1. Forgive me if I don't believe this.

Unless Krasnov wanted to know if Ukraine was planning on going deeper into Russia and then Krasnov could relay the message to Putin.

5. Putin is learning what everyone eventually learns about Trump

He absolutely can not be trusted. He will stab Putin in the back on whatever deal they had as easily as he changes his mind on what socks he wants to wear.

16. Zelensky also know this about Trump

Is that why we saw a lot of drone attacks in the last couple weeks by Ukraine?

Zelensky should for sure take advantage of the situation. Because he should know that Trump can change on a dime. Some new call from his boyfriend in Moscow and he's suddenly back on the Ukraine are the aggressors and don't want peace....train. (And telling Putin in private he has cart blanche to bomb the shit out of Ukraine's people)

2. Trump asked "Zelensky if Kyiv could strike Moscow if the U.S. provided long-range weapons"?

Trump is certifiably insane.

[BaronChocula]

9. My exact same first impression n/t

Ordinarily a change of heart would be welcomed, but with Demented Don it's unsettling. This guy can just do anything at the spur of the moment. This country is teetering.

3. The fool let Netanyaku drag us into attacking Iran, but Iran doesn't yet have nukes like Putin.

The cowardly repukes in Congress need to stop this fool before Russian nukes come raining down.

[Wuddles440]

4. I call Bullshit on this report!

[Mr. Evil]

6. If he asked so secretly,

how come we're reading about it?

Putin goads Krasnov TSF to ask Zelenskyy if he has long range capabilities. Krasnov TSF then relays it to Putin. Putin's easy intel. KrasnovTSF is literally dripping stupid every time he takes a breath.

[CTyankee]

7. Sweet Jesu!

What is next with this idiot? It just gets worse and worse with him....

[Torchlight]

8. Immediately after the call, Zelenskyy rolls over and giggles to Olena,

"Weird call. I think Putin dumped him again, just before prom this time. Sounds serious. I'm sure they'll work it out."

[alittlelark]

10. Maybe Putin has threatened to expose the pedoprez

U just KNOW he has a dump truck full of filth on kraznov….. maybe even a copy of the Epstein files.

[bluestarone]

11. IF he did ask this, i say there is a reason why. My thought is

TSF would blame Zelensky, then let russia use a nuke on Ukraine! Zelensky is smarter than TSF ever will be!!

[electric_blue68]

17. Don't think there would a nuke strike bc thw winds can easly blow radiation back into Russia. Otoh...

maybe Putin wouldn't care.

I sure hope nothing like that happens!

[hueymahl]

12. There is a lot of misinformation and hypocrisy shrouding this war

But that is true for all war.

Hopefully this one will end soon. The death and injury to these young men and women is heartbreaking.

[twodogsbarking]

13. Trump's gonna fuck up your countries like he has fucked up ours.

[Srkdqltr]

14. There is a lot of stuff he supposedly says just to get all you knee-jerk folks going.

[Marie Marie]

15. If true, Trump better not get too cocky. Putin is waaay smarter and even more evil than Trump could ever hope to be

and in a battle of wits, well- I think we all know.... Better stay away from windows, have all your lousy food tested for polonium, and make sure that luxury jet doesn't have any undercover Russian mechanics doing the AF 1 upgrades.
