Does the fact that the Ukraine war wasn’t ended in 24 hours like Trump promised mean that he either lied or was too dumb to understand that it is more complicated?

Does the fact that the Ukraine war wasn’t ended in 24 hours like Trump promised mean that he either lied or was too dumb to understand that it is more complicated?

When I heard it for the first time, I immediately said that “ending the war in Ukraine in 24 hours” was impossible — people who believed it probably still believe in Easter Bunny.

In fact, ending the war in Ukraine is straightforward:

Now Trump is saying that the defender state "does not have the cards" when the aggressor has not advanced in 3 years. Jim Mattis was right.

What do you typically do while on meth?

He just needs to order his troops to go home.

Putin can end this war any day.

Well, it can certainly be both — you can be dumb and lie at the same time.

What’s something you’ve learned that you think everyone should know, but nobody talks about?

Russians will leave Ukraine.

If he does not, start destroying his forces inside Ukraine until he does.

Tell Putin to completely withdraw from Ukraine by a certain date.
