Zelenskyy has already “prolonged the war” by fighting back. And now Trump wants to give Russia what it failed to gain by its war of aggression.
Is there any doubt who owns and controls Trump?
I wonder why Ukraine doesn’t want to reward Russia for invading their country.
Trump is hindering peace deal by his constant increasing of demands and changing goal posts.
Trump is hindering peace deal by not forcing russia to retreat and accept peace.
Trump is hindering peace deal by refusing to attend peace summit.Meanwhile, this dumbass is angry because he can’t easily steal the land of other sovereign nations…
Let’s call it as it is: He’s helping Putin. He’s mad on behalf of Putin.
The man is a bully and a liar so I usually don’t pay that much attention to what ever raving he’s on about.
Trump is saying he still hasn’t walked away? It’s been nearly 6 months since election day, and Trump still hasn’t solved this. What a loser. Half a year of Trump failing.
Small energy man playing golf like a loser.
It was stupid Republicans who wouldn’t send enough aid to Ukraine to outright beat Russia years ago.
wanna bet putin has been funding them not to at the time
Dear Mr Felon, this isn’t a game and you also don’t have any cards. Have you say thank you to your partner Putin?
As Moscow prepares for possible negotiations with Washington aimed at ending its full-scale invasion of Ukraine, it is seeking a far more ambitious outcome than a mere ceasefire: a global reordering of spheres of influence.
In the Kremlin’s view, such an agreement would effectively mean U.S. recognition of Russian dominance in the post-Soviet space — including Ukraine — and, to some extent, an acknowledgment of its influence in Europe.
To secure that goal, the Kremlin is now scouring for incentives it believes can catch and hold President Donald Trump’s attention, ranging from rare earths deals and geopolitical leverage in Iran and North Korea to a long-dreamed-of Trump Tower in Moscow.
Five current Russian government officials, including two diplomats, three sources close to the Kremlin and employees of three major state-owned companies confirmed this to The Moscow Times, all speaking on condition of anonymity due to the sensitivity of the matter.
“The main thing is that they [the Americans] don’t interfere in our affairs and don’t tell us how to live,” said a senior Russian official familiar with the Kremlin’s negotiating logic. “That they don’t hinder us in doing what we are doing.”
Under Trump in 2018…
"Russia, through its 2014 invasion of Ukraine and its attempted annexation of Crimea, sought to undermine a bedrock international principle shared by democratic states: that no country can change the borders of another by force. The states of the world, including Russia, agreed to this principle in the United Nations Charter, pledging to refrain from the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any state. This fundamental principle — which was reaffirmed in the Helsinki Final Act — constitutes one of the foundations upon which our shared security and safety rests.
As we did in the Welles Declaration in 1940, the United States reaffirms as policy its refusal to recognize the Kremlin’s claims of sovereignty over territory seized by force in contravention of international law. In concert with allies, partners, and the international community, the United States rejects Russia’s attempted annexation of Crimea and pledges to maintain this policy until Ukraine’s territorial integrity is restored.
The United States calls on Russia to respect the principles to which it has long claimed to adhere and to end its occupation of Crimea. As democratic states seek to build a free, just, and prosperous world, we must uphold our commitment to the international principle of sovereign equality and respect the territorial integrity of other states. Through its actions, Russia has acted in a manner unworthy of a great nation and has chosen to isolate itself from the international community.
Michael R. Pompeo, Secretary of State
Washington, DC

After Trump’s victory in the 2024 election, he declared that Mike Pompeo and Nikki Haley would not be appointed to positions in his next administration. According to The Wall Street Journal, Tucker Carlson and Donald Trump Jr. played a key role in blocking Pompeo’s return; Carlson argued that Pompeo was a “warmonger”. On January 22, 2025, President Trump revoked Pompeo’s security detail.
Note, for context on the revocation of the security detail:
In August 2022 it emerged that Pompeo was the target of an assassination plot by Iran.
That is, I don’t think that Pompeo has much pull anymore.
Imagine that
All of these efforts to bring peace to Ukraine sadly reminds me of the US’s retreat from Afghanistan.
