VIDEO INC: Trump trying to stop ‘unwinnable war,’ says Rebekah Koffler
The “Putin’s Playbook” author discusses President Donald Trump’s efforts to end Russia’s war in Ukraine on “Fox Report.”
“President Donald Trump announced on Sunday that he will likely be speaking with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Tuesday. Putin’s spokesperson, Dmitry Peskov, and the White House have since confirmed the call.
Trump is eager to fulfill his campaign promise by making a deal with Putin to end the war in Ukraine, which he has called a “bloodbath.”
Here’s what to expect and what not to expect from their conversation.
Both Trump and Putin will likely remain cordial and respectful to each other, continuing to showcase their skills and talents in diplomacy. Unlike former President Biden and his VP Kamala Harris, who frequently got exasperated by Putin’s recalcitrance, calling him a “killer,” Trump does not insult Putin. The master of the Art of the Deal knows how to dance the waltz of diplomacy.”

“Putin is profoundly weak at this stage. He’s sitting on piles of cash he can’t convert. He’s spending about 47% of the equivalent of his GDP on defense. That’s not sustainable.”
[HR McMaster, Trump’s former national security advisor, says Putin is in a “weakened position” and will try to take “everything he can” through negotiations.]
Times are tough for neocons these days. I hear counciling can help. Get help.

Today: Former National Security Advisor Ret. Lt. Gen. HR McMaster joins ‘America’s Newsroom’ to discuss President Donald Trump holding a phone call with Putin over the war in Ukraine.
Perhaps Putin’s Russia trying to go for the literal moon in demanding excessively during negotiations, shouldn’t be mistaken for a position of Russian strength, but instead recognized for the weakness it represents.

Thank you.
You make an excellent point
Peace in YouCrayne runs thru Tump and Putin.
Kyiv Independent reports:
“U.S. President Donald Trump has been speaking with Russian President Vladimir Putin since 10:00 a.m. EDT, White House Deputy Chief of Staff Dan Scavino said on X...
...”Happening now — President Trump is currently in the Oval Office speaking with President Vladimir Putin of Russia since 10:00 a.m. EDT. The call is going well, and still in progress,” he said on X.
The call was still in progress as of 11:30 a.m. EDT, according to Scavino.”
I was counting on PDJT ending the war in 24 hours, as he said he’d do while running for office.
There, there now..... you’ll get over it.

You're a disgusting pos.
Oh, sod off with the tired, gaslighting, false accusations. You yahoos have been spewing the same stupid, nasty lies for three years now.
Take a hike, Soros-lover.

“Trump spoke with Putin over the phone earlier Tuesday “about the need for peace and a ceasefire in the Ukraine war,” according to a readout of the meeting shared by White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt.
“This conflict should never have started and should have been ended long ago with sincere and good faith peace efforts. The leaders agreed that the movement to peace will begin with an energy and infrastructure ceasefire, as well as technical negotiations on implementation of a maritime ceasefire in the Black Sea, full ceasefire and permanent peace,” it continued. “These negotiations will begin immediately in the Middle East.”
Democrats, however, remained skeptical about whether Russia would honor a peace deal.
“Imagine a robber breaking into your home twice—each time blaming you for the break-in. Would you trust them to stop?” Rep. Jason Crow, D-Colo. said. “Vladimir Putin has never kept a promise or honored a deal. Any deal must be fair & enforceable.” (Excerpt)
