Seems like Trump is getting played like a fiddle. No one is surprised considering he’s a Russian asset.

I don't believe Trump is being played like a fiddle because he's a Russian asset. I think he's being played like a fiddle because he's not very clever - at least nowhere near as clever as Putin who is more calculating, scheming, manipulative and Machiavellian than Trump could ever be.

That’s true. It’s also true that Russian mafia bailed Trump out of real estate crisis, twice and owned an entire floor of Trumps tower in Manhattan. He’s an asset who’s been vocal about wanting to open a Trump property in Moscow.

2/ Kremlin officials are leveraging narratives about Ukrainian strikes and combat operations in Russian territory to justify rejecting peace negotiations with Ukraine and continuing the war to a domestic Russian audience. https://isw.pub/UkrWar032125

3/ Ukrainian forces recently advanced in Belgorod Oblast. Russian forces recently advanced in Sumy Oblast and near Kupyansk, Toretsk, and Pokrovsk. https://isw.pub/UkrWar032125

Trump is too dumb and gullible - it's up to Europe, Canada and other civilised nations to help Ukraine succeed.

If Russia is in such bad shape why not end it?

susiesulzbach.bsky.social•2 days ago

It's bad but Putin doesn't mind that. He doesn't mind economic hardship or the loss of welfare and prosperity of the Russian people, the pissing away of Russia's future for vain glory. that's just not something he's concerned with. That's what makes him all the more dangerous

The end of this war will be the end of Putin. He knows that.

Ending things take time?

aprawks.bsky.social•2 days ago

He's gotta be feeling the pressure.

I assume you mean Putin.
Wishful thinking is a powerful thing, just look at Hitler

And this administration is enabling Putin as they discuss splitting the spoils. Wonder how many meme coins it took for 47 to sell Ukraine to Putin?

This is probably Kremlin’s tactic before the scheduled meeting with Trump. They want to say “you cannot mess with us. You have to bring a lot more to the table “.
