I kinda think it’s a game. Putin told trump to say it so they can act like they’re not in bed together
This is my 2 cents on it as well.
Considering how all of MAGA played 2020 ( they downright knew the facade the whole time) There’s not a doubt Trump knew what was going on. He may play a dumb American but there’s just no way trump just realized this. He’s known it all along just like 2020.
He’s not a complete idiot, but he has very little knowledge, which in many situations is almost the same thing. However, I wouldn’t underestimate his daddy issues. Even a highly intelligent person (which he definitely is not) can fall to inner biases, and I wouldn’t put it past dictators to fit neatly into the hole in his heart from never receiving papa’s love.
It is just time to play both sides and make it out like DT is reasonable. He has done nothing to reign in Russia and I highly doubt he would do anything but a symbolic gesture.
This is just a White House propaganda piece. Make people doubt his allegiance to Russia. A big waste of our time, but that appears to be the point.
Propaganda is useful. It might be wrong, but there is a specific reason they’re saying it.
They were even spared from the “universal” tariffs lmao
So when Putin says “I love you” after Trump sucks his dick, he’s lying?
It’s hard to tell when, instead of kissing him on the lips, he throws a towel at his face
Let’s see if Trump reverts to his old position again in a couple of days.
I don’t trust anything Trump says, he also said to multiple major European leaders, that he would sanction Russia if they didn’t agree to a ceasefire.
A week has gone by, and as usual Trump has done nothing to help Ukraine.Trump will never directly help Ukraine. He simply won’t. Best he’ll do is stop helping Putin. Even that’s a far off “if”.
depends on how scared of putin, trump is from time to time. many times trumps was ghostly white after “talking” to putin, when something goes bad for putin.
“There are no longer any range restrictions on weapons delivered to Ukraine – neither by the British, nor by the French, nor by us, nor by the Americans,”
Notice how Trump isn’t mentioned at all in this.
Nice work finding that. Cheers
I dug a bit deeper still after the above comment, and my additional findings ostensibly seem to contradict your sentiments, but actually lend credence to them.
Quoting myself (roughly) -
It looks like they ran out of ATACMS in March and the U.S. has been sending the significantly less effective GLSDB as a replacement.
Seems like those articles just highlight how much of a test bed Ukraine is for weapons manufacturers more than anything to do with policy. But i could be misreading it, it’s early for me.
He will forget by tomorrow.
I admire the take that Trump is able to realize stuff.
But I’m not very hopefull
It’s like doing a mirror test on a wild animal
He’ll forget in day and believe Putin again
The best case scenario is that Trump really was such a moron as to believe Putin wanted peace and now feels betrayed and does a 180 on Ukraine policy. Much more likely he will stay the course on screwing Ukraine.
I think it’s less of “Putin wanted peace”, but that “Putin is amenable to peace if he gets everything he wants”, which might have even been true before the Russian economy got so wrecked that stopping the war would crash it.
Trump, Putin, and Netanyahu are all psychopaths: Psychology Today: Psychopathy is a condition characterized by the absence of empathy and the blunting of other affective states. Callousness, detachment, and a lack of empathy enable psychopaths to be highly manipulative. Nevertheless, psychopathy is among the most difficult disorders to spot.
Trump is such a fucking gullible, demented moron. The only people dumber than him are the people that voted for him.
What? Noooo…
French President Emmanuel Macron believes US President Donald Trump has finally realised that Russian leader Vladimir Putin has been deceiving him.
Oh my no… The cognitive dissonance will take over. Trump will be back to blaming Ukraine and talking about how wonderful Putin is again in short order
Yeah, but Zelenskyy didn’t wear a suit or thank trump himself publicly for the hundredth time, so I’m sure trump is still team Putin.
Macron hasn’t realised Trump is lying to him
Is he talking about the actual US President Donald Trump?
I don’t think he has the mental capacity to realize anything
this is strategic. By appealing to his ego, he can tell trump that putin has been lying, while calling trump smart for realizing it instead of calling him gullible for not realizing it.
Ah, and he won’t be able to realize that either.
But I have a feeling when more countries with well respected leaders say the same thing, and state the same thing to appeal to his ego, it will further cement the idea in Trump’s mind, that Putin “cheated him”.
I don’t have high expectations, but let’s see how it plays out.
But to be clear, if something else were to remove Trump from being the problem I wouldn’t oppose that either.
US recon planes are again flying over the black sea.
