Trump: Why would Ukraine do this?
Trump finding out he has few cards on the table
Trump has played one side of Kelogg’s plan, cut off aid to Ukraine if they dont move toward peace. Now lets see if he follows though with the other side of it and dramatically ramp up aid to Ukraine if Russia dont move towards peace.
I hope he does but I’m not holding my breath.
I thought Trump was gonna end this war right away 🤨
Zelensky didn’t say thank you, didn’t you hear?
24 hours. But he was talking about 24hours from the perspective of Pluto, our cherished 9th planet.
What was even the point of putting pressure on Ukraine? They have always been cooperating. Russia’s the one whose word is mud.
Putin had told Trump that he wants peace and Ukraine does not. Putin and Trump are friends, so Trump knew that what Putin is saying must be true.
And now he’s shocked to find out that Putin actually is able to lie. (As he always does, but Trump’s understanding is Trump’s understanding…)
We’ll see how Trump will explain this as Zelenskyj’s fault anyway…
From the CBS article on this:
“If Putin decides not to support the push for a temporary ceasefire, it will dramatically alter the optics of the war and position Russia as the main obstacle to peace,” Peter Dickinson from the Atlantic Council’s UkraineAlert service, said in analysis Tuesday.
Who out there thinks anyone but Russia is the ‘main obstacle to peace’? I don’t even think that Russian bots believe they’re not the aggressor. What the fuck happened to rationality or even common sense?

Of course, he isn’t likely - he loved it, when it was uncertainty and confusion for Ukraine, because what he wants out of a deal is a way to position Russia to eventually still eliminate an independent Ukraine altogether. Now that it’s flip-flopping again, and the uncertainty produced by the administration in the US isn’t completely in his favour any more, there’s no reason for them to entertain it at all.
