Every move Trump makes is on Russia’s behalf. The set up with bullies JD Vance & himself was a fake excuse to cut off military intelligence & aide to Ukraine which greatly benefitted Russia. The “negotiation” was no negotiation. Russia will not negotiate. And who would believe them anyway? They broke every agreement in the past. (Budapest Memorandum 1994).

There will be no peace deal. Zelenskyy knows this is a scam. Europe is banning together to defend their own territories. They will help Ukraine win this war and squash Putin out thus liberating Russia as well. Vietnam won because of the passion of their people. U.S. military was never strong enough to fight that passion.

Help me out here - under Article III, section 3 of the Constitution - “or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort.” Isn’t that exactly what Trump and Vance are doing?

The Republicans are so weak and greedy. Hence, their weak and greedy leader on the world stage.

Yes - Trump is almost universally derided outside of America.

I say ‘almost’ as he’s well regarded in Russia, the Chinese don’t mind him and even Iran/North Korea are happy to see him trashing the constitution.

Time for the silent majority to take affirmative action to boot him and his henchmen out 🙏🏻🙏🏻

I feel like the Supreme Court has weakened the true meaning of the constitution.

I remember being in the US during the hearings to appoint TC to SCOTUS. I couldn’t believe he got elected.

Watching the latest batch get through the hearings felt a little similar.

So much for an impartial senior court 🤦🏻‍♂️

Trump uses the Russian definition of "cease fire," which, roughly translated, means "give your weapons to your invader."

He will fold like a house of cards to his boss Putin. He can’t even utter a complete sentence, let alone “ negotiate “ peace talks! He will do WHATEVER Putin wants him to do! Count on it

Peace talks are just a waste of time with Trump and Putin. All Trump wants is money and land. All his friend Putin wants is to own the earth.

Michael Cohen:

Who is this Steve Witkoff guy? After many years downtown, I get the stuffed-shirt, no-balls, dim-bulb, Iona business undergrad vibe, but how is he now Trump's "lead guy" in the negotations between (1) Israel-Gaza, U.S.-Ukraine (why are we negotiating against Ukraine, again?)-Russia, (2) U.S.-Iran, and (3) is now dispatched to his second completely private meeting with Putin. Forget Marco, who is this guy? What's Trump's angle?

Furthermore, the Moscow Russians still live with that "WWII" mentality, and enough still support Putin and the others support out of threat. No wonder there was a revolution, the Czar was a mother fucker.

I understand we are supposed to stop buying from Amazon but there are fantastic bumper stickers supporting Ukraine for under five dollars. In previous years upper stickers do get the support out. I’m also considering a Canadian Flag. I still have family there and most of the major parts in my car are made in Canada .

Michael, I'd love to hear what you think of my analysis of Russian Foreign Policy as it relates to Trump… https://open.substack.com/pub/morewretchthansage/p/putins-world-policy-exploit-division?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android&r=1oiue6

Anyone paying attention to Putin's behaviors knows gains are his goal. He loves, loves (like DT) power. They both know that with power, the money and adulation are a given. Michael, you know DT best. I believe he wants to be a king. An authoritarian who will continue gaslighting his base into believing only he can solve their concerns. I wish the voter turnout matched current greivances. Hopefully with people like you, telling the truth and providing facts, Americans who didn't vote will WAKE UP and DO SOMETHING to make sure DT does not get to serve another term, or dismantle Democracy.
