Ok, so, all the BS talk of invading Europe should be laughed at then. 

 

Russia would not be able to handle the logistics of invading Europe.

Well, TACO is served and Trump is cementing his position as Putin's lapdog.

Traitor.

 

Hegseth will skip a meeting on organizing military aid to Ukraine in a first for the US

 

"For the first time since the U.S. created an international group to coordinate military aid to Ukraine three years ago, America's Pentagon chief will not be in attendance when more than 50 other defense leaders meet Wednesday."

Trump is obviously in regular contact with Putin. I guess that due to his obvious mental decline he needs frequent reminders from the boss on what his orders are.

 

Trump says Putin told him in phone call he will respond to Ukraine’s weekend drone attacks

 

"The leaders’ conversation was their second time speaking in a matter of weeks. Trump, who announced the call afterward in a post on Truth Social, made no mention of applying pressure on the Russian leader to agree to a ceasefire, or to calibrate his reprisal for Ukraine’s audacious drone attack on Russian airfields over the weekend."

Lindsey, etc threatening to arm the unwilling Donald:

 

RBC-Ukraine has already reported that the US Senate is ready to approve a bill on tough sanctions against Russia if the Russian dictator Vladimir Putin does not demonstrate a desire for peace.

 

The sanctions will take effect if Russia refuses to enter into good-faith negotiations for sustainable peace with Ukraine or attempts to undermine Ukrainian sovereignty after reaching a peace agreement, including through new military aggression.

 

Additionally, the law imposes a 500% tariff on imports of goods from countries that continue to purchaseRussian oil, gas, uranium, and other resources.

The US shouldn't have ousted the democratically elected leader back in 2014 then, or gone against both minsk agreements.

The agreement failed to stop fighting.[5] At the start of January 2015, Russia sent another large batch of its regular military.[2] Following the Russian victory at Donetsk International Airport in defiance of the Protocol, Russia repeated its pattern of August 2014, invaded with fresh forces and attacked Ukrainian forces at Debaltseve, where Ukraine suffered a major defeat, and was forced to sign a Package of Measures for the Implementation of the Minsk Agreements, or Minsk II,[2] which was signed on 12 February 2015.[6] This agreement consisted of a package of measures, including a ceasefire, withdrawal of heavy weapons from the front line, release of prisoners of war, constitutional reform in Ukraine granting self-government to certain areas of Donbas and restoring control of the state border to the Ukrainian government. While fighting subsided following the agreement's signing, it never ended completely, and the agreement's provisions were never fully implemented.[7] The former German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier suggested a mechanism of granting an autonomy to Eastern Donbas only after "the OSCE certified that the local elections had followed international standards", called the Steinmeier formula.[8]

'Will not be carrots': US Senate prepares tough tools for Trump against Putin

The exact reason BRICS was formed, the US dishing out sanctions over something thatnis nothing to do with them.

Graham is a neocon war hawk, he is going behind trumps back, he is a RINO. Stuck in the cold war mentality, just like some here.

When Trump said he phoned Putin and described his war with Ukraine as like two school kids fighting in a park that need to be left to carry on a little longer, this is like putty in Putin's hands, he knows there is a child like mind running the Oval Office.

 

This oversimplified analogy, combined with Trump’s reluctance to impose new sanctions or military aid to Ukraine, could embolden Putin, who may perceive a less assertive or naive counterpart in the Oval Office, giving him leverage to prolong the war or push aggressive terms.
