Due to me clicking on that he's earned some money. Also due to me clicking on that, it reinforces my view that he's a c**t.
Not that it needed reinforcing, it's just that every thing he says is making me more angry.
We'll be giving into Trump & Putin, if Putin gets any of the land he's stolen & Trump gets any minerals he's trying to blag off Ukraine.

What a load of tosh. Trump can’t admit that he’s failed with Putin. All he’s got is a limited ceasefire agreement - probably after begging Putin to at least give him something that he can present to the world as a success. And unless I missed it, Donald made no mention in his statement about the fate of the encircled Ukrainian soldiers that he was trying to save.
It p1sses me off immensely that he thinks everyone who listens to him and / or reads what he or his government says has the same level of Neanderthal intelligence as his MAGA followers. But it’s becoming increasingly obvious that he’s being played by Putin.

Yes, yes, but when do you think Trump will get the Nobel Peace Prize he covets?

30 day ban on hitting energy is holding up well, Russia fires one off within an hour, allegedly Ukraine responds. Or is it a false flag?

I don't see what's good about it, unless they have a friendly audience. They're equivalent to a rapist saying their victim shouldn't have worn sexy clothes.

Yeah I know. I meant they're consistent at their attempts, it's what they do each and every day - some mainstream media even fall for reporting it as fact, and Trump probably just falls for it.

May Trump rest in Peace

May Trump rest in Peace

God rest his soul - should it ever be found

As soon as Elon has bought the awards or set up a new peace awards committee

Never mind that, he’s won the chance for the US to play Russia at hockey!!

That’s the point you know Putin is just laughing at him.

If, IF, there is an end to this war I really hope they have the sense to award the peace prize to Zelenskiy and ignore Trump. He doesn't deserve it and it would mega piss him off.

 

[SouthSaxon]

I would approve of them inventing a whole new prize, award it to Trump then immediately retire it. Call it the shit stirrer prize.

Blimey, which mainstream media examples are you thinking of? Obviously they report what Russia claim, but falling for it is a bit shocking.

Is there anything to say Ukraine has agreed to this?

No idea tbh.... lots of words and a lot of haze as to what is formal or just potential offers.

 

[Mellotron]

Is there anything to say Ukraine has agreed to this?

Or frankly Russia, for that matter - given they were the first to hit energy infrastructure straight after.

We have donald trump's word.

Maybe it's the glib delivery of some media...at least that's how I feel it. This morning, car radio news at 09.00, something like: "Last night Russia fired hundreds of drones at Ukraine, many of them hitting energy infrastructure. Yesterday, Russia agreed to a temporary ceasefire." (not actual quotes, just my recollection). These two sentences delivered as if there's no connection between them, no challenging inflection in her tone at all. I know she was 'just the news reader' and not an investigative journo, but blimey I'd like SOME colour put into the delivery.

 

[GoldstoneVintage]

Yesterday I met two Americans who were over here visiting a friend of mine. Gratifyingly, they were both vehemently anti Trump and pro Ukraine. In fact, one of them has been in Ukraine for the last couple of months, volunteering. I think there are a lot of Americans like this.

 

[raymondo]

Finland such a strong ally - they know what a Russian invasion means.

Sorry, I thought Zelenskiy would speak in English, but this must be meant for his home audience.

Could this be Putin inferring that possibly the US had a hand in it? I've been waiting for him to start sneakily driving a wedge slightly deeper between US and Europe.
