President Trump’s statements today seem to signal a significant shift - a new phase in the war.

He said that Ukraine (with EU support) could liberate its occupied territory, and that it was time for Ukraine to act.

I expect that this includes approval for some significant Operation.

And of course, the unsaid part is....

zelensky is full of s**t, doesn’t really want peace, and can’t be trusted....

So let nato and ukraine fight against russia in their border dispute.....

and let nato find out how defenseless they really are, and how much nato really needs the U.S.

Trump’s relationship with a war criminal was always useless. He’s just admitting to learning that now.

Given the Ukraine invasion costs and sanctions, does Russia have the means to rebuild what is being destroyed in Ukraine and now in Russia by Uke drones?

Trump wants the Russo-Ukraine war to end. The fact that Putin refuses any negotiations or settlements, keeps fighting and wants more territory shows he wants to win. To Putin, that means outlasting Ukraine and taking the entire country.

The response of those who don't support Putin or Russia, but want Ukraine to lose, in response to Trump's statements about NATO defending its territory, about Putin playing Trump along, is to keep siding with Putin, that show's who side they are really on.

Eventually, U.S. conservatives, Republicans, True believing MAGA Trump loyalists, will have to pick between Trump or Putin, not both.

If they keep picking Putin over Trump... then what?

Putin’s opponents aren’t the President or the American people.

His adversaries are the WEF and the CIA. Until/unless POTUS demonstrates he can reign them in, the status will not change.

Because leaders come and go; the Military-Industrial Complex endures forever.

The Russia/Ukraine war is all smoke-and-mirrors, at the expense of the Ukrainian people. Many of the European slob nations still by $billions in Russian Natural Gas and oil. They are, along with China and India, directly funding Russia’s war.

President trump will coordinate an end to Putin’s sales of Russian oil which will destroy his ability to fund Russia’s war with Ukraine.
