Trump on Strategy to End Russia-Ukraine War: ‘There’s Only One Strategy, and It’s Up to Putin’
Breitbart ^ | 1/14/2025 | IAN HANCHETT

On Monday’s broadcast of Newsmax TV’s “Rob Schmitt Tonight,” President-Elect Donald Trump responded to a question on his strategy to end the Russia-Ukraine war by stating that “there’s only one strategy, and it’s up to Putin. And I can’t imagine he’s too thrilled with the way it’s gone, because it hasn’t gone exactly well for him either.”

Host Rob Schmitt asked, “You’ve said you want this war ended in six months. What is the strategy to do that? Can you give us any insight?”

Trump answered, “Well, there’s only one strategy, and it’s up to Putin. And I can’t imagine he’s too thrilled with the way it’s gone, because it hasn’t gone exactly well for him either. And I know he wants to meet and I’m going to meet very quickly. … Ukraine is being decimated and Russian soldiers are being killed in large numbers. And so are Ukraine soldiers — Ukrainian soldiers.

Former President Donald Trump said if reelected he would end the war in Ukraine before his inauguration because he is respected by Ukraine and Russia’s leaders.

“That is a war that’s dying to be settled. I will get it settled before I even become president,” the Republican said during his debate with Vice President Kamala Harris on Tuesday.

oh my... the Commie Putin butt lovers are going to be so upset that Trump is now saying nearly word for word what I have been saying all along.

There is only ONE way to end the war, and that is for Putin to give up and leave it’s peaceful neighbors lands.

The Putinistas preferred Heels Up Harris to Trump.
Their hatred of Trump is obvious.

There was the Trump Dance and soon there will be the Trump Dump.

Biden’s War.

Beyond that getting the US Congress to back any meaningful peace initiatives with Russia will tie Trump’s hands. Trump has little to offer but his word - but American presidents come and go, but the deep state remains.

The EU/NATO need this war to keep the US engaged in Europe. The citizens of the West have had no word or voice over Ukraine, and no accountability from their governments as this Project Ukraine Wealth Transfer run it’s course.

If Trump can deliver anything it will be over the dead bodies of the Senate/Congress and EU/NATO who will oppose the ongoing transfer of wealth to themselves who are in power and their favored MIC.

This is Obama’s war and Biden’s war - and Trump pointing that out is how he walks away from WWIII.

You’re not too smart or have any nack for reading into the headlines.

Trump realizes now that Russia is winning/has won/is going to dictate the outcome of this conflict.

Trump has previously placed the blame squarely on NATO and Biden.

See my post above this - Trump really has no cards other than disengagement. If Trump escalates, all the Missiles the US, France, and Britan fired into Russia will receive a proper response.

Trump is going to speak with Putin one-on-one, and he is going to hear another viewpoint. He will come away shocked that he has been lied to by our own Government. It is way worse in Ukraine than he has been led to believe.

Ukraine is not Trump’s only problem. The elites and democrats/NATO-cons have together with internationalized organizations like the ECB destroyed western economies.

The ECB has failed Europe - 75% of all employment is small business and it being destroyed in favor of large corporations. The EU is going to disolve and break up within 5-7 years - and economically they are on pace to repeat the collaspe of the Soviet Union. Sanctions are going to end. Germany is going to re-embrace Russia for the remaining Nortstream energy.

The EU is breakdowning financially and politically. The EU elites are losing the vote everywhere; the direction and outcome for quality of life is being destroyed.

Croatia, Romania, Slovakia, Hungary are all saying the the obvious that it is only a matter of time before the political structures in power are pushed out.

The US meddled in S.Korea and Bangladesh. Israel is going to clash with Turkey.

Now the west has entered a period of political assinations - both in the US and Europe. Those in power are pulling out all the stops to hang on to power and as a result we are now facing a world in these Elites cancel elections, coups, military takeovers like in Korea, and purges. There will more wars and problems for small countries caught up the US-Brit-Franc-German desperation.

The west (EU/US) are increasingly losing access to raw materials that were profitable for the financial system. Corporations, and security services, and military force was all profitable. Ukraine was part of this in the short to mid-term.

The NEO-Cons are in a world-wide crisis where they have lost control of their own populations, and mismanaged their economies.

It is hard to see the big picture, but Ukraine is over. Trump needs to move fast to prevent the US from becoming an economic disaster like Europe is now experiencing.

You will never get what you want from Putin lovers which is more of your stupid propoganda from Biden supporters (see how that works for you). The whole world wants appology from the Obama/Biden lovers.

I am trolling you in the last para, really its not your fault that you believe what you do.

Correct.

Putin has lost heavily due to his miscalculation. Now he wants some face-saving means to get out.

Trump will give him one
