    Russia is not budging an inch from its demands, which amount to Ukraine’s surrender without any significant security guarantees and with massive vulnerability to future attacks… and since Russia presumably has dirt on Trump, he is now trying everything to “end” the war by forcing Ukraine to give up its demands and surrender.

      It’s fantastic and absolutely bonkers how many of the world’s problems will be solved once Trump finally returns to the Earth. How can one man, with so few working brain-cells, cause so much damage and death and chaos.

        Because he is not alone, there are thousands of people standing behind him, wearing him like a puppet to achieve their goals.

      I don’t think Putin has any dirt on Trump. I think Trump is just desperate for Putin’s approval.

        I was skeptical of it all until all the new light that the Epstein files shed on Trump’s involvement. Now it seems pretty likely that Russia was privy to that info too, including info that hasn’t been released publicly.

          But it’s not like the blackmail material would matter. Trump knows he won’t suffer any consequences whatsoever for his involvement.

            I don’t think that’s true.

            Look at how he clams up and attacks anyone who asks him about it.

            He can’t even just lie and say there’s nothing there, he has to go on the offensive.

            He’s extremely scared of people finding out the truth

            Maybe it could make a difference internationally; other nations don’t seem to have that much of a problem dealing with fascism, but might have a harder time justifying dealing with pedos.
