  1. Europe needs to show Trump that he is not the leader of the free world IMO

  2. yes he did and if you were expecting anything else from Trump, you were doomed from the start. Trump is not an ally of anyone but himself and Putin.

  3. Maybe it’s time to put grandpa in the old folks home !

  4. Trump is doing everything possible to put Ukraine into a position where they look like the bad guy.

  5. To be honest, I don’t see any real chance for peace talks that don’t involve Russia’s unconditional capitulation and dismantling of the Putin mafia regime. The case against Russia is so clear on all levels that anything short of full Russian defeat is going to destroy the foundation on which hope for humanity itself rests.
