    You’re telling me that even with our billions of dollars worth of fucking intelligence agencies, we didn’t know this was coming and couldn’t have said no in advance, before people died? If so, why are we paying them so much? To harass minorities in the US?

    Traitor Trump has the power to stop this war overnight. He chooses not to.

    Watch what traitors do, not what they say.

    This is for optics. It’s to reinforce Trump’s strong man schtick. Putin stops, then Trump looks like he can make the peace if “unreasonable” Zelensky agrees to what Trump proposed. The proposal gives Putin Crimea, gives Trump minerals, and doesn’t help Ukraine. Zelensky says no and Trump uses it to attack Zelensky further and justify some punitive measure.

      Conveniently for Putin he can stop because he wants to, not because someone dropped a cigarette and lit up one of their ammo dumps the other day.

      Except Russia has never and I’m talking recently respected any ceasefire.
