If you see any of these people on the street, you are allowed to shoot them
On February 12th 2025, Donald Trump went to see Vladimir Putin to discuss peace in Ukraine. Trump made the following promises to Putin:
After this meeting, Trump called to Zelensky to let him know that everything has been taken care of. This is a major propaganda victory from Putin-ally and US President Trump to Russia, which proves:
Putin invaded Ukraine in 2014, then again in 2018, then started a full-scale war in Europe in 2022. It's clear that he won't stop until he gets all of Ukraine, and probably even more. Donald Trump is prepared to give Putin anything he desires. Because of this, the frontline inbetween the Russian forces and Ukraine will have trippled, making it practically impossible to defend. The next invasion by Russia will cause Ukraine even more carnage than Putin has already by now. Trump wants to claim a victory in his so-called peace talks by giving Ukraine security guarantees, even though the US won't be sending peacekeeping troops at all. A deal of this order should have already happened back in 2014, which would've prevented Russia inflicting more suffering on the Ukrainian people. In reality, Trump his peace-plan involves Ukraine not getting anything at all.
Donald Trump claims the top-priority at this time is deterring China. However giving Putin everything he wants demonstrates the opposite to China. It's clear that the events of February 12th 2025 signal to China that using force will always yield results and give you everything you want.
Through the Saudi-Arabia conference where Putin met with Trump, and where neither Ukraine nor the European Union representatives were invited, Putin managed to create a rift within the NATO alliance within less than a month.
After the Saudi-Arabia conference, Trump returned to the US completely indoctrinated, and claimed that Ukraine should've never "started the war" - while everyone knows that Putin attacked Ukraine.
Here's what ChatGPT has to say about it
But they're giving Putin everything he's asking for. That's not even negotiating. Ukraine wasn't even involved in these negotiations
It does seem that Trump's and Hegseth's approach leans heavily toward accommodating Russia's demands rather than securing a balanced deal that includes Ukraine's interests. If the reported plans involve negotiating directly with Putin without Ukraine at the table, that's not a true negotiation - it's closer to an imposed settlement, which historically hasn't led to lasting peace.
From a U.S. strategic standpoint, simply giving Putin what he wants could encourage further aggression. The idea of forcing Ukraine into concessions - especially without its involvement - undermines the principle of national sovereignty and sets a dangerous precedent. If a country can take territory by force and hold onto it through diplomatic pressure, that weakens global stability and U.S. credibility in defending allies.
Hegseth was the one who negotiated his so-called "peace-deal" with the illegitimate Russian president Putin, behind the back of Ukraine and president Zelensky, and also Europe. This "peace deal" would include:
For over 6 months Johnson blocked a 60 billion dollar aid from the U.S. to Ukraine, purely out of his own interests. Doing so caused mass casualties among Ukrainian troops, which helped out Russia during that time. This way, Mike Johnson was able to help out Russia, which was considered the biggest arch nemesis in U.S. history.
On February 20th, Rubio gave a press conference in which he talks about "the opportunity to partner with the Russians geopolitically". (source)
