  1. Well, shit, next thing you’ll tell me that Trump won’t be able to stop the war in 24 hours either. He wouldn’t lie to me, would he?

  2. It’s not giving Trump the finger, it’s Putin playing with the toy he bought.

  3. These two clowns are, of course, acting in harmony together. This article is BS propaganda.

  4. The only leverage Trump has to “stop” the war is over Ukraine. Trump could cut Ukraine aid, actively punish any country helping Ukraine (e.g. tariffs, cancelling US weapons contracts, etc) and drop sanctions on Russia. That could bring an end to the war by forcing Ukraine into a surrender.

    Trump could even speed the end of the war even more by starting to ship weapons to Russia for use against Ukraine. That will bring about a swift end.

    Peace through surrender… Why didn’t anyone else think of that?

  5. Shocked I say, shocked, who could have ever seen this coming

  6. Here we go with the pretending to not be buttbuddy friends narative again

  7. Honestly, this article is a mess from a journalistic perspective. The headline alone — ‘Putin Gives Trump Massive Middle Finger’ — screams sensationalism. If you’re trying to report on geopolitics, maybe skip the WWE promo-level language. It feels more like an opinion piece designed to rile people up than actual reporting.

    It also relies heavily on secondary sources (NBC News, Washington Post, etc.) without offering any unique insights or firsthand information. It’s basically just a regurgitation of other articles, which makes it feel redundant. On top of that, they don’t even link to the original statements or data, so ‘trust me bro’ is the real source.

    The biggest issue, though, is how one-sided it is. It paints Trump and Putin as cartoonish villains without including any neutral or alternative perspectives. Like, even if you’re anti-Trump, you should want balanced reporting to actually understand the full picture. Contrast that with something like Politico’s take on Trump’s comments about Putin being ‘genius’ — they include quotes, context, and leave the editorializing to the readers.

    If you’re looking for actual analysis of U.S.-Russia relations and Ukraine, this isn’t it. It’s just red meat for people who already agree with the author. Feels lazy.

  8. It’s all a show Trump will give Russia our great state of Alaska to be friends

  9. Trump it’s been 24 hours why is the Ukraine war still going on

  10. Because Trump is only a FUCKING ACTOR… he’s not actually a billionaire oligarch that can sway Putin. But it appears that have of America still believes whatever Fox airs so Putin gets Europe…

  11. How is this the middle finger? Trump is on the side of Putin.

  12. Does Trump even care to stop the war? He’s elected; nothing else matters, except raiding the Treasury.

  13. Fake, fake fake gotta make it look like Russia had no part in screwing with America’s elections through Elon and Trump

  14. If Putin takes over Ukraine inflation will rise. He’ll control the regions bread basket, having food pricing control and food export power over numerous nations.

    African nations alone will be at his mercy.. he’ll keep them poor hungry and in debt. How will they pay? By giving him unrestricted mining access.

    He’s already manipulated them into it in various areas, it will only get worse.

  15. I really hope that all you maga supporters know that you voted for a weak, feeble, impotent old man. Putin just cucked Trump so hard. All you alpha males should be so pleased that your idea is a cuck bitch. lol have fun with that when he runs this country into the ground with his incompetence, just like his 6 bankruptcies. We all know ow that magas are too stupid to really know the truth about anything tho

  16. Putin’s state TV showed naked Melania when Trump’s election victory was confirmed. That was clue enough that they think the US is a joke.

  17. What? You mean Trump didn’t put a stop to it? Trump lied about ending the war on day 1 to gain votes!!!

    You dumb bastards. Sleep in the bed you made.

  18. Not sure you know how the US government works though…..

  19. Trump is a bullshit artist. Says anything. Does nothing. Sells out America to it’s enemies. That’s the brand.

  20. So the media believes that Trump would tell Putin what to do. Are they idiots?

  21. The difference is that Putin doesn’t give away all of his leverage the first time he gets a compliment.

  22. But he repealed and replaced Obamacare on day one in 2016 election and locked up Hilary ,definitely hired the best people , got infrastructure done , and left us with that zero deficit he promised

  23. Or this is a well just a sharade preconceived by both of them. They’ve been talking behind the scenes for years. Do you think they just became adversaries post election that Putin helped him with?

  24. I hope Putin keeps it up.

    It doesn’t matter if there really is some piss video. Trump has a complete inability to control himself if his ego is hurt.

    I’m sure is aware of that like everyone else, but what will and won’t trigger Trump is all over the place. Crossing my fingers.

  25. But republicans told me trump was gonna end all wars and foreign leadership would bow down to him!

  26. It goes like this, Donald does what his master wants – not the other way around.

  27. But trump said he could solve it in 24 hours even before inauguration. Trump wouldn’t lie would he? /s

  28. I didn’t fully understand the Ukraine war and why the US was fighting so hard against it until I realized that this is one of those times that we have learned from the past and I don’t think anyone has really done a good job of explaining it. When Hitler started consuming territories at the start of WW2 appeasement was the SOP for many nations and it wasn’t until it was practically too late that people started fighting back. In some respects we should want to support Ukraine because to not and allow Russia to expand without resistance could be as catastrophic as not limiting Germany almost a 100 years ago. I do wonder why no one has explained this and instead I had to look for this information on my own.

  29. Oh please, Trump never had any intention of doing anything but handing Putin Ukraine on a platter.

  30. But Trump has lots of power to end the war. All he has to do is withhold aid to Ukraine.

  31. Who actually believes that Trump told Putin to back off on Ukraine? Propaganda. Don’t believe a word coming out of the Trump administration​ vis a vis Russia.
