I'd rather have a prez who did more than any other world leader to ensure Ukraine had what it needed to defend itself.

The plan is for the US to sell weapons to the Europeans, who will then provide them to Kiev.
However, the US doesn’t have the weapons to sell, the Europeans don’t have the money to buy, and Kiev doesn’t have the soldiers to use them.
Other than that it's a foolproof plan.

Trump whispered to Macron that he believes Putin “wants to make a deal for me,” moments before his multilateral meeting with Europe’s leaders began.

“I think he wants to make a deal. I think he wants to make a deal for me, you understand that? As crazy as it sounds,” Trump quietly told the French president in comments that were captured on a hot mic.

In subsequent remarks to the press, Trump expressed optimism about the prospect of Zelenskyy and Putin meeting at a later date. “And if you’d like, I’ll go to that meeting,” Trump said.

Russian Attacks Kill 14 in Ukraine, Hours Before Zelensky Visits White House​

Hours after President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine arrived in Washington for high-stakes meetings to discuss a possible path to peace with Moscow, Russian attacks on large Ukrainian cities and villages near the front killed 14 people and injured dozens, the local authorities said.

Ukrainian officials pointed to the attacks as a further sign that Russia had no intention of halting hostilities. “That’s why Putin doesn’t want to cease fire,” said Andriy Yermak, Mr. Zelensky’s chief of staff. “He enjoys shelling peaceful cities while talking about his desire to end the war.”

Yes folks, that's the level of naivete we're dealing with. trump thinks he has a friendship with Putin. Putin no doubt thinks Don is a rube to be manipulated. He's not wrong.

How did this Moron get elected? He has the intellect of a seven year old. 'Poootin loves me!'

How did this Moron get elected? He has the intellect of a seven year old. 'Poootin loves me!'

Well, the answer to that question has to do with what America has become.

Not a good sign, is it?

This has always been about us, not him.

He has the intellect of a conman and the emotional maturity of a 6 year old.

The paradox being his presidency is not about us in the least, it's all about him.

 

[berg80]

Surely he could see through the smiles of Putin, European leaders, congressional Republicans.

The European leaders were careful to make sure they complimented him to keep Baby Donald from pouting.

 

[berg80]

Diplomats pointed out that the remarkable spectacle of European leaders ditching their summer holiday plans to rush to Washington was prompted less by a rare opportunity to make peace than by the fear that Mr. Trump might attempt to bully Mr. Zelensky, as he did in a turbulent Oval Office meeting in February. This time, the fear was Mr. Trump would try to force the Ukrainian president into a one-sided, land-for-peace deal with Russia.

 

[Seymour Flops]

I'd rather have a prez who did more than any other world leader to ensure Ukraine had what it needed to defend itself. Dotard, OTOH, flip flopped on supplying arms and intel in an appeasement to Russia.

Not to mention US representatives (Harris and Sullivan) participated in the peace summit in Switzerland. Unfortunately, this was well before Putin had any intention of ending the war. Perhaps he still doesn't.

Biden gave them just enough to prolong the war, as directed by his MIC masters.

It is all about him. He will pester the Norwegian minister and the committee until he gets the prize. The man is a walking EGO.

Well of course Putin would not talk to Biden. He had zero reason to respect Biden, which is why he had no qualms about invading.

Besides, why would he want to play along with the fiction that Biden was actually functioning in the role?

Seymour Flops is a Putin running dog, not to be trusted to care about America's well being.

 

[berg80]

Biden gave them just enough to prolong the war, as directed by his MIC masters.

Biden, in coordination with European allies, gave them essential aid so they could fend off a superior military force. Try not to be disappointed Dotard's buddy didn't prevail.

When the Ukis turned the Russian blitzkrieg only thirty miles from Kiev into a 8 mile long automotive junkyard in four days, I knew then this would be a long war.

... if the Russians give back the land they have taken unjustly.

If that's your minimum, how do you propose to bring that about?

Give me a timeline for the actions you want Trump to take, and how they will result in the return of that land.

No need to explain why your man Biden did not take them.

Putin is the beast in all of this, not Biden in the slightest.

 

[Clipper]

Putin wants to make a deal to please Trump.

Not out of friendship, but out of respecting a leader stronger than himself. Putin needs a face-saving way out, and Trump is highly skilled at giving that to his adversaries. That's how he wins.

Except for when he wins against the left. He gives them no graceful way out, because they are not worthy of even that.

Our side has real men of substance in leadership roles. Your side has women, men pretending to be women and beta males who hire feminists consultants to teach them to act like alpha males.

Did Trump jizz himself when he met Putin, like the good old days?

Btw, Putin has been bombing the shit out of Ukraine since that meet in Alaska. That's how much Putin wants to make a deal with the fake potus.

"He wants to make a deal for me me me!!!"

 

[dblack]

So now we know, for sure, that the Russians didn't try to influence and that mail-in votes cost Trump the election. Putin said.

 

[dblack]

"He wants to make a deal for me me me!!!"

I bet Trump made him a mix tape. And you just know that "YMCA" was on there.
