Barbashin says Russia’s leaders expect Trump to issue ultimatums to both Kyiv and Moscow: if Volodymyr Zelensky balks at peace terms, the US will sever all military aid; if Putin drags his feet, the US will up the military ante and carpet-bomb the Russian economy.
I do not believe for one second that Trump will issue any ultimatums to Putin. Even if he does, there’s zero chance he would follow through on any threats to Russia.
I feel like we have a better chance of Trump giving Russia military aid than of seeing Trump making any demands of Putin, let alone “carpet-bombing” their economy. Does this author forget that Putin is the Dad Trump wishes he had, and he would do anything to have Putin feign respect for him.
Putin will give a Trump a list of demands. The demands are likely exclude complete dealbreakers such as surrendering Zaporizhzhia and Kherson (I am from Ukraine, this doesn’t seem viable).
Trump will go with putin’s demand; his plan will be to come back to the US public and say “I stopped the war” even though he essentially submitted to putin.

Hell… He’ll probably start sending money, weapons and troops openly to Russia.

It’s a right-wing source peddling right-wing fantasies. Ukraine probably lost the war on November 5th.

Someone just needs to socially engineer Trump into standing up to Putin to gain his respect.
With any luck, Putin will replace all of Donny’s drawers with Novichok of the Loom for the gesture. Win-win
It wouldn’t be out of character for Trump to fuck over a friend/ally of he thinks it would get him an advantage in something he wants
Thats true, but the only thing Trump wants from Putin is to finally hear someone say that Daddy is proud of him.
