Against a new york time report that the member of the president s inner circle could be drafting a secret peace deal between the ukraine and russia. The proposal would reportedly lift u. S. Sanctions against moscow for innovating crimea. In exchanging the kremlin would withdraw troops from Eastern Ukraine but would be allowed to lease the land for up to 100 years. A Government Official slammed this proposal at the time saying the ukrainian lawmaker has no right to be pushing and alternative peace plan. President trump has said he would like to have a Good Relationship with Vladimir Putin. The report of a possible peace plan comes after former National Security advisor Michael Flynns resignation for misleading Vice President pence about discussing sanctions with russias ambassador before the inauguration. The white house is pushing back against a Washington Post report. The paper reports the head of Homeland Security has drafted new guidelines to aggressively detain and deport immigrant
In essence, these active measures pose a threat, not just something that happened in the past. Yes, sir, thats right. This has been going on for a long time.

The ability to use the interconnectedness and all of that provides but it didnt provide before, they literally upped their game to having a significant impact.
