This is another in a series of threats against Putin that he will never act upon.
He gives it away about two thirds of the way thru his tweet when he says it is Bidens and Zelenskyys WAR.
Somebody please tell our national Alzheimers patient that it was Putin who invaded Ukraine!
The war will only end when Putin withdraws from Ukraine.

(77,291 posts)It's a bit too lucid, plus he doesn't do 3rd person very often because he wants to say "I" & "me" so badly.

(77,291 posts)The EU seems constructed more like the US articles of confederation.
The countries still have little reason to act any other way but in their own interests.

Trump Backs Off Promise to Sanction Russia and Again Blames Zelensky for Invasion time.com/7317021/trum...

Trump has repeatedly threatened to punish Russia with new sanctions if it refuses to reach an agreement with Ukraine, but has failed to follow through as Moscow has ignored several deadlines.
Now, Trump says he will only sanction Russia when all NATO countries stop buying oil from Russia and place sweeping tariffs on Chinameasures that are unlikely to be met.....
As he has in the past, Trump blamed former President Joe Biden and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky for Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
"This is not TRUMPS WAR (it would never have started if I was President!), it is Bidens and Zelenskyys WAR. I am only here to help stop it," he wrote.

(980 posts)I would suggest he doesnt know it, but Im pretty sure he knows he is Putins puppet and has to put up with it or hes dead, figuratively or literally. Im also pretty sure the rest of the world leaders know it too.

(9,205 posts)still has the energy to effortlessly move goalposts with such monotonous regularity.
He knows all about timewasting. These performative declarations when NATO and Ukraine's backers already have internal forums for figuring out these issues are pure bullshit to make it seem like he gives a fuck about anybody and anything but himself and his own self-interest.
He's all but irrelevant. It's long gone time to complete the process.

(26,618 posts)In the early days of the war.
Trump, unable to defend Poland's air space, issues vague sanctions and threats. Appears unable to get all of NATO on board. Probably because he's waging economic war against them.
