US President Donald Trump said that the war in Ukraine has turned out to be more complicated than he expected. He noted that he had initially considered it the easiest at a Board of Peace meeting in Washington.

Ok everyone I know we thought Trump was going to end the Ukraine war super fast, but Trump isn't perfect, sometimes things are hard for him! For example remembering where he is going in a sentence or covering up evidence he is a pedophile are both things he struggles with.

Oh no! That means he's down to only seven/eight other wars he's resolved, right?

Let's go through them:

  • Albania and Aberbaijan - he meant Armenia and Azerbaijan; and according to their leaders he might have actually played a part in this in spite of his comical geographic gaffs. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt on this one. ✔️
  • Albania and Thighland - he probably meant Cambodia and Thailand, in which case his ceasefire fell through, and the one that actually took wasn't due to him. ❌
  • Democratic Republic of Congo and Rwanda - not resolved despite his claims, fighting still continues. ❌
  • Israel and Iran - you can't call heavily tipping the scales for one side as brokering peace; plus it looks like he's unilaterally dragging the US into a new conflict with Iran. ❌
  • India and Pakistan - India doesn't acknowledge the US played a significant part in peace talks, so this can't really be counted. ❌
  • Israel and Hamas - this one could only be considered a success if you're Israel. But even then, it hasn't done anything to prevent the genocide in Gaza, and now he's just angling to exploit all that 'empty' land for himself and his cronies. ❌
  • Ethiopia and Egypt - there's hasn't been war here for ages, so it's a false claim. ❌
  • Serbia and Kosovo - relations remain strained, and no peace agreement was signed. ❌

I don't understand, what is YSK about this? This is US politics, and doesn't provide any good content related to this community as far as I can tell.

Fact check: It wasn’t ‘in jest.’ Here are 53 times Trump said he’d end Ukraine war within 24 hours or before taking office

Why does he always want to sound like a cowboy?

Ffs he doesn’t even wear a single cowboy item.

He really should though, being the second hand car dealership scam artist that he is…
