Trump will pressure Ukraine and the EU because he has leverage. He has no leverage with Putin. Remember his goal is to end the war no matter how much of Ukraine has to be given up.

Yes, and it is just as clear that Trump's response to Putin's stalling is a big shrug. Unless voters and Congress make supporting Ukraine a big deal, Trump will do nothing substantial.

Now you just have to talk Rump into your plan.

Can’t count on the USA

Trump plays the part of a mob boss against American citizens but curls up in a fetal ( or fecal) position around Putin. It's disgusting.

Nothing will happen.

Of course. Anyone with common sense knows that! Putin doesn't make deals. He makes war!

Let’s talk about the Epstein files.

I wonder what got passed to Putin?

Another distraction distraction du jour.

Donate directly to Ukraine 🇺🇦 here. UNITED24 - The initiative of the President of Ukraine share.google/2gLrEX2afXRt...

I hope everyone realizes that the purpose of this was to illustrate that Russia is in control of our military and president.

The PAB in the WH won't do jack shit.

Trump’s reaction will tell us once and for all if it’s merely admiration or Putin really has kompromat.

Putin recognizes Trump's Achilles heel. I bet Putin threatened him with the material he has on Epstein and Trump slinked away with his tail between his legs.

This is the truth!

You can’t “arm up” the Ukrainians. The Ukrainian soldiers are all dead. Who’ll use the weapons, even if we had them to send? It’s incredible to me how unserious these comments are. This is Life and Death. Ukraine lost the war. This is one of the things that often happens with wars. One side loses.

I thought "prince of peace" Donald Trump was going to end the Ukraine war on day one. Wasn't that the promise?

Trump isn't going to do anything Putin doesn't want. Compromat. Rhetorical question. Do you think Donald Trump would protect our nation if Russia decided to annex say, Alaska?

The Kremlin regards their soldiers as totally disposable and Russian citizens have no idea of the death toll.

I was on a plane from London to Tampa yesterday....Saw another passenger reading the paper in front of me. Headline read something like UK and EU plan to pull back weaponry support for Ukraine...This was not even on the front page (it looked to be many pages into that edition). SMH #trumprussia

Economic defeat too, if not first.

"People are saying that Trump would be the greatest most bestest greatest of all greatest if he would make sure Ukraine not only won, but won decisively by giving them everything they need." Of course Ukraine's real hope is Europe, but I can hope. Russia's too. Russia needs democratic reform.

If I am elected, I will park Carrier Groups in the Black Sea, Baltic Sea and Bering Sea, then have my VP meet with Putin, maybe my transportation secretary. And no red carpet.

How long have we been saying this?

Its okay, Krasnov will delay the sanctions even longer and try to sell republicans that he got Putin right where he wants him.

This week was his boss Putin, in two weeks Netanyahu will be back. I'm not really a president I just play one on TV.

Kremlin needs to be destroyed, turned into a crater

Donnie just showed up to get his instructions

Ukraine needs to ramp up their attacks on Russian oil production facilities. That's russia's bread and butter.

Putin told Trump if you don't do as I say then I'LL release the Epstein files 😂😂

Pipe dream

Agreed

TACO

Is she a republican?

Exactly…….Trump is stalling for Putin……use the billions in various banks holding Russian money to arm Ukraine……Ukraine will take care of the rest

I’m betting we don’t go all in for Ukraine. Should

Trump USED Ukraine as an excuse to meet up with Putin who he looks up to and loves. Compliments of the Taxpayer!!!! Guaranteed they kicked everyone out of the room and had a tete a tete among themselves.

💙👍

Those ceremonial b-2s should have flown on to Russia to take out all of Putin’s mansions, jets and yachts. Russian people would quietly giggle.

Putin can stall all he wants. It just sends Russia's economy further down the drain. Keep sending off able bodied workers to die, Vlad. Keep throwing resources that your own people need at your desperate attempt to rebuild something long gone. Winter is coming.

Maybe. But we have done nothing to convince Putin that he can't take over Ukraine, even at whatever cost to Russia.

North Korea has been doing it for decades so don't hold your breath.

Nothing says sanctions like rolling out the red carpet and agreeing with everything Putin wants. Now its up to Ukraine & European NATO?

Wait! Why isn't this press core (that term is used lightly) talking about the "ending the war in 24 hours after taking office" Eight months in and the only war ending is the Master Ped*phile's war on his dementia

I guess that Nobel prize is always going to be a greased pig to Donald.

The only positive thing I get from this is, Putin basically told Trump to go fuck himself, then I think, right now it's the right time for the @GOP.com to do the same, stop capitulating to him, gather your balls and start standing for your constituents.

Putin played him like a domra

Trump is a lifelong loser and cheat. and now he’s losing and cheating America.

Ukraine joining NATO should be the FIRST point in any "deal". If Putin "promises" to NEVER attack Ukraine again (his go-to "promise" intended to fulfill Ukraine's security issues), and NATO is a DEFENSE ALLIANCE ONLY, then Ukraine in NATO would NEVER be an issue.

🎯

Trump was out maneuvered by Putin. Trump isn't intelligent or knowledgeable enough about history to understand that Putin has been conning stronger and wiser men than he will ever be. Trump is simply out of his depth here. He got NOTHING. He's Putin’s bitch. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Someone should tell Trump that arresting Putin in Alaska and delivering him in shackles to The Hague would be the quickest way to end the war in Ukraine and win a Nobel Peace Prize.

won't happen . We no longer have a real country.

I’m good with this approach.

How much did this circus cost us? 🤬

The point of the meeting was to tell Trump, "If I go down, you go down."

That Treasury and Commerce were at the table says it all. Moron Trump still thinks Putin is a business man instead of an evil dictator. Absolutely incompetent.

Nothing berder for the king of nothing berders.

Why is this so obvious to everyone except this administration. Where is the GOP? Arm Ukraine. Send them 1,000 HIMARS and said Vlad have a nice couple of weeks. Secondary the shit out or China and India for Russian oil purchases. Squeeze Putin like a lemon. See if that brings him to the table.

Why would Trump sanction his ideological ally?

Arm Ukraine and take the gloves off.

A new Iron Curtain is what is needed

Tru.p has no "ideas" about Ukraine except what Putin tells him to have. This has to be clear to Americans, regardless of how fast Fox pedals the propaganda gaslighting.

Or what he’ll do is just say the “war” never should have started and Putin said he would not have started it had he not been cheated in 2020. Just throw his hands up and say not my problem. Then continue to cause such domestic chaos that no one can pay enough attention. That’s what he’ll do.

Not gonna happen Russia is about the only country that has benefited since Trump came to office All US “allies” are being stabbed in the back, routinely

How are you, idiots? Already great again? 😁

what putin wanted was what trump always wants: a photo op. 🫢

Can someone please make good and sure that Trump realises he’s been properly humiliated? Because it’s only the raging pain of his weak, wounded ego that has even the smallest chance of inducing him to turn against Putin.

I'm still waiting for DAY ONE to arrive so the war in Ukraine can be over.

It's not really an earnest negotiation anyway, with Ukraine not having a seat at the table.

Yeah, much ado about nothing. Too bad the press gave it such a run-up.

You are talking to the wrong country, sadly….

#Share #TalkAboutThis

There should be no negotiations. Putin invaded. Putin needs to leave. We along with the other NATO countries need to give Ukraine everything they need.

Tacos for all !!!!!

Really relieved that President Vladimir Zelensky didn't go.

Let's respect him by using his preferred name in Ukrainian: Volodymyr

Too bad Trump was given a very different set of instructions yesterday.

No shit. With or without US.

It's taking trump a long time to learn what everyone else already knows.

None of this will happen. Dipshit’s Russian boss told him what the score is, and gave him orders to stay in his lane, and of course Dipshit capitulated. #TACO

No ceasefire because Trump is weak! Sad!

Fart of the deal!

Agree

tRump won’t put any additional sanctions on Russia, because he is WEAK.

Won’t ever happen. Putin has dirt on Trump.

Nah, I think the first felon got what he came for -- Putin called him to heel, so he complied. Next he'll spin that he did great and any part that he didn't do great is Ukraine's fault and then he'll not give Ukraine the help/armament he wasn't going to give them in the first place. #ArmchairQB

bsky.app/profile/bone...

I'm thinking that this charade was yet another way to change the narrative. The info in the Epstein files must be very damaging to tRump. I wonder how much this little stunt cost the American taxpayers?

With a B-2 and escort flyby? A LOT 💸

THIS. If both we and our European Allies wish to stop Putin cold, show him we mean business: (1) Provide the Ukrainians with everything they need to push the Russians back. (2) Tell Putin that Ukraine will be granted NATO membership absent a meaningful withdrawal of Russian forces from the Donbas.

NATO is the answer.

I wish that’s what would happen but we all know Trump is weak and will continue to appease Putin.

Will TACO impose the harsh consequences he promised if Russia didn't agree to stop the killing? Of course not because TACO! trump too has blood on his tiny hands

But he won’t. He will rollover and take it up the a$$ from the Russian dictator.

Yes, put Putin’s pussy is too affair. 🖕🏻🍊💩

The Alaska summit was just another stall by Putin with Trump's help. It resembled a Soviet style presser- no questions. Did Trump fellate him in the meeting?

That has never been what Putin has been after by using Trump. He has something else in mind and he is unbelievably close to winning his end game.

Putin's end game is happening. It's the destruction of US government, military, alliances, economy and civic life. Trump is a Russian asset, recruited years ago

100% yup

and RELEASE THE PEDO FILES!

nothing like long range missles up the old patootie to get pootie's attention.

Why did anyone even say there might be a deal? Ukraine wasn't there! Even a meeting with the most benevolent Putin imaginable, and the most competent POTUS, there could be no deal without Ukraine in the room. Stop feeding into the fantasy. It was always a photo opp and a suck-up.

Trump won't sanction he owes Putin too much.

Three days of speculation about what could happen when everyone knew there would be no deal. Trump and Putin are known quantities. Old men do not change. Arm Ukraine, bankrupt Russia.

What? Not doing that film together now?
