After a period when President Trump seemed to be more inclined to the Ukrainian side, he now seems to be taking the side of Russia again. On board his plane the Air Force One he told reporters that Ukraine and Russia should stop fighting and that he wants to leave the situation in the largely Russia-occupied Donbas as he is.
And the British newspaper the Financial Times (FT) writes that the meeting between Trump and Zelensky at the White House went dramatically Friday. Trump is said to have urged Zelensky to accept the Russian conditions for ending the war and to give up the Donbas to Russia.
Based on sources, the newspaper reports that Trump warned that Russian President Putin will "destroy" Ukraine if the country does not cooperate.
Turn of Trump
A little over a month ago, Trump said Ukraine could win the war with the support of the European Union. Then he was remarkably positive about that. In a post on Truth Social, he stated that the country, with the help of the EU and NATO, can take back all territories occupied by Russia.
It seems that last Thursday's phone conversation with Putin has changed his mind.
According to the FT and The Washington Post, the Russian president has made a new proposal whereby Ukraine will give up the Donetsk and Luhansk regions in exchange for small parts of Cherson and Zaporizha. Exactly that exchange would have been introduced to Zelensky on Friday.
Two sources told Reuters that they had the impression that Trump was influenced by Putin. Trump and Putin have agreed to meet in Budapest in a few weeks.
Screaming
Zelensky came to Washington on Friday in the hope of getting more weapons from the U.S., but according to insiders, the meeting degenerated into a screaming party, with Trump constantly cursing.
That this was not an incident turned out last night on board the Air Force One. Trump said the Donbas region - in southeastern Ukraine - should be divided "in the way that it is now." "Negotiation is possible later," he said. "Go home, stop fighting and stop killing people."
The Donbas consists of the regions of Luhansk and Donetsk. Luhansk is almost entirely occupied by Russia, Donetsk about three quarters.
What Trump is asking of Ukraine:
Pete Hegseth's tie during this meeting:
Because Putin has irrefutable evidence of Trump fucking kids, committing treason, or something else he doesn't want MAGA to see.
The treason has been out in the open for a while now. MAGAts don't care.
Or maybe he told Trump he wouldn't be his friend unless Trump sold out Ukraine.
There's a reasonable chance that Trump sucks up to Putin not because of kompromat, but because he admires Putin and wants to be his pal.
Likely Putin has tapes made on the Epstein island.
It literally would not matter. Trump could go to each of his followers' homes, fuck their wife and shoot their dog and they would thank Trump for the privilege
Given what we learned and his responses, I think he was partner with Epstein creating kompromats for Russians.
Mossad is Russian? TIL!
Maxwell's father had quite Russia connections.
He did. But he was buried on (in?) Olive Mount.
Not sure where you are getting where he was buried, sounds line made up, but it doesn't affect who he, Maxwell and trump worked with.
...Sounds made up? Sounds made up?!?
You mean to tell me you're here lecturing me about Robert Maxwell's connections, while not knowing that he was, and I'm gonna directly quote Wikipedia here: "...afforded a lavish funeral in Israel, attended by Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir, Israeli President Chaim Herzog, at least six serving and former heads of Israeli intelligence[68] and many dignitaries and politicians, both government and opposition, and was buried on the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem.[69][70] Herzog delivered the eulogy, and the Kaddish was recited by his friend and longtime attorney Samuel Pisar.[71]"?
Goddamn, I even gave you the proper name of the cemetery. You'd think you'd at least google "Robert Maxwell Olive Mount", but no, "sounds made up". Jesus fucking Christ, you people...
My bad I thought you were talking about Epstein.
MAGA already knows those things and they don't care
I think you underestimate the bubble many of these people have built for themselves to insulate themselves from inconvenient truths.
Considering Trump is clearly doing everything he possibly can to allow the release of the Epstein files, I would wager Putin has lots of evidence of him molesting and raping kids.
Or maybe it's something else, like Putin pretending to get into a snit and saying "No iron fist in a rubber glove for you, Donnie, you're not my friend anymore."
Leverage points don't all have to be coercive. Maybe there's kompromat, maybe there's been some weird kind of transference and Trump's in love with his handler. Maybe he's an aspiring dictator so he sucks up to other dictators. Or he's so feeble-minded that he's easily swayed by anyone who knows how to push his buttons.
It's not about MAGA, they would follow him into a volcano pit. It's about him, his own self-image, his pride.
You can say everything is a deep fake at this point so pictures won't even do. We are so fucked, brave new world.
