Trump fires ominous six-word warning shot to 'disrespectful' Putin as row rages on

Donald Trump issued an ominous warning to Vladimir Putin after accusing him of deliberately drawing out the fragile peace process in Ukraine. The US president was asked whether he thought it was "disrespectful" of his Russian counterpart to accuse him of being overly emotional. A reporter questioned: "Do you believe the Russians are being disrespectful when they say that your criticisms of Putin are simply an emotional response? And do you still believe that Putin actually wants to end the war?

Mr Trump responded: "I can't tell you that, but I'll let you know in about two weeks. Within two weeks - we're going to find out very soon. We're going to find out whether or not he's tapping us along or not." The Republican then added a vague six-word caution, saying if Putin was, "we'll respond a little bit differently".

The US president then praised special envoy Steve Witkoff for doing a "phenomenal job dealing with them very strongly right now".

He added: "They seem to want to do something, but until the document is signed, I can't tell you. Nobody can. I can say this ... I'm very disappointed at what happened.

"Couple of nights now where people were killed in the middle of what you would call a negotiation. I'm very disappointed by that."

This comes after Mr Trump called putin "absolutely crazy" over his military's actions in Ukraine after nights of heavy bombardment.

He wrote on his platform, Truth Social: "I’ve always had a very good relationship with Vladimir Putin of Russia, but something has happened to him. He has gone absolutely CRAZY! He is needlessly killing a lot of people, and I’m not just talking about soldiers.

Translation: The Brits are doing everything they can to try to cause row between Trump and Putin, undermining the progress the President has made in negotiations.

Why? The Brits don't want the war to end and hope to find a way to get us directly involved in it.

Two weeks is a solid time frame for the budget, which controls what Trump can say about anything.

Trump has questioned Putin’s sanity.

Many in MAGAhave chosen Putin over Trump.

It certainly lends credence two Schiff’s allegation that Maga is aligned with Russia

You forgot the Brit Boris Johnson, who flew to Kiev and torpedoed the first Peace agreements. The Brits want war, and sabotage every which way they can.

The Brits and EU are more dangerous to the US than Russia is.
