Donald Trump has said that he and Vladimir Putin have agreed to begin negotiations to broker a ceasefire in Ukraine, later adding that it was unlikely Kyiv would win back all its territory or join Nato if a deal is to be reached.

Trump said that he was “OK” with Ukraine not having Nato membership and that it was “unlikely” that Ukraine would take much land back in the negotiations.

Russia “took a lot of land, and they fought for that land and they lost a lot of soldiers”, he told reporters later in the Oval Office.

Jesus! He just says he’s going to cut a deal, giving Russian he lands they hold, NO chance for a NATO membership for Ukraine.

It’s everything Putin could dream of!

4. I read a post here today that the Uk, France, Germany, Spain and many other European countries

Signed a contract/treaty that they would step up support for Ukraine in our absence. I hope that they, very loudly and clearly, denounce any attempt by Putin n this president to divvy up Ukraine to the oppressor. I hope they step in and make Ukraine a member..even an honorary member..to the EU and NATO. I’m dreaming but I just want to see some serious pushback from them with consequences

5. So if you fight to take another's land, you are entitled?

According to the Fucking Felonious Grifter: Russia “took a lot of land, and they fought for that land and they lost a lot of soldiers”

Territorial Sovereignty no longer exists, right? So next he will send troops to die, so he can have Greenland...or Canada...or the Panama Canal?

The logic of a demented criminally sociopathic narcissist.

6. What Happens If Ukraine Refuses The Terms?

And what about the NATO nations? Trump may find out that he is not the hot shit he thinks he is.
