  1. Because there is nothing they can offer but to go home.

  2. America is projecting weakness under Trump.

    It’s humiliating.

  4. Putin lost 2/3rds of his military ground weapons. He’s lost his economy. And yet Republicans still allow Putin to order Trump around. Reagan is rolling in his grave.

  5. This is like the 9th thing trump has caved on in his first month. Caving trump is the weakest president

  6. Because Steve and Trump are just looking to keep their families’ money laundering businesses going

  7. How many lies did Jake allow him to spew with no push back? This is “CNN”.

  9. Hey, maybe this is a question the team should have given just a tiny bit of attention *before* fucking starting negotiations in Switzerland and Saudi Arabia?

    But then again, I’m no Master of the Art of the Deal, so what do I know.

  10. It’s probably something far darker like Russia signing a deal to leave Canada and Greenland alone once the US invades them.

  12. Tapper let him off with that, as well as with saying that Russia was ‘provoked’.

    This is journalism. This is CNN.

  13. because there isn’t any. putin controls this entire situation including trump. he told trump what he wants and he’s about to get it. concessions not needed when you’re in control.

  14. Trump will force Ukraine to capitulate and will threaten Norway with tariffs to give him the Nobel Peace Prize

  15. Those familiar with Russian history might recall Peter III, who inherited the Russian throne during the Seven Years War and, promptly, withdrew Russia’s armies from Prussia, despite them having some pretty significant military success against Frederick the Great.

    He reigned for about 180 days before his wife overthrew him and took the throne for herself. Good ol’ Catherine II.

  16. Everything trump does benefits Russia. Difficult to find a single policy this term or last that did not.

  17. It seems apparent that Russia has played Trump. They know what the most important thing is to him; money. Reopening ties between Russia and the USA carries the promise of economic opportunities for American companies, and perhaps the Trump corporation. And Trump looks at Ukraine as a waste of money that he wants repayment for. So Trump sides with Russia.

    And if Russia wants to invade Poland next? Trump doesn’t care because there is no near term monetary incentive to protect Poland. What Trump fails to see is that America has prospered under the current, stable political order. And that allowing Russia and China political influence over Europe, Asia and Africa might result in less economic prosperity for America in the long term

  19. I think the technical term for this in the business, is ‘unconditional surrender’

  20. The Art of the Squeal

    Trump is the Russian asset we always knew him to be.

  21. Agent Krasnov has his orders, unfortunately. Anything else and fat man goes window.

  22. Agent Krasnov has truly delivered a win for Putin and his KGB

  23. So let’s just say Zelensky agreed to giving up 50% of their mineral reserves, it feels like Trump would just hand most of those over to Putin.

  26. Give every and take nothing … it’s the art of the deal baabbbyy!!

  27. Art of the deal, if you’re selling out your country.

  28. Trump is getting worse at international peace deals. I mean, at least he got the Taliban to promise to “be nice”.

  29. This is simple. Behind closed doors, Putin makes Trump feel powerful and respected and liked. European leaders laughed at him. That’s all.

    This isn’t about minerals, or NATO contributions – or anything remotely strategic at all. There’s no deeper thought in his actions than him, and his emotions and feelings.

    Putin is playing the game. Europe isn’t.

    I think Trudeau is trying to play the game, but doesn’t want to alienate anyone especially Europe.

  30. Why is anyone surprised? The last time Trump “negotiated” a deal, he freed 5,000 Taliban fighters, including the current head of the Taliban. In exchange, the Taliban got Afghanistan without needing to fire a single shot as Trump promised *all* coalition forces would leave. Of course, he kept the Afghanistan’s government out of those “negotiations” as well. Trump *only* deals with dictators and terrorists.

    Surrender is the only maneuver Trump recognizes, followed by blaming everyone else for his incompetence.

  31. I think Ukraine and Europe should just ignore whatever deal US comes up with and keep fighting Russia without US support

  32. The art of the deal. What a master negotiator Trump is. /s

  33. So weak. When they have Russia on the ropes but Russia has Krasnov on their side…..

  34. Putin’s ordered his asset Trump to be a good doggie and fetch Ukraine.

  35. That’s because Putin is offering Trump business deals.

  36. Dear conservatives, congrats on making your nation look like a timid and weak Putin simp. Who knew America just wanted to be 1979 Uzbekistan.

  37. I have a peace plan for Israel and Palestine. We can just give everything Palestine wants in a treaty and Israel can commit 500 billion of their natural resources to the US. If Republicans don’t like this then they must like war and spending money on wars we should never have been in.

  38. I want the news to start properly calling shit what it is. Trump is surrendering to Russia. Trump failed to get Russia to make any concessions. Trump is showcasing an extreme weakness in negotiation. Start saying the quiet bit out loud or it will only get worse

  39. The only concession Russia is making is not revealing the blackmail they have on Trump.

  42. Yes because Trump is a traitor who works for Russia…how is this a hard fucking concept. Tons of evidence and this shit with Ukraine is the most obvious of all. If you can’t see it they you are blind as a bat and dumb as a stump.

    Putins is weak. He’s going to lose. Why else do you think Trump is pushing so hard to end war. They need it to end now before Putin loses.
