Trump ‘very disappointed’ with Putin after call: ‘I don’t think he’s looking to stop’

President Trump expressed dismay with Russian strongman Vladimir Putin early Friday, admitting that the Kremlin tyrant has no interest in stopping his bloody war on neighboring Ukraine anytime soon.

“I’m very disappointed with the conversation I had [Thursday] with President Putin because I don’t think he’s there. I’m just saying, I don’t think he’s looking to stop, and that’s too bad,” Trump told reporters after returning to Washington following a pre-Independence Day event in Iowa.

“It’s [former President Joe] Biden’s war, and I got stuck in the middle of it, just like I did with immigration and a lot of other things that they screwed up,” he went on. “But I was not happy with the conversation.”

I expect Putin’s replacement to be even worse.

I’ve never been under the impression that Putin wants this war to end.

I don’t think Zelensky does, either.

Trump is trying to reason with two selfish, corrupt assh0les.

Cleaning up Biden’s messes is an industrial-strength task.

Best to admit that Putin is really dumb for picking a fight with President Trump. Especially after all the big wins this past week.

What’s President Trump going to do? Very few options left, more sanctions? Laughable….best to ditch the blood sucking crook St Z ,” push him out of his nest”.

Everything about Ukraine stinks.

POTUS was soooooooo upset by this call that he planned a giant picnic on the White House grounds today.

Just wait for that UFC fight on the WH lawn. That should get the leftists in full zombie apocalypse mode.

Musk picked a fight with President Trump, too and look at him now. Don’t bet against President Trump.

Yes, but I think many of us were surprised at the number of Republicans who were upset at the flow of missiles to Ukraine being cut off.

I think it's a safe bet that these people played no small part in Trump's sudden about-face on the subject.

KYIV, Ukraine (AP) – Waves of drone and missile attacks targeted Kyiv overnight into Friday in the largest aerial assault since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine began more than three years ago, officials said, amid a renewed Russian push to capture more of its neighbor’s land.

The barrage injured at least 23 people and inflicted severe damage across multiple districts of the capital in a seven-hour onslaught. Blasts lit up the night sky and echoed across the city as air raid sirens wailed. The blue lights of emergency vehicles reflected off high-rise buildings, and debris blocked city streets.

“It was a harsh, sleepless night,” Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said.

Russia has been stepping up its long-range attacks on Ukrainian cities. Less than a week ago Russia launched what was then the largest aerial assault of the war. That strategy has coincided with a concerted Russian effort to break through parts of the roughly 1,000-kilometer (620-mile) front line, where Ukrainian troops are under severe pressure.

Russia launched 550 drones and missiles across Ukraine during the night, the country´s air force said. The majority were Shahed drones, but Russia also launched 11 missiles in the attack.

I don’t bet.

Trump is the closest to Realpolitik we’ve had since Jackson.

He is unlikely to do something dumb, in spite of his dumb rhetoric.

Ukraine is screwed.

Well the US spent $5B on the coup in 2014, has written/published policy papers about destroying Russia to get at their natural resources they have. Look at the 7 countries the West destroyed in the middle east - what do they all have in common? Oil... A lot of the interest here comes from the UK (not really a US ally - interfered in the election that put Biden in power). Old UK colonial habits have not really died. I’m just not on board with stealing oil from poor people.

Red or Blue, they don’t work for you! they work for the donors - many that don’t even live in the USA.

A good thing. Most know Ukraine is cooked. Kiev and hundreds of Ukie cities are getting hammered with record nightly strikes ( largest during the war-5-600 nightly).They simply have no adequate AA left. Vlad still holds all the cards.

Video after video show missiles striking across Ukraine with no AA response.

Negotiation Results Are Grim😕Heavy Strikes Hit Kyiv💣 Russians Begin Kharkiv Offensive

St Z will capitulate at one point now, or carry on to “ the last Ukrainian “.

Matters little, Vlad is accomplishing everything he stated. It may not suit some, but at this point Ukraine is toast, St Z either submits to territorial losses, or ceases to exist as a nation.

Advice to St Z, “ when you find yourself in a deep hole, stop digging”….fool.

Putin thinks Ukraine/NATO has been looking to destroy Russia for years.

Actually, Putin holds to the theory pushed by Alexander Dugin that Russia is in a perpetual conflict with the Atlantic powers (the US and Britain). This idea has nothing to do with any recent "provocations" by NATO. Following this theory, he also believes that the mere existence of Ukraine is an invention of the west aimed at Russia. As for the NATO provocations, Ukraine has constantly been blocked from NATO membership, and the Europeans have allowed their militaries to atrophy to such an extent that even Trump has complained. They posed no threat to Russia.
