"The longtime senator's call comes after Trump has increased his criticism of Russia and Putin, accusing the Russian president of having gone "absolutely" crazy recently despite a strong relationship in the past.

He said "something has happened to him," specifically pointing to the Russian military's attacks on civilian areas in Ukraine amid the ongoing three-year war.

"He is needlessly killing a lot of people, and I'm not just talking about soldiers. Missiles and drones are being shot into Cities in Ukraine, for no reason whatsoever," he said.

Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov reportedly said in response to Trump's comments that Russia is "grateful" to the United States and Trump for their assistance in organizing negotiations to bring an end to the war.

But he said now is a "crucial" moment and warned of an "emotional overload" and "emotional reactions."

So... Vlad basically calls Donnie an emotional little girl... when really the US Pres is just covering his arse with people like Grassley who's vote he needs on the Beastly Bill to Kill Americans.

Vlad hasn't a care in the world.

I suspect that Trump told Putin during their last conversation that he was getting tremendous pressure from senate republicans to help Ukraine and get tough on Russia. As a result, Russia escalated their attacks on Ukraine, hoping to administer the coup de gras. While Russia is trying to deal its death blow, Trump was to up the anti Russian rhetoric, making it appear as if he is tough on Russia when in reality it is just a delay tactic to keep republican senators from turning up the heat.

The only thing that "happened" to Putin is Trumpanzee.

Ironic that Trumpanzee is somehow making Putin a victim of "something happening" to him...

The------------- is more likely to cut off weapons deliveries to Ukraine.

Little Marco indicated yesterday that we are basically through trying to make peace in Ukraine, and that we have bigger wars to prepare for in the 'Indo-Pacific', apparently meaning with China.

Which is, of course, just an excuse for Trump's utter failure to do anything at all about ending the war against Ukraine.

Those sanctions will include:
-No more cheese on a Ritz cracker
-5% markup on money-laundering real estate transactions on all Trump-brand Florida property
-The US Will no longer permit the importation of Russian nesting dolls
-Shostakovich and Prokofiev music now allowed on US classical music stations
-Summer interns from Russia working at Trump hotels will no longer be paid 90% of minimum wage; now it will be 88% of minimum

The US will bring the pain! Russia will be at the negotiating table prontodente...
