President Trump revealed to reporters outside the White House that he spoke with Vladimir Putin yesterday, saying the Russian leader offered to mediate the Iran-Israel conflict.

Even Trump, who has been a staunch defender of Putin, admitted he couldn't play peacemaker while the Ukraine-Russia war rages.

“Would have never happened if I was president,” he said before making a four-word comment to Putin directly.

“Putin would have never done it and I spoke to him yesterday and I said you know, he actually offered to help mediate. I said ‘do me a favor, mediate your own. Let’s mediate Russia first’, okay” he said.

Why does anyone think the refuelers, bombers and fighters are for Israel? Could very well be a feint and with that has Putin thinking.

From the article

“Even Trump, who has been a staunch defender of Putin, admitted he couldn't play peacemaker while the Ukraine-Russia war rages.”

Perhaps that media spin is why Trump makes these kind of comments.

Anyone who actually believes President Trump is not using Russia as a back channel in some capacity to try get the Ayatollahs to cave is naive beyond belief

I cracked up when Trump said that. I wonder if Putey knew he was walking right into it? 😉

Putin could have come back about Trump’s campaign pledge so end the war before he took office. How’s that going for you?
