President Trump in a new post on Truth Social on Sunday night accused Russian President Vladimir Putin of having gone “absolutely” crazy and said if he did not stop what he was doing, it would lead to the downfall of his country.
The social media comments came after Trump had issued some of his toughest comments about Putin earlier in remarks to reporters in New Jersey.
“I’ve always had a very good relationship with Vladimir Putin of Russia, but something has happened to him. He has gone absolutely CRAZY!,” Trump wrote.
“He is needlessly killing a lot of people, and I’m not just talking about soldiers. Missiles and drones are being shot into Cities in Ukraine, for no reason whatsoever,” Trump said.
“I’ve always said that he wants ALL of Ukraine, not just a piece of it, and maybe that’s proving to be right, but if he does, it will lead to the downfall of Russia!”
Trump then turned toward Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky, who he has repeatedly criticized. Zelensky on Sunday had faulted the silence of the U.S. and other countries in the wake of the latest missile and drone barrage from Russia against his country, an assault that killed a dozen people.
“Likewise, President Zelenskyy is doing his Country no favors by talking the way he does,” Trump said.

I’d like to see you say that to my wife.
The zeepers are BIG MAD because they’re not going to get their ceasefire or their sanctions.
Re Russia & Ukraine, someone wrote, "I hope both of them win."
Right now both are losing badly...
Putin’s attacks these last few days were retaliatory. Trump should know that. You ALL should know that. Russia isn’t going to stand by and get bitch-slapped by the West over and over and not do anything about it.
How can you defend Putin given your tagline? Trump has made Putin a very favorable peace offer that includes keeping much of the land captured during the war and rehabilitation back into the human race. Putin should have jumped at that deal, but he didn’t. He is nothing but a two bit warmonger.
Making excuses for Putin? "Aww, but he used to be such a pussycat when he was just ordering columns of heavy armor to march on Kyiv! And launching hypersonic missiles against civilian centers was so-oo cute! That rascal!" Seriously?!
Putin has never been anything else but an evil-hearted threat to freedom.
Regards,
I hope Putin’s cancer kills him soon. This is the best solution for Ukraine and everybody.
Your first impulse is to always attack members of the Trump Administration - you wouldn't dream of considering that maybe Putin could possibly be the "bad guy" in this scenario!
How about this for a possible explanation: Putin is a power-mad dictator bent on rebuilding the old Soviet Union, and President Trump is gradually abandoning his previous approach of treating him with restraint.
Makes far more sense to me!
Regards,
So, do you think Putin would be right to dismiss President Trump?
That's a question demanding a YES/NO answer.
Regards,
Not a few people here will be getting whiplash turning on those they are told to blame by Trump.
Doesn't sound like you do. Sounds more like you are trying to undermine him.
And what's this talk about "Second Amendment territory" and "impeachment?" You're making no sense!
Regards,
Missiles ain't free, so I seriously doubt they would be used on anything other than strategic targets. If the goal is to harm civilians the best targets would still be infrastructure such as electrical power distribution.
Calm down, Adolf.
Yeah, the mere fact that he has ignited the greatest conflict in Europe since the end of WWII... That he has invited nuclear NORTH KOREA to join in on the invasion... That he has been rocket-bombing civilian centers in Ukraine... That he has annexed vast swathes of territory...
All those FACTS mean nothing to you. Putin remains, for you, a "peacenik."
Regards,
Exactly.
He knows what he’s doing.
I don’t, but he does.
Yeah, Uncle Sam was the "bad guy" in WWII.

“He needs to walk away from Europe and the Mideast. Cut loose all “allies.” Focus on domestic problems.
That’s my idea of America First. Maintain a strong defense but stay out of international meddling. Focus on our borders, crime, economy, cultural decay.”
Post of the month. Heck, post of the year.
A rational and sane post in this sea of insanity.
Too many Zelensky bots are “America Last”. They yearn to see US citizens bankrupted and penniless for Ukraine. They yearn to see US troops fighting and dying in Ukraine. It’s sick and treasonous.
It’s very simple: America first, Ukraine Last.
A successful attempt might brighten the chances for a quick end to the Russian invasion.
Regards,
Now there you go again, predicting what President Trump is going to do! Your telepathic powers must be extraordinary!
But then your post #81:
I'll let Trump do what Trump does without second-guessing him.You are all over the place!
