Such a deal would be trading America's something for Putin's nothing in order to get his non-permission to do a stupid thing we shouldn't want to do in the first place.

Just idiocy wrapped in stupidity, wrapped in foolishness.

If this is the exchange it is an extremely stupid exchange because the United States absolutely does have leverage in the Ukraine conflict and can make Putin's war miserable, whereas Putin has zero ability to stop the United States from annexing Venezuela if we were stupid enough to do so.
During Fiona Hill's testimony to Congress on Oct 14, 2019, she described how Trump and Putin discussed exchanging Ukraine for Venezuela. The quid pro quo was if Trump refuses to help Ukraine fight off a Russian invasion, Putin would not help Venezuela (a Russian ally) resist a US takeover.

Invading another country in order to carry out regime change is an act of war. See Putin’s invasion of Ukraine.

Going to war requires congressional approval. Full stop.

Why don’t I smirk like Zelensky when Rubio echoes Putin's line about Russia wanting a better future for Ukraine? Because Trump wants profit. Putin wants extermination. I wish!!!🙏 Putin cared only about profit - but he’s obsessed with Ukraine, like Hitler with Jews.😒

20 years of service behind me including two years on the staff of a Vice Chairman and I’m completely beyond even trying to predict what this mob of fascists will do next — other than it will be consistent with Putin’s playbook to undermine processes, institutions, & public trust in government.

Trump is using Putin's playbook here. Putin intends to acquire all of Russia's lost land. And everyone should be aware that Alaska is part of this goal as is Ukraine. Will Putin invade America? Once Trump has destroyed America, of course he will. What a dumb question. 😼

ANY AMERICAN who can't yet see that Trump is Pig Putin's treasonous, anti-truth, anti-democratic, anti-American, sniveling, lying, slanderous, Hitler loving LIL' PUPPET BITCH, is simply brainwashed/indoctrinated/radicalized by DJT/RU Trolls/Fox and RW Media. IT COULDN'T POSSIBLY BE ANY MORE OBVIOUS!

Exactly. Trump is quite obviously on Putin’s side, and wants to emulate him.
January 4, 2026 at 3:40 PM
So they (and the autocrates of the world) were outraged when someone lied that the Ukrainians had bombed Putin's palace but they think Zelensky should be killed.

Go back sucking Putin’s balls.
January 4, 2026 at 3:39 PM
Another of Putin’s pieces falls into place.

I can imagine him goading Trump into it.

Another act of the Traitor in Chief.
January 4, 2026 at 3:39 PM
I wonder how long it will be before Putin comes in and starts telling people I will protect you if I can put nukes in your country and aim that at the US?

It sure seems to me like that is Putin's end game strategy.
January 4, 2026 at 3:38 PM
Completely understandable.

Now, if my acquaintances would start viewing Putin's repeated transgressions thru the same lens, as consistency only adds to legitimacy.

Russia already did that with Ukraine. President Viktor Yanukovych (Putin’s puppet) was overthrown in the Maidan revolution in 2014 by the good people of Ukraine

Putin's invasion of Ukraine was also a blatant act of imperialist aggression, accompanied by numerous war crimes against civilians. I have no wish for anonymous accounts pushing Putin propaganda on my timeline, so goodbye.

“Our hemisphere”
That is the crux.
America thinks it has the right to interfere and control all countries it considers in its “hemisphere”.
This is no different to Putin’s Russia, or Iran’s Middle East.
It should alarm every civilised person whether this
January 4, 2026 at 3:28 PM
If you can recall, Fiona Hil, in Trump's first impeachment, testified that Putin suggested a swap: Venezuela for Ukraine. Hasn't that been the foundation of Trump's "policy". Putin's back pocket.
January 4, 2026 at 3:26 PM
why now? Europe is Putin's, Asia is Xi's, and America is Trump's. we all knew in the first place. all middle schooler dictators' fantasy.
Donald Trump appears to intend nothing less than an American Empire—a dictatorship at home; betrayal of Europe to Russia and Taiwan to China; and the annexation or puppeteering of Mexico, Venezuela, Colombia, Panama, Cuba, Greenland, Argentina, Brazil, Honduras and other nations.

Apps they’d rather resign than risk his (Putin’s?) wrath.

She is Putin's pick.
January 4, 2026 at 3:23 PM
When reality is like a hall of mirrors, it's good t break it down like this:
[In case you didn't tune in last night, here's what you missed: CBS as propaganda. Dokoupil is Bari's puppet, who's the Ellisons' puppet, who are Trump's puppet (who is still Putin's puppet). It's puppets all the way up.]
