Uh huh…
Trump believes Vlad’s lies. Again:
With talks on ending the Ukraine war making little progress on the toughest issues, Russia issued a dramatic threat on Monday to harden its stance, linking the potential change to what the Kremlin called a failed Ukrainian drone attack overnight targeting a rural residence of President Vladimir V. Putin.
Ukraine immediately denied any such attack, accusing the Kremlin of inventing a pretext to undermine the peace talks being orchestrated by the Trump administration. President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine, who met with President Trump at Mar-a-Lago in Florida on Sunday to discuss a possible deal, called the Russian allegation a “complete fabrication.”
Although both Mr. Trump and Mr. Zelensky gave an upbeat assessment of their talks, no concrete progress was reported on the two thorniest issues — Russia’s demands that Ukraine cede significant territory in the country’s southeast, and security guarantees that would protect Ukraine against future Russian aggression.
Mr. Trump said that he heard about the alleged attack from Mr. Putin himself during a previously scheduled phone call early Monday to discuss the peace talks. “I was very angry about it,” he told reporters at Mar-a-Lago, though he conceded that he had no independent confirmation that it had occurred.
“It’s a delicate period of time,” Mr. Trump said, noting that although both sides were on the offensive, “It’s another thing to attack his house.” He suggested that he had blocked the sale of Tomahawk cruise missiles to Ukraine to prevent just this kind of attack.
Does anyone need more proof that he’s backing Russia in this war?
Sure, it’s one thing to commit massive war crimes, kidnap children, kill thousands of civilians and destroy their cities but a drone attack on one of the president’s vacation homes is a bridge too far. And they didn’t even do it.
I would say, “can you believe it?” but of course you can. Trump has always believed Putin over Ukraine and even his own intelligence agencies. (They might be backing Putin as well at this point with Tulsi Gabbard at the helm.)
Trump spoke to Vlad just before the meeting and we know what that means. And then he spoke with him after the meeting as well, I’m sure to give him all the important intelligence information he will need to keep destroying Kiev.
