it's a distinction without difference because Trump is still lying. That fact is something that shouldn't be debatable and yet here you are. This is something a child might argue with their mother over so he isn't punished for lying. You're basically making the same argument of a 7 year old.
It was clearly not a serious intent to deceive.
And more importantly, this is not your concern. You oppose the idea of a peace deal, so you whining that he is moving too slowing on the peace deal you oppose, is just shit talk from you.
What you should be doing, if you were a serious person, would be to be making your case for the policy you support, ie a long term proxy war and why that is better than peace.
Putin has lost way more than just a lot of men and yet, he's still making Trump wait 3 hours for a scheduled phone call, like a chump. Although, afterwards, Putin did agree to a 30 day ceasefire on Ukraine's energy infrastructure, which he promptly broke a few hours later by striking Ukraine's energy infrastructure, LOL. Position of weakness, you say? You are the fool here and Putin just proved it in a matter of hours. Putin sends his love and warm wishes to his army of useful idiots
Yes, putin is in a position of weakness. He can't continue to lose men and material the way he has been.
That is the point. Your refusal to address it seriously, is your refusal to be a serious person.
Then why did Dump make the claim that he will not be providing any arms assistance after the mineral deal is settled? Why does he say that Ukraine doesn't need to be included in peace talks? Why would someone interested in peace make such a public statement? How can real peace be achieved by leaving out one of the countries involved? It seems to me that Trump is planning a double cross of Ukraine whereby he eventually leaves Ukraine defenseless and allows Russia to run over them. That's basically what Dump did in his afghanistan pull out deal. He handicapped our ability to fight back, while giving the Taliban everything, and he made this deal behind everyone's back. This is the person you're bending down to kiss their toes.
Wait, so you are claiming that Trump only cares about teh minerals, and wants to sign a deal to get the minerals, and then he plans to stop defending the minerals so that Putin can take them and make teh deal moot?
That... makes no sense.
If you really believed that he only cared about the minerals, you would be expecting him to strongly defend Ukraine once the peace deal was signed, becasue he would be protecting "his" minerals.
Did you even think about the shit you were saying, even for a second?
...
Dump's only mission is to himself. This whole "saving lives" bullshit is just another right wing, maga talking point. You wouldn't believe how often I see this repeated over and over. It's like you people are handed scripts to read and you do it, verbatim.
Normal people don't want to see large numbers of people die for no reason. This is normal and believable.
That is doesn't seem like that to YOU, is something to do with YOU, not Trump, not MAGA.
You hear it a lot, because it a real part of this issue. Indeed, from our prespective, it is the core of this issue.
That's already been happening for 3 years now, what's another day, another month, another year? The difference now is, Putin has an asset in the oval office he can bend to his will.
YOu made the claim that he does what PUtin wants. Putin doesn't want the weapons to continue to flow. They are butchering his men.
You... you really completely forgot the point of what you were saying, and thus when I addressed YOUR point, you didn't even understand what you were talkinga bout, so you sort of wandered off.
This is very common with lefties. You are so much in a bubble, that you don't even know how to have a real discussion.
