  1. Is it really so unusual? When Putin basically spat in his face repeatedly by faking ceasefires and stalling on negotiations for the last 4 months, Trump still wagged his tail like a dog. 

  2. Trump is a Russian asset. If he isn’t then he’s acting EXACTLY like a Russian asset would so he is regardless.

  3. It’s not unusual, and it’s not because Trump is a Russian pawn. It’s in Trump’s interests to avoid taking a hard position against any party for as long as possible. This avoids Trump running afowl of either the anti-Putin hawks or pro-Putin Russophiles in the Republican party. Trump doesn’t want to alienate either group of Republicans. Thus, prevarication and delay is the actual goal.

    If the conflict resolves itself while Trump continues to delay taking a side, so much the better (the way it is resolved, and in who’s favor is irrelevant to Trump). There is nothing to be gained by coming down hard on either the Ukrainians or Russians, from Trump’s point of view. Either option will result of rifts in Republican ranks. Trump doesn’t want Ben Shapiro attacking him for being a Russian tool, but neither does he want Tucker Carlson ranting about being manipulated by Zelensky.

  4. Unusual? When has he ever stood up for Putin?
    He’s Putins bitch, and they’re not even trying to hide it.

  5. In Europe people are busy with the European Song Contest, next winner of the champions league, national elections, Trumps tariffs etc. while WW3 is building up.

    No one is really peparing besides Poland and the Baltics.

    We are doing the same mistake as back in 2022 when all EU experts said that Putin will not attack Ukraine.

    “US will not walk away from NATO”
    “Putin will not attack NATO”

    etc.

    All bullshit.

    EU is ready to get graped. Free money, women and stuff to steal, weaklings and no real defence after Poland.

  9. It is known that Trump and GOP are on Putin side and only interested it forcing Ukraine to surrender

  10. He’s just following orders to butt out like a good little asset. 🇺🇦

  11. Trump is there to soak up the pro-Russia vote and fail them, in my opinion. He still has to play a role.

  12. Trump doesn’t realize how weak he looks. A lot of people are saying it.

  13. Unusual relative to how he treats others…god damn the reading comprehension in this sub sometimes.

  15. Trump, Netanyahu, and Putin make poliyical decisions to stay out of jail.

  16. My boss has had me sitting in the shop regularly waiting for orders. How’s this different?

  17. Unusual patience? Did you miss all actions of agent Krasnov during last day/weeks/months?
