An interesting "it takes three CNN folks to write a short article" article.

A simple word search of the article shows "lose" occuring three times, once in the headline, but not in quotes from President Trump in the article.

President Trump is quoted as saying: " 'Now is the moment to bring an end to the senseless killing. The United States supports a negotiated settlement that leads to a durable, lasting peace that ends the bloodshed and safeguards Ukraine's sovereignty and dignity,' Trump added."

Russians control less of Ukraine now, then they did at the start of Putin's invasion.

Wasn’t the reason for Japan entering WWII the restriction of oil products which was decimating their economy?

The Ukraine celebrates 1991 as their independence day because they don’t otherwise have one as they were never a nation before that.

US President Donald Trump joined other world leaders in sending messages of support to Ukraine


Hidden message: Just do not use our ATACMS to harm Russians at home. Disregard completely when they use their long range missiles to attack you in your home. Gotta be fair about this to stop the bloodshed.

“The people of Ukraine have an unbreakable spirit, and your county’s courage inspires many. As you mark this important day, know the United States respects your fight, honors your sacrifices, and believes in your future as an independent nation.”

Bravo! Thank you for sending this message, President trump!

Did President Trump also send a letter to Donetsk and Luhansk on their Independence Day?

Ukraine has already lost the war.

The annexed territory, with the consent of those living there, will be part of the Russian Federation as long as any of us are breathing.

Trump literally cannot continue to destroy American foreign policy. There are no do’overs with the President making decisions on the fly, and Trump in the moment does not consider the consquences.

The damage Trump has done to relations with India may take a generation or more to regian trust.

The case for Brics initially was that the pocketbook economics of third world global south and non-aligned states literally could not afford US/EU level prices and the ressultant trade deals, the sanctions, tariffs, threats, or frozen assets. Today the case for Brics is the stability that comes with now doing business with the US - the US has not continunity anymore in politics or international relations - we are bi-polar based on the the DNC/RNC holding sway.

Trump has created a aversion to working or dealing with the US, and he has show neither his own words or the treaties or agreements with the US are worth believing.

American used to be the country you could trust. Today our domestic politics has become our whiplash way of dealing with other countries.

The American people will pay a price for this failure to be trustworthy.

Having reitred from the Army and foreign service, it has been horrifying to watch Obama flip friends to foes and vice versa, only to be followed by the headless Biden admin and now Trump the EGOmanic.

It's good that Trump has resolved his differences with Zelensky so that they can get back to the their war on Russia.
