POTUS and Putin on the phone for 75 minutes after the Ukraine drone attack...

What now?

*

America is in Russia’s side in this war it’s clear. We all have to learn to living in such a country, even if it goes against our personal morals and sense of justice. The USA and Russia are aligned.

Are they going steady for good?

Thank you, R4! I definitely needed a chuckle during all this madness.

Putin has to be desperate if he is leaning on his puppet Trump. Not a surprise since his military troops, targets, responsibilities and core manufacturers are being obliterated more every day. Europe has showed up big for Ukraine financially and by giving them the White flag to attack as they will. He is targeted by assassins from his own military and government which is why he is now requiring body checks for personnel at public events (plus his numerous body doubles). The Russian economy is shit and the Russian people are tired of their sons, brothers etc, being used as ground hamburger.

Nobody in the International community (and at least 60% of the U.S.) believes a word he says or that he will keep it from being e day to the next.

They are both saber rattling with very few “cards” in their deck

POTUS just wants to hear the sound of his hero's voice.

"You hang up first."

"No, *you* hang up first."

I've known him a long time. He's a friend. We get along great. I told him to stop it.

It's really amazing how everyone now just accepts that Dump is Putin's puppet.

Dump has NO strategy. He has no idea what policy is. Part of the call was him saying "Sometimes you see two young children fighting in the park....sometimes you're better off letting them fight more before you pull them apart."

In January he was *sick* of all the fighting. Now he's giving his p'tit chou some tough love?

I’m guessing that Trump is starting to “feel his oats” with Putin. Trump may no longer need Putin for money laundering, because he’s got the Saudis. Trump is becoming his own dictator, and dictators fear each other and therefore have to diminish each other. Trumps ego may be telling him that Putin is starting to look like a “loser” after the attack from Ukraine. Trump has even made one or more negative comments about Putin since starting his second term; that was unheard of during his first term.
