Trump is like every other president who has tried a reset with Putin. And like every other president, he will get stung. My latest. puck.news/the-trump-pu...

The US advised UKR not to accept the Russian terms back in 2021. Now those terms are even harsher, mainy people are dead/injured, infrastructure is destroyed. You can debate what is fair but this is the reality and fairness is not part of the equation nor was it ever.
the bigger problem is that Russia is winning the war and short of the US and Eur sending in both troops (not happening) and way more weapons (they are in short supply) UKR is going to be destroyed. It might not be fair but in the end this is going to end entirely on Russian terms.
You really think he tried anything? C'mon now.
Vlad better be careful or orange julius will set a Fox News host on him
It seems that there are deeper connections involved. Trump could be very much aware of who Putin is but the two share a goal of destabilizing Europe, which apparently efficiently paves the way for their partnership.
The Orange Oaf never had a goal in his life. He can't think that far ahead. Whatever the last influencer or staff stooge stokes is genius to him, which accounts for his many mercurial flip-flops. Destabilizing Europe isn't his wish. Having Putin rub his tummy is. And it's straining the bromance.
Every other president wasn’t a Putin ally
But never has a US President meeting Putin had a brain quite so sluggish.
Lie down with dogs...
It's rumored that he is a Russian asset. If it's true, there are no resets. Also, notice how he makes a lot of noise but doesn't actually do anything that goes against Putin. I imagine their recent two-hour call was to make sure that T could continue to bloviate without fucking up P's playbook.
A “reset”? Is that what making America Putin’s lackey is called?
The difference is that never before has the U.S. been represented by such an ignorant and narcissistic president ...
Never is such a limiting word. Millard Fillmore, Franklin Pierce, and James Buchanan come to mind.
I don’t think anything trump does (or tries to do) can be equated with the actions of any prior presidents, especially in regard to Putin.
I mean, it's a huge mistake to try to reset relationships with someone, who is de-facto president for 25 years in state, where checks and balances exist only on pages of political science books about "rotten west" 🌝
When you're a Russian asset
He isn't trying to reset with Putin. That's what you do with a adversarial entity. This is him trying to become a junior partner in the autocrat club.
Putin is nothing if not patient. And Trump has the attention span of a child. Not a good match-up for the home team.
