He has NOT brokered all of those.  All he has done is CLAIM to have brokered them. Just more lies from the liar in chief and it's followers, like you!

Sure. As POTUS he sends his teams in to go and get things done. It's called being a president. As for the Isreal-Iran 12 day war here's what brokered this peace deal on the order from Trump.

Because daddy Vlad told him not to. With the Russian economy tanking, how are they going to keep up with Trumps BitCoin bribes?

The Russian economy isn't tanking like you obviously hope it is and Russia continues it's adavance on thre battlefield. Delude yourself all you like and believe as much Ukraine bias information as you like but reality is reality. Russia has the upper hand and continues it's advance on the battlefield whilst Ukraine's biggest problem on the battlefield is man power. As I say deny this as much as you like but it's what's happening. BTW I don't believe Russian bias either.

🤣......3.5 years and Russia still more or less in the same place......🤣

 

Why do you keep posting nonsense, whether Putin or Trump it is the same.....🙄

 

You obviously want Ukraine taken out, I don't understand why, are you really just infatuated by dictators, do you envy the power thingy......?  🤕

You don't have a clue of what's going on there so why comment. You obviously have no idea about the difference between maneuver warfare and attritional warfare and what's happening on the ground so your comment is the same as all your others. Trolling rubbish. If you think Ukraine is winning the ground war support your statement. Of course you won't you never do. As for this " You obviously want Ukraine taken out, I don't understand why, are you really just infatuated by dictators, do you envy the power thingy......?  🤕" it's just another example of how puerile you are. 

I woke up to two cats fighting in the alley last night, making an awful racket. But by the time I got out there, Trump had already broken it up.

Of course, you know EVERYTHING, eh.....🤥

You are just a 100% guesser.

 

And stop twisting stuff, your trait, I never said Ukraine was winning the ground war.

 

But don't worry, your other hero Trump, has it in the bag, eh, he told you so.........

Guessing has nothing to do with it. I look at maps and watch neutral analysis. As for war maps why would Ukrainian war maps show Russian advances which is what is being shown? You are classic Dun and Kruger. Fact is both Russian and Ukraine maps show bias with Russia showing more ground gained, Ukraine less ground captured. Some mappers are quite good because what they show ends up being shown on the Ukraine map i.e. Ukraine map lags behind. As it is several large cities on Ukraine's eastern front will be captured by the end of the year (this is a guess but it's looking likely). Again you haven't got a clue so that's why you always go for personal attacks or deflections. You really are a cantankerous old bugger and NEVER support your retorts with anything resembling an intellectual argument. Simply attack and deflect.

3.5 years tells it all, back to your guessing............

3.5 years yes. This shows you DO NOT know what protracted attritional warfare is. Russian troops moved in in 2022 and captured a lot. The 2023 counter offensive pushed Russian troops back. This is when Ukraine had the upper hand. Russia has pushed back and pushed back a lot. The war now compared to what it was in 2022/23 is very different. As I said you don't know what you're talking about. You say I'm guessing? It's what's happened and is happening and supported by history and fact. If you don't know this it's just shows your lack of understanding or your just being argumentative like a child.

Ukraine didn't have the tools, they do now, the Russians have been decimated, or are you saying the Russian casualties numbers are false, and their destroyed vehicle numbers is all tosh......?    🤔

 

Where are the N. Koreans, Putin's saviours, now manning the kitchens......?  😂

US brokers a deal between long-hostile Armenia and Azerbaijan

 

By Felicia Schwartz and Eric Bazail-Eimil08/07/2025 09:01 PM EDT

The leaders of Armenia and Azerbaijan plan to sign a joint declaration at the White House on Friday — committing to a peace deal facilitated by the Trump administration that would end nearly four decades of conflict between the two countries.

 The tools of war as it is now is boots on the ground. You say "the Russians have been decimated" then surely Ukraine should be pushing the Russians back. Why is this not the case. Russia has volunteers and Ukraine has conscripts. Ukkraine has a high level of desertion also. As for the North Koreans you once again show your lack of understanding. These were mainly for manning the North Korean artillery units and manning border crossings. As for vehicle numbers I think you'll find replacements are coming faster from Russia than Ukraine. Same goes for boots on the ground. So what new tools of war does Ukraine have now that are effective on the battlefield? Motorcyles and quad bikes? Yes. They are using and training for these. I remember posters on here saying how badly off Russian forces were because they were using motorcylces. Same with FPV drones.

Please keep posting what you think your knowledge is of what's going on in the Ukraine-Russian war. It's very enlightenining to your complete lack of knowledge in this regard.

It is obvious Ukraine does not use the old style Russian tactics of using their troops as cannon fodder........

Russia has got virtually nowhere in 3.5 years, yet you still go on about how they are winning.

Didn't it take the Russians just a tad longer to get to Berlin, using millions of men against a vast, powerful army.........?

 

So what has gone wrong this time, oh wise one against Ukraine, an ex. Soviet member.......🤭

Russia is winning the ground battle and the war of attrition. This is undeniable to anyone with an ounce of common sense. Slowly yes but this is the nature of attritional war. Again you obviously do not know what attritional war is. As for WWII this was a war of manouver not a war of attrition. WWI on the Western Front was a war of attrition. As I said the more you post the more you show your lack of understanding.
