Trump: Russia Not Taking Over Ukraine is a Concession

Thursday, April 24, 2025

President Trump said Thursday that Russia would be making a concession toward peace if it agrees not to take over Ukraine, as the U.S. president has struggled to negotiate even a limited ceasefire deal between Moscow and Kyiv.

Speaking to reporters in the Oval Office during a meeting with Norway's prime minister, Trump was asked what concessions Russia has "offered up thus far to get to the point where you're closer to peace."

"Stopping the war, stopping from taking the whole country, pretty big concession," Trump responded.

Say... isn't that what the rapist told the cops?

"I didn't kill, her so it's OK!".

And there it is. Trump comes out in favor of codifying Russia's illegal annexation of Crimea and blames Zelenskyy for Putin's aggression.[image or embed]" Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com) April 23, 2025 at 9:04 AM

"I have nothing to do with Russia..."

"Except those decades they bailed me out when no banks would finance me because I suck... or all those properties I still sell to Russian Oligarchs to launder their dirty money."

... agrees not to take over Ukraine ...

Didn't Pres Putin once in the past agree not to take over Ukraine if Ukraine gave up nuclear weapons?

At least Chamberlain sold the flesh of others for temporary peace because the UK was too weak to take on Hitler at the time.

There is no doubt that the US and its allies could defeat Russia. Only thing lacking is US political will, because Trump loves being Putin's Bitch.

I don't believe it was Putin. 1994 was the nuke deal under Yeltsin, and in 1999 Putin was "appointed his first term".

Apparently protecting a democratic nation's sovereignty from fascist dictatorship is "no reason" according to the self-declared "Bernie Bro" who is definitely not a paid Russian troll.

Hard to imagine anyone paying him.... even in rubles.

OneIronNut is a fascist POS who sees a democratic country fighting for its freedom against a bigoted invader as senseless. And then he has the gall to accuse others of being bigots. What a turd

Ukraine was wearing that short skirt, and Vlad is too manly a man not to rape her and kill her children and family.

So, obviously Ukraine's Fault(tm).
