Well, howdy there, internet people, it's Bell again.

So today, we're going to talk about Trump being strung along by Putin.

As Trump made his, quote, final offer for peace, which was a non-starter to begin with,

he tried to make it seem like Ukraine was the aggressor that didn't want peace and that Putin was actively seeking an end to the fight.

It didn't take long for that position to be shown to be false.

Shortly after Trump indicated, they were on the verge of peace.

Putin launched one of the largest aerial operations in years, hitting major cities in the process.

It's hard to believe this was designed to do anything other than sabotage any peace deal and make Trump look weak.

Trump took to social media to post, quote,

I'm not happy with the Russian strikes on Kiev, not necessary, and very bad timing.

Vladimir, stop. 5,000 soldiers a week are dying. Let's get the peace deal done.

An important note is that civilians were hit during the Russian strikes. Zelensky said, quote,

Even in the midst of international diplomatic efforts to end this war, Russia continues killing

civilians. That means Putin is not afraid. He added, quote, there must be a full and unconditional halt to the strikes, and Russia must agree to it.

This war must be ended justly, and to truly guarantee the safety of our people, we need to strengthen our air shield.

Trump has also cast Russia not seizing the entirety of Ukraine as a concession from Putin.

He said Russia's concession were, quote, stopping the war, stopping from taking the whole country.

Pretty big concession. Reminder, Russia hasn't been able to take Ukraine in years of fighting. Russia

didn't elect not to take the whole country. They failed. Imagine being a Ukrainian, especially if

you're one of the thousands that deployed to fight alongside the U.S. in a U.S. war in the Middle East, who has since fought for

years to stop Russia. Hearing the head of an allied nation say that Russia not taking the country

was a concession. But that leads us to another quote from Trump. I have no allegiance to anybody.
