  2. When you think you’re winning a marathon, and that the end is near, you don’t just stop. Sometimes, you even speed up.

  3. Wasn’t he vice president when Russia invaded Crimea and they pretty much ignored it?

  4. Foolish is the one who thinks that Trump is consistent. What he thinks and what he does are separate things. He may say he believes russia will stop (this is what his electorate want to hear). But he knows and he wants them to continue while he and his buddies are doing everything they can to help them. He can not say what he actually thinks and believes cause that would make him impeached.

  5. This is the one thing Romney was right about when he ran for president. Putin wants to bring the band back together. Europe is finally is planning to stop buying Russian gas in 2027. That has taken far too long. Unfortunately, stopping Russia is not a priority for Trump and Europe has been so dependent on Russian gas that they haven’t been able to defund Putin and they will continue to put money in his pocket, funding his ability to attack Eastern Europe for at least another year.

  6. It will encourage him if Putin gains anything from Ukraine. It was a gambit – one he must lose, publicly.

  7. “I had a nice call with Mr. Chancellor Hitler, we agreed on a lot of things and we are working together to end this horrible war in Czechoslovakia that would have never happened if I was President, Czechoslovakia should have never stated this war and should’ve just helped Adolf secure a lasting peace with a united Germany, both sides though will have to take concessions, Czechoslovakia should end this horrible war and agree to give up Sudetenland and stop the warmongering, and Germany’s concession is to not take more of Czechoslovakia, Art of the Deal.” – Donald J. Trump in 1938, if he was President, presumably.

  8. And yet he specifically made sure that ukraine got enough weapons to turn it onto a stalemate as opposed to an utter defeat for russia.

  9. Just call him a dumb ass Joe, you don’t have to hold back. 

  10. Ffs Biden – you said something reasonable.
    Now the Orange Baffoon has to do the opposite, just to “piss off the libs”…

    Seriously, we live in the dumbest timeline, ever.

  12. This bitch had almost 3 years to make sure we dont get to this point.

  13. Europe have been fighting the craziest wars for a thousand years now suddenly when it matters the most again they all forget how to do it, and just let russia do whatever they want, kind of pathetic

  14. You should have given Ukraine what they needed instead of teasing it along.

    You knew the monster in Putin and his poodle in your back yard.

    You shortchanged their survival knowing fully well that the traitor that Trump could follow and destroy Ukraine’s chances of survival… whilst doing Putin’s bidding… and that he certainly did.

    Too little too late.

    Live with that.

  15. So you are telling me appeasement doesn’t work? Yea, it is pretty obvious to most people.

    But this is pretty funny coming from the guy that chose to appease Republicans by not going guns blazing with the full power of the US government against the guy that tried to violently overthrow the US government, resulting in Trump being able to run for re-election in the first place.

    You had your chance to prevent all this and your choices resulted in what we have now.

  16. Putin can’t even beat the Ukrainians. If the Europeans had any brains, they would’ve stopped buying Russian oil and natural gas three years ago. It would’ve starved Putin‘s economy and he would’ve capitulated, but the EU is into the endless war machine. Also just like the Democrats and RINOs in America are. They gotta keep that war machine cash flowing so they can skim off the top.

  17. i would say most people have no idea how large the scope of the current russian attack on every country around the world is and how people are in general unaware of their role in this is.

  18. ruzia will never stop until it’s stopped, they changed nothing in the past five hundered years, always invading its neighbours, killind their people and stealing their land

    ruzia will not stop until it’s stopped by an overwhelming show of force – bc the only thing they understand and respect is violence

  19. Well, that is a question.

    Like Im pretty sure, that he does not want to stop after Ukraine.

    But his army got so destroyed, and he is just holding with everything he got, to pretent like he did not lost.

    Is he really able to get Ukraine (post enough military to keep it under control) and still have enough spare to attack Nato/EU countries?

    And is he really young enough to have enough time to rebuild a attack with new modern force?

    At this point Im pretty convinced, that no matter how UA war ends, it will be last Putins war.

  20. Has there ever been an occasion where a former president (not on the campaign trail) criticizes the current one? Because this dipshit seems to have them all calling out his terrible decisions

  22. >Former US President Joe Biden has described his successor Donald Trump’s stance on Russia’s war against Ukraine as a modern form of appeasement, warning that this could encourage other European countries to begin making concessions to Russia.

    >**Source:** Biden in an interview with the [BBC](https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c0m9mvemxrwo), as reported by European Pravda

    >**Details:** Since taking office, Trump has adopted a markedly different stance from Biden on the war, suggesting that Ukraine should consider ceding territory to Russia in the name of peace.

    >”It is modern-day appeasement,” Biden said of Trump’s approach.

    >In his view, Kremlin ruler Vladimir Putin considers Ukraine “part of Mother Russia. He believes he has historical rights to Ukraine…”

    >”He can’t stand the fact that […] the Soviet Union has collapsed. And anybody who thinks he is going to stop is just foolish.” 

    >While in office, Biden faced criticism over his handling of the war in Ukraine. Some in Kyiv, as well as certain allies and UK commentators, argued that he provided Ukraine with enough support to resist the invasion, but not enough to secure a decisive victory — possibly out of concern that Putin might resort to nuclear weapons if pushed too far.

    >”We gave them [Ukraine] everything they needed to provide for their independence,” Biden said. “We were prepared to respond, more aggressively, if in fact Putin moved again.”

    >He said he had aimed to avoid the prospect of “World War III through nuclear powers”, adding: “We did avoid it.”

    >”What did Putin do when things got really tough for him? He threatened the use of tactical nuclear weapons. This is not a game of roulette,” the former US president said.

    >**Background:** Earlier, Trump’s Special Envoy for Ukraine and Russia, Keith Kellogg, [proposed the idea](https://www.pravda.com.ua/eng/news/2025/05/7/7510989/) of a demilitarised zone jointly controlled by Ukraine and Russia.

  23. If/when Putin asks for Alaska, Trump would gladly hand it over it if it means appeasing his master.

  24. It’s funny watching Americans still think trump doesn’t work directly for Putin
