Is NBC ever going to release that full interview?
Putin’s a bastard, and I think he wants as much of Ukraine as he can get and doesn’t care who gets killed.
The Russians produce enough gold to buy all the machine tools they can’t produce themselves.
If the Russians can’t sell oil, then Russian children won’t be able to get Chinese-made toys for Christmas. It would only be a matter of time before a Russian Grinch is created that looks like Trump.
There we go.
I support Trump. Period.
Always better to be pissed off than pissed on.
Why don’t they post the full sentence of the quote talked about in the title?
This is terrible journalism.
The odds that they misrepresented what was said in some respect is very high
President Trump: Russia is “bombing the hell out of” Ukraine but argued that Russian President Vladimir Putin had “all the cards”
A bunch of posturing via bluster.
I have been waiting for this to happen.
Your first mistake is believing NBC news without a full transcript of the interview.
What is really going on here the Mainstream Media and Never Trumpers support Zelensky.
Trump still buddies with Putin haters like Lindsey Graham who got his endorsement this week.
It’s a pretty fecal pond we are in with Ukraine.
Putin is a ‘war criminal’ wanted by the International Criminal Court. Benjamin Netanyahu is a ‘war criminal’ wanted by the International Criminal Court.
It’s easy for President Trump to support the second ‘war criminal’ but in his heart he probably is friendly to the first ‘war criminal’.
Russia will slowly but surely win if this thing drags out and if Trump cuts Russia Russia will join up with China.
Was that the ultimate plan of the Ukraine War supporters out there?
For reading the NBC article, it also says "The president’s comments come after he had previously criticized Zelenskyy, saying he was 'sick' of his handling of the war and falsely calling him a dictator."
Quite the impression -- until the entire interview is released for the details -- that President Trump is "sick" of both Putin and Zelensky.
Given that our United States is about 4 percent of the world's population, that the European Union is larger in population by millions, and that there are about 200 nations in the world, the notion that a non-NATO Ukraine's war with a non-NATO Russia is somehow President Trump's to solve is becoming laughable.
Besides which, the war is already over, according to some: 'Putin's already lost the war,' says Biden Le Monde, 14 July 2023 Ain't it a funny old world?
President Trump and Vice President Vance might well conclude that it is time for that budding, blustering "coalition of the willing" in bold, brave Europe to take charge and solve the mess.....
Is anybody else starting to get the feeling that Trump is getting a bit unhinged with wanting to bomb Iran, his obsession with Greenland and using force to get it, same witb the Panama canal, picking fights with every country...
I like the guy, but I wish he would rein it in a bit and focus on draining the swamp.
Wait! How can this be? NBC has been telling us that Trump is Putin’s puppet, and we all know NBC never lies. /sarc
My assessment hasn’t changed. Trump wants a ceasefire but he also will have a limit to his patience. This is a case where he has given Putin an inch and Putin wants the mile. Putin has been toying with Trump and trumps gonna lose patience. Z may not be helping, but it’s not about Z now. A collapse of Ukraine is not in anyone’s interests except Russia.
Keeping Russia in China’s camp is a genius move (not).
So the poker face, is out.
In sum: Trump is very angry that Putin is not who Trump pretended he was.
