Trump Says Russia's Concession In Ukraine Talks Is To Not Take 'The Whole Country'
The art of the lopsided deal.

In exchange for Ukraine giving up substantial amounts of its territory to Russia in the ongoing peace talks to end the war there, President Donald Trump thinks Russia should not have to give up much at all.

When a reporter asked him what concessions Russia has offered so far to move the needle closer to peace, Trump said, "Stopping the war. Stopping — taking the whole country."

"Pretty big concession," he added.

Russia has been attempting ― and failing ― to take the whole country since February 2022.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has ruled out ceding territory as part of the talks.

"There is nothing to talk about," Zelenskyy said Tuesday. "It is our land, the land of the Ukrainian people."

Trump has repeatedly failed to fault Russian President Vladimir Putin for the violence in Ukraine after his country invaded, continuing a longand bizarre streak of capitulation.

Instead, Trump has blamed his predecessor President Joe Biden and Zelenskyy.

"The War between Russia and Ukraine is Biden's war, not mine," Trump said earlier this month. "I just got here, and for four years during my term, had no problem in preventing it from happening. President Putin, and everyone else, respected your President!"

As a presidential candidate, Trump repeatedly said that, if he were elected, he'd settle the war in one day.

Neville Chamberlain couldnt have said it any better. 

Our country is being led by the biggest buffoon in modern world history.

"There is nothing to talk about," Zelenskyy said Tuesday. "It is our land, the land of the Ukrainian people."

If Zelensky doesn't want to capitulate. what should the US do?

Isn't the most common-sense solution being for the US to simply walk from this war that Ukraine will never win?

what should the US do?

The U.S. should continue to support a democratic state fighting to keep from being swallowed up by a murderous fascist dictatorship.

CNN did a study and says Trump has mentioned Joe Biden an average of 6 times every day of his second term.  He is a lunatic.

And, how many times did they say that you have mentioned Trump in a single day??

Probably too high to count.

“You said you would end the war in Ukraine on Day One,” the journalists asked after Trump reflected on his role on the world stage his the beginning of his second term.

“Well, I said that figuratively, and I said that as an exaggeration, because to make a point,” Trump replied, adding: “And you know, it gets, of course, by the fake news [unintelligible]. Obviously, people know that when I said that, it was said in jest, but it was also said that it will be ended.”
