US President Donald Trump voiced strong criticism of Russian President Vladimir Putin, expressing deep frustration over their latest conversation about the ongoing war in Ukraine. Calling the situation “no good", Donald Trump said he was “very unhappy" with the call, as he accused Vladimir Putin of wanting to “keep killing people."

“It’s a very tough situation," Donald Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One, adding, “He wants to go all the way- just keep killing people. It’s no good."

The US president also suggested that additional US sanctions on Moscow could be imminent, saying sanctions were a recurring topic in his conversations with Vladimir Putin. He said, “He understands that it may be coming."

47 readies another very harsh slap on the wrist for Putin, his friend who is just not behaving as he’s supposed to act.

PIF: "47 readies another very harsh slap on the wrist for Putin, his friend who is just not behaving as he’s supposed to act."

My understanding of Pres. Trump's priorities here are:

  1. Preventing nuclear war

  2. Working a peace deal between Russia & Ukraine

  3. Forcing Europeans & other Western allies to provide Ukraine with more aid

  4. Pivoting US military posture more towards dealing with China in the Indo-Pacific.
I can find no confirmed reports of any additional US aid delivered to Ukraine since January 20, 2025.
I have seen where there are just a few $billion left "in the pipeline", but even that, when delivered, is just a drop in the bucket compared to previous amounts.

So I'm not saying my understanding is necessarily correct, only that I've seen no reports to contradict it.

Well it took awhile, but Trump’s finally got the right target in the crosshairs. Whatever Zelenskyy’s failings, and the failings of the rest of Ukraine, the war is due to Putin and Putin alone.

Working a peace deal between Russia & Ukraine - never happen. Putin, like Russia, arbors peace. There are no riches or power to be gained that are worth having without conquest.

European aid is fine but they are not geared to making armaments and by the time they are, Russia could well overrun Ukraine.

China is in turmoil now - there is a huge battle going on between groups for control, now that Xi Jinping has been “displaced”. The CMC is on top now, but who know who will survive the purges, investigations, arrests, and disappearances to come out on top.

Not to worry about China - fix Europe first. Else pursue a fool’s errand.


There are reports that the pipe;line never stopped - except for the munitions Ukraine needs most and can only get from the US like: Patriot and Hellfire missiles.

How much do you want to see inflation increase and interest rates go up with more sanctions that hurt our economy?

More? Inflation and interest rates are coming down!

I absolutely agree with Trump's decision to cutoff arm shipments to Ukraine.

You obviously don't because you want to put Ukraine's interests ahead of our national security needs.

You keep exposing yourself as the enemy of the MAGA movement.

I don’t know it hasn’t been a good year to be on the Russian side of the ledger. Syria and Iran went down with hardly a peep. Russian influence is being eliminated around the world as putin is bogged down with a war he started. I suspect we have quantum sensors that can see his nuclear submarines. This means the Russian triad no longer exists. Putin is increasingly isolated and gets weaker by the day. Unless he comes to his senses I doubt we have the pleasure of him on the world stage much longer

Just the cost of doing business for Putin - he cares not a wit about the costs. Holding power is all. But even with Putin gone, Russia will fight on until they suffer a catastrophic military defeat. Nothing else will halt them.

47’s bitch slaps are ignored and worked around, making him the naive fool playing with fire.

Ultimately the toughest sanctions of all is a full blockade.
