We are being gaslit by trump and the media on Russia/Ukraine in breathtaking fashion
These are the facts: :Last Friday was a deadline set by trump for putin to stop attacking Ukraine. He did not. This Friday he will be rewarded for ignoring trump's ultimatum with a highly coveted face to face meeting on US soil. He has been asked for no concessions at all, and in fact trump has already caved by excluding Zelensky from the meeting. The only concessions being discussed by the trump administration are from the American side. We will continue to withhold funding from Ukraine, Ukraine will be required to give up land, and now trump is dangling mineral rights in Alaska for putin.
That's what's happening regardless of how the press sanewashes it. I feel like I'm in the Twilight Zone.
