wow these guys are quick. The Ukrainians themselves said that this will be the new play before the fact. How about this: instead of wasting 100âs of millions of dollars on paid posters, zelenskibots, bribing media outlets, you know like spend the money on trying to win the war instead.
Our source in the OP said that Yermak instructed to launch an anti-crisis in telegrams and the media to stop military aid from the United States, the emphasis will be shifted to the decision of officials, not Trump. For Bankova, it is now important to maintain the illusion of US support so that the front does not crumble, and panic within the Armed Forces of Ukraine stops.
The telephone conversation between Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump has ended. The details of the conversation were first given by the presidential aide Yuri Ushakov. Main points:
Key statements from Ushakov regarding the conversation between Putin and Trump:
Putin informed Trump that Russia continues to seek a negotiated solution to the Ukrainian conflict.
The Russian leader told the US president that Moscow will not abandon eliminating all the root causes of the confrontation.
During the conversation with Putin, Trump raised the issue of a swift end to military actions in Ukraine.
Putin and Trump touched upon the topic of developments in Syria during the conversation; Moscow and Washington will continue dialogue on this topic.
The presidents discussed a number of promising joint economic projects in energy and space exploration; they did not discuss a personal meeting.
Putin congratulated Trump on the upcoming US Independence Day, noting that Russia played a significant role in the establishment of American statehood.
The Presidents of Russia and the United States will continue to communicate with each other and can pick up the phone at any time of the day if a conversation is needed.
I dont see why everyone views the Green Goblin as some deity. He has lead his country to a total collapse. If he is allowed, he will keep the fight going until the entire Ukrainian male population is dead or maimed. He is a maniacal dictator with short man disease.
Of course you didnt make any progress. For someone who supposedly isnât an agent of the Kremlin, youâve already given Putin everything he would have asked for, without him having to give up anything at all.
For the art of the deal hype, Donald doesnât know jack shit about leverage.
This is the sign of a weak person and weak negotiator, he only knows how to bully those weaker - he has no ability to stand up to the strong and to real threats - capability that a Churchill, Roosevelt, etc had since they had backbone, principles, and a belief in something greater than their own self interest or self-glorification.
Donald has the opposite - hence why he doesnt want the work of standing up to Putin - he wants the glory of the fastest easiest win by abusing the weaker player since he doesnât care about them or whatâs right, only getting a win out of stopping the war regardless of right or wrong.
This of course assumes heâs just a self interested sociopath rather than actually being tovarisch Krasnov.
This is spot on. I donât think Trump is a Russian asset - I think he acts like one because heâs a self-centered, living-in-the-moment clinical narcissist.
Every day Iâm baffled by those supporters of his that respect him as a person and donât just see him as the lesser bad alternative.
I respect some things about trump. The guy just wonât give up, thatâs not really the sign of a bully. The dems were using a corrupt justice system to jail him on over 20 felonies, they were going to take his money, he was almost assassinated twice, one time was very close. Think about how easy his life would have been if he didnât run for president. Thatâs evidence to me that he does actually care about the US and not just enriching himself.
You had to see it play out domestically.
What you describe is equally explainable by a chronic, desperate need for attention by a self-centered clinical narcissist. And to me, a much more reasonable explanation looking at his overall behavior. I see a lot of wishful thinking from his supporters.
Iâm not saying the guy doesnât love the US. I think he does. But I think itâs a case of Louis XIV - âAmerica, thats meâ.
âA leading House Democrat, Adam Smith of Washington, said it was disingenuous of the Pentagon to use military readiness to justify halting aid when the real reason appears to be simply to pursue an agenda of cutting off American aid to Ukraine.
âWe are not at any lower point, stockpile-wise, than weâve been in the 3Âœ years of the Ukraine conflict,â Smith, the ranking member of the House Armed Services Committee, told NBC News.â
