Red Team Rep. Mike McCaul told This Week with George Stephanopolous yesterday on the topic of a Russia-Ukraine peace deal:
The inception of this agreement seems to have come from a Witkoff discussion with the Russian Dmitriev, who heads up the Russian Sovereign Wealth Fund.
Steve Witcoff is the investor playing dipolmat from the U.S. side. He has The Witcoff Group and co-founded World Liberty Financial with Trump II.
The National Wealth Fund of Russia is essentially a state owned private equity underwriter (PEU).
Ukraine is a take over target, people, land, resources, etc...
The people behind the peace deal are investors carving up Ukrainian prizes (the spoils of war).
The American worker experienced this as private equity took over company after company, traumatized workers and customers, loaded firms down with debt, siphoned fees and special dividends and enjoyed tax advantages all along the way.
It helps to have influential friend in high places.
That's how PEUs became "policy making billionaires," paving the way for the first TechGod trillionaire.
Trump II pushed the PEU playbook on federal workers via DOGE, which he just officially ended. It's still there just buried within several different government departments.
Politicians Red & Blue love PEU and their new TechGod/Cryptobro brethren. Increasingly, more are one.
Note: This was published yesterday on Ari'sFreedomSwitch, my political blog. Increasingly, any number of stories, local, national, international, sports, civil rights, business, political, etc. have a PEU odor. It's off just below the surface if one scratches.
