I'd love to be able to listen in on what Putin tells trump to do.

[berg80]

U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin are set to join a call Tuesday to discuss a 30-day ceasefire proposal to pause the war in Ukraine.

Russia is expected to lay out its own conditions for a break in the fighting, which could include all weapons shipments to Ukraine being halted, according to unnamed sources cited by Bloomberg.

Trump has signaled that the U.S. could be willing to compromise with Russia too.

“We will be talking about land. We will be talking about power plants,” Trump told reporters Sunday, when asked about concessions to Moscow in negotiations to end the more than three-year war in Ukraine.

A more accurate assessment might be, "I'll be listening to Vlad tell me what kinds of ludicrous conditions he'd like in order to stop committing war crimes. Did you know he is a strong and powerful leader? He and I have been through a lot together."

"Let me tell you, Putin went through a hell of a lot with me. He went through a phony witch hunt."

What they said: Trump, Zelenskyy and Vance's heated argument in the Oval Office

President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance had a heated exchange with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in the Oval Office over the war in Ukraine, accusing him of not showing gratitude after he challenged Vance on the question of diplomacy with Russia’s Vladimir Putin.

Trump is desperate for a Nobel Prize
He loves to win prizes and brag about it.


He sees negotiating a peace between Russia and Ukraine as his ticket to a Nobel.
He doesn’t care about the terms, as long as he gets peace.

Putin knows this and is willing to wait him out

I'm sure you would. It isn't easy to twist information when you get it secondhand. But cheer up; your betters will give you talking points soon enough.

The Peace President has already done far more to earn the Nobel Peace Prize than the other president who made a mockery of it by winning one for doing nothing, then proceeded to violate the very premise of the award.

He has a long way to go

Demanding that someone submit to a bully to achieve peace is not a solution

How did we win WWII? By destroying the enemy to the point they had no choice but to totally surrender. Nice talk usually doesn't end a war, but in TRUMP!'s case, he may pull it off, he is very good at it.

Now, after TRUMP! brokers the end of the war, are you really going to come out here and complain while families are reunited with their dads and brothers who survived or are you suddenly going to pretend you supported the end of the conflict all along?

Good example

If Trump was President during WWII, he would have negotiated peace with Hitler after he conquered France and had taken most of the USSR

Trump lacks the values to stand up for the oppressed

 

[BluesLegend]

More proof NOTHING Trump does will please Democrats, not even trying to end a war. I think Democrats have shown Americans just who they truly are, scumbags.

 

[BluesLegend]

I will remind the defeated, humiliated Democrats Trump ran on ending the war and voters overwhelmingly voted in favor of that! Respect democracy Dems, you remember harping about democracy for the past 4 years right.

OUCH that's ^^^ going to leave a mark.

Woulda coulda shoulda. Since we're playing pretend now, the winner of the Nobel would have accepted the Peace Prize and immediately ordered the carpet bombing of Dresden. See how that works?

Back in the real world, we note the absence of effort from Quid Pro Joe to end the conflict. Only the Peace President has undertaken the heavy lifting to get it done.

My wife keeps saying the same thing. I think that ship has sailed, especially after the meeting in the Oval with Zelenskyy and Don's attack dog JD.

President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia agreed on Tuesday during a phone call with President Trump to halt strikes on Ukrainian energy infrastructure, the Kremlin said in a statement, but restated his concerns about a broader 30-day cease-fire that the United States and Ukraine had agreed upon and proposed to Russia.

The result seemed to fall short of what Mr. Trump had been hoping for in his outreach to Moscow, after several days of optimistic-sounding pronouncements from the White House that peace was within reach.

During the call, Mr. Putin said his “key condition” to end the conflict and prevent it from escalating was a “complete cessation” of foreign military and intelligence assistance to Kyiv, the Kremlin said.

I have no desire to hear the official call between Putin and Trump. These are scripted, recorded, and have multiple people on the line.

I'd rather listen in on the burner phone that Putin gave to Trump for receiving private orders.

I can see our President jumping on any conditions Putin says and then bullying Zelensky to accept.

OK, now where is my Nobel Peace Prize?
