Trump is no peacemaker.
He extends wars…
…by befriending and assisting the psychopaths.
Whether Putin or Netanyahu, the suffering of so many innocent people could be over now had Trump exercised the US’s power with clarity. Instead, Trump has wanted “in”, mafia boss style, on spoils of war.

Even Fox News are perplexed and are saying Trump looked weak.
It’s shameful for Trump, the US and the people of the US as the folk he represents that this BS meeting has been allowed to take place.

Confused about what happened at the "very unusual" Trump-Putin summit? Listen to what Fox's Bret Baier, Brian Kilmeade, and Jacqui Heinrich said about it:
"It did not seem like things went well. It seemed like Putin came in and steamrolled."

Surely retaliation directly inside North Korea now becomes legit? If their troops are fighting inside Ukraine then they become a target.
North Korean troops had fought alongside Russia since late 2024. They saw combat in Russia's Kursk Oblast but didn't cross into Ukraine.

These people ought to be celebrated for forcing Starmer to develop better policies.

Trump is an anti-western, anti-democratic, anti-freedom authoritarian and he’s obviously a Russian asset.
