Trump’s misreading of Russia has cost Ukraine. Now Putin is making his intentions clearer than ever

[Grokmaster]

Trump's way of trying to end it was to say to Putin, you want 'X', I counter and offer you X+More.

Since Trump has got in Putins actions and moves and his demands only grow bigger.

He is mocking Trump while showing the world he is a weak puppet. He knows when he is across the table from weakness.

Never would have happened if Trump were POTUS; it was Biden who gave Putin permission to attack Ukraine: (after not doing shit when he invaded Crimea)

Call it a valiant, optimistic, perhaps even a calamitous misreading.

US President Donald Trump’s belief he could somehow, through force of personality, convince his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin, that he wanted a peace deal was, at best, overly generous to himself and the Kremlin head.

It was fed by the strategic hot take that Moscow is an ally-in-waiting for the United States against China, rather than – increasingly – an energy-producing vassal to Beijing.

And while this misinterpretation of the situation has cost Ukraine dearly – in terms of the public shakiness of its American support, and by providing a window in which Russia’s forces could coldly plough forward on the front lines – valuable and obvious lessons have been learned, again, by Washington.

As we see now clearly it would have been much worse if Trump was POTUS just as Netanyahu is making a mockery of Trump by attacking other countries right in the middle of Trump lead peace talks.

They are laughing at Trump and giving his efforts the finger as both Putin and Netanyahu escalate on his watch.

More horseshit; Putin admitted that there would have been no invasion is Trump were POTUS.

Putin invaded Crimea when Obama was POTUS, Ukraine when Biden was POTUS.

Stop lying.

oh wow. Really?

The person manipulating Trump and making a fool of him time and again while playing to Trumps ego, ignoring what Trump demands he do, and then giving Trump the middle finger and escalating is telling Trump he is so amazing there would have been no war if he was in power.

Wow. Well we should all be sold as a KGB agent would never manipulate an idiot.

Trump went to Russian Alaska to meet with Putin stating his red line, 'Putin would sign a ceasefire or there would be consequences'. Trump took one look in to Putins eyes, fell back in love and came back saying 'a ceasefire was not the priority' and Putin instantly ramped up attacks.

Trump is a complete joke.

 

[ULTRA MAGA]

Fuck Ukraine. If we hadn't funded them there would be almost a million humans still alive.

And we could use the money at home.

What a shit show.
