Trump says he’s confident Putin will ‘keep his word’

🤣🤣🤣

He is referring to his promised payment.

He ain't getting that either.

He violated the Budapest Memorandum (Ukraine agreeing to give up their nuclear weapons in return for the US and Russia promising no aggression and to come to Ukraine's defense in the event of aggression) only 20 years after it was signed by Russia when he annexed Crimea. He may as well have shredded it when he launched the "Special Military Operation."

That's different. He really means it this time.

Ukraine actually made a list of ceasefires Russia had broken:

https://www.pravda.com.ua/eng/news/2025/02/24/7499797/

And Zelenskyy has informed the US administration about it personally.
Putin is NOT trustworthy, and is demonstrably a liar about everything regarding the war on Ukraine.
There is zero rational reason to trust Putin.

Trump doesn't give a shit about facts, and he is constantly gaslighting about Putin and Russia.
The man is a traitor, and should be executed for treason of the highest order.

I think he learned his lesson. Give him one more chance, sweety.

Republicans are themselves bad-faith actors in all respects, like Putin. Their words mean nothing.

In 2018 at the Helsinki summit, Trump said he trusted Putin's word then, too, over the unprecedented joint consensus of every US intelligence agency and Pentagon.

Bush Jr. also said something similar on Putin.

Dumbshits. Kompromat.

There will be peace in our time, eh?

Only the peace of the grave, I fear. :(

I'm confident Anna Kendrick would love me if she just took the chance to get to know me...

Oh yes Putin's puppet I am sure he will.
