To Trump, "a good day in talks and meetings" means it is now "set in stone" that Ukraine concedes land.

While Trump pretends to be a peacemaker, humiliating and blaming Zelensky on the world stage, trying to bully him into making a deal, and posting BS on social media, Putin accelerates drone and missile strikes. It is obvious that Trump and Putin are working together to exert maximum pressure.

From the UK's Independent

Ukrainians consider the proposal very one-sided in Russia’s favour, but it is “set in stone” as far as the US is concerned, according to the Times newspaper.

As he touched down in Rome, Mr Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform that it had been “a good day in talks and meetings with Russia and Ukraine”.

Steve Witkoff, the US special envoy who has been deeply involved in the negotiations, met Mr Putin in Moscow on Friday for peace talks.

“They are very close to a deal, and the two sides should now meet, at very high levels, to ‘finish it off.’ Most of the major points are agreed to. Stop the bloodshed, NOW,” Mr Trump wrote on his social media site.

1. There's no way Ukraine would sign this

4. Agreed. Not when European leaders have met the moment to support Ukraine, especially Keir Starmer.

2. Trump claimed to be in negotiations with China

China denies this. Trump had also claimed to be in talks with dozens of nations over tariffs. That's been reported to be untrue

3. Agreed, It is all BS.

5. Yes it is quite possible Trump is lying again.

There is no deal on the table to be signed.

7. There's probably a couple cabinet staffers that can do good impressions of the Russia and Ukraine leaders

They get on the phone from the next room with Pretzeldunce Clowny McDollhands, and pretend to have 'high-level talks' with him. Then they crack up for days after, knowing their stories will be legendary one day.

8. Lol!

Something like what Mick Jagger and Keith Richards did to Brian Jones in the recording studio.

6. Which means Zelenskyy agreed to nothing of the kind.
