In a Thursday morning social media post, Trump wrote, “I am not happy with the Russian strikes on KYIV. Not necessary, and very bad timing. Vladimir, STOP! 5000 soldiers a week are dying. Lets get the Peace Deal DONE!”
Trump had pledged to end the Russian invasion of Ukraine within 24 hours of being elected, but he and his diplomatic team have thus far found it difficult to broker a peace agreement with Russia and Ukraine, going so far as to suggest they will give up any efforts recently.

Putin’s intransigence was not factored in. A lot of us thought this could be ended quickly so Trump was not deluded or anything.
“This is a centuries old blood feud. Good luck solving that.”
Its a one sided blood feud. Russia does all the attacking of Ukraine, and Georgia before this. Before that Russia/Stalin starved to death 5 million Ukrainians, 1933-1934 during the Holodomor. The simple matter is that Ukrainians don’t like the stupid drunken parasites and want to be left alone. Similar to Poland. And Poland is quickly arming up just in case. They spend the highest percentage GDP on defense in the EU.
When was the last time in this “blood feud” that Ukraine attacked Russia?
Some of us knew Putin would not stop. And we said so.
Well that's just it. It's "blood feud" because Russia has spent centuries trying to dominate all the slavic people including Poland. The slavic countries reject the domination from foreigners. In this case it's Russia causing the problem and no one else.
We will have to learn to walk and chew gum at the same time.

At $37T in debt, we can’t even afford chewing gum.
Oh, and we were called out as Zeepers for saying so.
The debt is a problem. There are problems that can be worse.
There can be no peace as long as Zelensky is there to subvert it. Putin has tried. He honored the energy ceasefire, Z broke it everyday. Putin honored the Easter ceasefire, Z broke it innumerable times, including retaking Russian held positions while the Russians stood idly by honoring the truce. Putin unilaterally withdrew from Kiev and other strategic areas as part of the Istanbul Peace Process (which would have given all contested territory but Crimea to the Ukes), Z reneged. Putin honored Minsk 1 and 2, Merkel has admitted they were nothing but ruses to allow the NATO buildup to attack Russia. The NATO controlled insurrectionists broke the Maidan agreement the day it was signed and overthrew the government. Why in God’s name would Putin deal with that ruthless, lying Zelensky?
Trump appears to be stupid enough to believe that neocon goon Kellogg’s lies about the current military dynamic and the Russian ability to continue. That is why this has dragged out this far. If Trump doesn’t walk away from Zelensky and allow the Russians to have their legitimate buffer areas to assure NATO doesn’t attack Russia again in 4 years, the Russians will take all of Ukraine east of the Dnieper including Odessa and Kharkiv.
It does not matter what level of commitment Trump might decide to do to stop the Russians. The sanctions are a joke and any further ones only make them more laughable. Maintaining the levels of military aid Biden did will get another 500,000 Ukes killed before Putin has conquered what he feels is necessary. If Trump wants to kill us all by introducing American ground troops, the Russians will comply and WWIII will start.
The only leverage Trump ever had was to eliminate Zelensky and end the war utilizing Putin’s Istanbul II terms. That would have saved the 1000 Russian boys now dying a week. If Trump doesn’t do that Putin will stop fighting like McClellan and will go all in and end this by fall. After that it really won’t matter what happens to rump Ukraine.
“Trump will lose patience and walk away.”
I wouldn’t be disappointed by that result. It’s a European problem.
I agree.
I’m convinced that neither one of those barbaric jackasses, Putin or Zelensky wants peace.
STOP! In the name of love.
Well, the problem is that 2 and 3 leave Ukraine in the position of a sheep to be slaughtered and 4 is just plain cuckoo.
Trumps Truth Social Media Post From Yesterday About Zelensky.
You must have selective amnesia.
Until there is a Peace, there will be War.

Let them Fight it out.
It is Russia that needs De-Putinization to end this war & invasion. Hopefully this pos will die soon. Then we will see brainwashed Russian morons out in the streets crying over their dear leaders demise. Same as in North Korea when Kim Jung Il croaked. The women were out there bawling their eyes out.
Honestly, I don’t care what they do anymore, as long as it doesn’t cost our country so much as a dime.
Exactly, let the EU fund Ukraine until they don't have any fighters left to fight - then it will be crystal clear that Trump was right all along.
