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.

Right, so we should blame the invaded for trying to defend themselves, not the invader. Got it
Russia invaded as a response to us piling up weapons along its border. We didn’t have to do that. We are the cause of the war. Don’t pile up weapons if you don’t want a war. It’s unnecessary.
This is 2025, not 1942. Hitler didn’t respond to us piling up weapons, Putin did.
We were planning on invading Russia when we piled up our weapons. We are the cause of the war. Don’t pile up weapons if you don’t war. We would think that China or Russia were intending war if they piled up their weapons our border, but they are supposed to believe we mean no harm when we do it.
Putin invaded as a response to what we were doing. You can’t expect anything different. You must be a liberal to not see the obvious and then emote after we defeat Russia with a quick kill.
Yup, not sure how Austria or Switzerland survived all those years surrounded by NATO with its "piles of weapons" along their borders. Idiocy
Yes, because Putin is a russian imperialist.
Why did Finland drop 75 years of neutrality with Russia and quickly joined NATO?
Because its treaties with Russia were worthless just like all the treaties Russia signed with Ukraine promising to recognize its borders.
What is “real” about Kellog? His daughter is profiteering on this war.
“start trashing POTUS now for finally calling out Putin for what he is: a murderous, power-mad psychopath.”
Putin is all those things, as is Zyy.
PDJT has said his peace and that should be sufficient. Walk away from those two dictators and let them destroy each other. At the same time, have POTUS and Hegseth beef up our own security like hell!
The Putin worshipers are still upset about Kamala losing. Kamala was Putin’s pick.
Russia can’t afford this war.
Ukraine can’t afford this war.
Who’s paying for them both to fight?
Answer that question, cut off the flow of money...
And you stop the war.
Sweden and Austria are not enemies of the West, but Russia is.
“The authors of the Old Testament had limited geographical knowledge “
God was the Author of both the OT and NT, and He had a clue about geography. Most End Times references are in the NT.
I expect that the humans who penned the Scriptures were wondering about the cryptic nature of the text because, as you say, they had limited knowledge.
Anyhow, most theological scholars believe that while Russia is referenced re End Times, America isn’t, so that’s a bit scary.
No. Putin has more nationalistic aims, not imperialistic ones.
We are the ones with imperialism on our mind.
Putin kept the treaties until 2014, when we told him to pound sand when he broached the subject of Russian security.
Your #50 is right over target.
Really? Pray tell how is Zy a "a murderous, power-mad psychopath.”
Equating the victim with the aggressor is ridiculous.
Russia hits Ukraine with massive drone, missile barrage amid prisoner exchange

Not sure of order but didn’t Ukraine try to shoot down Putin’s helicopter.

According to the Russians - but is more a fiction than anything else.
Really? So explain why Putin has a 5,000 word essay on the official Kremlin website, why Ukraine cannot be free and independent of Russia.
Article by Vladimir Putin ”On the Historical Unity of Russians and Ukrainians“
Well, if we are truly responsible for starting the war, as you say, seems only fair that we be responsible for ending it…
Ukraine is Russian, at least along the east.
Yes, we could have ended it yesterday by talking with Putin. We could have prevented by addressing his concerns and not telling him to go pound sand.
Well Putin, obviously the Ukrainians don't agree.
