Putin should end war in Ukraine before mediating in Middle East – Trump
APA ^ | 6/18/2025 | Staff

Posted on 06/18/2025 12:42:13 PM PDT by marcusmaximus

Russian leader Vladimir Putin should first end the war that Russia started in Ukraine before talking about mediating in the Middle East, stated US President Donald Trump during a conversation with journalists, APA reports citing RBC Ukraine.

"I spoke to Putin yesterday, he offered to help mediate. I said, do me a favor — mediate your own. Let's mediate Russia first, OK? I said, 'Vladimir, let's mediate Russia first, you can worry about this later," Trump said.

According to the US President, he told Putin that he should deal with Russia first before involving himself elsewhere.

"So many people have been killed. Far more people are dead than have been reported in Ukraine and Russia. Many, many more people. A building falls down and they say, 'Nobody was hurt,'" Trump added.

Turning down any help in dealing with Iran could mean several things.

- Trump is done negotiating with Iran.
- Trump doesn’t trust Putin.
- Trump thinks Putin has no cards to play.
- All of the above.

The most obvious, and accurate response that should have been made by the President.

So should the US.

We have spent enough money propping up the most corrupt regime on the planet (now that Biden is out of office).

We are already spending more money than we can spare on arms on endless wars. Let's end one war before we inject ourselve into another one.

- That Putin is hypocritical in criticizing Israel for attacking Iran. For Russia attacked Ukraine under the premise that promises were not kept, and mistreatment of his people, and that its invasion was justified due to Ukraine being a military thread due to alignment with nuke powers. Likewise Israel, except that Iran seeks death to Israel, not simply defeat.

4) the conversation either didn’t happen or was substantially different than he reported. note that russia denies that they have spoken since saturday.

this is very serious overall.

Much of what has been happening has been due to the support of Iran - particularly its drones. That support is now threatened.

If you aren’t a treaty signatory you aren’t obligated by any law to abide by said treaty. That’s not a violation of anything.

The violators are those who signed nonproliferation treaties in order to get a free pass while they intentionally violated the treaties they signed, or who violated nuclear treaties by signing them in order to receive help with civil nuclear energy research, while actually intending to use the allowed civilian research to serve as cover for weapons research they had signed away the right to do.

We never ratified the Intl Court because the US government does not have the authority from the American people to do so.

Clinton could make motions unlawfully but without Congress and defeat of inevitable litigation in opposition , it was meaningless.

And even if Israel was in violation, Israel is not a threat to any country not itself making threats, nor even those enemies which do threaten, until these enemies actually attack and kill Israelis, so it’s just weak nonsense.
