Trump Says Ukraine Will Surrender Land to Putin for Peace
(www.thedailybeast.com)
Trump says a lotta things
Most of the time in favor of the last person he talked to, if that person knows at least a little bit how to handle him (and Putin most certainly does). As soon as I heard that they would talk, I knew he would drop some pro-russian taking points again.
Putin just had to remind him of the pee pee tapes.
Was thinking he's going to attack Russia.
Treating "trump says" as a meaningful news is just garbage journalism
He also said a convicted child sex trafficker was a great guy.
He also said he will lower drug prices by 1000%. The man is a fucking idiot. An idiot that people voted for because “he is a businessman “; a businessman that said he would lower drug prices by 1000%
No wonder his personal ventures went tits-up. Glad he got the opportunity to apply his wisdom to the world stage. Neat-o
Actually, it was 1500%.
I believe he also said it's a number that no one can even imagine.
So...
Oh Jesus, that’s right. This feels like a fever dream. I never thought this nation could tailspin this fast.
It was losing airspeed and altitude a long time ago.
No one cares Donnie release the Epstein files.
Never going to happen and it's just a tool for ruzi propaganda. Europe and Ukraine would never accept this unless Ukraine immediately joins NATO because only an idiot would think that ruzis would stop after being appeased like that.
At this point, why bother with NATO? The US is unlikely to take any action if its allies are attacked -- hell, they'd prolly join in on attacking their own allies.
The other members are pretty strong too
There are some nukes in the hands of the UK, and some in the hands of France. I don't recall hearing any other NATO partner as having their own nukes.
Israel has more of a nuclear deterrent than a place like Canada or Spain. Turkey has a large army, but against nuclear armed aggressor countries that's less of a deterrent. The NATO of yesteryear, was a united block with Article 5 basically meaning "If you're part of NATO, you're protected from nuclear armed aggressors due to the general principle of mutually assured destruction should shit hit the fan". Now, it's "Russia can attack anyone they want, and the USA will assist as best they can. The US will also pressure NATO countries to buy sub-standard weapons that cannot be used without US approval; this helps the US prevent its new ally, Russia, from losing any conflict". Sorta like how there are US controlled nukes in some NATO countries, that they can't use for their own defense without the US go-ahead.
And anyone that thinks Trump / the USA is gonna go against Russia, hasn't been paying attention to all the Putin cock America's been sucking lately.
Appeasing Putin is a shit plan.
Just let him have Sudetenland, he will surely stop then.
He was raised not to oppose daddy
Trump says a lot of things. Nearly all of them are lies.
"There is no Epstein client list" says top Epstein client.
LOL no EU and Ukraine already rejected it.

Donnie, you’re out of your element.
Because Russia clearly doesn't have enough land, especially empty land yet.
That's not how it works sadly. Ukraine has massive tracts of arable land in more favourable hardiness zones, climate and land quality.
Plus they are just dicks.
Maybe Putin gave Trump a gold bar and told him that he was the bestest boy.
How much land is Trump willing to surrender if Russia invades the US?
He'll probably sell it as "a merger of equals", that "America will now be across 3 continents and the sun will never set on America." "The greatest America it's ever been!"
Just give them Alaska so we can have peace in our time.
Everything from Tennessee to Florida is already Russia, so give them what is already theirs. They can have Alberta, too.
All of it?
another truncation of the epstein files hes trying to distract from, and also putting on more "security detail" to ghislaines prison stay, because of death threats.
..temporary.. peace.
yeah, how about no, go fuck yourself trump. release the files.
Today on TACO TV...
So I guess during the talk with Putin, the Cheeto got reminded that they have his pee tapes?
At this point, if it were only pee tapes, I feel like GOPhers would have tried normalizing pee tapes already.
Will they? I doubt it. Probably a typical Trump illusion.
You don't understand. Trump is just defending himself from American imperialism.

Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
