It's so ridiculous the length that the EU has to go to so they can prey upon a useless waste of space to make THE right decision as a world leader to make peace for Ukraine. Russia will never be at peace! (I cringe when I use the term world leader for that unhinged narcissist)

The EU needs to understand that all Donald Trump wants out of this is for the effusive praise to continue. He could care less about Ukraine needs or the rest of the world is hoping for.

Thug Putin OWNS clown 45/47. 🤡45/47 is a cornered rat. Script dictated to the 🤡 by the Kremlin. “EPSTEIN FILES” follow the MONEY!!!!!

This won’t work. Putin isn’t going to back down and Trump will never admit he was wrong

President said yesterday we will se in about two weeks and he better be happy. Rope a dope.

FFS, Donald Trump knows perfectly well that Putin doesn't want any peace other than destruction of Ukraine. Even as demented and addled as he is, he's not that out of it. He's just lying, just as Putin is just lying, to force weaker people to submit to his will. I can't believe Europe doesn't see

Europe sees it-if not we're in even deeper trouble.

Of course they do ! Why do you think they rush to be beside Zelenski at the meeting with trump? They know Trump trust me!

Really ?! I've got ocean front property and Yuma Arizona if anybody's interested, cheap too.

In the meantime Putin is trying to kill as many Ukranians and grab as much territory as possible. I understand the concept and the situation they are in but... We (they) need to arm Ukraine to the teeth and let them loose to counter Putin in every way possible.

They REALLY don't understand who they're dealing with.

Why are we not throwing every sanction there is that can be thrown! Every penny that is putin's money should be used to buy weapons to defeat them!

A narcissist will never revisit a flawed idea. They replace it with the next idea never acknowledging the previous one didn’t work. “Oh, I see what you’re saying” will never be said. Truly a IYKYK exhausting person to deal with.

Does the EU not remember history? Trump abuses wimps more than he fears adversaries. Trump will take the EU bending a knee like a trophy to show off to Putin. The EU s/b in the background concurrently working plan B.

Love the new handle, George! 👊🏼

Is it April Fools day in Europe today? ...WTF

Indeed...the ChamberlainStrategy was an understandable strategy.

Those who don't think the flattery approach is worth the effort need to remember that the clear alternative is for European nations to directly engage Russia militarily. All other approaches need to be exhausted before that happens so that it can be justified to the population.

So, they still don't understand who's side he's on? I don't buy it. They know who and what he is.

*whose Dammit

Trump is unlikely to ever reach that conclusion, because whatever it is that the Russians have on him is SO damaging that it would overshadow everything else he's done. That alone is terrifying...that there is something even worse than his sexual assaults, fraud, criminality, and treason.

There's the dilemma. Trump may realize that Putin is playing him for a fool but at the same time Putin has dirt on him because he is a fool. Which wins? Ukraine gets destroyed, no skin off Trump's nose. The world finds out what kind of degenerate Trump is, crushing humiliation to Trump. Bye Ukraine.

Agree. Putting all eggs in one basket — I hope there is a Plan B ….

Did they take notes when Trump praised Putin yesterday and held a photo of them. The war criminal may even get an invite to the US for the World Cup. He cares not, he got his meeting. EU is stalling, and because of mixed messages appears weak.

Why don’t the European leaders threaten to give Ukraine everything it needs to bomb the hell out of Moscow.

Putin broke the security agreement when Ukraine became independent by invading Ukraine. The U.S. and U.K. honored the agreement, e.g., Biden on America's behalf, however; Trump's a fascist piece of sh't and doesn't respect any agreements ever e.g., U.S. Constitution even, so Ukraine no different!

I don’t think they hold the same sway over trump as Putin does.

They assume Putin has no leverage on Trump…. It may that no matter what Trump will be unable to “come around”

Or conversely: DT believes Europeans are sincere about a peace deal so he'll humor them until they realize he isn't...

The Europeans need to put a negotiating team together rather than wasting precious time on the possibility of the buffoon doing it. Putin is playing Trump and if the Europeans don’t move, Putin’s playing them too. The wolf is at their door. Don’t count on Trump.

They couldn't see that he's all-the-cards short of a full deck while they were here?

EU Leaders can’t be this dumb * Vlad insincere - True *Trump can be cajoled to do the right thing - Wrong, he won’t defy Putin * Trump can negotiate - Wrong, he doesn’t know how to negotiate and he’s a taco Hope they aren’t relying on trump to solve this. He’s already proven he’ll let Ukraine die

... but Trump will give Putin FOREVER.

Smh. He's not going to kill himself.

Dam !

Imagine relying on a strategy that hinges upon Trump coming to his senses. 😒

Calling the mendacious lying vulgarian "daddy" doesn't endear me into trusting that the Europeans have a clue or desire to deal with him.

and in the mean time many innocent people will die

JFC - can't these people see that Trump is a Putin Agent and compromised?!?!?!

They give him too much credit. And I sure wish people would quit playing to his ego. It’s disgusting and he just continues to get rewarded for being a terrible person.

There’s a time and place to play to his ego and I agree this is not the time.

They think they can manipulate TFG but he's already Putin's bitch and Putin has been manipulating TFG for decades. TFG will never do anything against Putin.

🔥💯

Yes yes yes yes yes

tRump paid tribute to his boss putin on America's face. putin probably reassured tRump he owns him every day of the week and that the republican party still has putin's soft power support. tRump can not, will not move against putin. Tough word or two no more. Same mob family, russian state mafia

How are they still not getting it 🤦‍♂️ Remember this?

The Trump is a dumbass strategy

He never will. He’s owned. It’s so fucking obvious.

Europe is disgracing itself as much as Trump. It needs to get on with it.

Not even close.

Well that's an odd conclusion from the post.

Not really. It should have sent troops a year ago. Instead, it's waiting for Trump to deal with the problem.

Europe needs to prepare to go to war with Russia and should not expect our help. That’s the reality of the situation. Putin has no plans for peace ans the US is compromised.

Ship Ukraine all the weapons you can in the meantime

Can’t imagine them not having a backup plan. No European leader is even close to as stupid & deranged as Trump. There’s no way they’re betting on him.

Why dance around it? Trump's a Russian asset.

This bsky.app/profile/pipe...

yeah, true and fine, but with regard to ukraine there's absolutely nothing to win by enraging trump. they might try to keep him from siding even more decidedly with putin and/or get him to release some of the arms aid he's withholding.

the chance that this works is slim but intentionally enraging him would be bullshit.

bibi probably has a copy as well bsky.app/profile/garc...

puddin is blackmailing 86taco47 with the #epstein files

Jmho it will fail... Thank You For Your Attention To This Matter

I think that’s wishful thinking. trump cannot disobey his master. He will never go against Putin. They gave him a codename, Krasnov.

Not going to happen.

To adapt Dennis Skinner's brilliant figure of speech "Trump wouldn't recognize the truth (of the politics of the situation) if it were sprayed in his eyeballs"

Sorry, but 🤣🤣🤣 like that will happen.

This will not work. FF is missing that component in his mental set-up (which most of us have) that signals when repeating a previous unsuccessful action will continue to be an unsuccessful action and will make you look like a Complete Sucker.

Why are there still people pretending we're still in Trump 1.0 instead of Trump 2.0? Trump 2.0 basically has gone crazy.

#russia IS #GENOCIDE

Thou shalt not praise Donald Trump!

Or he could just pull the US out of NATO, abandon Ukraine and fully support Russia. I certainly hope they've considered that eventuality.

I’m not confident that the 🍊💩 will have the intelligence or insight to reach the conclusion they are hoping for. They better have a Plan B.

I think they don't understand how deep runs Trump's pathological need to be accepted into the big boy club Putin represents.

They sound as delusional as him. Vovo must be delighted.

There better be a backup plan, because this initial plan is a failure from the get-go...Trump will never reach that point, and they are just giving Putin time...

The Europeans ar buying time to expand their war industry.

They are building up their war industry, which is both good and bad, but is extremely needed at this point.

All of this money being wasted over one person! Think about that !

If they think that Trump will EVER come to the realization, they are amateurs. Their delusions will be the death of us.

Trump will never figured out it won't work

Other parts of the scenario they have certainly gamed out, esp since 47 can’t be reasoned with or bullied (except by Putin) Europe keeps building its arms production capacity and delivers more to Ukraine and Poland. and for themselves Trump and/or Putin Expires Dems win a federal chamber in 2026

I don't get it. Trump has been blowing smoke up the ass of the Europeans and Ukrainians.. This week, Trump showed off a picture of himself and Putin, not anyone else like Macron or Starmer? Like Putin, Trump doesn't give a crap about anything but his thirst for power and money.

You said it!

Instead of humoring & praising Trump they should mock his lack of negotiating skills & for failing to use the leverage he has over Putin: Stop the war, retreat or face tougher sanctions, increased funding/weapons for Ukraine, including impounded Russian funds, and admission into NATO. Bust the myth

He will probably avoid reaching that conclusion. Even if he did, it may not compel him to take meaningful action. His goal is not simply to end the war but to end it with concessions as close to Putin’s original goals as possible. I hope that the Europeans can see through the ruse.

they can't be naive enough to believe he'd ever get tough on putin?

WOW everything we’ve seen says trump and putin are pals trump will never see anything wrong with his pal

Trump’s never reaching this conclusion. First he blames Ukraine for starting the war. Second, it’s pretty clear Trump sees giving away land as a fair ask so Ukraine’s refusal to do will cause them to be seen in his eyes as the barrier to his winning the NPP.

Oh, and another good idea, let’s announce our intentions to the world. I’m missing the reverse psychology part. Where’s my popcorn.

HOPE IS NOT A PLAN!!! It never works in other important areas in life, why do you think it will work in this one???

Understandable approach to get US to support the security guarantees. However, the coalition of the willing has to assume, 1. Putin is untrustworthy. 2. Trump is trustworthy only so far as it suits him politically. 3. Putin will never agree to meet Zelensky unless it is to humiliate him in public.

Donald Trump will never reach that conclusion.

Um, this is what they've come up with? After 8 mos of him in office + prev time in office? They don't have intel telling them of his relationship with putin? Oh boy.

Instead? Trump gave Putin yet another toothless, cowardly and empty two week warning!

TFG will never reach the conclusions they want him to. They don't align with his singular narcissistic worldview and TFG is Putin's bitch because Putin knows how to manipulate him. The EU needs to go ahead and do everything it can w/o the US because TFG won't ever accomplish anything against Putin

Obvious to all, but the Dullard in Chief constantly has trouble with the obvious. Most of us know that Lincoln was a Republican, hurricanes are wet, we don’t look at a full solar eclipse wo protection, unrelated adult men don’t roam the dressing room of teenage girls & Putin cannot not be trusted.

Trump has checked out. He'll only reenter the party if Putin gives him sufficient praise and / or bribes. If he reengages, it will be to the detriment of Ukraine. The Euro plan is naive. Take off the rose colored glasses and understand Trump as the perverse narcissist that he is.

See there's a third way, it's ugly WRT Ukraine but we are where we are. This is about jollying the US along. It's not like all the other countries are going to do anything different one way or another. If Trump never does figure Putin out we can still use the States to keep things going until the1/2

2/2 rest of the world has built up enough manufacture of arms that we don't need yall any longer. You are so inward looking and self delusional about your place in the world that your empire will be over before you quite realise it. Trump's arrogance looks exactly like that of WW1 Brits.

No way this is true. They're trying to calm him down like a toddler in a tantrum so he doesn't do something really dangerous. No one in Europe is sitting by the fire with a pipe saying "How can we unlock Donny's magical negotiating?! His silver tongue is the world's only hope!"

Yes, I'm sorry about even describing its tongue.

They know how to manipulate him, but they don't realize he's incapable of admitting he's wrong.

Europe plays along, flattering Trump like a child, but they know the truth: he isn’t naïve, he’s useful to Moscow. Calling him a “deal maker” is safer than admitting he’s a Kremlin asset. So they babysit the showman while preparing to clean up the damage he does for Putin

I think that's a terrible strategy. A good strategy would be to mock and shame StinkyAssolini. Embarrassed him for being a dumbass.

Trump actually deciding to get tough on Putin...

Trump will not abandon Putin. Get Ukraine into NATO by any means. Break the rules democrats are slow learners. These leaders should not be.

Unless the they have pictures of the pedophile with young girls they will never be able to flatter the narcissist enough. Kompromat only works.

Or what they really are doing....humoring Trump until Ukraine gets its homegrown missiles ready and blasts the sh*t out of Russia's oil supply.

putin’s strategy is to push American away from and out of Nato, and or weaken support for Ukraine so his nuclear threats can overcome his lack of progress in the field.

They need to promise him Trump Towers in Paris, London, and Berlin.

He never will reach that conclusion. He’ll just eat up the praise & puffery.

From what was said, we are supplying the weapons and the Europeans are paying for it. Maybe the Europeans need to go to China to supply the weapons. L

Trump wants Putin to win. How do they not understand that?

The Europeans are playing along and kissing ass because Ukraine needs 🇺🇸 weapons and intelligence, without which European weapons are still insufficient

no, its how we fund your debt.

🤔 you really don’t think the Europeans are playing nice to keep the fat 🍊 demented slob from stopping aid while they continue to build up their military industrial base?

sure. Its not a secret. Everybody knows that.

He will not, because they are not his orders.

I am afraid war will continue for quite some time Dumb Dumb Donnie won't solve it. All that can be done is for the EU to provide a military counter balance to hold Russia at bay until this sick moron either leaves office (don't hold your breath) or kicks the bucket.

Dumb Dumb Donnie is playing the long game. He really still expects to get a Trump Tower in Moscow and the original tapes of his KGB files from his escapades in their honey trap.

He won’t solve it, as witnessed by his structuring of the meetings. He’s not there to do the hard part. He just parachutes in at the end for a victory lap.

Sanctions for Putin? he laughs at that, he skirts all of them

Good luck. All he ever does is double down.

Unfortunately, trump will NEVER see Putin as a threat -- tink pee tape!

Well that strategy is already a failure given that Trump was showing off a picture of him and Putin from his Oval Office briefing yesterday.

Donald Trump can’t negotiate his way out of a paper bag.

That would require Trump not to be compromised and blackmailed by Putin.

Oh, c’mon!!! 😡 Who, in their right mind would believe in a ‘strategy’ devised by trumputin?!? THEY LIE!!! ☠️
