Trump says he believes both Russia and Ukraine want peace, adding that he has his own deadline for ending the war, but warning that Washington’s attitude could drastically change if an agreement fails to materialise by then. #EuropeNews
US President Donald Trump says Russia has made a "pretty big concession" to end the war in Ukraine by stopping short of taking the "whole country."
It was very kindhearted of Putin to not meet his military objectives in the planned two weeks, instead extending the war for three years, in order to make it a more fair contest for Ukraine.
Its been so painfully obvious this man's been Putin's bitch since 2016, there's a reason people were suspecting Russia interfered with that election, his supporters denied it, and now that he's openly supporting all of his asslickers showing support as well and following their herd like the good obedient sheep they are.
Its not a concession. They tried. they came very close to accomplishing their goal. But because of the outcomes of the battles of Irpin, Bucha, Hostomel Airport, and one of the most critical battles of the entire war, Moschun, Russia was defeated and lost their opportunity to quickly topple the government.
In short. They didnt concede. They got their asses handed to them. And played it off as an act of mercy when they ran away with their tails between their legs.
And now Putin is trying to win through "peace" negotiations what he failed to achieve through war. But if Europe and Ukraine refuse Trump's extortion, Putin is going to suffer defenstraphobia for the (hopefully short and miserable) remainder of his life.
It's even dumber than that. Because, using the same parallel, he didn't do it only because she kicked him in the balls and pulled out a knife (meaning: Ukraine defended itself, it was not Moscow's decision to stop).
The world is held hostage by three sociopaths, Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin and Benjamin Netanyahu. Two of them are war criminals, and the third is waiting to happen at any moment.
I agree, the third big single powerful person is certainly Xi. I suppose one can say the "sociopath" is more evident with Netanyahu than Xi, because for now China is able to sit back and let Russia and USA self sabotage to a weaker position while mucking with the rest of the world, while China gets to play comparative good guy in foreign policy. This is of course grading on a curve, they aren't saints either.
I don't want to excuse Netanyahu here. He certainly belongs behind bars in my opinion. However, he only holds a part of the world hostage rather than all of it. I see him on par with folks like Kim Jon Un or Mohamed bin Salman rather than Trump or Putin.
And yet, Israel has practically dictated US Foreign Policy in the Middle East, which is a theater of conflict in which everyone is playing, including China.
I hate this timeline. I hate that my manager, a WOMAN, voted for this POS. Every post I make on Facebook about what he did today is an indirect laser beamed thought to her “this is YOUR fault!”
I was about to say, they tried. They have been trying for three years. They've committed a TON more forces than Ukraine, and still haven't made significant progress. The invasion is a military failure on pretty much every level, and it's only the most delusional that think Russia still has any chance of actually pulling off a successful annexation or occupation for any significant length of time.
Trump the coward. The definition of 'getting peace' is to just make the smaller side capitulate to the bigger one. And then act surprised when said peace doesn't hold long.
No surprises that Russia is volunteering to mediate the Iran-US conflict either. Friends always watch each other's backs.
A mediator doesn't take sides. It's the most basic principle. If you're gonna do that - taking the easiest and cowardly way - just step aside and let more competent people handle it before you make an even bigger mess. Some 'help' simply isn't worth the hassle.
And Russia did not take more land for a simple reason - not because of concessions or kindness, but because the small David held their ground against the Goliath invading them. It's that simple, nepo crybaby.
In the US there is this new slur "Trump hater", which is apparently a negative trait to have..I think it is supposed to mean you're clinically insane..Because who in their right mind doesn't love Trump??
