    Barbashin says Russia’s leaders expect Trump to issue ultimatums to both Kyiv and Moscow: if Volodymyr Zelensky balks at peace terms, the US will sever all military aid; if Putin drags his feet, the US will up the military ante and carpet-bomb the Russian economy.

    I do not believe for one second that Trump will issue any ultimatums to Putin. Even if he does, there’s zero chance he would follow through on any threats to Russia.

      It’s a right-wing source peddling right-wing fantasies. Ukraine probably lost the war on November 5th.

      It wouldn’t be out of character for Trump to fuck over a friend/ally of he thinks it would get him an advantage in something he wants

        Thats true, but the only thing Trump wants from Putin is to finally hear someone say that Daddy is proud of him.
