My decision on Russia is a very simple one. I am in the process of negotiating Peace in the war between Russia and Ukraine, and don’t want to do anything that will drive, foolishly, Russia away from the bargaining table. Great progress is being made, and that includes current hostage negotiations! Signing that document at this time will do that, and I can sign it later, or any time that I want! Perhaps more importantly, Russia is doing very little, if anything, to help the Islamic Republic of Iran, compared to what they could be doing, and I want to keep it that way, and will, unless stupid people get in the way. Lastly, Zelenskyy is using Diesel Refineries in Russia as a target, knowing that these attacks are seriously hurting the world diesel markets, including those in the United States. Farmers, ranchers, and businesses of all kinds are suffering greatly from this, but Russia is, nevertheless, sending, at a low price, millions of barrels of diesel to the World. Zelenskyy doesn’t care, and frankly, with all of the money that Europe is famously giving him, and that Crooked Joe Biden gave him in the past, he doesn’t want to end this war, and probably never did. He could have made a better deal two years ago than he can now. His country is in shambles, a large portion of his land is lost, his oceans and seas are gone, and his male population is low, wounded, and/or dead. I WANT THIS WAR END! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP

Ukie war cheerleaders, take note. Your western MSM has bamboozled you... again....like I have said numerous times, post war analysis will be breathtaking as to all the Ukrainian news lies by the West....down to " the last Ukrainian" comes to mind.
Go Trump!
I actually don’t agree with everything on this, but Ukraine and Russia need peace.
Agree or disagree, Trump is telling you the score....Ukraine is toast. He knows much more, and it will all come out post war. The western MSM covered up the Ukies extreme losses...they will cease to exist if they don’t start negotiations asap.
Trump is lying
The sanctions are being blocked because that’s what Russia demanded in return for the diesel deal
That’s why the sanctions-blocking news was released late on Friday nite, cuz even Trump knew it was bad
“peace” has nothing to do with it
I am willing to fight Russia to the last Ukrainian life, as are my fellow war-groupies.
They won't be able to field an army by 2030 due to their demographics.
There are no Ukrainian men left in the country.
If Trump says it, it must be...well, he might actually believe it.
Now that Graham isn’t corrupting him, he’s making some good decisions about this.
“Now that Graham isn’t corrupting him, he’s making some good decisions about this.”
Rumor has it that Tulsi visited the White House last week. If true, then there will be a path to ending the war.
I have heard statements like this too many times in contrast to too many contradictory events to believe he and his State Department have a grip on reality.

Occam’s Razor agrees with you.

Which side does Tulsi represent these days?
@ZelenskyyUa
Sniffy the Clown is coked out of his mind.

Of course Trump is lying, but why?
Trump asserts:
Russia is, nevertheless, sending, at a low price, millions of barrels of diesel to the World.
We know Trump is lying because Russia is sending no diesel fuel, at any price, low or high, to the world or anywhere else, apart from Trump's imagination. Russia established an embargo on the export of diesel fuel through October 2026!
Russia cannot send "millions of barrels" of diesel to the world because it is so short of diesel fuel that it is actually importing fuel from places like India.
So this so-called "deal" will put no more diesel into trucks and tractors around the world. Trump is lying again.
The lie stems from the fact that the price of diesel rose as the proximate result of Trump's mismanaged war against Iran. The IEA called the Middle East disruption “the largest oil supply disruption in the history of the global market.” Any disruption caused by Ukraine had been done before Trump started "negotiating peace." Not today, and at no time in the foreseeable future is Russia in any condition to significantly export fuel or oil into the world market.
So why is Trump lying?
Obviously, he is lying to affect the midterm elections. Although he knows that he cannot actually help the farmers and ranchers, or anyone else in America, by supplying them with more diesel fuel from Russia, he knows he might be able to win those disaffected Republican ranchers' and farmers' votes by falsely telling them that he can ease their pain.. So that is the immediate reason why Trump is lying this time but why does he persist in supporting a murderous, barbarous tyrant in an invasion of an innocent, sovereign nation?
While I was jotting down some musings about what was inside Donald Trump's head, a preoccupation that bedevils so many patriotic Americans, I came across this analysis that is the most cogent I have seen; its thinking parallels my own:
Why Trump wants Ukraine to lose – and what to do about it[/B]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ElRegbf3bes&t=308s
I am fully aware of the apparent futility of analyzing Donald Trump's motives. It is both a swamp of contradictions and a playground for free play of agendas. But this analysis rings true in common sense and stands up to examination of its application in real time.
Anders Puck Nielsen is a non‑partisan military analyst, not a left‑wing or right‑wing advocate. His work is grounded in military science, naval operations, and strategic analysis, not political ideology.
He is worth listening to.
Essentially, he says that Trump is an ideologue who believes in the amoral geopolitical reality of big power dominance and believes that big power dominance is desirable. Russia is a big power; Ukraine is not; hence, Russia should prevail in the natural and desirable order of the world. Trump wants to manage the world big power to big power. Ukraine is an obstacle that is expendable.
I was interested in this analysis because it provides an explanation into which my nuts and bolts analysis of Trump's otherwise inexplicable behavior fits-of which more to come later.
Trump is a lousy mind-reader, bless his heart, but pretty good at scapegoating Zelenskyy for the high price of diesel. Too bad for him it’s not working.
If Trump was worried about the farmers, ranchers and businesses of all kinds suffering greatly because of the price of diesel, then he should have refrained from letting Iran close off the Straight of Hormuz.
Fuel prices spiked after he declared war on Iran and Iran retaliated and the world knows it.
It’s time to replace those Biden “I did that” stickers on gas pumps with an updated Trump version.
If Putin had not invaded Ukraine, there would be no war and all Russian oil infrastructure, Wildberry and Ozon warehouses, Yandex data centers would be fine and there would not be over 1.5 million Russia casualties.
Putin did that and he’s not going to compromise and make a deal.
The only way Putin will stop HIS war is if he loses more and more and more until Russians are tired of it and demand an end or he’s dead in office.
If Trump wants someone to be replaced, it should be the little dictator Putin, not Zelenskyy.
Calm down and drink another half rack. 😉
It's President Trump to you
