US president admits to concern Russian counterpart does not want to ‘stop the war’ and ponders new approach to Moscow

Donald Trump and Volodymyr Zelenskyy have sat down for a face-to-face talk in the opulent halls of a Vatican basilica to discuss a possible ceasefire, after which the US president accused his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin, of not wanting to “stop the war”.

The White House described Trump’s meeting with the Ukrainian leader before Pope Francis’s funeral as “very productive”, while Zelenskyy said on X that the talk with the US president was symbolic and had the “potential to become historic, if we achieve joint results”.

It was the first time that Zelenskyy and Trump had met face to face after a frosty February encounter in the White House where Trump and the US vice-president, JD Vance, berated the Ukrainian leader and accused him of ingratitude for US aid.

Took him long enough.

What?! Noooo. Putin would never lead you along.

Wow, PigBoy almost showed signs of sentience for a second there.

Edit: Putin tapped him a long time ago and continues to do so on a regular basis.

You know, we famously have a military that would be good for this.

ROFL. What a shit show. I want off this planet. This is the new reality.

This manchild is one of the dumbest people in existence. The only people more idiotic are the people who voted for him.

YOU DON'T SAY!

Yeah, but as I said in another post on the day of the meeting, this scenario was pretty predictable and that's just this week's statement. After you talk to Putin or your cheerleaders of chaos you'll then condemn Zelensky and Ukraine again.

Not a single own thought, only "who last talked to Donnie". And Zelensky, Macron, Starmer and others have the disadvantage there since they don't live on the White House or have a special hotline straight to the Oval Office like Putin does.

Meanwhile an unnamed soldier on the battlefield doesn't know if he's gonna live or die today, not knowing his life is subject to the whims of a childish leader who can't handle global-scale power.

A POTUS, arguably the most influential seat on the planet who can make Russia back the fuck off by default, occupied by an empty shell of a puppet who doesn't have a mind of his own, who needs to be told what to think.

Honestly makes me think if they could get Melania out of the White House, it might be more effective than getting Trump out.

You actually think she's a huge influence to him?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Every once in awhile he accidentally realizes something

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 week ago (2 children)

It’s so much more frightening to think that he actually doesn’t know what’s going on. That he doesn’t even have a poorly sketched plan. Could he really not have more than a day ahead?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

In his own words, he only has the concepts of a plan.

How do any of us sleep at night?

I'm not sure he has object permanence.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 days ago

This is true, it's unlikely to have object permanence

We have only seen object permanence in highly intelligent creatures such as crows

Did the orange cats share their OneOrangeBraincell with him for a moment there?
