Putin Clowns Trump Again

Over three years after Russia invaded Ukraine, the countries are finally meeting for direct peace talks in Istanbul. Vladimir Putin will be not be attending.

Trump has threatened Putin with additional sanctions on 4 separate occasions while doing nothing. Meanwhile, Putin refuses to sign a cease-fire or even show up for peace negotiations. Xi laughs at Trump's weakness on trade, Putin laughs at Trump weakness in diplomacy.

Pres Trump has already given Pres Putin most of what he wanted, and that was before negotiations even began.

So now, Pres Putin looks to be exploiting Pres Trump's negotiating weakness to gain even more.

Putin has read Trump's excruciating neediness and is playing him like Jascha Heifetz worked his 1731 Stradivari violin.

If Trump were smart and clearly understood the situation he would send Ukraine more weapons and tell Putin that the shipments will stop when the ceasefire takes effect ...

The butcher who invaded Ukraine is viewed more favorably than the demented orange pedo. Ouch!

Trump is a buffoon, and the world knows it.

The only people who support Trump are the poorly educated.

You can read their posts on the DR.

They're morons.

Pres Trump wants to win the Nobel Peace Prize, he has wanted that since his first term.

He seems to think that a transactional peace obtained by effectively ceding Ukraine to Russia will get him that Peace Prize.

It might.

Obama got one for no clear reason.

This is the problem with campaigns and people basing their opinions on what someone says during a campaign and not what they have actually gotten accomplished in their career. For example:

"Trump ran on a platform that he would he end the war in Ukraine quickly (in 24 hours), arguing that he was the only one with the gravitas and strength to handle the Russian leader."

Biden ran a campaign saying he could fix the covid situation in a month. Yet, it took him almost a year to get it to a manageable point.

Campaigns are useless considering 90% of the people already know who they are going to vote for just based off of party ideology. Anyone who believes anything a candidate says they are going to do immediately is just a sheep. The candidates started getting smart to this and started using EOs to try to make their quick promises, but now voters are fed up with that and being predictably hypocritical and loving EOs when it is their party doing them but demonizing them when it is the other party doing them.

In other words, being surprised by a candidate not meeting exaggerated campaign commitments is a you problem.
