It's official. Not only has the war not ended in 24 hours or 100 days but the US will no longer act a mediator in any talks between Russia and Ukraine. More Trump winning...actually this is a very good thing we did nothing but relay Putin's unreasonable demands to Ukraine anyway. If Trump wants those minerals anytime soon he knows what he must do. Send Ukraine what they need to win this war and then send some more.

US pulling out of Ukraine-Russia peace talks after mineral deal

State Department spokeswoman Tammy Bruce said Thursday, May 1, that the U.S. will no longer be the “mediators” in these negotiations. She added that the methodology of how the U.S. contributes to peace talks will change.

Bruce said the administration remains committed to ending the war and will do what it can but will no longer “fly around the world at the drop of a hat to mediate meetings. She added that these negotiations are “now between the two parties,” adding, “now is the time that they need to present and develop concrete ideas about how this conflict is going to end.”

“It’s going to be up to them,” Bruce said.

Somewhere Putin is smiling.
Really? All Trump did was to relay Putin's demands to Ukraine and now he has backed out of that. He also signed the minerals deal with Ukraine and won't get a bit of those rare earths until Russia is out of Ukraine. That means he needs to help Ukraine win this war quickly.

So many lies.

" I will get it settled before I even become president,” the Republican said during his debate with Vice President Kamala Harris on Tuesday. If I win, when I’m president-elect and what I’ll do is I’ll speak to one, I’ll speak to the other, I’ll get them together.”

Exactly what is your beef :)?
 
Apparently like healthcare...who knew it would be so hard? So much for 24 hours....and the Israeli/Palestinian thing didn't work out so well either. The world is complicated.....

So you are happy that Trump has no choice but to help Ukraine win if he wants any of those rare earths that his "deal" will give him? There will be no mining until Russia is defeated and leaves Ukraine with its tail between its legs. Apparently Trump has decided that the "Russian war machine" is not so undefeatable as he thought. Perhaps the donkeys on the front line and the Russian assaults on electric scooters convinced him.
 
So why did this happen? Putin probably let Trump know that he was upset because Trump had talked to Zelenskyy on an amicable basis a couple of times and Trump then had to throw Zelensky overboard in order to get back into the good graces of his BFF Putin.

I will rather you address what I expressely state; not what you extrapolate
 
Trump is tired being asked about his promise to end it. This puts a stop to that discomfort.

The posturing is hilarious given the fact the US used donkeys in Afghanistan.
