    What? The Jester told Putin not to show up if he didn't stop fighting immediately. What kind of dumb **** is that. No referees in war to call a time out. The Jester is a moron.

    Putin just stalls Trump while he accumulates more and more soldiers at the border for a summer invasion.

    When it happens I am sure we will get another gay tweet from Trump begging Putin to stop....

    Once Ukraine falls from the complete lack of activity by Trump - I am sure Trump will blame Zelensky and some how on social media claim he warned the Ukraine.

    At this point I don't see how MAGAphiles can possible think that Trump has in anyway been anything but bent over by Putin, and Trump couldn't even get Zelensky inline even with tremendous leverage.

    What a joke.

    Trump has failed on Ukraine/Russia

    Trump has failed miserably on tariffs.

    Trump has failed at forming any meaningful coalitions with Russia or anyone else.

    Trump hasn't been able to keep Israel away from Iran.

    The guy has done nothing productive other than make sure the military spending goes up and that the wealthiest taxes go down - and dismantle the productive parts of the US government.

    We should put boots on the ground along with the rest of the EU, and force Putin to the table...he doesn't have the resources to fight a big war.

    This is the same guy who literally said we should cut the entire defense budget.

    Parades are the best Russian troops have looked since '45.

    I'll give him credit for:
    - border control
    - pushing back against wokeism (left went way too far though I initially supported some of those ideas)
    - getting NATO countries to invest in defense
    - pushing back against Netanyahu recently (we'll see if that actually leads to anything productive)
    - making bitcoin a legit institutional asset

    Costs:
    - major damage to long time alliances
    - new levels of brazen corruption in broad daylight similar to a banana republic
    - new levels of disregard for rule of law
    - damaging federal government structures that worked quite well for peanuts (DOGE)
    - accelerating budget deficit (maybe the #1 thing)

    Yeah it has not been worth it

    It makes the point that the Russians might consider war preferable to just about any peace the West could podsibly offer. In terms of furthrring Russian national goals.
