It's said that when someone makes a positive or neutral statement, then follows it with a "but," what follows negates what went before, and reflects the speaker's real opinion.
Thus it was that on Sunday's edition of CNN's State of the Union, host Jake Tapper three times mentioned that Russian attacks killed five Ukrainians after President Trump's meeting with Putin ended without a ceasefire.
In his final mention, Tapper said to Mike Pence:
"I'm not blaming it on President Trump,it's obviously President Putin's fault. But, if the ceasefire had happened on Friday, those five Ukrainians would be alive."
Gotcha, Jake. You're not blaming Trump for five dead Ukrainians, but . . . you'll let viewers read between the lines: yeah, it kinda is Trump's fault.
Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

“Russian attacks killed five Ukrainians after President Trump’s meeting with Putin ended without a ceasefire.”
Whoop-dee-doo
I’m not blaming Biden, BUT 90% of the war dead occurred while he was President. ;-)
Jake the Dramacrat is one of the dumbest talking heads.
The Fake doesn’t understand that LOTS of Ukrainians are gonna end up dead from here on out because Little Zelya is an intransigent POS.
Riiiight. Next, he’ll say he’s not blaming PDJT for dozens of future casualties from Hurricane Erin, but PDJT could have spared billions of $$$ to fund the the Green Nude Eel...
The technology of the war is changing fast:

“camoshield™ hides your near-infrared signature. But that’s not all. camoshield™ also hides your thermal infrared signature. It does this by bringing your surface temperature down to as little as 10°C. And it accomplishes both without compromising your comfort.”

Mike Pence has turned into a truly dishonorable man. Now you see he was traitor to the President from the beginning back in 2016. As far Tapper he is dishonorable after lying about the last president. The media is worthless .
Screw you, Jake. Blame BideBama, Vicky & The Vindmans, Pelosi, Romney and the other scum who made sure this war got started.
Trump is just trying to clean up yet another leftist mess.
Jake Tapper is a Democrat tool
Hey CNN!
What did your boy Biden do to try to negotiate a peace?
Oh wait, he caused the war and then as it went bad kept escalating things in the hope of salvaging it.
At least Trump is trying to end this nonsense.
BTW, where was CNN in October 2021 questioning Biden if it’s prudent to push NATO East expansion?
What is pence’s role in life.
I’m blaming Biden and Boris Johnson for a million dead Ukrainians
Of course Ukraine’s President doesn’t want a cease fire. He is unwilling to give up land for lives. So as long as Zielinski will not give up one inch of dirt he will pay with souls. A price he is willing to accept. Trump has two choices. Wait until Zielinski runs out of souls. Or trade them for American souls.
The wants WW 3 rather than allowing President Trump to make peace. Demons.
Yes-
CNN is a nasty, unprofessional, extremely biased, trash peddling, smear rag of the Democrat party that occasionally pretends to be a legitimate news outlet.
Ceasefire? Poppycock….it only benefits the Ukies….precious time to regroup and rearm. They are getting clobbered in Pokrovsk, and two other towns, four Cauldrons being formed….

The RUSSIAN Donbass will be secured as a given, as should be, even President Trump knows this. If St Z’ and his EU controllers don’t get busy at the table, Vlad WILL be rolling up to the Dniepner, and eating Chicken Kiev, served fresh, not frozen.
Three years of fighting and Russia has lost territory.
And over 200k soldiers.
And going broke having wasted their pension fund.
You are funny.
