Summary

Trump is pushing for softer language on Russia’s war in Ukraine, straining G7 unity.

Officials say the U.S. is blocking references to “Russian aggression” and prefers calling it the “Ukraine conflict.”

This shift follows Trump’s peace talks with Putin that excluded Ukraine’s President Zelensky, whom Trump later called a “dictator.”

The change in rhetoric contrasts with Biden-era support for Ukraine and threatens a unified G7 stance.

      Maybe he does.

      Maybe Putin’s colleagues found out something interesting about Trump back in the days, and made him an offer he could not refuse - “go and become King of America, we’ll even help you a little, but you’ll serve us”.

      Wild speculation, of course. But he definitely doesn’t have national interest burdening his mind in any way or manner.

      P.S. If I worked in the Secret Service, I would use my telescope to watch birds fly and tree leaves wobble. Even if there was a remote weapons station turning towards my client, or a wire guided object coming in - I would hardly notice until impact.

            Agreed. Look, if someone released a tape of trump being peed on by a bunch of underage children, it would start a trend with trump supporters and everyone would be having pedo pee parties in support and solidarity. trump could literaly blow someones brains out in the oval office on live television and no one would fucking do anything. Putin is dangling a financial carrot over trump or one of trumps “investors” that has to do with money or power and that is the only reason. It’s pure unadulterated corruption being broadcast live on a streaming service near you. Simple as that.

        SO YOU AGREE that Putin should leave the country they wrongfully invaded and pay for the rebuild to ensure peace.

              Actually I’d argue the US and the EU have had their fair share of invasions and aggressions.

              Regardless, if you want Ukraine to win, other countries must joint the war, Ukraine can’t win by itself.

            You are correct that Ukraine cant do it itself. It is sickening that Nato happily took the Nordic country in super quick like but wont take Ukraine in because of the conflict that they knew was coming for YEARS

        Its almost as if he wants america out of a war as quickly as possible.

        That would mean Traitorapist Trump has gone completely insane since we aren’t in any war. And Trump’s New World Disorder is going to send nuclear proliferation thru the roof. Every country in the world will rightly want its own nuclear weapons thanks to Trump.
