Russian media is reporting that Trump called Putin to discuss Iran, Venezuela, and Ukraine. And they make sure to repeat several times that it was Trump who made the call

MOSCOW, March 9 (Reuters) - Russian President Vladimir Putin, in a telephone conversation on Monday with ​U.S. President Donald Trump, put forward proposals for a quick ‌settlement of the conflict around Iran, Kremlin foreign policy aide Yuri Ushakov said.

He described the entire discussion as "very substantial" and ​said it would "likely have practical significance for further work between ​the two countries".

Ushakov said Putin "expressed several thoughts aimed at a quick political and diplomatic end to the Iranian conflict, including contacts that have taken ​place with leaders of Gulf states, the president of ​Iran and leaders of other countries".

He said Trump "offered his assessment of developments ‌in ⁠the U.S.-Israeli operation. Let me say that a very substantial and, without doubt, useful exchange of ideas took place."

"Trump called Putin to discuss a number of extremely important topics related to the development of the international situation. The emphasis was placed on the situation around Iran and on the negotiations on Ukraine. Putin and Trump also discussed the situation on the oil market. I will say right away that the conversation was businesslike, frank and constructive, as it usually happens in a dialogue between Russian and American leaders. They haven't talked on the phone for a long time, the last time was in December 2025," Ushakov said, quoted by Pool No. 3.


...Trump chumming around with Putin, asking his advice, conferring with everyone on his Iran war but the American people.

5. Let's see if I understand: President Fuckwit starts a war; his good buddy joins the other side; then President Fuckwit

asks his good buddy on the other side for advice about how to proceed?

So ... is President Fuckwit adhering to our Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort?

6. Remember

Trump is Putin puppet. He takes orders from Putin.

9. If he's taking orders from a guy who is helping target US troops, that sounds like treason

in the strict sense of the constitution
