The Art of the Deal does Lindsey Graham approve watch your back Mr. President?

[woweeitsme]

I honestly don’t know what to feel about this whole Russia/Ukraine thing. I wish both Putin and Zelensky would just be gone.

[BenLurkin]

What part of Russia does he think the Ukraine will receive in this “deal”?

[Mariner]

“What part of Russia does he think the Ukraine will receive in this “deal”?

A couple of acres in Sumy Oblast.

“Eighty-eight percent of Ukraine want Peace” - Donald J Trump, 8/11/25

[BenLurkin]

Sumy’s already in the Ukraine.

Maybe Russia will trade Kursk.

[BenLurkin]

And the others have “88” stenciled on their pecs.

[Mariner]

Those couple acres are in Russia now.

[BenLurkin]

That’s just a land grab.

PDJT must be referring to something else.

[Mariner]

Ukraine will have to trade land for a ceasefire.

Or the war will continue.

“Peace in our time”

[JonPreston]

so true

[Deaf Smith]

Work out the land swap like the US did with Cuba after the Spanish American War…$100 per year fee for our permanent military base in Cuba.

[Mariner]

If you don’t like the terms of any peace deal that emerges, you can volunteer to fight for your favorite side.

[alternatives?]

Ukraine will be able to join Europe and then be forced to allow a Muslim invasion like the rest of Europe.

[Vaduz]

Vegas loves people like Zelensky they believe they have a system to beat the odds.

[DennisR]

Russia was the aggressor. The blood is on their hands.

[Brian Griffin]

“MARGARET BRENNAN: Well, we have to take President Trump at his word, and on Friday, when he spoke in front of the cameras, he said there will be some swapping of territories to the betterment of both Ukraine and Russia. I mean, you know, Ukraine does not hold Russian land, and Russia has about 20% of Ukraine. What is he talking about?”

Areas U1, U2,..UN of Donetsk Oblast for areas R1, R2,...RH of Donetsk Oblast?

Pro-Moscow areas are usually towns and cities. Pro-Kiev areas are usually rural.

Would he knock Lincoln for refusing to give up land?
