I really don’t care what Putin does to Zelensky but I feel like he’s trying to embarrass Trump and to make Trump look weak and ineffective while Putin appears to be in total control. For that reason I’m starting to hope that Trump works harder to put more Pressure on the Russian economy. I don’t think the Trump overture to Syria didn’t have Putin in his sights.

Putin trying to cut Trump down a notch or two on the world stage.
Putin originally had FM Lavrov going to Istanbul, that's his top negotiator. First Zelenski and then Keith Kellogg started spouting nonsense about what a ceasefire would look like and the Russians decided to back off.
If anything, Trump should be embarrassed by his own side.
We have some real cuckoo birds here on Free Republic whose love for Russia and Vladimir Putin is so out of control they will even abandon Donald Trump and criticize trump. They long ago went deep into criticizing America as compared to russia.
Regarding ukraine, I’ve made it clear that I would rather see that country sink into the ocean before I will allow anything to harm Trump or his leadership of america.
Regardless all the name calling that goes on here about zeepers and neocons, I happen to think Ukraine was involved in trying to kill trump.
However, Europe is a real place that America has to be concerned about and Russia is a real enemy that is far more dangerous than ukraine. Putin is not a valiant Christian Warrior he is a violent despotic thug.
I have to marvel at the person today who is lecturing me we don’t understand the Russian and Putin brilliant way of conducting a war which is to deliberately make it go on for years rather than winning it quickly. What a bunch of deluded nonsense.
Go Trump and to hell with Russia or Ukraine to whatever extent they act against America’s best interests.
