Trump just called Putin to see what he is allowed to promise Zelensky

Yeah, well, that’s my take on this:

Anything that could be accomplished, which will probably be nothing, could be done by a phone call.
There is no guarantee that he won’t be imprisoned or poisoned. Don’t say it couldn’t happen. We have seen plenty of things that couldn’t happen, happen.
