Putin has just discovered the scale of his latest miscalculation
The Telegraph ^

Posted on 07/14/2025 1:28:01 PM PDT by USA-FRANCE

President Donald Trump has finally lost patience with Vladimir Putin. Having promised a “major” announcement on Russia, Trump has now confirmed that the US will dramatically increase weapons supplies to Europe for use in Ukraine and threatened 100 per cent secondary tariffs on Russia’s trade partners. Trump would only provide Russia with an off-ramp if Putin agreed to a ceasefire in Ukraine within 50 days.

Bravo Trump! I fully approve. Pure common sense. We can't let the Kremlin endlessly continue to massacre Christians - whether they are Russians or Ukrainians. The Kremlin's lust for blood has become psychopathic. Trump will now rearm Europe just as I said he would endlessly here on FR. Europe will of course invest billions in this - all fine.

Europeans just never stop trying to get America to pay for their stupid endless wars.
Again, Trump is not falling for their nonsense.
Let Europeans pay for their stupid wars.
Its not America's problem.
Ukraine has never been an American ally. Ever.

Really hope Putin recognizes he made a major mistake in estimating where Trump’s red lines were. The last thing I want to see is ANY weapons going to Ukraine and the [bad-word-censored] running that criminal establishment. Hope Putin recognizes when to get off a horse that’s just too high. Trump would be perfectly willing to help him save face, but Trump’s position is always Don’t Kill People. He’s a completely different kind of leader and Putin needs to listen closely to what Trump says.

But wait, Bush and Obama, as well as many Freepers say Putin is the leader of the U.S.A.

To what end?
And at what cost?
Just how much money did Biden pump into Ukraine under all kinds of ruses?

It's Putin's war. It's Ukraine's war, which then makes it Europe's war.

Most of Europe are NATO members. The U.S. is a NATO member. Putin picked on the wrong target, which indirectly includes the U.S.

So, why don't you ask Putin why he invaded a European country, which most of Europe had to get involved in?

President Trump Gives President Putin 50 Days to Finish Ukraine Operations and Get to Peace Deal, In Interim Offensive and Defensive Weapons Coordinated Through NATO

July 14, 2025 | Sundance 

As expected, no one in the media pool asked the key question. 

If Ukraine is not a NATO member, and Russia is not a NATO member, then why is NATO even involved? 

Not a single media outlet cared enough to even ask the brutally obvious.

LET US NOT PRETEND.  There is good news and there is bad news within the outlined strategy.  More good than bad, despite the spin room narrative engineering being immediately spread by U.S. media.

First, President Trump is giving Russian President Vladimir Putin 50 days to finish his strategic military operations in Ukraine, before a 100% tariff rate is executed against the Russian economy.  With direct U.S. trade with Russia already not happening, the tariff would likely be applied toward any country purchasing any goods or resources from Russia (specifically India, China, Iran, etc.).

Second, despite Lindsey Graham and the EU leaders discussing the confiscation of Russian assets held in EU/USA bonds, neither President Trump nor NATO General Secretary Mark Rutte mentioned it.  Again, the media never asked that question.  Thankfully, President Trump seems to realize if such a confiscation took place, the financial credibility of the entire western finance system would be compromised.  No nation would want to put their national wealth at risk by buying U.S. and EU treasury bonds.

Third, the part the MSM will focus on.  In the interim of the 50 days, NATO will be both purchasing and moving offensive and defensive weapons systems into Ukraine.  On the defensive weapon side, Germany will likely send Patriot missile batteries, and NATO will replace them with new U.S. purchases.  In addition all NATO states will provide increased offensive weapons and purchases will be made from U.S. stockpiles.  Those new offensive weapons will likely be held back until the end of the 50 days, giving Putin something to think about to bring him to the table.

Summary.  Putin has 50 days. In the interim NATO is approved by Trump to ship offensive and defensive weapons into Ukraine.  The Senate sanctions package will continue to be assembled, perhaps approved, but not deployed until after the 100% tariffs are executed if Russia is non compliant in getting to the table.

BREAKING NEWS: Trump Takes Multiple Questions After Threatening Russia With 100% Tariff With Rutte

The carrot is the 50 days to get finished.

The stick is all hell will break loose on Russia, including new and powerful offensive weapons, if Putin doesn’t end the conflict prior to the 50-day deadline.

50 days was too long, it should have been ten

“Most of Europe are NATO members. The U.S. is a NATO member.”

Again Ukraine is NOT a US ally and has never been a US ally.
Its funny how these countries get into wars then all of a sudden demand massive American military/financial support so they can win.
Its not how it works.

Putin did not expect Trump to be president again. Putin invaded Ukraine while Biden was president, and he expected the war to end quickly and way before Trump could get in again. Unfortunately for Putin, the Ukrainians, with the help of NATO (and the U.S.), put up a good long-lasting fight. Now Putin is stuck between a rock and a hard place, and he can't be seen as weak, which means no negotiations or cease-fire.

The U.S. was forced into the fight, even if indirectly Putin in fact, did miscalculate.

Ukraine, is working hard to grift as much from US tax payers as they can.
All efforts must be made to stop that blatant act of theft of US tax payer dollars.
