Let's see how tough trump can be on Putin to impose his will. I'm sure he'll be at least as tough on our enemy as he was when bullying our ally in front of the world in the Oval Office.
A new round of defense aid to Ukraine, more sactions on Russia & Russian oligarchs, threats of releasing restrictions on Ukraine using long range weapons.
I'm sure the GOP will come down just as hard on Putin to force a ceasefire.
Rhetoric that Russia must be realistic & retreat from all of Ukraine & pay to rebuild Ukraine.
That is good new. No, I don't want war. But Ukraine having a ceasefire agreement with the US and the Russians opposing it makes the US/Russian position weaker.
The Russian war of aggression is much more than that: like in the US now, it is a global war of regression against evolution, of the past against the future – against “what is attempting to emerge in society” (O.Scharmer): Liberty, Equality, Fraternity.
Russia is slowly, but successfully advancing. A ceasefire would give Ukraine a chance to dig in and make it harder for Russia to continue to advance. So it was unlikely they would want a ceasefire.
Trump thought:
I’ll say this because I’m putins buddy and he’ll go along with it
oh Putin it’s a no?
Ok I’ll blame someone and my dumb magas will cheer
This is stupid, Europe is already at war with Russia. They have been waging hybrid warfare in Europe for years, it's time to commit to ending Putins dictatorship once and for all
It's good that Ukraine played it smart, knowing full well that the Russians and their American delivery boys are full of sh*t. Now let them "negotiate" amongst themselves.
Putin will play the mouse and catch game as well as Hitler. Saying one thing and then breaking the deal. Remember, he signed a non aggression pact with Ukraine when they gave up their nuclear weapons, so Putin has already shown his true colors.
The Russians are mocking the naked king. Trump's "peace negotiations" are only intended to whitewash the terribly poor start to his administration and to simulate statesmanship for Trump by throwing Ukraine under the bus. Then, they demand a Nobel Peace Prize for himself.
Have they said it in terms the Trump negotiating team can understand/accept, or will they just ignore this and continue to blame, extort & bully Ukraine to let Putin have what he wants? So far, so predictable.
It may be beneficial to Ukraine to have Russia so clearly show their disinterest in a ceasefire (or any outcome other than a Ukrainian complete capitulation). Now the US is left to defend its ally. Maybe even Trump will understand this reality.
No Surprise. But at least exposes Putin for what he is. What would be a real game-changer would be if China offered Ukraine security guarantees in place of the US. Unfortunately they seem to be prepared to sit and watch Trump destroy US credibility.
I remember D. Trump saying that he could end the war in Ukraine in 24 hours. I guess that now, if asked about it, he will say: " Did I say that? Really? I don't remeber".
Indeed but this is why, tactically, Ukraine should have said they wanted a ceasefire 2 months ago… nothing to lose… anyway they got there eventually so let’s see the geniuses in Trump’s team come up with now
Now what messaging will MAGA Republicans use? Russia wants to annex Ukrainian land and won’t stop until the world caves in and allows this to happen. I’m sure this will be a topic of the G7 in Canada today #SlavaUkrainii 🇺🇦
The US team have just landed in Moscow. Good luck with speaking to Lavrov. Last time he spoke he was complaining about unisex toilets in Finland as a reason for the invasion.
Putin takes the genius out of evil genius. 3 weeks turned into 3 years plus. Even with his asset in place, this will go sideways on Putin. When he realizes the boom is falling, it will be far too late.
Not now they’re pushing the frontline. That’s why we need to support Ukraine with everything we have , military, economicly and idiological, and push them back into oblivion
Everything is transactional. We are not negotiating a peace plan. It’s only a business transaction. Capitalism has now openly shown the world that it is void of all ethics and morals in the pursuit of a $.Hopefully we will all start looking at alternatives to capitalism, I.e a social economy.
Wow it’s almost like Moscow Marco and his posse have no idea what they’re doing! Good thing VP Eyeliner screamed at Zelensky in the Oval Office as though Ukraine is the problem
Trump said that as far as peace goes, the Russians were easy and it was the Ukrainians that were difficult. His assessment is backward. He’s been portraying Ukraine as the aggressor and Russia as the victim, that’s harder to maintain now.

Anne, I took my kids to Barnes & Noble to browse last night and my 16-year-old son bought your latest book. “Doesn’t Dad think she’s awesome? Is that why o recognize her name?” Me:
Donald Trump is a great leader and commander. He never attacks the stronger one. He is always smart enough to choose the weak opponent and celebrate the victory over the lowest! Great American Hero!
Oh no, we probably have caused a provocation in the eyes of Putin. We should repent and ask more nicely. Because the Russians have a Nuclear Arsenal, oh yes.
In a normal world this would lead to America's continued support of Ukraine, but under Trump he'll let the war continue without any help from us and continue to blame Ukraine.
So Chump is placed in check. What will be his next move? He's either disgraced and embarrassed that his buddy Pootin denies his "art of the deal," or he reneges on the support for Ukraine. Either way, he looks like the loser he is.
The same phenomena was seen last time between Trump and North-Korea. However, Trump still likes the little rocket man is his "very good friend" - like Putin.
He has never had a friend. Not a real friend. He uses people like tools and expects they are using him in the very same way he uses them. He’s a lonely, insecure, paranoid man. He doesn’t trust anyone. And he expects no one trusts him.
Yup, and why would they trust Trump? Look at what he does to countries who are American allies! They might as well be an enemy while he's bullying them with his economic tariffs.
Trump thinks that all he needs to do is repeat something over and over again and people will cave to him, just like the US government has. Unfortunately, his mentor Putin is immune to his charms.
So the Invader, attacker, aggressor, plunderer, initiator, pillager, rapist, criminal ... 🤔... does not want to stop. We diddle around as people die. That whole land of the free home of the brave thing ... No longer can be used ... And any agreement with us in any form is worthless.
Instead they want to dupe Europe into a further dependency of fossile energies in order to finance their imperial hegemony war based on that insufferable Heartland theory. Thanks we weren't born yesterday! And Trump thinks that is a good deal?
He can go and f***k himself for that "deal".

Or is he just going to roll over again and ask for more salad tossing from his master?

He'll specifically cite the photo op with King Charles, because you know that poked his thin skin.
Oh no, we probably have caused a provocation in the eyes of Putin. We should repent and ask more nicely. Because the Russians have a Nuclear Arsenal, oh yes.
Ans Trump will believe Putin again any bullshit. He is such an idiot.
This is a sign.
Still don't believe Trump will though.
