

One question. How???!!! Are they pretending now? Are they actually geniuses in business and negotiations?

And how long can this all work without falling apart?
