Kremlin: US sudden shift in foreign policy “largely aligns with our vision”

1 be in the same place they are now in a year with our money down the shitter and more dead
2 if z wanted to sign he could have signed. Period. A deal wasn’t done. So this was premature.
3 I believe the duty for decorum and grace rested with us not z. Man has been living through years of war. Who knows what his mental state is at this point. Maybe they do need someone new for the diplomacy bit. Someone with a fresh approach. You take your opponent as you get them and this isn’t woke social workers like Harris and walz. It’s a guy with narcissistic personality disorder and another guy on the spectrum

We'll just going to disagree on #3. He was well aware what was to happen. Deal was done by Bessent a week or so earlier. Z demanded it be done with the President. We complied. He came with pics in hand, so he had a plan to negotiate in front of the press. Insulting, IMHO.

Even if you're right - and you're not, but even if you are - it's still a fact that Trump cancelled the signing and kicked Z out of the WH. That's not how a leader who "wants peace" behaves.

Well I am right, as I usually am. And I do wish Trump had handled it differently. But he's not going to let anyone punk him in his Oval Office. It's Trump.

Deal is never done until it’s signed and the check is in the bank

Yep. But they need us more than we need them. We still got Greenland in the pipeline for minerals.

No, I am not cool with Z ambushing Trump with demands and picture props. And no, I am not cool with what the Kremlin says.

I am also not cool with people dying everyday. I am not cool with religious persecution. I am not cool with spending billions.

But Trump has to call Z a dictator, or the Kremlin is giddy, or whatever to get a deal done, then fine.

Sounds like to me you are just fine with the killing as long the optics are good. Biden didn’t cave and didn’t negotiate with a dictator. Wow, he's so awesome. Only several hundred thousand died with that strategy.

religious persecution? Please, tell us about that.

It’s sad that Russian invaded Ukraine and Hamas attacked Israel but it’s helping us learn a lot about our new populist foreign policy. 🤮
