Donald Trump has said that he and Vladimir Putin have agreed to begin negotiations to broker a ceasefire in Ukraine, as the secretary of defence, Pete Hegseth, said that Ukraine would have to cede territory and reject Nato membership in order to reach a deal.
The rapid entry into negotiations with Russia and open demands that Ukraine concede land will have set alarm bells ringing in Kyiv and among its European allies that the Trump administration will offer minimal resistance to Putin’s demands in order to cut a deal as quickly as possible.
In a social media post, Trump said that held a “lengthy and highly productive phone call” with Putin and that they agreed to “have our respective teams start negotiations immediately”.
wow so exactly what putin wants. what a fucking moron.
“If one side will just bow their head and give in to all the other sides demands we’ll surely reach a deal!” fucking dipshits. art of the deal my ass.
And give up half a trillion in ‘rare earths’. That’ll be a hard no, and Trump wants to end NATO anyway. What horseshit.
I wonder how much of that territory trump negotiated for himself. And do you think he consulted Zelensky? Cause I’m pretty sure that guy said the peace talks will only start at returning territory and self determination.
Here’s to hoping everyone else continues to arm Ukraine, it has been the single best investment into the fight against Russian tyranny in our lifetimes. And as a side benefit, it seems to be militarily weakening North Korea too.
FTFY. Stop pretending Trump doesn’t know what he’s doing. He knows what he’s doing, and he’s doing it on purpose.
