So non-governmental officials are meeting in Switzerland? I'm confused why this is news?

    Not sure if you’ve noticed but there’s been quite a bit of non-government officials actively participating in the US government right now

      The article makes it clear that they have no clue if that is the case and they also have no clue who were even there. Maybe there is something nefarious going on, but the article makes no such claim.

    > Trump and all his supporters are enemies of the state.

    Are they, like, officially? Maybe Biden should have been tougher on Russia, you'd have to declare them an an enemy first for Trump to be committing treason by conspiring with them...

      Conspiring: ending the flow of unaccountable billions of dollars towards a useless war. You guys on payroll? Advocating for civil war and such?

        Well the US elite has to change the narrative slower. It is bad for the mental health of people to be so sudden.

        As Biden cooperated with Trump on the issue as noted in the article it might be a good time to announce that now.

        Ending flow of unaccountable money: probably a good thing for US budgets.

        I'm not American FYI but as an outside observer it does appear as though Trump is alienating all of the US' traditional allies and destroying the "Pax Americana". Handing Taiwan to China, embracing a murderous rogue state (Russia) that's also too poor to actually be beneficial while alienating the second largest economy in the world (the EU) all seem to be bad for maintaining America's place in the world.

        I mean, it's obviously not treason since as I pointed out, no one ever actually officially declared Russia the enemy, but do you really think it's a good idea?

          If the funding is the issue, then we could just end that. That could be done without selling out Ukraine and rewarding Russia for invading neighboring nations.

          > it's obviously not treason

          I suspect he meant morally, not legally. The present administration appears to be doing everything possible to destroy the US from within. Call that what you will.

          It might be unrealistic to ask for Trump to have diplomatic prowess.

      He definitely should have and his weak response is a major part of the reason the war is still ongoing. But at least he didn't side with russia.

        Unfortunately the result is the same, but with more death and destruction. Letting Ukraine slowly die (remember, they were still losing territory when Biden left office) is the same as siding with Russia. Nice words don't bring back lost family members.
