Trump makes a great point

Trump on Ukraine: “Zelensky wants to make a deal. I don’t know if Putin does. He might not. I think he should make a deal because he’s destroying Russia. Russia is going to be in big trouble, look at their economy, look at Russian inflation.” Maybe somebody can inform Tucker

Seems like Putin and his inner circle should be really worried about the PRC, especially now that he has weakened his military so much.

Trump is far more powerful than Putin right now.

Same point Biden has been making, because he's the one who did that.

@haavardamadeus

Its been obvious for most a while now. Guess Trump had to be turned down by Putin to understand that.

The problem is that Putin doesn’t care about Russia, its economy, or its people.

If the rug gets pulled on the Putinist 5th column...

It’s gonna be face-saving deals all around. With China re: tiktok and Russia re: Ukraine.

Is this a point of just a plain fact to anyone paying attention?

@MartinSwidersky

The problem is Putin does not think in these categories. He doesn't have to worry abt inflation etc as he doesn't have elections. Russians are apathic and despondent - there is no threat to Putin. Those who protested him are mostly either dead, imprisoned or emigrated...

Not sure stating the obvious is making a great point, but I understand that the bar is low.

Once again, as I've noted repeatedly, someone on Trump's team has drilled into him that Russia is teetering, and he can hog all of the credit as the saviour of Europe and be a war hero by doing essentially nothing but continuing to send surplus military equipment to Ukraine.

Putin's next move is going tell a lot.

The point he made was ending war in 24 hours.

Does the Russian economy matter?

Christopher Voß

Setting the bar for Trump really low here.

These are Xi/China talking pts.

Trump hates weaklings. Maybe his respect for Putin will evaporate, if he starts looking like a loser.

No, we shouldn’t call for a deal, only for Russia’s unconditional withdrawal and payment of reparations.

@Halloween_Johan

Russia needs to deal with its aids and poverty crises instead of having fits with Ukraine so it can bring out it's antiquated military equipment that often breaks down during those really cool rallies we all love Russia can be really great one day tho but damn they taking Ls

I thought the war was going to be over by now. Pundits normalized this lying sociopath and the country is going to hell as a consequence.

It's a me, Strelok!

But the bread is so affordable

Trump made this backhanded compliment: "Zelensky is a great saleman" Well, YES! Trump wrote a BOOK on salesmanship. Putin is a lying thug. "The Truth Will Out"

Any deal hS to include the full withdrawal of Russian forces from sovereign Ukrainian territory, including Crimea.

The Trampled Heretic...

Trump is getting fed terribly inaccurate information about pretty much everything. BRICS, Spain, Ukraine and more for sure.

Give Trump credit, he’s a realist at heart

Yes, he did. Putin needs to abandon his maximalist goals in Ukraine because Trump has more leverage than Biden.

Russia now has a wartime economy. A quick end to the war would devastate their economy and there’d be a lot of suddenly unemployed young men who have been trained to use weapons.

@RyChristophers

So Xi is Trump’s new daddy?

Yea no shit, what has been the case for 2 years now. What everyone has been saying

🚵‍♂️

There's still a large part of me that wishes that we'd just get NATO air forces together, and just do a surprise 24 hours of bombing the Russian front and nearby assets/resources into oblivion, but Trump** cant work with other nations, sooo...
