President Trump sat down for an extensive interview with Dasha Burns of Politico. Despite the ideological outlook of Politico, the interview itself was remarkably absent of combative antagonism. The result is a good review of the current positions of President Trump as they relate to the rest of the world.
The Ukraine-Russia conflict is the immediate issue that is discussed within the interview. President Trump answers some direct questions about who is currently most responsible for continuing the conflict and is asked his opinion directly on Ukraine not holding elections.
President Trump notes Russian President Vladimir Putin is in the strongest position within the conflict and carries the strongest leverage into any ceasefire negotiations. Trump also frames the need for the bloodshed to end with a much greater sense of urgency than any of the EU leaders or Zelenskyy. Additionally sharing the opinion that Ukraine needs to have an election to showcase the will of the Ukrainian people in the leadership of Volodymyr Zelenskyy. WATCH:

The only weird thing is that the US keeps breaking their own plans by means of their EU vassals
And keeps trying to negotiate with itself by means of its installed regiment in Ukraine
It’s sort of like watching someone talk to two sock puppets on their hand.
No wonder they closed the mental asylums because the politicians would be in it.
As the saying goes the lunatics are running the asylum.

How do we get the see-eye-a to adopt the above Primacy Of Nations policy?
by dismantling it completely.
A thousand pieces to be scattered in the wind…
I wonder why President Trump hasn’t done that…
Look what happened to the last President who said he would do that.
And his brother, too.
Great question. It seems the see-eye-aye doesn’t think in terms of the best interest of the USA.
Does anyone actually believe the CIA hasn’t flagged the words “see eye aye” long ago?
If anything it’s a red flag 🚩 because a person using that pseudonym appears to be trying hard not to show up on their radar.
🤦🏼♂️
CIA was meant for the foreign crowd, the NSA for the home crowd! Trump needs to straighten out the Wray/Ratcliffe problem!
The CIA on Operation Mockingbird:
“We’ll know it’s been successful when everything Americans think they know is a lie.”
Well, we thought the alphabet agencies were good, the elected politicians worked for us, and that our foreign policy “did good” around the world. It was a lie for a long time now.
However the original intentions. Its wholly owned by the oligarchs. And operates against the interests of Americans like us.

If you post here, or even read here, you are undoubtedly on multiple list so IMO it matters not what you post.
Time to dismantle the alphabet agencies! Cut the funding!
I get the feeling that sinking narco-terrorist drug-running boats is cutting funding to CIA.
The slowing of cash and weapons to project Ukraine is restricting the volume of these resources to divert for CIA income.
Installing a CIA asset as president in a successful Caracas regime change would reopen that country for actual CIA/DEA drug running operations.
The Chavez/Maduro, as the Cuban regimes are hostile to the narcotic trade.
Here’s hoping!
Excellent!
Which is why the CIA and their Media Puppets are framing this as a war between the US and Venezuela.
how will we get the demand for fish satisfied ??

It also goes against the stated goal of reducing the population of Americans like YT.
Bingo.
Don’t code your language. Please let TPTB know how much we hate them. Especially the pawns that do it for a paycheck. They might be more disgusting than the order givers.
CIA was designed to work with foreign powers, NSA was for the home base! Now we have CIA dicking around home base. Wray gotta go!
So where was this a couple months ago when we were hearing the Ukraine can beat Russia, we just need to give them more weapons crap? I wish we would spend more time focusing on cleaning the corruption out of our IC community and making our elections secure than worrying about foreign affairs.
I agree. And before one more dime is spent on foreign aid, every illegal in the USA needs to be gone. America first.
American dollars given to Ukraine paid for all the incorrect information about the Russia-Ukraine war. … The American people were scammed by our corrupt politicians, fake news, and ‘in on the graft’ Ukrainians.
Retired US Army Colonel MacGregor said repeatedly that Russia would win the war. … American >money and weapons have kept Ukraine in the war longer than expected. … People were/are profiting from this war; they didn’t/don’t care about the destruction and loss of life, as they were pocketing some Yankee Dollars.
Russian manafacturing is also making money on the war.
Why would they want it to stop?
Putin also has his problems.
Correct! If PDT announced an audit of every US taxpayer dime flushed through that corrupt dump, the politicians supporting the ongoing farce would get quiet pretty fast. Ms Linda Graham might finally shut up about it.
An audit could never be properly done. I doubt an audit could find where 10% of our taxpayer money went to. Ukraine was one of the world’s major money laundering hubs going back long before 2022 and still is. Any auditors sent over there would not be safe, nor find much local cooperation, even if the audit started after a peace settlement might be reached, and we know how unlikely peace seems.
But an audit should be attempted, if for no other reason than the impossibility of conducting a proper one may just expose enough to show just how dirty all these Z-supporting warmongers are.
Any US auditors would need to read, write and speak fluenty in Russian/Ukrainian and be willing to be blown-up by a car bomb in Kyiv. How many DOD Auditors do you think we have with those qualifications?
Answer: None!
Remember the missing audit money regarding the Pentagon? It was announced on 9/10/2001….
I remember. Not sure of the amount, but think it might have been 3 billion.
I think it was close to 3 Trillion.
Maybe AI can find it.
Elon said he would not do DOGE again because it cost him too much. So much for pledging their blood, treasure . . . oh, you know the thing! We can’t even get a decent Revolution off the ground. And it is still ENGLAND that Obama is in cahoots with.
After securing our elections, we must get the judicial branch under control.
And that means we may have to wait for some time after winning the 2026 mid-term elections.
Mid-term Election: November 3, 2026

Or: End the Filibuster in the Senate ASAP.
Trump and the GOP have done zero about election fraud or voter fraud.
If they do nothing the Democrats own the 2026 election. They will steal it.
Trump has less than a year. Hundreds of agents and $millions spent to arrest a “Pipe Bomber” whose bombs were duds, accomplished what exactly?
Patel can’t spare 50 agents for election fraud? Pam Bondi????

You said, [President] Trump and the GOP have done zero about election fraud or voter fraud.
As a matter of fact, you know nothing of the sort.
Just because he hasn’t broadcasted anything specific contrary to your statement does not mean nothing is happening.
President Trump is going after Madura and the vote fraud hub in Venezuela right now.
That operation has been going on since April.
You said, “If they do nothing the Democrats own the 2026 election. They will steal it.”
The Democrats aren’t going to own or steal anything.
The rest of what you said is just more FUD spam.
People are smart enough to recognize mainstream psyop narratives for what they are, especially when those narratives are plastered all over conservative websites like this one.
Try harder.

The Republicans in Congress love election fraud just as much as the Dems. They want Trump gone and back to normal graft and corruption too.
Trump cannot get his people past the Senate and Thune will not help. Grassley is 90 years old and only cares if corruption involves Republican Senators..
Elections that can be predetermined so that only insiders stay wealthy and with power helps both sides not President Trump or the American working class.
I’m starting to think one cannot even run for office unless they have something on you to hold over your head.
The same people who placed Zelensky into power also completely control the media.
The Ukraine never stood a chance. Zelensky knows this and doesn’t care. His job is to prolong it as long as possible and kill off as many Russians and Ukrainians as possible. And also to widen the war by any means possible.
And as usual making as much money as posdible for the connected politicians and oligarchs.
Sadly, I think it’s impossible to do one or the other. I think the two have become inseparable.
Zelensky continues to assert that the Ukrainian Constitution precludes having elections in times of war. That is his intellectual crutch.
Problem is .. the crutch DOES NOT EXIST because Z-Man suspended the Ukrainian Constitution and he has been ruling without it for the past 3 years.
This a fact nobody but President Putin seems to notice in public, when Z-Man uses this excuse.
well, there are other ways to remove him.
The SEE-EYE-AY from the previous post has been doing ‘chores’ just like that for over 75 years….our current leader needs to grow a pair ….of ears to listen to Americans not his EU tearoom buddies!
I don’t think PDJT sees the EU as tearoom buddies. I think he sees them as a malignancy that we have to deal with.
In this interview, President Trump strongly suggested that the EU “people” deal with their feckless leaders, not us. It’s always assumed that the American people will continue to prop up the rest of the world, endlessly shelling out our hard-earned money along with the precious blood of our sons and daughters, while they all sit back gloating in their Euroweenie globalist brew.
That ship has sailed. I trust that any dollars flowing overseas are now being traced, and those TRAITORS holding their Constitutional Republic fire sale will finally be dealt with, severely, just like those boat cartels.

I think Ukraine’s constitution also precludes ceding territory.
A recent change
Constitutions mean nothing to the Globalists. We all KNOW why he is prolonging this.
Ukraine doesn’t have to cede territory, Putin will take whatever he wants…
The U.S. Constitution guarantees the right to keep and bear firearms, a right to privacy and protection from unlawful search and seizure but those rights are ignored by both federal and state governments. What makes the Ukrainian Constitution any more sacred than ours?
We have heard the threats and promises before … v/v leaving Z-Man and his EU Buddies to fend for themselves due to their stance and refusal to negotiate.
Now it is writing via this Strategic Policy Statement and indirectly via the form of the NDAA Budget request that it’s either make a deal or Z-Man and the EU can face Russia Alone …. There is no more back pedaling room Mr. President and the waffling iron is now unplugged …. put up or as they say “talk to the hand” in the future on this subject.
“Free and Fair” elections is the starting point.
“Free and Fair” elections don’t exist in any country that uses the voting machines from Venezuela.
How about some “extensive comments” on voter fraud and election fraud.
Europe wants a war with Russia. OK, but the Italian and French armies will do what exactly against Russia.
Russian Military Chief of Staff: “President Putin,, the French Army is coming.”
Putin: “Call the Police and the Fire Department.”
How about some “extensive comments” on the war a little closer to home? I hear that Dearborn and Minneapolis have fallen and NYC, LA, and Seattle are in trouble. How about that war?
That is indeed an existential threat to Western Civilization.
Chriistian civilization!
They have fallen because of election fraud.
The Democrats/Communists get elected by voter/election fraud and THEN they destroy our cities. and country with illegal immigrants.
I mean are you telling everyone here that Biden won fairly?
Fraudulent elections are now the norm. First and foremost, the machines have to be trashed.
Sorry if I came across as critical. Actually I agree with you that domestic issues should be taking priority.
If only the R’etards in the senot could get their arsses going and drop the filibuster and the damn blue slip nonsense. Gentleman’s forum went out the window decades ago.
No excuses. Where are the Senot champions? Kennedy, Hawley, Johnson. Shut the thing down so Trump can put in his picks. Then come back to announce that you decided to drop the filibuster until after the 2026 mid-terms. And pass MAGA legislation until you drop. No sarc intended! Idiots all of’em..
Exactly just like Miami. The corrupt own the precincts and fix elections. They MUST be held accountable!!!
You think Politico wants to shed light on domestic terrorism? That would have to be a different fake news outlet. Faux news might address it if they weren’t so busy weeping for the drowning drug traffickers.
There is a serious question… How many French Soldiers does it take to defend Paris?
Nobody knows; it has never been done.
This goes to the heart of the problem with using French forces.
My Father landed on Utah Beach on “D” Day… Fought across France and joined Patton’s Army for the Battle of the Bulge…
He didn’t talk much about the war, but he did say this: “As we fought our way across France, we didn’t see a single French man with a gun, but they all had white flags”…
Sounds familiar. I wonder if our fathers ever met.
Let PDJT pull back from supporting Ukraine with $ and weapons. The EU voters are sick and tired of this endless bloodshed.
Only the EU lefty minority governments want this war to continue. UK PM Starmer has a 14% voter approval. Germany’s Metz and France Pres. Macron are under 20%!
And besides that, the EU armies are depleted of their vital weapon systems. Patriot air defence systems? I.E. the Netherlands have only one patriot system left. They gave 8 systems away to the Ukraïne. Ukraine waisted the 2 million rockets a piece for shooting at $ 40 K drones. All the Dutch F 16 fighters were given away to Zelensky who had no trained pilots to fly the planes. The Netherlands now has a few F35 aircraft, but not enough the replace the F 16’s by far.
If Trump does not allow the US weapons sold to the EU to replennish their depleted stocks to be given away to Ukraine again, this war is over before Christmas.
EU ‘leaders’ are all hat but no cattle. It takes at least 10 years to bring their armies back to fighting strenght. If Putin decides to invade the EU in the next 10 years, he can walk right in. That is, if PDJT decides to reject NATO’s article 5.
If the EU want to pick a fight with Russia and start WW III, just let them do as they please.
Putin: “Call the Cossacks, They know how to deal with those white flags.”
Thanks to Boris J and his political elite cronies the deal beween Russia and Ukraine was sunk in 2022 and this allowed president Z to send over a million of his own people into the meatgrinder. If the US president at the time understood was was going on and stood up to the warmongers in government he may have helped save these lives and deservedly receive a Nobel Peace Prize.
Half a million Ukrainian men took off before the war started.
I hate foreign entanglements.
The problem is that we are the only adults in the room on this “side” of the conflict. The coalition of the willing are indeed willing to lead the world down the path to WWIII. They are weak and foolish enough to believe that a “limited nuclear exchange” with Russia would be enough to “win.” Serious people know that there is no such thing; that a “limited nuclear exchange” will inevitably lead to a general nuclear exchange that we all lose.
We’ve got to find a point of leverage that costs the eurotrash more money than they stand to lose when the war ends.
Really too bad about the treasonous actors in our IC/Gov. President Trump still believes these people have the Countries best interest at heart. They don’t.
I wonder what the triggering event will be?
The chess board is bigger than just the Ukraine and Russia.
The spice must flow, and Brussels can’t stop it without blowing up NATO.
https://www.reuters.com/business/energy/turkey-guarantee-flow-russian-gas-hungary-orban-says-2025-12-08/
The world would be a much better place without NATO.
A Political interview that bombed deep state wisdom instead of the President.
Color me pleasantly disorientated and waiting for the retraction.
President Trump’s words express a greater sense of urgency. Where’s the action? We can all talk for another three years.
The problem is that everyone thinks we are playing chess when we are really playing Blind Man’s Buff. Taking the blindfold off and the game will be over.
Well, old ‘I can’t watch anything more than 5 minutes long’ actually watched and enjoyed this interview. President Trump did an excellent job of keeping things on topic and well away from blame street.
The best and most aggressive interview he has ever done.
If they could only show President Trump’s answers and cut out the enemy questions, I might watch.
Dear VSGPDJT…it’s is time to make speech to the nation on TV/RADIO.. regard this war ….and stop talks to presstitutes…
Those that really control the world…..want endless wars……
there is only so much a President can do……….as long as we have such a corrupt Congress/Senate …DOJ/FBI AND CIA.
War is now and always has been a racket.
I don’t believe President Trump is powerless. I’ll never believe that.
He’s not powerless, but he’s also not all-powerful. There are limits, even for this President.
Then let’s have him pull out of Ukraine, NATO, the UN and stop givi9ng any money around the world!
It will cut right to the point to see who in our government is for and against America and the true Americans.
With this exposure the people can then decide who they are for.
CONGress already passed legislation preventing our President from pulling out of NATO without their permission. If anyone still hasn’t figured out who is blocking MAGA, it’s CONgress.
Pull out from NATO and let Congress take to the Supreme Court
Lots of ways to get out of NATO… Pull our troops out of Europe and stop sending them $$$, arms and ammunition…
Can’t pull out of nato unless congress agrees. Congress changed rules last year
It pays well for some…
And costs everything for most.

President Trump has the power to replace bondi at DOJ, and can shut down the FBI and CIA…
why he has ignored those problems is beyond my power to figger out.
Without NATO and US military involvement these EU leaders have no chance against Russia. Time for the leader of the free world to let these raving maniacs know this is not our battle.
Actually it is the Trump administration that points out that other than nuclear weapons, the EU outclasses Russia in every conceivable metric. That’s his whole point on reducing American involvement there.
Natural gas production is a conceivable metric. We could include oil production. Russian production dwarfs the combined EU countries. which import a majority of their energy sources. We don’t even have to compare standing armies. The EU Union has no forces of it’s own and must rely on member states of which Italy and France are the largest with about 300,000 troops. Russia has a count of about 2.4 million with half on active duty.
“Outclasses” interpretations obviously can vary.
Actually in the interview he said that Europe is on the way down and getting weaker.
It’s a mistake to give Russia territory. But, dang if we aren’t going to try that again.
Remember when Europe gave Germany the Studenland in Czechoslovakia?
Yeah, me neither. I wasn’t born until after WWll.
Giving it to them? It’s former Russian territory that was part of a civil war before the current conflict in which Russia has taken it back militarily. In any case why is up to the US to satisfy Ukraine’s wants? Or the EU’s? Further why are we paying roughly 60 billion annually to have bases in Europe to protect Europe? Why isn’t Europe paying us a tidy profit for protecting them? IMO it’s really hard to see the EU as a US ally…they are also pushing Ukraine to not make any territorial concessions, to reject the WH 19 point plan, and to continue fighting Russia while they try to wrangle the US into paying for it and the US military into protecting them should they provoke Russia into retaliating. Where’s the benefit to the US in any of that? Trump’s vision of normalized relations with Russia and working towards economic cooperation with them holds far more promise of anything beneficial to the US than what Europe espouses. Just my little rant for the day!
Good rant.
Don’t apologize.
more rant ,please !!!!!
The EU is a protectorate not an ally.
That’s why they have an entitlement problem.
They used to be a protectorate before President Trump. He is busy decoupling as we speak.
Great. So who is going to push Russia off the Donbas physically?
Strongly worded letters only go so far, and I doubt there is any stomach for a true kinetic war in Europe by everyday Europeans… much less here in the States.
No one is giving Russia territory. They already took it back. It was originally Russian territory which is why the residents are all Russian speaking. When Obama overthrew the Ukraine govt in 2014, the Donbass refused to accept our puppets who were installed, so a civil war began. Ukraine killed about 14,000 Russians in the Donbas until Russia went in and rescued them. They voted to join Russia, just like Crimea did years ago. It’s a done deal. Besides the winner always gets to keep the territory they won. That’s how we acquired the western US states.
excellent rant Margie !!!!

On whose part?
Here’s some of it.
“ Under the deal, Ukraine retains its sovereignty and can join the European Union.
Russia retains the eastern areas of Ukraine, which were Russian-speaking before the war, and Crimea, which Russia has held since 2014, and its important Black Sea ports.
Ukraine won’t join NATO, and NATO won’t put troops in Ukraine.
But Ukraine will have NATO security guarantees, and its standing army will be more than double its pre-war size, making it a buffer state with …”

that chick interviewing is RUDE, obnoxious, and not very smart, yet she thinks she is.
Politicos audience is the same low information voters that watch the View, CNN and MSNOW. Trump is on that platform to get his policies out to that audience. Otherwise they have no clue.
She’s an absolute amateur; a typical mainstream hack.

“Here we are in the White House. Things are looking nice.”

The NDAA authorized $400,000,000 per year for two years payable to Ukraine. President Trump cannot walk away because Congress has tied his hands.
If I am not mistaken, there was a bill put forward forbidding President Trump from leaving NATO.
Surely you get the picture. Our own Congress and Senate have made themselves essentially the controlling factor with regard to Ukraine. The globalist faction of the Republican party and the Dems are the true reason we are still negotiating. There are factions in both parties in both houses that have vested interests in this war.
IMO: Many members of both houses are retiring within the next year. It is imperative that candidates are found that are conservative, not neoconservatives, to replace the outgoing members. They must be backed to the fullest and committed to bring back the U.S. from the brink.
The race to the finish starts now.
The FBI, NSA could be tasked to trace (direct and indirect) money back to congresscritters. Likely the ones who insist on continuing to send money (to fund back to themselvs and cronies.
I think we just went through a screaming match over FBI gathering information on Republicans phone activity without notifying them. Can you imagine what would happen if the FBI/NSA would conduct an investigation into bank accounts and such?
Let’s face it, as soon as suspected lawmakers were notified they would immediately apply the HRC clean up method of all information.
Nice thought though.
Tim Kaine D,VA and Marco Rubio R, FL sponsored the bill to keep the US in Nato. Bipartisan bill doncha know?
Wow. Finally, PDJT is reframing Zelensky from a democratic hero to a problematic figure and doing it via Politico is to speak to the DC Beltway Klan.
Here is the message in a nutshell:
Zelensky must accept my terms, or U.S. support will change.
Europe is weak and failing.
Ukraine cannot win the war as it’s being fought.
PDJT can end it, but only if they “play ball.”
Did I hear the President correctly? The election was a fraud and we have it all now, you’ll be hearing about it in the next couple of months.
I sure hope so!
Am I the only one left wondering why it is that despite virtually everyone on the European continent walking around with a high definition camera in their pocket, we never see video of any actual combat in Ukraine, or it’s aftermath?
No, no. You’re certainly not the only one.
It is inconceivable and quite frankly impossible. But no one ever asks why.
You’re right. We saw more videos of drug boat strikes, war in Nam, etc.
My fat fingers have accidently flagged comments. Sorry admin…please ignore.
I usually read and post on a kindle. I can delete unintended flags by tapping anywhere in the far left side of the screen.
President Trump had her say, “You’re right”, within 2 minutes of the interview.
Vladimir Putin is intensifying a sustained campaign to “make Ukraine go dark” by systematically targeting its energy infrastructure, particularly as winter approaches. According to recent assessments, including from The Economist, Putin has shifted focus from territorial conquest—having gained less than 1% of Ukrainian territory in 2025 despite heavy losses—to destroying Ukraine’s civilian infrastructure to erode public morale and force mass emigration. This strategy aims to render large parts of eastern Ukraine uninhabitable by dismantling power, heating, and gas systems.
The winter of 2025 marks a dangerous escalation in Russia’s energy warfare, with attacks now extending beyond the power grid to target Ukraine’s gas production and centralized heating systems. In October 2025, Russia launched what Ukrainian officials described as the largest attack on natural gas facilities in the war, striking Naftogaz infrastructure in Kharkiv and Poltava regions with 35 ballistic missiles and 60 drones. The strikes destroyed an estimated 60% of Ukraine’s domestic gas production capacity, according to energy experts and the Kyiv Independent.
Further attacks in late October and November targeted gas storage sites, pipelines, and combined heat and power plants, which supply heat to over 80% of Ukrainian households. The International Energy Agency (IEA) warned that Ukraine faces a structural power deficit of 6 GW heading into winter, with Russian strikes having permanently knocked out nearly 70% of the country’s power generation capacity.
Ukrainians have coined the term “Kholodomor”—a reference to the 1930s Soviet-engineered famine (“Holodomor”)—to describe Russia’s current strategy of killing by freezing. The Kremlin’s deliberate targeting of civilian infrastructure is widely seen as a form of genocide and a war crime, intended to destroy Ukraine’s statehood by inflicting mass suffering.
Interesting diatribe.
The majority of what you wrote tracks to Reuters, The Hill, European Parliament and EU public figures (Radosław Sikorsk), RSN dot org (Andriy Yermak, head of the Ukraine’s presidential office) and other mainstream/globalist sources.
The “Holodomor” was a land grab that resulted in famine, both were Soviet-engineered.

Here are a couple of maps to help all of our new geo-political analysts/rewriters of history understand what is going on in the Ukraine and what is going to become of the Ukraine.
The Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporozhzhia, and Kherson Oblasts joined Russia in September of 2022.
The Crimea joined Russia in 2014.
Sevastopol is an incorporated federal city of the Russian Federation since 2014.
As Russia has proceeded with its SMO in the above mentioned areas, Ukrainian troops assisted by foreign mercenaries have set up in the other oblasts such as Kharkiv and Poltava.
The Russian hits on those locations are for the purpose of destroying opposing military installations and supply lines.
There are no hits on civilian areas; the civilians have already evacuated.
Military forces need gas, electricity, heat, food, housing, travel/transportation routes, and supply warehouses just like civilian populations do; more so to accommodate the added artillery, equipment, and ammunition, etc.
The bottom map shows a very large area in red.
Those red oblasts are the oblasts that have either already joined Russia or will join the Russian Federation when all is said and done.
The residents will vote to join the Russian Federation and will accept Russian passports/identification and Russian currency.
All of the gas storage sites, pipelines, heat/power plants, all of it, will be repaired, replaced, and rebuilt for the civilian populations in the respective oblasts.
Since the USSR fell in 1991, the Ukraine has gone from bad to worse, no thanks to globalist infiltrators who never gave two $41ts about Ukrainian civilians.
The occupation of the Ukraine was for the purpose of establishing a large military hub.
The hub was supposed to be the base of operations for a large scale invasion into Russia, on into Siberia, and eventually into the Arctic in an effort to take over that entire area.
World domination was their goal and it doesn’t take a rocket scientist or a brain surgeon to figure all that out.

Thanks. I doubted that the original post was correct as it would not be in Russia’s interest to completely destroy the infrastructure of territory that they will acquire that will be comprised of Russian citizens. It did not make sense.
You’re welcome, Miss Elle.
We have an incredible number of FUD spammers trolling the Treehouse, so if something doesn’t make sense it’s probably because it’s total BS spam.

Yep — President Putin has been trying to save the Russian people.
Your posts are all great but this one is Olympic Gold. It could not be better said by anyone. Thank you.
Every word is gold, but your words “The occupation of the Ukraine was for the purpose of establishing a large military hub…” and so on are critically important. That’s the whole globalist plan in a nutshell.
What still confuses me about President Trump’s strategy is why he seemed to not be clear on this sooner. I assume his problem has been trying to walk a tightrope and making the best choices to achieve a resolution with the killing stopped sooner rather than later. But now he is speaking more freely because he sees that on their own the globalist will never back off their Ukraine campaign. If you have any thoughts on this I would certainly be interested.
Not sure whether or not you’ll see this, MsWords.
They won’t back off, they’ve invested too much for too long, and it was the only plan they had.
They are fresh out of options, nowhere else to go.
When they lose the Ukraine, they lose everything. They will be exposed.
That’s why they’re so desperate.
Eventually, they’ll run out of money and time.
As unpleasant and expensive as all this is and has been, time is on our side and on Russia’s side.
All we can do is wait it out patiently.
President Trump is doing the best he can with what he’s been dealt.
He also has more information and insight than we do.
Between President Trump and President Putin, they’ll fix this.
Don’t worry, everything will be just fine, you’ll see.

To strike at an enemy’s continued ability to “wage war,” you strike at his industrial infrastructure and his energy. You discover where he is assembling weapons and you wipe that out. You also find out where the electric power to run that plant is coming from, and you wipe that out also. This is how you “demilitarize” a place, and: War. Is. Hell.
When the Ukranian people have finally gotten enough of their situation, they will find a way to “deal with” Zelensky. And all of the other people who have led them into this mess.
I do not recall past presidents doing these lengthy media interviews like President Trump. Do you remember Biden or Obama doing these long interviews with fast firing of different questions and subjects their first year? Dasha Burns (Ukrainian) of Politico had her notes together and was very prepared. Many of her questions were slanted and biased as Politico but President Trump got his message out and kept his powder dry…bill
Russia was never going to permanently relinquish Crimea. Letting them reclaim it with minimal reaction was one of the few things he did with which I agreed.
22:50 – “Why would I talk to a publication that got 8 million dollars from Obama to keep it afloat……………..”
She wants transparency for her operatives.
Thankful we are no longer funding this war.
The old division between domestic and foreign policy is largely redundant, as both are simply extensions of the DS and are used to mutually support each other in achieving its objectives. Ukraine has been a huge source of kick-back financing for the UniParty and allowed it to effectively sabotage 45’s first Presidency by providing an axis of attack, exploited by Lawfare.
By ending the war the DS takes a serious hit, impacting all its current operations, including the disruption of domestic strategies due to funding interdictions, and removing its ability to generate crises that are designed to derail the Administration’s economic agenda.
It also is crucial in damaging ‘The Narrative’ which is the overall epistemological framework supporting all the DS activities and lends it a credibility that it relentlessly exploits. By showing the real state of Ukraine, post-conflict, that narrative of expertise is weakened, which helps the Administration campaign to address election fraud, climate hysteria and the COVID outbreak and response. The MSM are already suffering a credibility crisis with the exposure of their 4 year auto-pen Degeneracy cover-up and concealing the looting of tax-funded welfare schemes, largely by immigrants, often illegal.
The bottom line is that Team Trump are now using the DS’s greatest strength, it’s integrated, multi-cellular, organisation, against itself, every blow, wherever it lands, is now weakening the whole organisation because it’s aimed at the crucial policy intersections. Take out Iran’s ability to ferment war and Main Street benefits as gas prices stabilise, focus on the Central American backyard and not only are lives saved and the narco-financing of corrupted organisations disrupted but a key node in election interference, Venezuela, is exposed.
I wonder if Dasha will get the Tucker treatment for talking with somebody that doesn’t agree with all of their Marxist ideology?
I used to think that Ukraine was simply a laundromat for American taxpayer money stolen from Washington through the “foreign aid” or “military aid” siphoned to a multitude of corrupt fronts for the corruptocrats in the American gubment. In other words, American money cycled through Ukraine to enrich American actors, mostly politicians. Not so anymore. Those funds are simply fees to Zelinski’s mob for the use of Ukraine’s corruption infrastructure. The majority of money being laundered in Ukraine comes from the narco trafficking run by the CIA. Drug and human trafficking money generated in places like Venezuela, Columbia, Mexico, China, North Korea, Iran. That’s how American Senators and Representatives become multi millionaires. Trump is dismantling the whole infrastructure.
FWIW If anyone has ever seen Dasha Burns on Fox News, she comes across as one of the better/best younger DC journalists that appear regularly on Bret Baier’s Panel at the end of his news hour program. She’s a liberal, but she has thoughtful, interesting things to say. Seems like Dasha has learned early in life to think before you speak.
If she is on FOX she is definitely someone I do not want to hear from.
and a liberal………Will she turn into Juan Williams or Jonah Goldberg or Jessica Tarlov or Alan Colmes or Bob Beckel or numerous CNN panelists who used to be on Fox.
Nope, sorry, attractive, that is about it……..
Put U.S. boots on the ground and I swear I will have elections. 🙂
Will he have mail-in-ballots, no voter ID, ballot drop boxes on the battlefield, internet voting, early voting, all supervised and counted by Georgia election officials 🙂
President Trump now has an excellent way of dealing with the Press. He artfully side-stepped the “leading questions,” declined to reveal any classified information or plans, and above all maintained clear focus.
Also, he was the Gentleman to the Lady. (As she was, throughout, to him.)
This, very likely, is something that “Europe” still doesn’t understand. “Are you going to intervene to install European leaders that you like?” No. Europe has to deal with itself, and I’m telling them that they’re screwing up. I’m interested in America. But, America is nationally interested in Europe, and that they don’t send themselves down the toilet, and so we’re gonna tell them squarely when they’re doing just that. PERFECT!
But – when you say “common sense things” like that, obviously a whole lot of people out there have no experience with “an American President” actually doing that.
How many Presidents can speak of Crimea’s wonderful climate? Or of Venezuela, that he has a resort down there? And, so on.
So, is it any wonder why so very many people look upon Trump as: “a breath of fresh air?” NOPE! He wrote a “National Security Strategy” in 29-or-so easy reading common sense pages. All you have to do is read it – and, not read into it. This might take a little bit of getting used to . . .
6:55,
election was stolen..it’s going to come out over the next couple of months, loud and clear, because we have all the information”
I hope this will actually happen.
trump should read the george kennan quote COKETTO (spelled wrong?) posted the other day about nato expansion , from 1997. we need out.
Part of my vote for the President was to leave Ukraine ASAP and prosecute all the US lawmakers who have used and abused the peopler and country of Ukraine from both sides of the aisle.
Let’s now expand that to NATO and any European country that is on the cultural suicide mission and is wanting the same of us.
While we are at it, don’t forget to support your 2A rights at all costs, it is obvious , as they go we go at this point.
Was a good interview. Interesting that she’s Ukrainian. Gave a different slant to the interview regarding the conflict. I do wish that President Trump would learn to frame the inflation response to more along Sundance’s simple explanation. The base price of a product was changed for example with a lemon. Before Biden $.49 and after Biden $.99. So the rate of increase has gone down but the deflationary price has not happened as of yet. President Trump doesn’t get that part of the explanation. He needs to address that issue to deflect the “affordability” issue the commiedems keep mimicking. They neglect to admit that Biden and the commiedems created the new base price which created the “affordability issue.
Zelensky is leading Trump around by the nose? I didn’t vote for Zelensky to be President of the United States. If Trump doesn’t have the courage to end the $$$, weapons and targeting to Ukraine he shouldn’t have promised to end it on DAY ONE!!!
Another Lefty journalist! How do they get where they are by being so dense??? I notice there were no references to the problems of the Biden administration by her! If someone shows me where my views were so colored and how they got turned around to be positive, I’d consider a different point of view! So sad a Lefty can’t do that!
Flexible Realism and Primacy of Nations are EXCELLENT world views for US policy!!!
Love it.🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️❤️👊👊
I watched the whole interview and that is the BEST and most aggressive interview Trump has ever done. He will win over more and more people with his honesty calling spades spades everywhere in the world. He aced the interviewer time and time again.
We have much more in common with Orthodox Christian Russia & its allies than Nazi-Islamic European Union Globalist Luciferians
Why Trump Seeks a Swift End to the Ukraine War
The new National Security Strategy outlines a realist case for pursuing strategic stability with Russia.
https://www.theamericanconservative.com/why-trump-seeks-a-swift-end-to-the-ukraine-war/
According to a fresh (mind you .. audio) audio statement being circulated,
Zelensky has newly responded by stating “I am ready for elections. I will be in Ukraine tomorrow and expect proposals from our partners and lawmakers on legal changes to allow elections during martial law,” according to a translation.
“Since this issue is being raised by the U.S. president and our European partners, I’ll be brief: I am ready. I ask the U.S., together with Europe, to ensure security for the vote. If that is done, Ukraine can hold elections within 60 days.”
If you are ready, do it tomorrow. You don’t need any ‘security ‘ use your own people who support you if there are any.
