Why Trump is struggling to secure fast ceasefire in Ukraine

This from Shakespeare is fitting here : one crazy man dying, seeing nothing but decay around him, so, spreading his decay.

Yea, He is a good conman, conned banks and investors to trust him with investment and loans.

His only talent id say is somehow brainwashing a crowd of people in to thinking his has the same beliefs and values as they do.

Well he did bankrupted his casinos. His only talent is acting/showmanship on a reality TV show and bankrupting his own companies.

He doesn’t understand what sarcasm is either.

It has a heavy dose of "what do you mean, reality doesn't conform to my wishes?" It's something every autocrat runs into.

As far as I can see, he says words and then more words and you know the best words but none of them that actually mean anything to him. So all his boasting about ending that war were as full of meaning as he expected them to be which was nothing

That's MAGA's traitor in chief Krasnov, yes.

Because hes a russian stooge ?

Is it because he’s a shit businessman, negotiator, president, leader, human etc

"a conflict as bitter and complex as this"

Huh? How is it complex? It is very simple. Putin wants Russia to expand to regain its "former glory". Zelensky is not rolling over but defends his country. The West supports Ukraine to honour the Budapest Memorandum but also to have access to its resources. They are hesitant to send boots on the ground to prevent escalation.

Is it incompetence? Or only thinking about himself? Or not really even caring? So many options to choose from

Is it because he's a fucking moron? I think it's because he's a fucking moron

Because he had neither a plan nor a clue apart from saying "I might have been a little bit sarcastic when I said that" after those facts became too obvious to ignore.

First of all, he completely underestimated the problem. He thought he could just tell Zelenskyy to stop and the war would be over.

Second, as he is obeying the commands of Putin, he simply wants Ukraine to surrender, completely disregarding that Russia is the aggressor here, and their role in crimes of war and crimes against humanity.

If he had any clue about striking deals, he would be aware that telling one party to just roll over and die is not a successful strategy.

probably because his idea of a ceasefire would end in complete Ukrainian genocide.

>If we win, I *think* we’re going to get it resolved very quickly

i think i know where the problem lies, ladies and gentlemen

It should come as a surprise to nobody that a complete unwillingness to have something come to an end is quite a barrier to said thing coming to an end.

That mixed with incompetence, even if he wanted the cash cow that is the illegal invasion of Ukraine to end, he's not intelligent enough to navigate that.

Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow,\

Creeps in this petty pace from day to day\

To the last syllable of recorded time,\

And all our yesterdays have lighted fools\

The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!\

Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player\

That struts and frets his hour upon the stage\

And then is heard no more: it is a tale\

Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,\

Signifying nothing.

Ok I’m sorry that is just the most absolutely idiotic headline.

But I suppose it’s targeted on an absolutely idiotic populace… so what even am I complaining about 🫠
