Trump says there won’t be a second meeting that includes Zelensky if he doesn’t hear the right stuff from Putin, who is prolly the foreign leader who got in his head to sweep the homeless from D.C. I hope their one-on-one doesn’t have anything to do with this:
Maybe that’s why Putin wants to meet with Trump now because he realizes he’s in a weak compromised position and will be willing to make concessions to come away with what he thinks is a win. Trump is also suffering from dementia with symptoms of loose associations and confabulation. He has surrounded himself with sycophants and he’s in no mental shape to be negotiating unsupervised with a master of manipulation like Putin. He’s libel to trade away the farm for a bag of beans.
Find someone who can get in that position who is uncompromised in this day and age. Biden was not that long ago and we have not forgotten that quickly. Oh my gosh, I can’t even imagine if the other side had won.
The besties together. Nice of Putin to help his buddy Trump change the subject. Trump owes him a solid wouldn’t you say? Of course, Trump for hIs part did what he could to lighten Putin’ status as an international pariah. So I guess you could say it was a mutual tax payer-funded back scratching. Trump said if there was no ceasefire there would be severe consequences for Putin. How much you want to bet he TACOs again?
The man has no sense of decency. He literally had a red carpet rolled out for a murderer.
Trump Backs Off Cease-Fire Demand in Ukraine War, Aligning With Putin. New York Times
“Breaking with Ukraine and European allies, President Trump adopted Russia’s preference for pursuing a sweeping peace deal after meeting with President Vladimir Putin.”
Trump is a Russian asset. Even the commentators on Fox News observed how he capitulated to Putin yesterday. He’s brought shame to America on the world stage.
4 hours ago — Donald Trump has said he, along with the presidents of Russia and Ukraine, have determined that a peace agreement was preferable to a ceasefire …
..as long as they only target inanimate objects, not people heh..
“Mr. Trump wrote on Truth Social early on Saturday that he spoke by phone to Mr. Zelensky and European leaders after his meeting with Mr. Putin. He said that “it was determined by all that the best way to end the horrific war between Russia and Ukraine is to go directly to a Peace Agreement, which would end the war, and not a mere Ceasefire Agreement, which often times do not hold up.”
But European leaders issued a statement that did not echo Mr. Trump’s claim that peace talks were preferable to a cease-fire. Britain, France, Germany and others welcomed Mr. Trump’s efforts to stop the war but threatened to increase economic penalties on Russia “as long as the killing in Ukraine continues.”
Mr. Trump confirmed Mr. Zelensky’s announcement earlier Saturday that the Ukrainian president would come to the White House on Monday. If that visit goes well, Mr. Trump said, he would schedule another meeting with Mr. Putin.
Skipping cease-fire talks and going straight for a peace deal has been a demand of Mr. Putin’s in the long diplomatic effort to reach an end to the war in Ukraine. With Russia advancing on the battlefield, a cease-fire would give Ukraine relief from Moscow’s attacks and deprive Mr. Putin of some leverage at the bargaining table. Before his meeting with Mr. Putin, Mr. Trump had agreed with European allies and Mr. Zelensky that no peace negotiations could begin without a cease-fire in place.“
Whatever Putin wants Putin gets. That’s the deal. And by the way, it’s the same with Netanyahu. When he says “jump”, Trump says “how high?” Which leads to the suspicion that these leaders have intelligence on Trump that Trump cannot afford to have made public. Given Epstein‘s links to Israel and Putin the suspicion is not unfounded.
I wonder what would happen if all the people behind the Epstein scandal converted to Christianity and confessed everything if that would solve so many other of the world’s drama problems at the same time?
Haven’t you heard? The so-called Epstein scandal is just a hoax perpetrated by Democrats and those who believe it are just stupid? So declared the POTUS.
As much as I don’t like Trump I believe we should support a Russian peace initiative, the Ukraine war is all about the European Union expanding into Russia and Georgia.
I am no fan of the European Union and globalism should be opposed at all costs, nationalism is freedom as opposed to globalism where that includes the nationalism of Russia.
A simple question. And no one will answer for sure. Why is the question of peace between warring states decided by a third party? Well, stupid cretins, answer. Can’t do it?
Because it was this “third party” that staged the war.
The U.S. ordered its puppet to start a war. But now he does not know how to end this war. The Russian Federation is already on the verge of disaster. It costs Ukraine nothing, to destroy this Russian Federation. But the United States does not allow this.
It is enough to seize a nuclear launcher on the territory of the Russian Federation and strike at Moscow. All. The end of the war. The End of the Russian Federation. The threat of a world nuclear war will also disappear. This has already happened in history, with Japan.
I’m glad the European heads of state are coming to support Zelensky. If Trump were to follow through on his threat to sanction Russian oil exports, it would force Putin into a cease-fire situation.
Gentlemen are degenerates, and when will it dawn on you that neither Putin, nor Trump, nor Zelensky have any influence on politics? I’m just wondering. When you understand that clowns and puppets are in power. But the fate of the world is created by completely different people… But are they human? For example… I decided the war. After all, the Demon is tired of creating people from animals. So I decide. Shouldn’t we destroy America? Do you think I’m just reading and checking the forum? That’s funny.
“I think at a point of time, probably we will have to increase the pressure on Russia to be sure they want peace, because as long as President Putin and his people will consider they can win this war and get a better result by force, they will not negotiate.” — Macron
The ceasefire deadline went from 50 days (September 2) to early-ish August (and no longer wanting to talk to Putin), to summits & move straight to peace talks & skip cease fire. On the one hand Trump sounds like he is bragging about ending six wars, on the other hand, he is saying this one is more difficult and saying it is better for parties other than him to be involved, although the US would lend air support. On a hot mic he’s pretty sure Putin wants to do a deal with him, “as crazy as it sounds”.
China supports all peace talks, and Trump has threatened them (& others who buy Russian yada yada) with tariffs.
All the European folks, including NATO, are talking about it. Some stuff about Hungary.
The Ukrainians want peace, but they also don’t want to negotiate away their land.
Who would take over if they took Putin out? Would they also threaten nukes and want the same thing Putin wants? Just curious.
Is the current power structure fine with keeping Putin around and just gonna try to lowkey finesse Zelenskyy in a tricky way?
I mean, I’m assuming the power structure has to weigh who they will “take out” and who they won’t.
Was Putin’s comment on the tarmac in Alaska about seeing Trump alive in any way connected with the fact that Epstein didn’t kill himself? “Vee hov vays off mekking jou silent.”
Yes, maybe it’s better if somebody else handles this one.
I would be remiss if I didn’t suggest everyone use Bing with these search terms: “volcano eruption Russia”. A nice little summary of the aftermath of that 8.8 tremor. I just learned it was more than one volcano. Muy interesante.
