> I’d rather have leaders willing to push back than the so-called "adults" who let this war start and then kept it going on autopilot.

What are you talking about? Putin started this war and I don't see Trump pushing back against him.

So far Trump has _failed_ to broker a deal to end this war. That fact is incontrovertible. At this point I don't understand why Trump doesn't just walk away. If he's not willing to help Ukraine anymore, he can just say so and explicitly change US policy. Everyone already knows that's the truth anyway. He should stop wasting everyone's time.



Putin started the war, but U.S. policy played a major role in keeping it going. The so-called "adults" spent years writing blank checks, refusing to push for peace, and actively discouraging negotiations.

Trump has been in office for barely a month, and you're already declaring his efforts a "failure"? Wars don’t end in 30 days, especially when the previous administration spent two years fueling it instead of pushing for a resolution.

America operates on its own timeline, not anyone else's. If we want to change our approach to Ukraine, we should do it in a way that aligns with our interests, not because of some artificial urgency. The fact that negotiations are already moving forward with Putin should tell you something: a real process is happening. If the previous administration had done its job, we wouldn’t even be in this mess.
