Putin's opening demands have been clear for over two years. There hasn't been a single bit of progress on Ukraine since the war began. Nor should there be. The only appropriate end for this war is Russia leaving Ukraine.
Could the very sudden shift of Trump’s promise to be tough on Russia to his accepting Putin’s position be a reaction to what Vlad told him during their private ride in his limo (which one report said his staff tried to prevent)? Did the name Epstein come up?
It is no secret that flattery will get you everywhere with DJT. Not only does he know that this is what people do to ingratiate themselves with him, he welcomes and encourages it. It is impossible for him to imagine that the praise and plaudits would be insincere; after all, he deserves every bit of praise. Just as he deserved an Oscar (for which he was snubbed in Home Alone 2) and an Emmy for "The Apprentice".
Trump WILL get his three-way handshake, but two of those hands will belong to Vladimir Putin.
You don’t negotiate with Putin. Former ambassadors & state department employees will tell you that. You also can’t trust him.
