President Trump on Monday did not rule out sending U.S. troops to Ukraine as part of a peacekeeping force if a potential peace deal between Kyiv and Moscow can be reached. “We’ll let you know that, maybe later today,” Mr. Trump said during an Oval Office meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Mr. Trump’s refusal to rule out the idea of U.S. boots on the ground in Ukraine is a potential major shift in his policy towards Ukraine as the war-torn nation considers security guarantees to be essential for any peace agreement. Mr. Trump met with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Friday to seek an end to the war.

MAGA forces and morphed into American Colonialism. We will help Israel take Syria, Jordan, Iran, and build a “Wall of power” against Russia. Somehow our only governmental concerns are for foreign nations. How quickly we pivoted from cutting waste and spending, to endless deficits once more.
Russia should be our Ally against China, Europe and the Middle East.
Yep, the New World Order and MIC are still in full control.
“terrorists drove two trucks filled with explosives into buildings housing a multinational peacekeeping force, killing 241 U.S. service members and 58 French military and civilian personnel in Beirut.”
“’The giant, four-story building that I expected to see was so demolished that it seemed as if it had just disappeared. Through the smoke and the air filled with dust, I could see the rubble and, worst of all, the pieces of bodies strewn throughout the area’”
“While the rescue and recovery operations were underway, the peacekeeping force was under sporadic attack from snipers and artillery fire.’
“The Marines’ withdrawal from Lebanon was completed Feb. 26, 1984. The British, French and Italian forces making up the rest of the peacekeeping force withdrew about the same time.”
I often think the EU and the Atlantic Council, through their media acolytes, believe they can create realities through force of will and “messaging”.
DJT exploits that propensity.
There was never going to be a European or American “peacekeeping force” in Ukraine. Russia has not changed their position, and neither has the Trump administration.
The mid-terms are going to be a bloodbath
rinos play checkers, not chess. /s
There is no scenario where the American people are going to tolerate American troops being placed in harm’s way in hellhole like Ukraine.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
If there are US / EU peacekeeping troops in Ukraine, Putin will never dare to hit them. Putin respects Trump.
“Chamberlainism seems to be dying in America now. “
You should be the last to say stuff about Chamberlain. Somehow, Chamberlain gets all the blame for the Munich debacle, but let’s not forget France’s role. They were even more craven as they had an actual alliance with Czechoslovakia. You always glide over France’s perfidy and cowardice in every historical context.
Every time something is mentioned you lanic
You are a panican.
Good. Let Trump cook.
Good. Let Trump cook.
His words “not committed”
Bullet points:
* Trump, Deal first
* Nsky wants territory
* Trump, “not committed” to US troops
* Italy at round table: positive sign that we have “dialogue”
You never rule out if anything your trying to negotiate.
Everything you take off the table, lessens your leverage
You don’t know history.
America as an indépendant nation would not exist without France’s massive military and financial contribution for its war of independence.
Here is the POTUS instagram video and comment glorifying the USA-FRANCE relationship:
Trump: “France is America’s oldest ally. Our cherished partnership has been a force for freedom, prosperity, and peace from the very beginning.” – President Donald J. Trump 🇺🇸🇫🇷

I also “don’t rule out the possibility” that you’re running Sen. Graham’s burner account on Free Republic.
Wow! That was easy! And fun!
“Russia should be our Ally against China, Europe and the Middle East.”
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
That’s like saying Al Capone should have been the Director of the FBI.
Not quite compatible I think...
Apparently, you didn’t know the following... :
Russia has recognized the Palestine State.
Russia has actively armed Hezbollah and HAMAS.
Russia has welcomed tens of thousands Communist North Korean troops to fight on the European continent.
Russia has violated the Nuclear non-proliferation Treaty by shipping nuclear ready to launch nuclear missiles to Communist KGB run Belarus.
Russia closest ally in middle east is the Islamic State of IRAN
Russia has recently signed a proactive nuclear collaboration and knowledge exchange with IRAN and North Korea.
Russia has harshly condemned Israel for its Gaza policy.
The Russian Government has kidnapped +20.000 Ukrainian children, prompting Melania Trump to write a diplomatic letter to Putin asking him to think about the child-victims of this war.
Russia is the leader of the “GINSCA” : Globo-Islamo-NeoSoviet Commie Alliance composed of IRAN, Russia, North Korea and China.
The only countries supporting Russia today happen to be ALL Communist:
Cuba, Belarus, Venezuela, Nicaragua, China, North Korea, and a few gangsta-African countries run by paramilitary Russian forces. And islamic IRAN of course. Doesn’t that make you feel a bit concerned somehow?
Ah! I forgot a few weeks ago Russia recognized the Talibans, to mock America once and for all. Russia is the only country in the world having done such an evil move.
And you say... Russia should be our ally?? I presume you have great sense of pitch black dark humor.
Russia isn't allowing a NATO military presence on its border. That would be no different than allow Ukraine to join NATO.
Any peacekeepers would have to be from neutral or BRICS countries.
“Russia isn’t allowing a NATO military presence on its border. That would be no different than allow Ukraine to join NATO.”
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
And America and EU do not allow Russia to kill civilians in our allied countries right in the middle of Europe. We don’t allow Russia to violate the Nuclear non-proliferation Treaty by installing Russian nukes et NATO’s borders in Belarus. Etc.. etc....
We can’t allow Russia to continue to wage wars all over the place and organize child trafficking. It’s forbidden by international law.
Russia has kidnapped +20000 Ukrainian Children. All this anti-Christian behavior by the Kremlin is illegal, immoral, and condemned by God.
Putin cannot dictate America’s and EU’s security policies.
Yep. They love War and bloodshed, as long as it is not THEIR Blood being shed.
Trump has promoted the idea of mining rare earth in disputed areas of Ukraine like Donetsk. How would that work?
