(Would've put quotation marks around the above headline, as I usually do on headlines that are just copy/pasted from the article I'm linking to, but they didn't fit, because Dreamwidth's subject field length is still inadequate.)
"Trump subsequently announced that he'd also spoken with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, but only after his talk with Putin. After the calls, White House officials declined to clarify whether Ukraine would be a party to the U.S. negotiations.
"That sent a potentially dramatic signal that Washington and Moscow might work to hammer out a deal to end fighting in Ukraine by going around that country's government. Doing so would break with the Biden administration, which steadfastly insisted Kyiv would be a full participant in any decisions made.
"In another blow to Ukraine's Western-leaning aspirations, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said at NATO headquarters in Brussels that NATO membership was unrealistic for Ukraine, it should abandon hopes of winning all its territory back from Russia and any security guarantees for Kyiv would have to be borne by European countries."
*weary sigh*
In other words, prominent Putin-nutsack-licker Donald Trump is blithely doing his pimp's bidding, just as expected.
So, in addition to my prediction about Israel/Gaza coming true, my prediction from that same post about Ukraine being proper fucked as a result of Trump becoming SCROTUS IMPOTUS again appears to be coming true, too. Any "peace" that comes from this will be purely at Putin's fickle whim, nothing more.
And like I also said before, Zelensky was a fool to trust a single word out of Trump's turgid face-anus. Or... maybe Zelensky just realizes that the writing is on the wall and is simply trying to make the best he can of a ridiculously terrible situation (now made exponentially worse by Trump's presence and involvement and playacting as if he has a single fucking clue at all).
Oh, and in another win for Putin, Tulsi Gabbard has been confirmed as director of national """""intelligence.""""" Interestingly and weirdly enough, Moscow's Bitch McConnell was the only GQPer in the Senate who actually didn't vote for her. He was also the only one who didn't vote for Hegseth, either, apparently.
