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.
Freeze-out
LOL!
You’re going to be inundated with Palestivermin from Gaza, right quick!
But wait, Bush and Obama, as well as many Freepers say Putin is the leader of the U.S.A.
As expected, no one in the media pool asked the key question.
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
Jean-Michel Trogneux ! Macron and his man .
End it, Volodya.
Does Ukraine pay you to post here?
“Bravo Trump! I fully approve. Pure common sense.”
I will say Trump’s policy is pretty sound.
However, Trump needs to realize that for most people in the world, they don’t even have $1,000, never mind a $1,000,000,000 or more like Trump has.
A Russian is happy to have a loaf of bread and five ounces of meat, both of which would come from Russia itself.
If in the second half of 2025 and all of 2026, the average Russian can’t get imported stuff, it would matter little, as the average Russian doesn’t even have an SUV to stuff every weekend with Chinese-made stuff from Costco, or a big house to fill with Chinese chattels from Amazon.
ZEEPER FOLLIES PINGLIST!(((PING!)))
“Rheinmetall will hold a 60% stake in the joint venture, and the facilities will be capable of producing up to 10,000 missiles per year. Production is expected to begin between 2026 and 2027.”
“Special emphasis will be placed on long-range missiles”
Vlad, can I have a 30-day ceasefire (while the US, EU and Ukraine boost arms production and Ukraine trains about 50,000 more soldiers)?
Nyet, Don, nyet!
Putin isn’t stupid. He knows the US wants a pause to give them time to produce more missiles and rearm Ukraine. The longer the war goes on the more people die and the more land Ukraine loses. Is Zelensky still kidnapping people off the streets and sending them to the front lines? Ukraine is overdue for an election. I doubt many Ukrainians support this corrupt scumbag.
What a joke. Europe can’t ramp up arms manufacturing overnight any more than we can. As for more sanctions Russia is so used to those they could care less, they have cut back or no longer sell to the west anyway. Don’t forget the U.S. blew up the Nordstream Pipelines so Europe can’t buy cheap natural gas to run their factories or keep warm in winter.
Oh and by the way Russia is the most Christian Nation there, Putin brought back the Russia Orthodox Church to the forefront, what exactly has the West done, it become much more Secular and turned away from God.
You really have not studied the history of the region or know anything about it.
This is just stupid, by Trump.
He is going what Nixon did with Vietnam, making the Democrats’ war his own.
Hey Foriener 🐸

Ukies really ramping up the retreat towards Victory 😉
I’m disappointed in this. I fully understand Russia’s need for Crimea and the Sea of Azov for its security. Ukraine wants Russian territories but hates the ‘Orcs’ that came with those territories.
I suspect this is a miscalculation in everyone’s part. Absolutely no one is interested in backing down, this will end badly for the world.
