Good luck!

And good riddance.

That is classic.
President Trump just washed his hands and told them play stupid games win stupid prizes.

Yes. America first. We have enough problems to deal with at home. I don’t think either side wants to end the fighting and until such time as the two “leaders” are thrown out by their own people, nothing will end.

“Let them fight it out” I’m fine with that. The U.S.A being less involved is what I’d like to see. Ukraine regaining territory? That’s not on my bingo card. I’m not sure who’s in his ear….

A serious disrespect to Putin.

I’m confused. When he says we will continue to supply weapons for NATO to do whatever NATO wants–what does that mean? Is that any different than what has already been happening? Hasn’t NATO been helping the Ukraine obtain US weapons all along?

Unfortunately, it looks as if the smackdown in the Oval era is over….

Much of PDJT’s comments today will only embolden the Little Twerp.

PDJT wrote that ?
If he believes the Nazis have the ability to continue when they have old ass people on the ground fighting can win anything is amazing.
If the handcuffs have been taken off of Russia just watch how quick things escalate

So, let World War 3 begin!

However … I think that Russia is still quite immune to even this provocation.

And, as “utterly uncharacteristic” as this latest statement is, I begin to wonder about a Truth Social version of “the autopen.”

Still a proxy war, but I hope that means none of our young men will get deployed there for now. Unfortunately, if we do not leave NATO, and it’s starting to sound like we won’t, the next president if Democrat or RINO will gladly pull us into WWIII.

It’s Europe’s back yard. America is an ocean away so none of our business. We will sell weapons to NATO countries and they can use them, store them, or give them to Ukraine, whatever. Oh, and any that we GIVE to NATO for use in Ukraine will now count toward our annual contribution to NATO. Tricky.

Reminds me of my younger days. Used to hang out in this real dive of a bar. Fights would break out all the time. At first, as drinkers do we would all get involved and try to break it up usually to no avail as the combatants wouldn’t listen and keep going back at it. One of the old timers finally said to us just let’em fight. They’ll eventually get tired. Damn!!!! It worked.

I doubt Ukraine will gain back all the territory it wants. It’s also kind of sleazy for our country to be knee deep in the beginning of why this started and then simply walk away as though it’s not our problem. If you helped instigate it(not Trump) then at least help end it and ensure we don’t get involved in these types of wars again.

NATO: we will destroy Russia!
EU: yea and we will keep buying Russian Oil too!

FUBAR, all of it. There is nothing left to respect out of this clown show on all sides.

He is going to arm Ukraine which means the US is clearly choosing to support Ukraine going forward. If those weapons are used on Russian soil that makes us a legitimate target.

And if the EU were to get their way, Russia would be broken up, their natural resources stolen, and then their borders opened wide so that the Russian people can be erased like is currently happening to the Spanish, French, English, Swedish, German, etc.

We have no business arming Ukraine. If you are going to wash your hands than stop arming WWIII.

Bottom line: MAGA is living rent free and better yet PAYED by EVERY nation leader

This is puzzling to say the least. This tells me he is not getting the Ukraine truth. Seems like a slap to. Putin. I don’t agree with this.

That’s it. I’ve given up trying to figure out how this could make sense.

What pisses me off is working so hard to get away from the buzzjunkie existence of alcohol and pills and the general doper lifestyle while trying to lift others up out of the same quagmire by convincing them they too don’t have to live like that anymore, only to be destroyed by cocaine psychosis that is so bad that it will kill us all the way from Europistan.

Called everyones bluff. Pulled UN over his knee. Embarrassed China. Been an interesting day and more posts likely. 😉

“Russia has been fighting aimlessly for three and a half years a War that should have taken a Real Military Power less than a week to win.”

Nonsense.

Russia hasn’t even taken the gloves off in this war.

Russia never was fighting just “Ukraine.” If they were they would have won the war in three days.

Russia has been fighting the USA and all of NATO all of this time and still winning.

This is the US and globalists proxy war.

I am horrified if this is really what people around President Trump are telling him and that he is echoing their views.
Can he not see how President Putin has been progressing slowly but deliberately not wanting to sacrifice huge numbers of his soldiers? I notice that he has not bragged about victories and how many Ukrainians they have killed which is unlike what one would expect if he were a dictator with ambitions to set up a new Russian empire. Notice too that it has been territories in Ukraine that are predominantly Russian speaking and that were poorly treated by President Zelensky despite promises he made them of peace before he was elected. He of all leaders seems most concerned about feathering his own nest and with least concern for his soldiers.

This is a fundamental misunderstanding of Russia’s war-making capabilities. It is no paper tiger. It could obliterate Ukraine tomorrow if it wished to and force Kiev to sue for peace. Even without nukes. Just by doing what the US and all serious war-makers have done in history to win wars: destroy the entire infrastructure of an enemy.

Russia has fought with gloves on. A Marques of Queensbury rules war, leaving Ukrainian cities and infrastructure large intact. Ukrainian life hasn’t been made uncomfortable and dangerous enough to sue for peace against a much more powerful foe.

Whatever war-making capacity Ukraine has is gone on its own. Entirely reliant on the West, the actual provocateurs in the conflict.

The question then becomes for Trump, if Russia escalates and decides to prove it is no paper tiger and takes off the gloves what will Trump and the US under his leadership do about it?

If he’s telegraphing he’s going to do his best Nimarata Randhawa War Pig imitation he’s going to see his base collapse and walk away from a war monger they didn’t elect.

I didn’t vote for Nikki Haley foreign policy. Nor did most of his base. Can’t stab your voters in the back and ask them to send their sons and daughters into a meat grinder you promised you wouldn’t do.

Putin will react. He will escalate. What will Trump do about it when Kiev is bombed like London in the Blitz and the lights go out in the entire nation where stone age living returns? Will Trump let Ukrainians sue for peace with nonintervention? Even if NATO allies like Germany, France and, Poland engage and lose forces?

If Trump plans on sitting tight no matter what NATO does and Putin lets his tiger off the leash it could bring the war to a rapid end. But if Trump helps NATO’s war after Putin hits civilians – like winners of wars must do – then folks, we have Nikki Haley in the White House. And that’s the godawful truth.

ATTENTION WARMONGERS:

Send your own sons to die in WW3.

My son isn’t going to die for your warped causes and proxy wars.

TRUMP Using BIDEN’s Playbook in UKRAINE

( 56 min )

Surely Trump still believes Zelenskyy doesn’t hold any cards. I gotta believe Trump really understands Ukraine will never defeat Russia and will not retake the territory Russia has reclaimed.
By stating any “Real Military Power could have finished this in a week” perhaps this is goad Russia’s Putin to go ahead and finish this up, if you can?

I suppose we will find out exactly what this means over the next couple of days. In the mean time, a few questions:

When he says “We will continue to supply weapons to NATO for NATO to do what they want with them“, who will be paying for those? Will the U.S. just be giving them to NATO, or will NATO be buying them from the U.S.? And if NATO is buying them, whose money will they use – our money or money from the other NATO countries?

Will the U.S. continue to give money directly to Ukraine? For example, what about all the billions we have been giving to pay for their civilian government operations, salaries and pensions? Or is all that being terminated as of right now?

The President’s message might mean we are walking away or it might just be a big stick prod to get the peace process going again and if successful then we don’t walk away.

WEAPONS R Us…..🍿🍿🍿
Hope they pass the credit checks…..😬
Good luck, lads !

“We will continue to supply weapons to NATO for NATO to do what they want with them.”

What does he mean, “they”? Did the U.S. finally pull out of NATO?

He might as well have loaded the gun, forced it against Zelensky head and made Europe watch the inevitable result.

Reminds me of the 1960’s when the whole world went crazy.

PDJT…”return the original Borders from where this War started, is very much an option. Why not?”

…because the area taken by Russian Forces is the Donetsk and Luhansk regions which is 95% Russian and had declared independence from Ukraine in 2014 after Victoria Nuland’s coup which overthrew the legitimate President of Ukraine. In fact, almost 30% of the Ukrainian Army resigned to form the military of Donetsk and Lugansk which has been fighting Ukraine for over ten years. That’s why not!

“… Ukraine, with the support of the European Union, is in a position to fight and think Ukraine, with the support of the European Union, is in a position to fight and WIN all of Ukraine back in its original form.”

The President has transformed hyperbole into fantasy.

Sick of this stupid war……..not happy with PT on this one………..would like to see us get totally out of it …no money no weapons no boots on ground…

i disagree on the paper tiger bit and that the Z man can take back anything………..

I`m just thru giving a damn at all about Ukraine…………………….

seems like he’s taunting Putin to rake the gloves off

There ate no good guys in this war. A war between two corrupt tyrants. We should not give another dime to Ukraine or NATO to continue feeding this meat grinder.

On top of the Kermlin’s response yesterday, this has to be a multifacetted psyop.

Watch for action, and the minute details of the words.

???

President Trump starts off his post by saying I now fully understand. He didn’t understand before? This is just a criticism and nothing more but either he was fed a bunch of baloney or it’s something else.

So now we are going to be involved like before by sending weapons to NATO . I hope there will be no military sent there.

Ukraine is not regaining anything!

In a perfect world we get out of NATO. Kick them out of NYC. Build a reservation resort with gambling. It’s outlived its purpose. We stop all aid to the cross dressing d*c* piano player & his see eye a cohorts as their silo continues thwarting peace. End this stupid proxy war between us and Russia. Let Euro weenies enlist their own soldiers to fight. Hopefully, it’s a negotiation tactic with both Russia & Ukraine. I’ve learned to pay attention to the Professor’s pictures. They are coded & significant.

It isn’t that hard to understand the point. He tried negotiating a settlement, and Europe and Ukraine didn’t want it. Z says no to swapping territory for peace. Russia says it’s keeping what it took. EU is “horrified” but has no skin in the game.
Essentially this means if you won’t listen to reason, then go fight it out until the war knocks some sense into you. It’s put up or shut up time. If France and the UK want to defeat Russia, then go ahead. We will sell you weapons at a profit. If Russia wants a surrender, then force it if you can.
This is Trump’s walk away from the negotiating table gambit. He put the sticking points out for everyone to see, and says, if you won’t negotiate, fight it out. We will watch and sell stuff at a profit.

So we’re still going to supply Ukraine with American weapons and ammunition, through NATO, and CIA operatives are still going to run the war from a U.S. base in Germany, but good luck to Russia because we know you’re really in the right here.

This is deeply weird and it is not leadership. Leadership is to say, I’m the elected president and I’m going to take back control of America’s foreign policy, and we’re going to be friends with Russia, because that’s the only thing that makes geopolitical sense now. Thank you for your service, CIA, but I’ll take it from here.

I have a contact in St. Petersburg, and he’s said nothing about shortages or difficulties for the average person living in Russia. I suspect Trump is being fed bad info here, unless he’s stretching the truth in order to needle Putin. Actually, the latter is maybe as bad: one thing I remember Jordan Peterson talking about is how dishonesty is deadly when you’re dealing with someone who’s paranoid. I’m not sure how paranoid Putin really is, but I think that is driving him to some degree. So I don’t see this post as being the right message to direct towards Russia.

Russia’s initial assault was not an all-out stab at the heart, as the west has been led to believe. I don’t put full faith in the likes of Douglas MacGregor, but I do think he’s right in saying that the invasion was a message to the west of “I’m not fooling around here.” His best troops and elite units weren’t the first in. Unfortunately, instead of coming to the bargaining table, the west just escalated the situation and left Putin with no reasonable option but to push forward – even as the going got progressively tougher.

The one good thing in this post is its signaling to the EU powers that if they want to “win” this fight, they’re going to be the ones doing it. That should have been the position from the start: we’ll stand behind our NATO obligations if things escalate outside of Ukraine, but this is Europe’s situation to deal with. What’s really sad is that Ukraine has already lost everything: if they could go back in time and give Russia everything taken in the initial invasion in exchange for peace, they’d have avoided half a million dead and millions more who’ve fled, and being hopelessly in debt to globalist interests. If I were running the show, my message would be “Hey Putin: what happens in Ukraine no longer concerns the US; hey EU, if usurping Ukraine is that important to you, do it with your own blood and treasure.”

That certainly is out of left field.

Sundance
You have been inside Russia, and have told us here on Treehouse that the Russian People are largely unaffected in their day to day lives by what is going on in Ukraine.
You say the store shelve are full and they have food, and the necessities of life.
Trump here is saying the Russians are starting to feel the effects, with gas line etc.
Is this the new reality?
Does Ukraine have the manpower to field to take back the eastern regions from Russia?
I thought they had nearly depleted their military age men.
Russia may have the manpower to keep fighting for a while, but do they have the money or are are they really being depleted?
I believe you have better information in this than most sources.
What gives?

This is what sincere, honest and men of good character and judgement do. President Trump isn’t a bully, he isn’t some giant ego or a string man. He has met and negotiated with Putin and Z in earnest and good faith. He found that both of them to a certain degree are just yanking Trump’s chain. And Trump being a sincere man doesn’t like having his chain yanked. And he also lives by to mitti don’t make someone else’s foolish problems your own. Job well done Mr. President.

Ukraine is not regaining anything! The math is not there. There is zero replacement of Ukrainian fighters. This is another Vietnam and Somalia country

After getting to know and fully understand the Ukraine/Russia Military and Economic situation and, after seeing the Economic trouble it is causing Russia, I think Ukraine, with the support of the European Union, is in a position to fight and WIN all of Ukraine back in its original form. With time, patience, and the financial support of Europe and, in particular, NATO, the original Borders from where this War started, is very much an option. Why not? Russia has been fighting aimlessly for three and a half years a War that should have taken a Real Military Power less than a week to win. This is not distinguishing Russia. In fact, it is very much making them look like “a paper tiger.” When the people living in Moscow, and all of the Great Cities, Towns, and Districts all throughout Russia, find out what is really going on with this War, the fact that it’s almost impossible for them to get Gasoline through the long lines that are being formed, and all of the other things that are taking place in their War Economy, where most of their money is being spent on fighting Ukraine, which has Great Spirit, and only getting better, Ukraine would be able to take back their Country in its original form and, who knows, maybe even go further than that! Putin and Russia are in BIG Economic trouble, and this is the time for Ukraine to act. In any event, I wish both Countries well. We will continue to supply weapons to NATO for NATO to do what they want with them. Good luck to all! 
DONALD J. TRUMP, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

I love the fact that President Trump is the GOAT of Non-Pretenders!

Selling weapons to NATO is a lot different than handing over $150 billion to Zelenskyy.
As long as there are no American boots on the ground I’m ok with this message.
