No Matter What Happens In Tomorrow's Summit Between Trump And Putin

the leftist lemmings have already received their Putin puppet narrative, and are just waiting for the green light. Should be entertaining.

But here's the reality...
• Trump pressured the EU to stop buying Russian oil, going from about 27% in 2021 to around 3% in 2025.
• The Russian economy is currently on the brink of collapse.
• The Russian people are fed up with the war.
• Trump still has additional economic sanctions as further leverage.

This 👇

As Trump said, he'll know within a few minutes if Putin is serious about peace or not.

Funny how everything Trump did to punish Russia failed spectacularly. Funny thing. I am not a leftist or a rightist as far as that goes. I try to look at both sides and decide based on the evidence. In this case I more support Russia than the US. Not trying to be anti American just that Russia has much greater justification for its action than does the US under Biden or Trump.
@hippyjoe1955 Well, the US and NATO aren't innocent bystanders in this conflict, but all of that predates Trump's presidency.

Not sure where the Trump punishments aren't working. He's only recently started by getting Europe to stop buying as much oil. India is likely Trump's next Area of focus. Russia's oil revenue is what's financing their side of the war.

@hippyjoe1955 I have to disagree, no one can justify what Putin has done.
@hippyjoe1955 The only way to punish Putin is choke Russia's economic life line. We'll see if Vlad comes to the table in good faith.

@BizSuitStacy Except the US can't choke Russia's economy. It has been trying to do that for years and Russia continues to thrive. The only question in my mind is if the US will be acting in good faith since it is the aggressor in this case. Without the US there would never have been a war in Ukraine.

@fanuc2013 If you knew the history and not the American propaganda you would know that the Russian armed forces were greeted in Eastern Ukraine with a "WHAT TOOK YOU SO LONG". Eastern Ukraine has been under attack by Western Ukraine since 2014. The people in Eastern Ukraine then held a referendum asking to leave Ukraine and join Russia. The referendum was about 80% in favour of joining Russia.
@hippyjoe1955 C'mon...they weren't trying all that hard. You know how much globalists love war. The problem is much bigger than the US.

@BizSuitStacy Russia didn't donate any money to any US politicians. The US politicians aren't honest enough to be bought. Nice graphics though. Did you know the cold war ended in the 1990s?
@hippyjoe1955 wake up Joe...remember the Uranium One deal?

@hippyjoe1955 and the Clinton foundation took in a massive donation.

@BizSuitStacy Which proves????? The cold war is over and Clinton is absolutely corrupt. Next.
@hippyjoe1955
Which proves?????
that the US wasn't trying very hard to use sanctions choke the Russian economy. Please Joe...try to keep up with your points you're making.
hippyjoe1955 · 70-79, M
@BizSuitStacy Which proves that the US would hurt itself more with the sanctions than it would Russia. The US is in for a shock as its dollar loses reserve currency status.
@hippyjoe1955
Which proves that the US would hurt itself more with the sanctions
That doesn't even make sense.

Trump continues to negotiate peace around the world. I'd give real sanctions a chance - assuming they're necessary.

All this is speculation until we know how the meeting went.

@BizSuitStacy So about the peace that Trump is famous for. Can you cite some examples? I can't find any.
@hippyjoe1955 so far this year...


Abraham Accords first term
hippyjoe1955 · 70-79, M
@BizSuitStacy So now riddle me this Batman. How many of those wars were started or aided by US involvement? Dig deep enough and you will find that most of them were the result of US interference including India/Pakistan which conveniently was a dry run to test weapons. The American kit was found to be inferior but Israel decided to go ahead with its attack on Iran anyways.
hippyjoe1955 · 70-79, M
@BizSuitStacy So you do know that the Abraham accords were the impetus for the Oct 7 attacks don't you?
hippyjoe1955 · 70-79, M
@BizSuitStacy Then that little thing about Israel and Iran. You do know that Israel was begging for a ceasefire since Iran was pounding the snot out of it.
