Trump says that Putin is not coming to the negotiating table and Trump has been begging Putin to do so. The only way for Trump to rescue a tiny part of his dignity is to continue the weapons shipments at full throttle.

Good start…
Bob Fosse
“The American leader has repeatedly said he wouldn’t have allowed Russia’s invasion of Ukraine to start if he had been in office”
Which maga have repeatedly parroted here for years.
But they also say his many claims on ending the war shouldn’t be taken literally.
Strange bunch.
Moriah
The Neocons are fighting Russia by proxy.
Without a steady flow of US billions, Zelensky would have agreed to a just peace already, he’d have no choice.

True
The “timing”, not ending the war, context does help.
Both countries are. Trump’s got this
Bob Fosse
It’s true that he said it.
But you have to remember ‘context’. Most things he says he will do never happen. Then his fans say ‘don’t take his words literally. You know, that ‘context’.
Blacklabel
Thus, a proxy war.

he’s done dozens of things already and it hasn’t even been a week.
dozens of promises kept and dozens of things happened. 57% approval as well, so people like what he is doing too.

A good start to being an enemy of Western Civilization?
Only because Putin would have gotten his asset to knuckle under sooner.
Tick tock. Trump already blew past his self imposed deadlines.
TaiwanIsNotChina
A proxy war that still has Ukraine's existence on the line and thus still worth fighting.

Supplying weapons to a friendly country invaded by an aggressive Russia wanting to destroy it is not a proxy war.

We eagerly await his stable genius. Millions are still dying.

True, as facts prove Russia did not invade during the Trump administration.
Under the weak Biden administration many countries, such as Russia, became emboldened.
Trump will clean it all up in die time with the force that he swept into office. What a beating the Dems took in November. A hugely dominant win by Trump.
The people of the USA and of the world want Trump in power.

Trump may be coming to the realization that if he abandons Ukraine to Putin then his entire legacy is ruined. Nothing else he does will matter nor be remembered. They'll be erecting statues of him in Moscow and have a national holiday in his honour.
He'll be seen as a weak failure who did the bidding of Putin, like everyone said he would. Biden's legacy will be secured by Trump.
Of course, if he had an ounce of sense he'd grasp this opportunity to do something truly Churchillian and defeat Putin. He could be a hero if he had the backbone.

The US?? How?
Is this what liberals think? Really?
Another weak argument, come on now. lol
bass4funk
I don’t think he thinks that at all, not one iota
Not to half the country that voted for him
Here we go…

Yeah, that was a funny read, but back to reality, the only thing important to Trump is the safety and salvation of the U.S., that’s really the only thing now that matters. If I wanted a globalist President, I would have voted for the woman.

Already showing it. Border gettin fixed, dollar waste stopping. Damn good.

Cause of Biden incompetence. Shoulda made a deal and stop Putin before invading.Anytime after it too.

Your anonymous internet you may not care about your reputation, but I guarantee that Trump cares about his.
Let me repeat; if Trump causes Ukraine to be crushed by Putin, he wil forever be remembered and blamed for it. You won't be able to blame it on Biden, or Libs or China or anyone. Trump and you will own it. He's set himself up as Kingmaker on this issue and his entire 2nd term will be judged by it.
Or, you could defeat Putin and be legends forever.

oh after global nuclear warfare ends World War 3 and the 10% of remaining population living underground have a moment to think about such silliness?

Actually, they did. Russia invaded Ukraine in the Kerch Strait and Trump did nothing about it. It looked like weakness.

Trump was elected to end this war that we should not be involved in so that we can get back to focusing our time, effort and money on Americans.
that will be his legacy, a peacemaker. not “defeating Pootie” by escalating this into a global nuclear conflict.
ClippetyClop
You watch too much TV. Grow up.
All he has to do is keep doing what Biden does, but just a bit better. He's been given a terrific opportunity to actually do something consequential instead of nicking Greenland or changing the names of seas.
[checks user] Ah, you. I'd forgotten that you actually want Putin to conquer Ukraine.

Right, D doing better than expected. 57% rising.

I think that he will have a hard time convincing Putin to agree to a peace deal. If he gives up and looks to surrender Ukraine, Zelenskyy won’t agree.
Therefore the only good option is to fully back Ukraine.

How much you wanna bet on this statues in Moscow fantasy?
He'll be seen as a weak failure who did the bidding of Putin, like everyone said he would.

MAGA got giddy and let their imaginations run riot. They thought that Trump comes in, abandons Ukraine, the war ends and everyone goes home.
It never struck them that a) if that happens Russians don't go home, they go forward b) Trump isn't that keen to ruin his entire legacy in his first "24 hours".
TaiwanIsNotChina
He says with no evidence whatsover. What will countries do when they see Trump grabbing ankles and handing russia most of the Black Sea coastline?
We are waiting for the miracle worker. Talk is cheap.
Trump's hugely dominant 1.5% win does not allow him to forget to deliver on Ukraine.
I believe some sources are in order that the world wants Trump in power. Maybe the CCP mouthpieces do because they expect to get some goodies from him as well.
TaiwanIsNotChina
It will either be ended in success or failure for Trump. No amount of celebrating 1.5% electoral wins is going to cover up for Moscow celebrating new territories.
TaiwanIsNotChina
With what money?
I don't think the 1% foreign aid budget is going to cover your wall, agents, housing, guards, judges, and flights.
Why can't Stable Genius do the deal now? We are waiting!!!

zelensky doesn’t have to “agree”.

Russia invaded Ukraine - - - -in the ocean? They took over a wave???
Speaking of which, didn't Russia invade Crimea under Obama?
Thanks for the reminder of the multiple failures by Democratic administrations buckling under threats from Russia, when in turn, Russia held back from any invasions under Trump.
Facts are facts.
Blacklabel
it’s been 4.5 working days, he’s trying to get “we” the best deal possible.
ClippetyClop
Of course he does. There can't be a 'peace' or 'surrender' otherwise.
I think Trump is going to disappoint you. He isn't going to give Putin Ukraine like you want him to.
I advise getting your coping method prepared for this in the next '24 hours'.
You may not care about your reputation, but Trump does.

More importantly, the money that Mitch and Schumer stole from the taxpayers will be used to fund it.
It's coming

don’t care if it does or doesn’t happen like that.
What I want has never change: war over, people on both sides stop dying, USA moves on, our money and our weapons for us.

Did you read the article? They fired on Ukrainian navy vessels and seized them. That requires a strong condemnation from the US. But Donald didn't do it. Nikki Haley ended up doing Trump's job and condemned the incident.
It showed Trump's weakness in standing up to Putin. Hopefully he can do better this time.
Yes. And he condemned it and introduced sanction on Russia for doing it.
Russia annexing Crimea isn't a failure of Obama. And Obama condemned it, unlike Trump after the Kerch Strait Incident.
Yes, facts are facts and Russia attacked Ukraine under Trump and he weakly did nothing.

D does everything his own way. Better than Biden, chill.
Readin too much sci-fi sis.

57% approval rising, think you are going to be disappointed.
