Media, don’t even report on this because it’s just crap. Neither one of these clowns hold any cards. Don’t fall for it again, like you always do. Doesn’t matter what is said because they both lie, and this is just again just another day in the media spotlight.

We CANNOT allow this in our name. Trump has ZERO authority over a sovereign nation. The peace deal should/will be Russia gets the fuck out of Ukraine. ALL of Ukraine including Crimea.

Ukraine and the EU will say no.

If Britain had trump instead of Churchill,
he would have agreed with the peace plan
that Hitler offered and wanted in 1940.

It boggles my mind how anyone would believe it’s okay for the US to demand Ukraine give up anything to Russia, when all Russia has given them is destruction and heartache. No one would personally want that for themselves. Not a proud moment for us.

Unfortunately, I think the battle lines now are mostly on the home front as the Trump admin tramples on our rights and DOGE cuts our govt services

He's the opposite of a master negotiator. Putin plays him, and plays him, and plays him some more.

There may he some faint echoes... but I don't recall FDR being a 34 time convicted criminal who had also been found liable for rape.

I do however recall Churchill wearing a boiler suit to the White House to reflect the attire of his people, without the American media getting snobby about it.

100% It's literally the historically weakest thing the US has ever done in the face of a hostile foreign power.

Ever.

Why does Donald even have ANY say? Why can't Putin do it himself? Ukraine can negotiate for themselves with Russia.

It's not his decision to make goddammit.

Should tell the truth.
Trump is a wimp.
Trump is afraid of Putin.

This will give him legitimacy to invade Panama.

Isn't he the great negotiator?

Trump has no authority to offer a sovereign country's assets, territory, or otherwise, to another country without written agreement to the deal.

Trump is the Neville Chamberlain of Benito Mussolinis

Wasn't Leavitt making fun of the French today for the US bailing them out in WWII. Now it Trump running from fight while France is stepping in.

This comes as no surprise to Zelenskyy.

jqjacobs.bsky.social•1 day ago

Russia is about to collapse and desperate to end the fighting. But will they withdraw from Ukraine? Ukraine must insist on original borders to begin a ceasefire.
It matters not what Trump does, he is not just irrelevant now, he's a Russian partisan..

Trump is a modern-day Neville Chamberlain.

drddd.bsky.social•1 day ago

He is the guy who will do anything to help Russia - right 😏

... if you assume that Trump is even actively deciding on his administration's positions, rather than accommodating them to whatever Russia demands...

"Steve Witkoff, a longtime friend of Trump’s who is now his top negotiator in the Middle East and for the war in Ukraine, has been involved in the talks for a deal"

"Binance said that United Arab Emirates state-backed investor MGX had acquired a minority stake"
