Who is telling Trump the Russians are hitting nursing homes and there are civilian bodies in the streets?
Is he again as in first term, surrounded and captured by extremely poor choices of advisors?
Give it up Trump, let them slug it out. waste of time and effort.
The deadline also is for what? Lindsey Graham’s secondary sanctions?
surrounded and captured by extremely poor choices of advisors.>>>> same CIA as did the Russia hoax, the Syrian gas hoax, weapons of mass destruction hoax, and all the others.
Let’s see a 50-day deadline on releasing the Epstein list.
Russia does not care what Trump says. He no cards to play. Everything would have been fine if he just stuck to his campaign promises and the whole thing would have been forgotten by now and Biden would have been blamed.
“Trump threatens to reduce 50-day deadline for Putin to agree to deal”
LOL. Trump just wants to get his excuse for imposing 100% tariffs on China and India (and other countries) imposed sooner. It will be interesting to see how Americans react when our economy goes FULL-STOP after the tariffs are imposed.
I think, in the end, it will be a good lesson for us.
Good. Should have started low in the first place. And he’s right about knowing the outcome at the end of 50 days. Start turning the screw now.
I believe Trump.
He pretty much says what is on his mind.
When he revealed his conversations with Melania on the Ukraine, it disturbed me.
You are right he was betrayed by nearly everyone in his inner circle in his first term.
But he was also hurt by relying too much on the advice of his family, namely Jared and Ivanka who played a key role early on in filling positions.
Don’t discount the effect his Balkan wife may have had on his decision making.
If so, that is quite a crew he is siding with.
Senators Graham, Blumenthal and Clarkbar all three of whom wish him no good.
Now add his wife.

FR Putinistas need to remember that their candidate, Kamala, lost.
What are the terms that Trump is trying to impose?
And why are we trying to impose any terms in a far-away fight where neither nation is our enemy?
Since the FR Russian Terror supporters can’t think, they also can’t remember
Trump has managed to get a ceasefire in the Iran/Israel conflict.
Trump has managed to get US hostages home from Gaza.
Trump has done trade deals that have helped the US in many zones.
Trump has managed to dramatically cut federal spending, compared to Biden, and put out a better budget than I have seen in the 12 years of Obama/Biden.
Trump has just done a trade deal with the EU, and Japan.
Trump stopped ongoing wars in Africa.
I say Trump already knows that Putin isn’t going quit in Ukraine, because it’s not about any of the things Putin has been saying. Trump obviously wants to force Putin to the peace table, but Putin doesn’t want peace. Vlad the Invader, well he invades, because he wants things.
Let Trump do what he needs to do, he has the track record. Don’t second guess him. Let the Russians second guess Vlad the Invader.
And what is wrong with telling Trump the truth about what Russia is doing?
FR Putinistas need to remember that their candidate, Kamala, lost.

My candidate won - President Trump. However, he failed to stop the war in two days, failed to audit our Ft Knox Gold reserves, and appears to be failing on the Epstein issue.
That said, there are secrets that appear to be to “ harmful” if he releases them( Ft Knox Gold, Epstein). As for Vlad, he knows Russia holds the cards, ( $75 trillion in natural resources) and there is little he can do to such a powerful nation that is self sufficient and in need of nothing….his mistake is listening to the Neo Cons….
Great comment.
Sure, Russia which has thousands of nukes targeting us, is NOT our "enemy". Okay
Anyone else believe that the purpose of Trump's ultimatum was to know/expect Putin/Russia to reject the ultimatum? Trump knows Russia has the cards to win the war. When Putin rejects the ultimatum, this will give Trump an excuse to give his MAGA base - for his full support Ukraine.
Trump's buddy Sen. Graham will be elated when Putin rejects the ultimatum.
