The quote, “Vladimir Putin, smart guy, said you can’t have an honest election with mail-in voting,” really sets the stage, doesn’t it?

So, the big headline coming out of the meeting is this: Trump says no deal on ending the war in Ukraine, but the talks were, get this, “very productive.” Right off the bat, that feels a little…off, doesn’t it? I mean, if the situation on the ground remains the same, and there’s no agreement to stop the fighting, how can you call it productive? It makes you wonder what “productive” actually means in this context. My gut feeling is that it signifies something entirely different than what we’d normally expect.
The consensus seems to be that Russia walked away with a significant win.… Continue reading

“I’m Not Here to Negotiate for Ukraine.” Well, that certainly sets the stage, doesn’t it? It’s a bold statement, a declaration that cuts straight to the core of the matter. What, then, is the purpose of this meeting, if not to advocate for the interests of Ukraine? Some have suggested that the meeting’s purpose might be an admission in itself, a clear indicator of where his loyalties truly lie. This isn’t about finding common ground or brokering peace; it’s about something else entirely.
