LOL LOL LOL LOL.

I've got bad news for you. There are no minerals in Ukraine. Ending a war on the aggressors' terms is not peace, except in the Neville Chamberlain sense. Absolutely nobody in the free world sees the US as a leader, which is sort of a prerequisite to being a leader. In fact, most of our allies in the free world are drawing up concrete plans to ditch the US and let the US work on its own.

Trump will never, ever, ever, ever win a Nobel Prize for anything. Again, capitulation is not peace.

Well, so far, every single one of my predictions about the economy under Trump has come true. Exactly as I predicted, inflation is up, growth is down, interest rates are high, a recession looms, and the US labor market is becoming terrible.

Don't expect me to be wrong about this.
 
Completely agree. But I think the fact that you're not seeing an explosive claim at A1 of the New York Times speaks to the credibility or at least the ability to corroborate the claims.
Perhaps. But it’s either this or the pee tapes. As vain as trump is I’m almost believing the pee tapes reason as to why he’s sucking Putin off. Then again, both can be true at the same time. Trump became a Russian asset exactly because of the pee tapes. Which would explain EVERYTHING without much of a stretch of the imagination.

If not,then it’s simply all about the money and power. Which would also be Trumps M.O. And almost more insidious.

If not any or all of the above, if not one or the other, why is Trump sucking Putin’s little wee wee?
That seems to be the$64,000 question.

I have no reason the believe anything other than what the former KGBers are saying, with or without verification.

What if Trump is just congenitally like Putin? A sadistic narcissist who cares only for power? Trump looked up to Roy Cohn too.
 
Makes complete since to crap all on the leader of the country that was invaded by Russia by saying he doesn't want peace because he won't just surrender to Putin. Did I mention they were invaded by RUSSIA?
 
There is truly nothing I'd enjoy more than to be completely wrong about Donald Trump. There's nothing I'd enjoy more than to have Trump turn out to be a brilliant negotiator who brings about a genuine, lasting peace between Ukraine and Russia. There's nothing I'd enjoy more than to have Trump negotiate some masterful bargain that gives the United States access to natural resources that can boost our economy. I'd love nothing more than for Trump to earn a Nobel Peace Prize and go down in history as one of the great American presidents leading the United States- and by extension the rest of the globe- into and through an era of unprecedented peace and prosperity. Heck, at a bare baseline minimum, I'd enjoy nothing more than Trump to simply maintain the status quo- he doesn't even have to improve upon it!- that has existed for the last 80 years that has enabled the U.S. to be the world's premier economic and cultural leader.

There is also nothing that's going to humor me more than revisiting this thread and bumping calla's and ramrouser's breathless fondling of Trump's ballsack so that we can all laugh about how ridiculously stupid their wishcasting turns out to be. There is quite literally nothing in Donald Trump's history as a person, as a businessman, or as president that would lead anyone- or, rather, anyone with a shred of objectivity- to believe that the he is going to somehow be able expertly navigate this whole situation.

But I'd love nothing more than to be wrong and to have my own nose rubbed in how wrong I was.
 
The US just became (assuming brokered peace is the result)

less dependent on china for minerals
led the effort to end a 3.5 year war in less than 3 months in office (was joe asleep at the wheel? No, just mentally incapable)
solidified the US as the dominant leader of the free world
locked up the nobel prize for trump

Sadly, that is going to greatly disappoint many here.
No it won’t. Assuming it works out that way. It won’t. Trump is being played by Putin.

I'm convinced your family tree is a wreath.

Well that would certainly fit my “it’s all about the money and power” line of thinking… again, as insidious as that is. I mean it’s just like a Hollywood script: “Notorious bad guy holds world hostage for money and wants absolute power. Dr. Evil just wants to control the World”. Sounds exactly like trump, actually.
 
Good podcast (if you can get over Ezra Klein's annoying NY Times podcast speech pattern) with Fareed Zakaria on trying to understand Trump's foreign policy.

Right down to the hilarity of the unintentionally underwhelming demand.

Truth is, I'd probably prefer a million dollars to an MOU setting forth a plan to be negotiated for exploitation of Ukraine's minerals.
 
In four plus years of being President, has Trump ever made a deal with an adversary like Russia, china, NK, Iran, where he didn't get completely hosed? I just can't recall.

May not want to take victory lap yet. Inflation is set to be down for the first time since September and the 10 year is down as well.
