[Castanet News]

The White House says President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin have begun a highly anticipated call as the U.S. administration looks to...

It will be interesting to see what two compulsive liars can agree on.
It would be even more interesting to find out what gives Putin such incredible control over Trump
Is Trump a long-term Russian asset ???

End this war already. Enough people killed. Well done Mr. Trump.

Who wants to bet that these two force Ukraine, the victim of the unprovoked war, into a very unfavorable peace deal. Russia will not agree to give up anything: win/ lose is how both Putin and Trump think.

Trump reminds me of a really bad used car salesman, as his method is usually the same old "Always ask for more than you want, do a drop in pricing, and 'good cop bad cop' mentality. He is the poster boy of humanity's fear-mongering to acquire more of everything. This too shall pass.

It’s 1919 all over again. But in this case it’s one has-been super power and one grifter dividing the spoils of a sovereign Ukraine without the participation of the Ukrainian people or government. Shameful. The people of Eastern Europe are still paying the price for the high handed and arbitrary decisions of the Treaty of Versailles. The people of Ukraine have given their blood to defend Europe from Putin and deserve to be at the table.

it's a proven fact that Trump had to turn to Russian Investors to bail him out when no American Banks would touch him with 6 bankruptcies

this was a gross display of one old man paying off his decades long debt at the expensive of Americans and their reputation

So, let me get this straight...

One insane SOB who wants to take over other people's countries got on the phone in the hopes of convincing another insane SOB to stop trying to take over other people's countries...?

Is that about it?

Disgusting.
Talking about hockey games with a despot war criminal.
Absolutely disgusting.

The Kremlin said that Trump also expressed support for an idea floated by Putin to organize hockey matches in the United States and Russia between Russian and American players from the National Hockey League, which has U.S. and Canadian teams, and the Kontinental Hockey League, which includes teams from Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, and China.

A felon and a war criminal deciding on the faith of Ukraine. Wow

[Bbdodge]

You all are so right...It much better to let Canada and Europe pretend they care and do nothing just let them kill each other.....the progressive liberal way to do it....throw money at it and hope for the best!

[Y-Wine]

Sounds a lot better than "lets keep killing people". Maybe all the tough guys, go over there and put your keyboards on the front line.

Quite a photo op,,, shaking hands with the Devil...

I truly enjoy seeing everyone argue about their feelings. No one cares how you feel, understand what it is you are offering your opinion on. Where did you get the information to base your position on ? Did you do any independent research? Based on what people are saying here I can confidently say they have not. Turn off the sea bee sea and do the smallest amount of research on the topic you wish to discuss. There is a term " undo influence" I put forth the idea this is at play when the state is paying the salary of the people providing you with the information to form your opinion .....

Realize when there is a thumb on the scale. Then maybe the things you say could have weight. Not just this fluff you huff and puff
