Just posted on the Trump announcement. A real mixed bag and hardly the awesome package for Ukraine that had been promised. Trump gives Putin sanctions protection for 50 days and promises Ukraine defensive weapons. It’s saying to Putin, keep doing what you're doing. open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

Trump is consistently unreliable and untruthful, so any talk of a reversal of policy is just that - talk.
Trump realizes his Keystone Cop Mobsterism doesn't always work. Tariffs have to be delayed because most countries resist rewarding Trump. And this applies to giving Putin 50 (plus?) days to do something that appeases Trump. The Trump administration is unraveling on the world stage.
He is just trying to worm his way out of Epstein’s noose.
Trump doesn't play the jilted lover very well. He's quite selective about when to be vindictive. He still fears Putin despite his public remarks. Under any other circumstance someone who "bullshits" Trump would be mercilessly attacked & vilified. Hard to believe Trump is a bigger coward than Putin.

I can almost hear small change Trump jingling in Putin's pocket
Wait for the Vitkoff-Dmitriev pact. Trump=Gesheft
"Worth noting that Putin told Trump a little while ago that Russia's plans were to keep up the offensive for the next two months--almost exactly the period Trump is making sure that they will not get sanctioned" Good spot! However, Putin is as likely to keep his promise as Trump is.
it is exactly - Putin said 60 days 10 days before Trump gave him 50 days
50 days is the new 2 weeks.

According to Rachel Maddow, trump has become an ally to Putin and other strong arm dictators like Kim Jong Un. An ally, not an asset or useful idiot.
Trump isn’t even threatening to put sanctions on Russia. He’s just threatening tariffs, which will have no impact on Russia, since we don’t they don’t have anything we import.
It is nothing less than a second Hitler Stalin pact
Interesting bit, thanks. It's in line with what I think: Trump keeps being their tool.
Yeah, I was thinking it's a summer offensive window. Grim, absolutely grim.
Trump is a fascist, a traitor and a felon 🤯 Europe is on its own to fight Russia. And victory is the only option. #SlavaUkraïni 🇩🇰🇱🇹🇳🇱🇸🇪🇫🇮🇵🇱🇫🇷🇩🇪🇮🇹🇪🇺🇬🇧🇳🇴✊🇺🇦
Those 50 days will cause close to 100.000 people to be killed or injured. Why not now mr President, if you care for human lives?
It is obvious that Trump wants to “get rid of the Ukraine issue” as cheaply as possible, but he will not be able to. See where we have come from: “Zelensky is not the legal president of Ukraine and they have to pay us back USD 500 bln” To: “EU can buy US weapons + sanctions looming”
What does Russia export to USA? Dirty money?
Yes," I'm so cross with you that I'm going to do nothing for a couple of months."
It’s TACO Tuesday!
Trump has never held a reasoned thought for fifty consecutive days. Maybe before his dementia kicked in, but not since.
Well, now Trump has his balls grabbed by two hands, one the usual one, Putin and Kompromat and the other, very recently, a declining popularity among his mostly pro-Ukrainian voters: He turns the 'two weeks' into 'fifty days' and opens the arms bazzar but only to intermediaries.
It is all fake stuff as we have been saying and you have been at the forefront for all of the rest. He is on Putin's side.
Who is Trump really helping… Ukraine or Russia? It should be Ukraine but I FEAR it is Russia! Sell NATO US weapons?? We can’t or won’t provide them for free but WOW we could BOMB Iran… no LIMITS there! The WAR should end today not in 50 days! Why the delay? To LET Russia win? TROJAN HORSE…
It seems like the same game from earlier this year will be played again, with the difference that now Europeans are paying the US for the weapons for Ukraine to defend themselves. By action this seems not a change in Trump’s policy or attitude neither towards Russia nor Ukraine.
Pussy moron

promises to SELL defensive weapons to Ukraine's allies
Fiddle Taco doing what Fiddle Taco does.
Putin strings along tRUmp, who then strings along the rest of the world. Postponing sanctions by 60 days as requested by Putin "to get the job done" irt the Donbas. Allowing Europe to purchase weapons for Ukraine from the US makes up for incurred losses of US MIC. Weak & Mercurial. Another TACO?
And ... After tRUmp dismantled the agencies created to oversee, enforce and adjust the sanctions already imposed on Russia by the previous administration, those sanctions atrophy and erode over time, losing their effectiveness. He could have resurrected them ... Further delays in the works?
Ukraine 🇺🇦 is Strong 💪 Ukraine 🇺🇦 is Winning!!
just a lot of hot air and no substance as usual pathetic man child.
Let me mark this day as the day that we, Europe, allowed the war on our doorstep to become the US proxy war that brought about machine warfare.
Anyone doubting Phil, don’t take his word for it. Instead, take the russian analysts word: They identified that trump gave them a 50 day carte blanche. bsky.app/profile/chri...
The rest of the world is giving Putin the next 50 days too. Europe and Canada are big on promises right now, but weak as hell on deliveries. Everything is by the end of 2025, or by 2026, or "over the next five years". They hope there will be a "peace agreement" so they never have to deliver.
Guess what he's doing in this photo.
Of course it is. And nothing will change when the 50 days pass either. Except many more people will no longer be among the living because we allow russians to keep doing what they're doing.
Just what US allies said. Trump's America.......CANNOT BE TRUSTED.

On July 3, putin informed Trump in a phone call of his intention to intensify attacks and take complete control of key Ukrainian regions within 60 days. Now, Trump is giving putin 50 days before imposing new sanctions.
50 days is such a specific, weird time period. What’s Putin cooking up that he needs 50 days to do? #NeverTrustTrump

Another potion of bullshit and lies. That is sooooo typical! And people were hoping that this clown will do something real! 😅😅😅😅😅

Never any pressure on Russia, or the pressure is always delayed endlessly.
Your headline says it all!!
Ha! Of course he did. The “ two week” grifter is now the “ two month” grifter.
Wow! 50 whole days'? That'll show Putin. 🙄
Trump acts still like a KGB Agent!
Why give them an extra 50 days? What's the reasoning behind it? Honestly, it's hard to understand.
