Summary

Donald Trump is reportedly frustrated with the ongoing aerial strikes between Russia and Ukraine, despite his efforts to broker peace.

After recent talks with both leaders, Russia claimed a 30-day pause on energy infrastructure strikes, but Ukraine accused Russia of continuing civilian attacks.

Heavy attacks continue, with recent Russian strikes killing four and injuring 13 in Ukraine. Ukraine has also reportedly launched strikes against Russian infrastructure, which Russia claims caused significant damage.

A proposed broader ceasefire faltered over Russian demands to halt foreign military support for Ukraine.

    If only someone had told him that Putin doesn’t negotiate in good faith.

    Oh wait, that’s precisely what Zelensky was trying to fucking say before the idiot of a VP that Trump has started dicking around in front of the cameras.

    Aaaaaaall of this is just misdirection.

    He doesn’t care about Ukraine or Russia, even Greenland or Panama.

    Trump is there to dismantle the American government for his billionaire buddies. That is the job they hired him to do.

    Elon Musk and Peter Thiel very openly subscribed to Curtis Yarvins world view, and he very openly describes how to dismantle government, and now they are doing it.

    That is what the Heritage Foundation and project2025 is all about. You can track their progress here www.project2025.observer

      There’s a high chance Greenland is a part of that. I think one of those billionaires (whichever one founded Praxis) asked Trump to buy Greenland so he can terraform it and set up his country there. There is a source for it somewhere at www.theplotagainstamerica.com

        Afaik big part of the prize is to actually encourage peace. If you’re given the prize for “best potato peeler in the world” you’ll probably peel more potatoes or train people and promote potato peeling in general.

          By that logic, the only behaviour they encouraged was “talking about peace” because that’s all that Obama did to get the prize.

          Politicians will talk about everything and anything without actually meaning it, so that’s about the lowest value behaviour you can think of promoting.

          Surely in that specific year there were more worthy behaviours for the Nobel Comitee to want to encourage than merely “talk about peace”.

    We really need to stop calling it “brokering peace”. Trump just wants Ukraine to give Putin what he wants.

    He’s angry that he can’t claim the win, nothing more or less. Who knew geopolitics could be so difficult? And like a child who can’t comprehend something, he will pivot his attention to something else entirely and pretend this episode never happened.

      He promised something that wasn’t his to give. Then did the absurdly naive and ill-informed decision to attempt to negotiate with Putin by assuming against overwhelming evidence that Putin respects him and that he’d act out of good faith if he approached him in a position of submission and weakness. Now the Russians are taking advantage of it.

      I bet Putin “promised” Trump he’d give him that win and now he’s just using it as a carrot on a stick to lead him along.

    Trump finally starting to realize Putin has no respect for them and their relationship is far more onesided than he ever feared it might be.
