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.

He is a POS - from the moment he/she log into FR.
Another mystery-meat turdbag who's known by nobody here.
Yes, they don’t agree. Zee thinks Russian doesn’t belong in the Ukraine at all. Not their books, culture, churches.
He is an ethnic cleanser.
The Kremlin accused the US president of “emotional overload” - and said whatever decisions the Russian leader makes “are necessary for the security of Russia”.
It added work on Russia’s proposal for a possible peace deal with Ukraine was ongoing.
“We are really grateful to the Americans and to President Trump personally for their assistance in organising and launching this negotiation process,” said Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov.

LOL, Obama talked with Putin for two years, refusing to give Ukraine weapons, while Putin waged a separatist war in Ukraine.

Obama was one of the ones that told Putin to go pound sand. He and Hillary did that.
Sorry, if you’re trying to convince me of the peaceful intents of WEF appointed Western leaders, you’ll have to do better than that.
As long as our leaders are globalists, we are the bad guys. We will always be the bad guys as long as we want globalism. Our leaders decided to eliminate white people from the face of the earth through mass migration and using the power of government to force whites to comply to their elimination.
I know our genocidal leaders are still the good guys in your mind. Maybe you’ll change your mind once we are gone from the face of the earth.
“After all, he was a KGB Agent.”
There’s the appearance Putin is no different than a CIA operative. Appearing to do one thing, saying something totally different about it, creating a cover story for it, while actually doing something else. It all boils down to lies and distractions to cover up something illegal.
Wars are no different. Afghanistan being a perfect example.
Back to the Uke war. Russia appears to have no interest in a peace agreement. With that said, it’s now more important than ever for those slimy EU countries to step up to the plate and start funding and supplying their own war, which is the Ukraine war. And with Russian escalation, there is still no reason for us to fund it or to deplete our own arsenal just so the Europeans can kill themselves.
Russians lived in peace in Ukraine before Putin invade Crimea and started the separatist war.
Russia has built the largest land mass empire by ethnic cleansing.
“Making excuses for Putin?”
Please stop with your irate irrational radical extremist accusations. I CANNOT stand Putin OR Z either one, I take no sides, both are BAD...
I was only putting forward a very possible theory that would explain quite a bit.
Sure they did. As long as they didn’t resist their ethnic and cultural cleansing, they were left alone.
However, if they tried to be Russian in their own country, they were punished.
So did we. We went from 20 million natives down to something 2 million by the the Andrew Jackson was President. What’s your point. We complain about how liberals use American history to condemn America and here you are doing the same thing as a liberal to justify your hostility towards Russia.
Before 2014 in Ukraine's capitol most people spoke russian. There was no "ethnic cleaning" or punishment. Russians were not "in their own country", they were in Ukraine.
Speaking of ethnic cleaning, how many Ukraine schools or Ukraine churches remain in russian occupied areas?
None
Trump is going to have to point that out to the Europeans. It's likely that they'll have to buy the weapons from the Americans.
Ukraine has enough from their stockpile to continue fighting until this summer. Then they'll have to ask the Americans for another round of arms shipment.
Putin may believe that he'll be able to take all of Ukraine. All he has to do is to continue to feed his troops to the meat grinder. He's willing to do that.
Right, ethnic cleansing by russians today is okay because we all did it once 200 years ago. Okay
There are Ukranian native speakers in Russia.
From Grok.
Ukrainian-Speaking Communities: Ethnic Ukrainians in Russia, estimated at around 1.9 million (2010 Russian census), are concentrated in regions like Tyumen, Moscow, and Krasnodar Krai. However, the actual number of Ukrainian speakers is likely lower due to assimilation and Russification. Many ethnic Ukrainians in Russia speak Russian as their primary language, a result of historical policies and social pressures. In rural areas near Ukraine, such as Kursk or Voronezh, some communities may use Ukrainian or Surzhyk (a Ukrainian-Russian pidgin), but this is limited and lacks institutional support.
Unlike the Ukraine.

I see this talk is a feint a red herring if you would.
Yes, Stalin killed/deported millions of Ukrainians from their homeland, and resettled the areas with russians.
"Unlike the Ukraine"? What are you talking about? Russian was the dominant language in Ukraines capitol before 2014. Ukraine's army in 2014 was predominately russian speaking.
Putin INVADED Ukraine and seized land threatening genocide, and you are somehow surprised Ukraine is NOW banning russian. Okay
That was socialism at the root of that. Ukrainians weren’t the only ones killed by the socialists, because over 250 million people were murdered by them.
Russia isn’t socialist anymore.
Zelenskyy outlawed all things Russian. You can’t speak the language openly or carry a book in Russia.
Putin did invade Ukraine, as a response to us and our ambitions of expansion. Our globalist leaders want to defeat Russia and take it over. Our Satanic lead globalists.
All of the ruskies come out when you slap back at them. It’s funny. It’s like anti-roaches. Makes it easier to see them.
LOL, yup closing all Ukraine schools and churches and destrying all books in Ukrainian while bringing in russian teachers in occupied russian territories is not "ethnically cleansing Ukrainians". Okay
What Putin does is in response to what our globalist leaders did. Nothing more or less than that.
