Big surprise. Russia could have ended the war anytime he wanted. After all, they were the ones who started it in the first place. I don't think trump is as powerful as he thinks he is. And he is about to find out the truth.
They just captured another Ukrainian military hub. News just broke. Russia doesn't want peace & America is no longer an effective broker. Ukraine needs to rely on Europe & go up againts Russia with just Europe. https://youtu.be/yVK75OHqDXo
Cornyn seems to be making a stand on this issue. The correct one. Here’s what he sent me in response to the issue. It’s a form letter sent to interested constituents.
The ship carrying jet fuel for U.S. military that was hit by ship captained by Russian. Was this Putin’s answer to ceasefire agreement Trump is waiting for?
I saw an article that said, "Putin told his troops to "finally defeat the enemy." That doesn't sound like he's heading to the table foe peace talks. I can't wait to see how trump is going to handle this. Maybe he'll have Musk drive him to Russia in his great Tesla and confront Putin. 🤣
Gets interesting now. Will Trump attempt to frame it as Putin wanting a real peace and Ukraine trying tricks with short term games?
You can’t put it past him on previous form.
Or will his narcissism kick in, if he feels Russia is making him look impotent?
I have yet to figure out just why exactly these nutters want to be remembered in post-life for being housefly-beguiling, rotting pile of adipose while they were still alive.
Whatever happened to the “art of the deal”. The great deal maker and negotiator. One who gave up all his best cards with nothing in return. Humiliating the leader of the country under attack, alienating allies. Trump said to Zelenskyy he doesn’t have the cards - true - Trump gave them all up.
🇨🇦🇺🇦🤔Senator John Cornyn is lowering expections for a peace deal between Ukraine & Russia-
May he be reminded that Donald Trump would be the FAILURE, (surprise, surprise) if Putin doesn’t agree to it-
Thanks for confirming Donald Trump as the FAILURE, John!

FT headline is misleading.
RU is rejecting the "temporary" part,
saying it only wants end to war (capitulation of UA).
• Similar to earlier terms
• No NATO membership for UA
• No foreign troops in UA
• Unclear if Putin will engage seriously
The cruelty!! So now, Little Marco will resign right. A perfect opportunity for u Marco Rubio!! Ukraine shouldn’t trust any intelligence from USA. In fact they should do the opposite of whatever that intelligence report says. Trump is a Russia asset. He WILL NOT do anything to help Ukraine
Every day that goes by, he looks more like a fool because he said he could end the wars on day one. He's not a master at deal-making. In NY, he was a bully he threw his weight around, conned, and stiffed people. No art of the deal, just a fraud.
Vladimir doesn’t want to stop now that he has tRump with a collar and leash around his neck. He can say “sic em boy!” And tRump jumps to it… tRump is owned by Putin!
Next comes the Domino Effect of going into Moldova, Poland and Baltic states that everyone on the non-interventionist right and left dismissed. There's only two ways this war ends: nuclear winter or Putin taking a cyanide pill
They and their administration are the only ones believing it. Rest of the world did and still does not and is starting taking measures. Meanwhile Krasnov can keep dreaming.
Putin has all the cards.
He says no to ceasefire.
Challenges Trump to up the ante.
Mentions casually to Trump that he still has those saucy kids.
Awkwardness breaks out all over.
Trump's offer, Putin's response - all scripted B.S.. A Trump voter in Appalachia, his trailer festooned with Trump flags and anti-Biden slogans was quite impressed, tho.
They are either really naive or there's a grand pact. There appears to be nothing in between. Inability to compromise, lack of negotiating skills, emotionally unintelligent and no one is willing to put boundaries on them.
The litmus test is here. The inflection point of allegiance cannot be avoided. Any speculation regarding Trump / Putin cooperation culminates in this cease fire rejection.
...unless there's a deeper illusion we're being handed.
Putin doesn't want conquest of Ukraine and he doesn't want territory, he wants to erase Ukraine completely. How do you negotiate with someone like that? Why would you ever trust them?
Cornyn is 73 and wouldn’t be described as feeble. He understands everything. He’s saying something true, which is counter to his party’s platform. He let his mask slip this one time and I assure you there’s a well-thought-out reason for it.
He’s a pompous ass and has been for a long time. Maybe feeble is the wrong word. I’m sure there’s a reason for it too, interesting to see what it might be.
Well, theoretically this now backs him into a bit of a corner to help UKR as RU is not playing ball. But the 🍊 💩 could do literally anything at this point.
But Trump told voters last fall the war would be over in 24 hours once he took office. What possibly could have happened? After all, Trump is the master of the Art of the Deal.
This is truly shocking news. After beating our ally to death and allowing Russia to make quick gains, it turns out Russia offered nothing - ever. Who could have guessed?
Don’t ya just love that Trump declares all this stuff without Ukraine and Russia ever meeting? You can declare whatever you want in your little mind Trump but Russia will never be onboard with settling anything. He wants Ukraine period!
If Trump or Vance were strong,.. they would tell Putin that he must leave Ukraine now, then we can discuss/negotiate when trials for Putin's war crimes begin and how much Russia will be required to pay to rebuild Ukraine. However, Trump and Vance are pathetically weak against Russia.
The quickest way to end the war (incursion into Ukraine) is for Russia to stop shooting and withdraw. End of the fight. Putin doesn’t want peace, he wants the Ukraine.
Waiting in the”things” Trump is going to do to him, now.
Like, hold his breath.
Lie some more.
Blame it on Zelenskyy.
Blame it on Biden.
Blame it on the EU.
Withdraw from NATO
Canada, it must be Canada.
Her e-mails!
It’s Little Marco’s fault, he’s fired!
Sell a few “Teslers”.

It's dual realities here. Everyone hears the same words, but the meanings are different depending on your context.
Like when Russians talk about "nazis", they're not talking about followers the fascist ideology, but about anyone who fights against Russia.
"Peace" also means different things.
please note he didn't condemn Putin in any way, just clearly stated a fact. I mean, coming from a republican even clearly stated facts are remarkable. But make no mistake about Cornyn's loyalties. Republican/Putin/MAGA.
"The administration lied" is the leitmotif of our time...soon, being unable to say, "the administration lied" will be the closing stanza of the song of freedom dying.
Didn’t trump say he’d make a phone call and there’d be peace on day one of his presidency? He said he knew how to negotiate better than anyone! Well, it’s day 50-something, and Russia doesn’t want a ceasefire. Hey mushroom dick?

And what about the guy who wants to annex Canada, Greenland and the Panama Canal (and possibly Mexico?)? Does he want rainbows and lollypops?
Anyone who claims Ukraine is the aggressor here is just plain ignorant.
He says no to ceasefire.

Mentions casually to Trump that he still has those saucy kids.

Trump is not interested in peace either...
It's all bullshit!
He won't be happy about that. Wonder how he'll spin this loss?
Forcing Z to acquiesce to please Trump without guarantees. All BS.
Probably only the dumbest people in US...
Trump, Vance, and Musk have been “Handled” by Putin…
You have lost your mind!!
