After Vladimir Putin’s temporary (for now) invasion of Alaska somehow went even more poorly than anyone predicted, the Trump administration sent out its Russian negotiating “dream team” to the Sunday shows to play clean-up.
SPOILER: It went about as well as the Putin/Trump Alaskan summit went.
After host Kristen Welker asked why the US is not imposing sanctions on Russia, despite Trump’s threat to do so if talks failed, Rubio droned on about the ineffectiveness of such measures. But while Rubio tried to tell the audience we’re lucky to have “Donald the Dove” keeping Putin at bay, Welker showed a chart that undid that very point.
WELKER: Russian attacks on Ukraine have nearly doubled since President Trump came into office. And in fact, in July, Russia launched more than 6,000 missiles and drones. That’s the highest amount of attacks since the war began.
Rubio then pivoted to the need for concessions for this “war” between Ukraine and Russia to end. While Rubio was able to enumerate what Ukraine should give up, he was very vague on anything Russia should give up.
WELKER: What will Russia have to give up? What concessions will Russia, the aggressor, have to make as a part of this peace agreement?
RUBIO: Well, that’s – that’s what these negotiations are about. And as you can imagine, everybody goes into a negotiation wanting 100 percent of what they want. […]
WELKER: And I understand that these negotiations are ongoing. But can you name one thing that President Trump is asking Russia to give up in order to get peace?
RUBIO: Well, I’m not going to disclose those things because if we do, then you can imagine our negotiations could fall apart.
Rubio kept insisting they could make a deal with Putin to end the war and negotiate peace, but Welker decided to play a sound bite from an opposing voice: 2022 Marco Rubio.
2022 RUBIO: This guy lies, habitually lies. He’s never kept a deal they’ve ever signed. And he lies all the time. And I don’t know why, but he plays us like a – like a violin in the West because the West wants to believe that you can cut a deal with everybody. You can’t cut a deal with guys like this. He’s a professional, experienced liar.
This is not the first time Marco Rubio has given up any semblance of political beliefs for power and status, won’t be the last.
Frankly, with the dire state of Trump’s mind lately, I’m surprised me removed the ball gag after his “negotiations” with Putin.
We all know the reason Russia would agree to this deal. They would be allowed to keep everything they’ve taken from Ukraine, and under Trump, that security guarantee would be as good as a Trump University diploma.
So far in Trump’s second administration, the only people whose lives have benefited materially are Putin and Ghislaine Maxwell.
Don’t forget all the Jan 6th insurrectionists that were pardoned!
And you know, those American and Russian oligarchs.
And, however much I wish I could forget him, Trump.
Marco is the smartest guy in the White House.
I need people to read that carefully, because when I’ve said it in the recent past, too many people misinterpreted it as saying “Marco is smart”. That’s not what the sentence above means.
His competition for the title is a BAC enthusiast who reposts weird Christian Nationalism rants, a couch fucker, the boss with delusions of adequacy, and a woman who likes standing in front of concentration camp victims while dressed as Tacticool Barbie. It’s not hard to be the smartest in the room.
Fairly sure, if you stuck a rock with googly eyes in the room. The rock would be smarter.
2022 RUBIO: This guy lies, habitually lies. He’s never kept a deal they’ve ever signed. And he lies all the time. And I don’t know why, but he plays us like a – like a violin in the West because the West wants to believe that you can cut a deal with everybody. You can’t cut a deal with guys like this. He’s a professional, experienced liar.
At first, I wasn’t sure who Rubio was referring to, orange man or Putin.
Feed the rich and kill the poor
Turn out the lights and just ignore
What’s going on outside
Beating hearts of the depraved
We’ve turned their people into slaves
And we’ve given up before we’ve even triedI bet Putin got in the beast and told Trump “I rigged the 2024 election for you, and I can give you the midterms”
Trump seemed almost meek and grateful to Putin in the press conference, and they talked about elections a lot. Why the fuck is Putin giving us advice on elections? Why were they talking about elections at all?
Why the fuck is Putin giving us advice on elections? Why were they talking about elections at all?
You know why.
Seems like Putin has the Epstein files
Has he given Putin Alaska yet?
I really don’t get it. Why would you not want to protect one of the largest economies in the world, the EU, by protecting Ukraine? Putin never stopped he just rebuild for the next attack. (Trump used that excuse to have no ceasefire ’ so the other party doesnt start rebuilding and preparing for a next attack ') … ? I don’t get it, doesnt trump know a large economy means money lmao? Its not like russian war economy has anything to offer rn so yeah. So trump wants to let Putin win and make putin stronger by giving him these lands, for a follow up attack, and eventually lose one of your biggest trade partner cause the EU is busy with follow up attacks from putin ? why lol … apes stronger together bro
Or you can install weapons and troops in Ukraine and say not one more step putin and bring him to his knees. Whats he gonna do? Threat with nuclear? like thats not suicide for moscow. So why is trump not just installing weapons and troops overthere?
You must appreciate that trump is a complete idiot. Start there. Then add to that the dementia that has long since been present in his public presence. Then add the absolute ungodly amounts of corruption he involves himself in. Then remember he’s a sociopath- he can not see himself in anyone else’s shoes.
He is chaos. (That’s bad.)
And partially because of his abusive father and his emotionally stunted mother, Trump loves to bottom for Putin.
