Trump, who won reelection in November 2024 partly by claiming he could end the Ukraine war in one day, spent his first month in office posting cryptic messages on Truth Social about how the “deep state” was preventing him from implementing his genius plan. Now, with pressure mounting, he has finally delivered on his promise – by offering to surrender on Ukraine’s behalf.

I believe his tactic is:

  1. ”Negotiate” a deal with Russia without Ukraine
  2. Present the deal to Ukraine
  3. Ukraine declines the deal because it mostly favors Russia while Ukraine gets nothing
  4. Accuse Ukraine for being warmongers who refuse to end the war
  5. Stop the aid to Ukraine because ”he doesn’t want to support warmongers”

I think he is looking for an excuse to lift sanctions on Russia.

I fear you will be proved right.
