Shocking.

I for one thought Trump really would end the Ukraine on day 1 with a single phone call...

He just needs to sit them down in a room and make a deal. He's good at deals. Right? I read that somewhere.

I doubt Putin finds Trump in any way intimidating.

Putin has no meed to fear Trump; he's murdering Ukrainians not Americans. Were I Putin I would fear Zelensky who has led his military to surprise Russians on many occasions. If Zelensky and his military get a chance I think they will kill that SOB and Ukraine will celebrate his death for 100 years! It's the only possible end to this war because psycho Putin thinks he is on some vrusade to restore Russia as a super power but the war with Ukraine has shown the world that they aren't even close to super power status.
