SUMMARY

Trump has been repeating the Biden/deep-state nonsense talking points recently on sanctions, state of Russian economy, number of Russians killed, Putin’s “perilous” domestic political standing, etc....
I assume it’s because he doesn’t want to ruffle feathers while his key nominees for America’s top law enforcement (DOJ-KGB) and intel are all still pending nomination in Senate. Those are the agencies which hobbled his previous administration.

What sanctions are still out there that FJB and his neocon team haven’t yet thought of?
Also, has Trump actually offered more military aid to Ukraine? I haven’t seen it.
Seems to be a mixed message. If you really intended to show a big “stick” along with carrots, wouldn’t military aid be a key component?
So who is Trump directing this message at? Putin? Or US Senate Democrats?
So you’re calling Pres. Trump a liar, because he says Russia’s economy is failing?
Pres. Trump knows the truth ... YOU’RE the one in denial.
That explains a lot
So who is Trump directing this message at? Putin? Or US Senate Democrats?
I’m tired of winning, President Trump. Nah, not really. Keep it up!
If we did indeed cut all funding, wouldn’t that pull out all US “advisors” and get out of Russia’s backyard? Hopefully. We have no business there
timely words for you from The Boss of Free Republic:

Trump is miscalculating if he believes his lying media propagandists who say a million Russians have died and Putin is on the ropes. What do your EYES tell you? Russia is advancing across the board and it has no shortage of men or material. Despite Europe and America having pissed away 350 billion on the Ukraine project-they’re losing.
“Trump urges Putin to end ‘ridiculous’ Ukraine war or face new sanctions”
Why should Putin end Biden’s war?
“ So who is Trump directing this message at? Putin? Or US Senate Democrats?”
Yes.
“ Why should Putin end Biden’s war?”
Because Trump knows how to starve the beast. Plus, I think the deep state and WEF oligarchy siphoned off enough US taxpayer money. Anything now and Trumps DOJ will have a field day.
(see tagline)
“Because Russia will run out of money otherwise”
How long have you guys claimed the same? Nearly 3 YEARS now, and all I see is Russia rolling up more and more land.
And both sides are losing more and more men, and my parchince with both sides is done
Trump signed an EO yesterday suspending all foreign aid for 90 days.
His briefings are from Biden’s people right now until Tulsi is confirmed. Give it a couple of weeks and then he’ll start getting Gabbard team briefings.
Nothing is going to happen of significance pre-Gabbard.
Trump’s name for lil Kim is Rocket man. He should call Vlad “Micro Napoleon”
