Trump threatens to impose 100% tariffs on Russia if no peace deal is reached within 50 days. "I'm disappointed in President Putin. We were close two months ago, but now it's not happening," he said, adding that talks must lead to a deal or secondary tariffs will follow.

He's also gifted Vlad 50 days to think about all the bad things he's done... before Trump applies a Tariff to him! (technically on nations that trade with Russia)

Hopefully the Congress can get Sanctions passed long before that.

I am in awe of Zelinskyy, whose genius people skills made him able to survive Trump's buffoonery to this point.

As a former comedienne viewing Trump... Pres Zelinskyy knows a bad joke when he sees one.

HE'S the one that should get the Nobel when this ends.

Absolutely. If he lives that long.

"Trump's missile announcement provides vital relief to Ukraine " but lack of stricter sanctions against Russia stings

"But the sting for Ukraine comes in what was not announced:

Immediate secondary sanctions against customers of Russian energy, which could significantly empty Moscow's coffers. The scope of sanctions proposed by a bill in the US Senate " potentially 500% on all trade with those who buy Russian hydrocarbons " would have been devastating."

"Fifty days gives Vladimir Putin until September for Trump to change his mind, or for the Russian president's rumored summer offensive to alter the battlefield reality to the point where Putin is happy to seek a freeze in the conflict."

"The deadline also shows Trump has yet to give up on the most elusive figment of his Ukraine policy: that the Kremlin actually wants peace, and has yet to be persuaded adequately into it.

Trump again held out a deadline to push Russia into a deal. We have been here before, and Putin has let the ticking clock whizz past his ear." more

Empty G is doubleplus unimpressed about Lewzer shipping weapons to Ukraine. She's not impressed with Lewzer's Epstein coverup either.

Based on how liberals have handled this war, we now know they want to continue to enable the war machine profits over actually trying to end wars. If liberals actually listened to what they said instead of just saying whatever it is that opposes the other political party, they would actually be objective enough to see this. Liberals praised Biden's sending of military supplies only AFTER Reps started trying to block them...before that, it was just a typical response and neither side really held any strong opinion.

Since Reps fought so strongly against sending aid (and not for the right reason, so don't get me wrong in thinking I'm supporting them), Dems couldn't just think critically and logically and determine the right response. Instead, they just immediately went to whatever the opposite was of Rep support.

Now that we have a long enough trend, it is every easy to logically conclude that liberals want corporations who manufacturer these supplies to continue to do so. Which is odd considering not that long ago and for decades prior, liberals fought against the rich getting richer and especially against how much the US's defense budget is (to spell it out for the DR lib kids, the budget is what includes the buying of military supplies). Yet, now they are all about being the world's supplier of military supplies which just enables the rich and enables the US war machine.

Trump comes along and wants to stop the actual problem, which is the war. Unfortunately, being the idiot he is, he of course did it in the most blowhardest way of any blowharding in history, but that doesn't mean he was wrong. Liberals may not agree but many others do agree that they would rather have the war stop, and in a peaceful manner. So Trump tried that route first, whereas Biden did not even make an attempt (and any effort he did make was squashed because while Trump may be a blowhard, Biden is a submissive who can't be taken seriously by any world leader). Yet, Trump trying to end the war peacefully was met with hate from Dems.

Go ahead and try to argue it all you want that anything I've said above isn't accurate and doesn't follow sound logic based on the empirical evidence publicly available to us all. It doesn't change the logical conclusion. You just have to be objective enough and take off your partisan blinders to actually understand.

You could have said that you abhor liberals and be done with it humtake. Instead you write a tome.

"Go ahead and try to argue it all you want that anything I've said ... "

What would be the point in that?

I prefer to follow the advice of Mark Twain.

"Never argue with an idiot. They will just drag you down to their level and beat you with experience."

Good point.
Liberals haven't said "We should nuke Moscow."
Because liberals don't want to end the war that way.
Liberals simply want Moscow to take their tanks and go home.

So, when do we nuke Moscow?

Trump is sending weapons to Ukraine to get even with Putin for standing in the way of Trump's Nobel Peace prize.

It's not complicated.

Trump never does anything unless there's something in it for him.

Trump is giving Vlad 50 days to finish his Summer War Surge against Ukraine.

So Vlad has 50 days to win the war before Taco Don decides Sanctions aren't worthwhile anyway.

Donald Trump asked Volodymyr Zelenskyy if Ukraine could hit Moscow

Zelenskyy should've asked the------------- if his cop killer MAGAts could hit DC again.

standing in the way of Trump's Nobel Peace prize.

Maybe Lewzer can get the Peace Prize for helping to limit strategic weapons? He's taking money from the budget for the new LGM-35 Sentinel ICBM system to retrofit Bribe Force One.

@#18 ... Maybe Lewzer can get the Peace Prize ...

Pres trump seems to be so concerned about winning the Nobel Peace Prize that he looks to be willing to give Ukraine to Pres Putin.

I mean, even before serious peace negotiations have begun, Pres Trump has made concessions, major concession to Pres Putin.

For example, Ukraine will not be allowed to join NATO. Pres Putin loved this concession because it shows that even if a peace is negotiated, at some point in the future he can invade Ukraine again to attain his goal of taking over all of Ukraine.

There are other examples of res Trump's weakness regarding Ukraine.

Pres Trump has made concessions, major concession to Pres Putin.

Putin has been in politics for 35 years. Lewzer has not.

Putin was deputy chief of the Presidential Staff when Lewzer was walking in on naked teenage girls at his "pageants".

Putin went to law school in 1970. The same year, Lewzer's dad made him president of the family company.

Putin was named First Deputy Prime Minister about the same time Lewzer was bankrupting casinos.

Putin was a major player in the St. Petersburgh government when Lewzer was hanging out with his BFF Epstein.

Putin has effectively been running Russia for 25 Years. Lewzer has been running his mouth.

I wonder who is playing 4-D chess?

@#20 ... I wonder who is playing 4-D chess? ...

In this instance, I'd proffer that Pres Trump is playing checkers, while Pres Putin is playing 4-D chess.

I wish I could form a different opinion, but there it is.

In my opinion the only relationship between Trump and Putin is that they were both playing each other for their own selfish purposes.

If they parted company, it wasn't because Putin changed his goals. His goals are still steadfast.

It was because someone put a bug in Trump's ear about using a Nobel Peace Prize to further his goals (and do a one-up on Obama) thus, retore the military assistance to Ukraine to stop "all those people from getting killed."

The truth is, Trump never gave a second thought to "all those people getting killed." His real objective was to create an image of a peacekeeper (Stop the War) for the benefit of the Nobel Peace Prize Committee.

Trump has a history of changing course whichever way the wind is blowing, so there's no telling when someone else will put another bug in his ear and we'll see another flip-flop from the King of flip floppers.
