...unless you are a (lousy) businessman who is only interested in money and power, then of course you want to negotiate.

The amazing thing is, that there are some people, who will never understand that. I call them azzholes.

Putin runs Trump and wants the show. It’s how he humiliates Trump as top dictator. Together they will publicly hog-tie the Ukrainian.

Why should he do that, if he hangs in there a bit longer Trump will offer him some of Poland, Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia!

Also a reminder: the Russian army is decimated and at its weakest point in a long time (ever?). Also Ukraine holds some Russian territory too, which is hilarious.

Bear in mind that if he did that he would not be able to have Russia conquer literally the whole world, and therefore that suggestion's not going anywhere. Imperialist swine that he is.

🌻🌻🌻 And then trump wouldn't be able to take any credit, which I am sure he will try to.

Before WW2 we tried appeasement. Look where that ended up. 😏

Difficult to negotiate anything when Trump is happy to give Putin everything he wants. Musk and his 🍊 spokesperson are no friends of Ukraine.

Current US Admin. see Ukraine incorrectly as an equal aggressor, they call it a war when it's an invasion. The syntax and nuance in the language used is very important especially if you're Ukrainian.

And then there is the rebuilding. Russia needs to pay reparations to the Ukrainian people for attacking them. Of course Trump will want a piece of that action.

A ceasefire and peace treaty suits Putin now. Even RUS can't keep losing men at this rate. There's a reason they brought in NK troops. RUS public are sick of the war. EUR needs to help UKR to get an OK settlement and then prepare for the next RUS aggression, knowing US can't be relied anymore.

I think the deal he’s trying to make is to extort as much as possible from Ukraine for his own oligarchy.

But how could Trump take credit for it? Oh, he'll find a way.

Exactly right. Russia attacked Ukraine so its up to Putin to end this war.

right? no one needed the orange dude to come along. it's all on russia.

Trump should remind him.

Well, actually, the war in the Donbass region wouldn't end if Russians suddenly disappeared. It was already raging long before & will continue long after. Crimea won't get automatic peace with sudden regime change after 10 years. So not much changes if Russia goes home, unless all their wars end.

Bullies tend to be cowards. Were Trump confronted properly, he would capitulate like the big baby he is. The image that I used is poor-quality AI. But it tells the truth well enough!

💯

Exactly!

🎯

If putin visits Washington, could he be arrested for war crimes?

I didnt and I'm embarrassed & want to apologize for our nation. He fooled the idiots ......again 😡

We here don't trust this administration either. I'm sorry we're all going to suffer

2001, when the US faught terrorism in Afghanistan, Europe was on their side immediately. Yesterday the Trump gangsters fucked Ucraine and Europe deep in the ass. Just deleted my Amazon account. Google and WhatsApp will follow. No money for US Nazi billionaires! #boycottUS #boycottTrumpgangsters

Maga are spoiled, ignorant children who take everything they have completely for granted.

Yes. Trump is right now what he hates the most: a sucker and looser.

Absolute.

This.

Well, nice point. Fairytale. Putin won’t stop the war, it would imply it lost the war.

Oh No....Trump will hand him Ukraine and whatever else he wants!! Don't hold your breath, it IS coming!

Too bad Trump doesn't get the message!

They did What ever they get now must be better than before But this topic for some reason seems mute

And I think they would love to go home

A reminder: You cant always get what you want. Just like Putin didnt.

Precisely! youtu.be/4q7O9lG23Lc?...

@anneapplebaum.bsky.social But the point of starting a war is not to just go home when you are bored. Ofcourse this will be used (together with trump) to extract as much value as possible. And then just repeat again. I thought we understood that you do not pay ransom?

If this was a game with no human consequences (&clearly Putin sees it this way) Ukraine is essential in restoring Russia’s power. It has significant resources and a strategic location.

history rhymes...in the Doha agreement the government of Afghanistan was ALSO not involved in the discussions. Basically Trump sold out the country to the Taliban...and in this case to Russia...and call it a win. Europe is on it's own from now on. The withdrawal from NATO is next.

Whadda great idea..!

It should be self-evident, to everyone, and it seems silly to keep repeating it, because the truth of the matter is so simple and clear. Anyone who sees any complexity in it has fallen for the propaganda to obfuscate the obvious: Russia is the aggressor, Ukraine their victim.

👏👏👏

He should negotiate to get all the MAGAts to move to russia and free up some space here in America

The Russian soldiers could all surrender !

Yes. And cease fire only means he will invade a third time.

The easiest is the hardest.

Oh you and your common sense ideas! Did you know that Trump invented the phrase “common sense?” And don’t cite Thomas Paine—he only exists in old-timey books and is therefore Fake News!

Yes, but "Russia lost tens of millions of people!" ...in WW2 (of which 1/3 were Ukrainians), don't they deserve at least 1/3 of Ukraine -for starters?

@anneapplebaum.bsky.social @pycomtois Elle ment. Les bombes sifflaient bien avant l'arrivée des "soldats de Putin".

Trump "I want peace in the world" Trump's truth "I don't believe in peace. I am king Humpty Dumpty and want world domination"

Some war reparations would be nice!

That's what our Prime Minister said today.

But that’s not in his world domination playbook. He’s already fulfilled the Manchurian candidate criteria.

But T2.0 demands 1/2 of Ukraine’s minerals-REVENGE RUN-partner w/Putin to take down Ukraine w/out given U a say like he did in Afghanistan-delights in being a tyrant. Also Hegseth said U can’t join NATO all for T2.0 under the table negotiations don’t ask for U input. www.cnn.com/2025/02/12/p...

The Russians are just little boys pretending they are big boys

I agree with JD Vance - Trump is America's Hitler

A rebellion within the Russian army could also put an end to this pointless war.

Tell tRump

And it is his international law obligation to end the war, which he unlawfully started.

but... but... but... who will get all their resources????

Netanyahu too!

Let’s have a serious conversation about what Europe can do for itself to ensure the continent’s security. Right now, not much without US support after years of reduced military budgets but it’s critical to develop now a multi-decade, united strategy on this asap.

Trump is following in the footsteps of Chamberlain and Daladier who thought they could maintain peace in Europe by giving German an area of Czechoslovakia where many ethnic Germans lived. This appeasement just encouraged Hitler to conquer more territory which led to millions of deaths and ruin.

Yes, he will need to be rewarded somehow. And 45 is just the guy to do it.

I doubt there will be negotiations but rather a takeover

Trump sticking his nose in - so desperate for the Nobel peace prize.

Reading your Twilight of Democracy - thank you

War criminals and murderous thugs rarely change their stripes. The world will be a much better place when Vladimir Putin is dead and gone.

Trump is like Putin. Trump is trying to overtake Canada. We have nothing usa needs from us he says , yet annexing us to be 51 state I say FO

We do not need any such reminder. But apparently the US government does.

It is that simple! They do not belong there!

Peace through weakness is the “end the war in one day” Trump plan. Among the many problems with this strategy is doesn’t bring peace; It brings the opposite.

Absolutely, and they can off out of Crimea too!

Flood the post office to let DonOld know we know who's in charge. Jill Winebanks said letters changed the tide during Watergate. We need to do more than social networking.

Yes

“Geopolitical victories take time to show.” You seem to be implying that you believe Putin is on the verge of achieving great things for Russia?

What strong guy? Zelinsky isn't backing him? Oh you must mean the insecure, narcissistic bully Trump. Bullies are weak.

100%. Trump saying this is a war UKRAINE should have not gone into. Gone into? They were attacked. We could have saved the world from Trump if he was just convicted by the senate in the 2nd impeachment.

There's no retirement for people like Putin. You distract the populace with war or religion.

Today NATO de facto ended. Who needs an ally who sells you to his gangster bro? #boycottUSA #boycottTrumpGangsters

With 850,000 soldiers lost, he’s not holding a strong hand. Unless. He’s playing poker with a guy who failed at casinos.

NATO would just start another...

These are not negotiations. These are business deals, trade-offs, and bids between Putin and Trump about who gets what out of Ukraine. Trump could care less about the consequences of a major war breaking out in Europe that WILL have great negative impacts on USA and the rest of the world.

I wish the EU would fast track Ukraine’s application to become a member but I also realize the implications of this are complicated. Putin is preventing Ukraine from getting into the EU or NATO, only able to do so because of the power trump has handed him.

#Truth

Instead he is bombing the security shelter of the Chernobyl ruins - clear signal to the world!

Thank you!

But tRump will be on board with him keeping all the land he has taken. Look out Greenland and Panama, tRump isn’t doing it for nothing.

Which is why Common Sense Isn't COMMON

Trump is a “Russian Asset” same for Tulsi Gabbard and Pete Hegseth. The words “Russian Asset,” should be on every elected Democrat’s lips every day for the next 4 years. Branding is literally everything and they don’t seem to know how to do it.

A reminder: the person in control of the usa thinks and acts like Putin. 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

Now we know how they felt when they saw the dark green Ford Falcons parked just outside their doors.

‘Cut & Run’ trump, giving up Ukraine. Putin’s Puppet.

Yep. I bet Ukraine doesn't even ask for reparations.

Putin doubled down in terms of control over the Russian people and support to oligarchs. 2014 aimed at Black Sea bases and bringing ports and additional resources into Russia.

Without strong security guarantees for Ukraine, the armistice will be worthless. That is why Ukraine will continue to fight, if these guarantees are not offered. By Ukrainian political scientist Mykola Ryabchuk ⬇️ desk-russie.info/2025/01/29/i...

Europe should stay with Ukraine. Economically and militarily. Ukraine is Europe. Trump cannot sell out Europe. We shouldn’t let him. Agressors should be stopped. We’ve been here before…

The FFOTUS has now been humiliated by both Musk and Putin. Bully being bullied

He started it. No provocation. He wants to take it over. Then take the next one after that.

Why would he do that, when donald will give him the victory he wants?

The United States is a Russian vassal state under the administration of a silicon valley tech bro.

Apart from treaties and negotiations about compensation payments, that is.

Not happening anytime soon. With Trump involved I’m sure we’ll see an escalation in violence and war crimes by Putin!!

I am hoping NATO steps in more
