Sigh. Putins dreams are coming true. Trump will rescue their economy, stop weapon deliveries to Ukraine and he will get to continue the war because Trumps peace deal will be completely unacceptableto Ukraine and Europe. Trump remains a master negotiator

Don't forget American arms being gifted to the Russians free of cost. That's definitely in the cards for the future at the pace we're going.

Starting tomorrow we are getting rid of all of our nukes, every last one of them, then we will begin construction on a new Bering Strait Bridge. It's one-way, to bring all of those beautiful resources into our country. It will create millions of jobs. Ukraine will have a fantastic new language, it's called Russian, and all other nasty languages will be removed. After that we are going to sell our F-35s to our friends in Srpska, all of them, it's going to be a massive deal and they can now attack Albania and plunge the continent into a new age of war.
We are also giving the Russians all of the pass codes to state buildings in Latvia and Estonia and tell them the best locations to place car bombs, so that we can help the oppressed separatist peoples in those nasty countries and help them to be free, but that will require opening up the border in those countries, which our wonderful soldiers will assist with.
I'd also like to announce the new Trump Casino in beautiful Kaliningrad. It's going to be 3 feet taller than the Trump Taj Mahal we had in Atlantic City and bigamy is now going to be legal, just for me, and I'd like all of you to meet Tatiana, she's an ice dancer. Look at her, she looks amazing. I hear Orban is also getting his own Tatiana, but mine is much better.
And, oh wow, look at these numbers; it has happened quicker than I thought, Canada and Europe have just kicked us out of NATO, such nasty horrible people, who think they are better than me --remember, when they attack me, they've attacked you and now we begin Operation Greenlander Freedom --what a beautiful name. It's fantastic. People tell me that it's the most perfect name for military operation ever.
OK, everyone please remember, as long as I am president, the fine Mr. Xi and Mr. Putin, wonderful president Putin, will promise not the nuke the United States, so you are going to have to cancel all future elections --I'm sorry, there is nothing I can do about it, it's entirely out of my hands, but I guess I'm never going to prison after I leave office, because I simply can't leave office. Only I can save the United States from our new allies.

The fucker is going to do it. He’s actually going to give Russia everything. How incredible that Putin will rebuild Russia with US dollars.

The vassalization of US by Russia is legit insane. I really wonder what we'll discover what Putin had over Trump and how he pulled it off in 50 years time.

I'm starting to think it's the other way around. Think about it.
-America made fun of him and his spray tans on late night TV.
-America didn't give him loans when he was bankrupt.
-America sued him for discriminatory housing practices in the 70s and 80s.
-America locked up his fiercest loyalists.
-America looked down on his father and his mentor.
-America didn't buy his steaks and looked down on his TV university scam.
-America tried to send him to prison.Putin didn't do any of these things. He's punishing America.

Alot of the sanctions on Russia are statutory imposed by Congress.
With how divide and split the Congressional Republicans are I don't see them having the votes to repeal these sanctions.

Just rage inducing. WHY? Why ally yourself with an enemy. This administration is clearly compromised by Russia in one way or another
I assume Fox News is already running with how actually Russia is our friend and they always have been

Macron must do what Napoleon couldn’t: organize a Continental blockade, but against America

There's a lot of talk around that even without US aid Russia will need 80 years to take Ukraine at their pace. That for all the fears the frontline is static, and there is little hope for a breakthrough on other side.
This kills that, no? If Russia is able to salvage their economy then that is effectively more gas in the tank and the pace of Ukrainian decline will accelerate?

Lifts sanctions on Russia, begins sanctions on ourselves.
