President Donald Trump on Friday said his administration has already had “very serious” discussions with Russia about its war in Ukraine and that he and Russian President Vladimir Putin could soon take “significant” action toward ending the grinding conflict.

“We will be speaking, and I think will perhaps do something that’ll be significant,” Trump said in exchange with reporters in the Oval Office. “We want to end that war. That war would have not started if I was president.”

Trump did not say who from his administration has been in contact with the Russians but insisted the two sides were “already talking.”

Not reasonable for Trump to attempt to do anything until he has accurate intelligence status reports, which only happens after Tulsi Gabbard is installed.

So . . . weeks, to win vote and get people fired and things organized.

I dunno. Trump has the upper hand. Putin’s in trouble and he knows it. Zelensky needs a deal too.
Trump’s the dealmaker. Everyone knows it. He’s been in charge for a week so why is there no deal made? Two reasons.

1) US issues- He needs to lay down the law here first.
2) Let the 2 antagonists know their problems are not ours. Remember Normandy? Two and a half years after Pearl Harbor when Hitler declared war on the US. Let the Russians and the Krauts carve themselves up first.

“For as long as it takes”

To pull our troops back to Cold War borders, as we promised Russia in 1990.

“Let the Russians and the Krauts carve themselves up first.”

No. That was not the strategy. That’s a commie lie by the Soviets to slander us.

I knew that. It worked for them.

Still the US was coming out of a depression. Military wasn’t ready for war so 2 and a half years to prepare-too long?
