European leaders don’t believe Vladimir Putin is sincere about a peace deal — so their strategy is to humor and praise Donald Trump until he finally reaches the same conclusion and realizes he will need to get tougher on the Kremlin.

In fact, #Trump is being played, without even realizing it, by both Putin and European leaders.

Like the liberal political class they represent, European leaders are projecting themselves onto Putin. While pretending to rule in the interests of the common people, they have siphoned off people’s hard earned wealth to benefit corporate elites. EU leaders are the ones infested with insincerity.

The mental gymnastics EU leaders are going through to meet Trump in his omnipresent delusion is truly deserving of the Nobel prize Trump gets a golden lolipop

"Europe thinks Trump’s peace talks will fail" - I "think" we've got evidence enough from Agent Krasnow; Orange; or however you want to call him - that he was never able to keep a line - He's world champion in senseless talking; And we in Europe should finally action on alternatives w/o US, HU and SK

Watching the lineup at the WH of Europeans w Zelensky and Trump was mind-boggling- There’s the Clown-in-Chief pretending he’s in charge, and has a plan- then there are the Europeans who KNOW he’s a clown, but have to pretend he’s in charge and in fact has a plan.

One thing the whole world, including Europe, should understand is that it never bodes well to appease a dictator; it's better to confront them. Now, whether it's Trump or Putin, it's the same thing...

This was all theater anyway designed to distract from Epstein. Some think the Putin meeting was really about cutting up tho Arctic between the two powers.

There will be no peace, regardless of what King Trump claims. Putin seeks Ukraine's resources and is determined to win the war. 😱
