Wow. Trump intends to meet with Putin directly as soon as next week and then, “shortly afterward,” hold a trilateral meeting with Zelensky too. “It was not immediately clear if Mr. Putin or Mr. Zelensky had agreed to the plan Mr. Trump described.” lol www.nytimes.com/2025/08/06/u...
Putin won 2 weeks more time with this... Always show a way, walk it slowly, when you reach its end, show another one... Like Charlie Brown kicking the football... Not sure if Trump is dumb or compromised or both...
A Trump–Putin meeting is easy enough to imagine, but I will be shocked if Putin actually agrees to sit down with Zelensky. Unless Trump is about to threaten Kyiv into submission with some insane catastrophe, I don’t see how Washington expects to get Putin to see any benefit in meeting Ze.
It feels like a setup, like the last time when the GOPRussia hosted Poroshenko just before they ganged up on Z
When the Trump-Putin meeting achieves nothing, what will Trump do next?
Not sure Trump will manage to walk away if the war still goes on. He'll look like a failure, and he hates that look.
HE intends to do a lot of things.
Wunschdenken. I'll believe it when I see it.
Trump just saying words aloud to reporters. He’s unfit and needs to be removed.
Seems like he said this to European leaders on a conference call today, not to reporters.
