@ChristiJunior Telling Trump he can’t talk down to him (I’m not here to play cards) was absolutely childish.
@yomiel @griffith @ChristiJunior @Suzu trump doesn't speak ill of putin because he's got "more cards" than ukraine does. zelensky would do well to recognize that but he wants to just keep fighting "to the last ukrainian." if that's the way he wants to go out, i don't want to fund it. i don't see how keeping this war going is morally or politically acceptable.
if trump starts badmouthing putin, there is no path to peace that isn't through several orders of magnitude more war. it's not worth it.
Do you not find it weird how negotiations have started? He's already willing to cede already taken land to Russia. I'm curious what 'cards' you think Putin has here, beyond continuing the war.
Putin is offering NOTHING to Ukraine nor the US. We keep hearing of 'comprimise' on Zelensky's part, yet what compromise is the Russian Federation offering? And what 'cards' does Putin hold beyond to keep throwing his own citizens into war in Eastern Ukraine?
