“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” https://edition.cnn.com/2025/04/25/politics/fact-check-trump-ukraine-war
In conclusion, no good can be expected from Budapest. If Trump really wanted to budge Putin, he could have done it over the phone — before he even became President. Instead, nothing but an endless cycle of empty words and broken deadlines. And war and occupation continue.

No one other than Ukraine ever had the combined factors of willpower, population, and strategic depth to defeat Russia’s contemporary empire.
Ukraine is the shield of the world, by default.
I expect to be reposting this at least once more before Christmas.

All the people convinced that this time it was different should bear this in mind in 3-6 weeks when the White House starts up the "Trump's finally fed up with Putin and willing to do something" circus yet again.

This is terrorism, sanctioned by the Russian state.
Once Russia is defeated, it must never be able to wage such a war on its peaceful neighbours again.
To summarize. If Trump wanted to send Ukraine Tomahawks, he could right now. If Trump wanted to sanction Russia, he could right now. If Trump
wanted to seriously bolster Ukrainian air defense against Russia drones/missiles, he could right now. But he’s not, so he doesn’t want to.

The first wave of comments on a post, from those who do actually follow you, is usually interesting or fun or both.
But the later waves are of scolds, humourless reply-guys, "sorry to be pedantics", "whatabouts", and "why are you insulting".
“Et smørret grin” = a buttered grin. You’re welcome 😂
