    Let’s see if Trump reverts to his old position again in a couple of days.
    I don’t trust anything Trump says, he also said to multiple major European leaders, that he would sanction Russia if they didn’t agree to a ceasefire.
    A week has gone by, and as usual Trump has done nothing to help Ukraine.

    The best case scenario is that Trump really was such a moron as to believe Putin wanted peace and now feels betrayed and does a 180 on Ukraine policy. Much more likely he will stay the course on screwing Ukraine.

      I think it’s less of “Putin wanted peace”, but that “Putin is amenable to peace if he gets everything he wants”, which might have even been true before the Russian economy got so wrecked that stopping the war would crash it.

    It is just time to play both sides and make it out like DT is reasonable. He has done nothing to reign in Russia and I highly doubt he would do anything but a symbolic gesture.

    This is just a White House propaganda piece. Make people doubt his allegiance to Russia. A big waste of our time, but that appears to be the point.

    Yeah, but Zelenskyy didn’t wear a suit or thank trump himself publicly for the hundredth time, so I’m sure trump is still team Putin.

    Trump, Putin, and Netanyahu are all psychopaths: Psychology Today: Psychopathy is a condition characterized by the absence of empathy and the blunting of other affective states. Callousness, detachment, and a lack of empathy enable psychopaths to be highly manipulative. Nevertheless, psychopathy is among the most difficult disorders to spot.

    Please.

    The sole redeeming factor about Trump is being extremely unpredictable. He is a quintessentially ignorant American in that way. No one can reliably control him, he will flip-flop between diametrically opposed positions at will.

    Hopefully chaos impersonated will turn on Putin for a while. Hell, if Trump continues to ignore legal precedent he may be able to harm Russia more than Biden ever did.

    French President Emmanuel Macron believes US President Donald Trump has finally realised that Russian leader Vladimir Putin has been deceiving him.

    Oh my no… The cognitive dissonance will take over. Trump will be back to blaming Ukraine and talking about how wonderful Putin is again in short order

      “I believe that President Trump has realised that when President Putin told him he was ready for peace, he was lying,” Macron emphasised

    When they have the kompromat, they even let you be pretend mad from time to time. Talk is cheap though.
