Dear President Trump.

Get back into your traditional role. Let the diplomaats handle foreign affairs.

Donald, by you taking control of foreign policy and all the conflicts, you are a party to those conflicts. At least with diplomacy you can have pasuable deniability.

The American people understand that you think you have to be involved because you don’t trust the State Dept/CIA, but you also forfiet your objectivity.

By your involvement in foreign affairs….( * violates our Founding Fathers wisdom).

Very well said.

Your #36. Good point. I’ve never met a Russian here that likes Putin. Most were outspoken about Putin but haven’t seen too many lately.
One friend said they are cautious about discussing the POS...too many Ears.

How would you feel if that piece of human debris was responsible for the death of your son.

You miss the entire point. Trump is not the SecState. When your president by-passes the diplomacy, your president says stuipid things, makes stupid threats and its in real time.

When your SecState handles the diplomacy, there is a filter. Your president then becomes a decision maker and not some emotionally challenged kid.

Trump’s credibality overseas is gone. His shtick of negotiations are basically over for him and the rest of the world. He has proven himself two-faced.

The rest of the non-Western world is drawing pararals to Ukraine and Iran.

Both avoidable. Both now have Trump playing a duplicitous game. He was talking about both carrot and sticks. Then forces beyound his control attacked the day before neogitations.

The world now see’s Trump and his negotiations as method to allow the west to time their attacks.

Had Rubio been handling the negotiations, Trump’s fingerprints and being caught in the know would have never happened.

Viet Nam joined Brics... China and the Africian countries have signed a huge trade deal.

MAGA is going to end up a dream destroyed by a thousand cuts and a possible currency change.
Trump has been drug thru the dirt by his own actions and his own mouth with his negotiations. He has shown the world he is the right hand pulling the left hand in a bait and swtich. The credibility is now gone this weekend.

You and I both know Trump knew the strike on Iran was coming and he was constantly talking about a deal with Iran... while non-essential personnel and familiy members were withdrawn and weapons divereted from Ukraine to Israel. The world saw it.

Putin saw it. Xi saw it.

So it is time to get the State Department focused on diplomacy and Trump needs to focus on the country.

When a leader spends all his time on wars, you can bet your financial A$$ the U$ is in dire financial trouble.

Both are strong leaders,

A strong 'leader' doesn't have to rule by force and fear. That's not leadership at all. A criminal who holds a gun to your head, is not leading.

and both have strong approval ratings.

Nonsense!

Putin's approval cannot be measured at all. Nobody dares speak against him and nobody dares conduct polls without his approval, and if a poll is published that shows disapproval of Putin, the pollster won't ever be heard from again, not even by family members.

Keyboard commander…..while living ( training Ivans) in Russia, I can assure you the vast majority of Russians support Vlad. You are a victim of western MSM and their narrative.

This Western mistaken belief will lead to conflict, ( as we are witnessing), maybe even defeat. Just the facts from someone who has been there.

I take it you 1) viewed his Podcast, and got angry or 2) you didn’t even listen to it, and obviously got angry anyway.

Your Ukie Hopium is encouraging, but I don’t believe in Unicorns ( either does anyone else watching the Ukie war closely)….fact is Ukraine is flat lining, in every sector.

"We're watching a holocaust. We're watching something that I've never seen before. [Russia] is blowing up buildings, with children, with women, with professionals, with people, just people, they're blowing up indiscriminately. They're just shooting massive missiles and rockets into these buildings and everybody is dying."

"The numbers are far worse than what you're seeing on television. I don't know if they [are] keeping them down. When you see buildings being blown up and then they say one person died? Give me a break. Many people are dying and we're allowing this to happen."

"They have to stop it and they have to stop it now, but they don't respect the United States, and the United States is not doing anything about it. This is a holocaust, this is a horrible thing that's happening and you see it on television every night."

Russia and China are not buying into boys in girls locker rooms, gay marriage, destruction of the family, men in woman’s sports, unchecked illegal immigrations, etc, etc…….yes, I stand by my statement.

In fact, Russia, China, India, and many others aren’t buying into “ Western Values”, ….however, Trump offers some relief, but he will notebook around in three years.

Russia’s economy is unraveling in 2025 under the weight of war, sanctions, and collapsing state resources.

Putin’s government is burning through reserves to fund the war in Ukraine—while inflation soars, the ruble weakens, and Russia’s sovereign wealth fund runs dry.
This video exposes the full scope of the crisis the Kremlin doesn’t want you to see—and why experts believe Russia may be heading toward long-term economic failure.

So true.

March, 2024:

Last Sunday, Russia completed the circle and returned to Soviet practice. State election officials reported that 87 percent of Russians had cast their vote for Vladimir Putin in national elections, giving the Russian president a fifth term in office. Not only were many of the reported election numbers mathematically impossible, but there was also no longer much of a choice: All prominent opposition figures had been either murdered, imprisoned, or exiled.

‘ I can assure you the vast majority of Russians support Vlad’

How we’re able to determine the opinions of the vast majority of Russians?

“Viet Nam joined Brics...”

As a partner, not as a member.
