It's worse than that Trump is also actually denigrating his own troops (not for the first time) but he's too dumb to realise it.

"NATO troops ‘stayed off the front lines’ in Afghanistan".

Guess who the largest member of NATO is? Yes it's the USA!

Trump is a cowardly, despicable, arsehole, end of.
It really is amazing to listen to a guy who faked bone spurs to avoid serving in the military denigrate combat veterans of our allies while also using “we” when referencing the historical sacrifices and bravery of our own soldiers.

Note Russia AND the USA are pressuring Ukraine to give up the Donbas. Let that sink in, clear Russian/US Axis of Evil. There is no compromise here, giving up circa 30% of Ukraine (& the people on it) is capitulation, end of. Rewarding a thief just encourages more theft & will be the end of Ukraine.
❗️During the negotiations, Ukraine and Russia did not come close to a compromise — Reuters writes that the US and Russia are pressuring Ukraine to give up Donbas

It's just the same cycle that's been going on since Istanbul in 2022. Putin tells Ukraine to give it everything he's asking for, which is capitulation, when they say no, Putin's poodle Trump blames Zelenskyy. Putin also wants to dismember NATO and who has his poodle been denigrating this week?
Russia obviously has no intentions whatsoever to end the war prematurely, i.e. before a complete surrender of Ukraine. The current negotiations are just playing for time, as always. Russia knows that the US are not going to ramp up military support, and Europe is too weak.

So even while the phoney 'peace' (surrender) negotiations are ongoing in the UAE the Russian terrorist state launches more hypersonic and ballistic missiles at civilian targets in Ukraine. The message is clear, but weak, deluded politicians still fail to see it. Baltics next then Poland.
January 24, 2026 at 9:06 AM
The Board of Piece, a true kakistocracy if ever I saw one. After the bombing comes the extortion. No doubt after Gaza the model will be rolled out to Ukraine, Venezuala, Iran and anywhere else the Orange King can 'make a deal'.

Glad to see the back of Maduro but acting like the German Nazis in Europe or the Russian Scum in Ukraine or the Iran regime is not what the USA should be doing in Venezuala, but seems it is. No doubt it's also the plan for Greenland.

Trump is so dumb he hasn't got a clue about anything, Ukraine, Greenland, Gaza, Climate, you name it. Americans have to look in the mirror & ask themselves how did the dumbest & most amoral arsehole get to be POTUS, not once but twice, despite being a 34 times convicted felon & pal of Epstein? 🙄
January 23, 2026 at 10:30 PM
Europe needs to wake up & smell the coffee, statements coming out of the USA about Europe are along the lines of:

"You can do anything. Grab them by the pussy”.

That is the mentality of USA politicians & it's not just Trump, see Greg Steube's comments. These people are just moronic fuckwits.
January 23, 2026 at 9:11 PM
How did the Ukraine 'peace' (surrender) negotiations go today? I expect the orange oaf Trump will be blaming Zelenskyy come Sunday evening in one of those pathetic arircraft door briefings that he does.
January 23, 2026 at 7:43 PM
This is all part of the Putin/Trump Axis of Evil plan to carve up the world. Russia in Ukraine with the Donbas, USA with Greenland & now in Canada with Alberta, it goes along with weakening allies (well ex allies in my book as I now regard the USA as an enemy, politicians are catching up slowly).
Bessent pushes Albertan independence from Canada: "Albertans are very independent people. There's a rumor they may have a referendum on whether they want to stay in Canada or not. People are talking. People want sovereignty. They want what the US has got."

"IRGC Aerospace Force Commander: Trump talks too much; He'll have his response on the battlefield."

May get interesting in Iran soon...
January 23, 2026 at 7:11 PM
I see that despite Ukraine, Iran and Greenland that Epstein is top of the trending chart again ready for the weekend. This is a ghost that'll never go away, no matter how many times the felon in chief Trump claims he hardly knew the guy and it's all just a Democrat hoax.
January 23, 2026 at 3:53 PM
No, they may bring surrender by Ukraine, more bullying by Trump and more attacks by Putin but the one thing they won't bring is peace.
January 23, 2026 at 3:41 PM
In the long term that will be good because then Ukraine and Europe will have to develop alternatives (which they should have done ages ago anyway) as it stops Trump, the overgrown toddler squatting in the White House, using US weapons supplies as a tool to bully others.
Buying weapons in the US may become more difficult due to the situation with Greenland: NATO Ambassador Alyona Getmanchuk

Ukraine is increasingly becoming a de facto member of NATO, although official accession is still far away.

Is TACO Trump's two week timeline on Greenland like his two week timelines to Putin to have a ceasefire in Ukraine or else? First thing I would do if an arsehole like Trump gave me a two week deadline is make damn sure I took much longer, in fact as long as I liked, maybe forever and a day.
January 23, 2026 at 3:34 PM
It's just Putin's 2022 Istanbul surrender terms in Trump's MAGA Moron gift wrap with some sweeties thrown in. It's capitulation for false promises from a lying felon. Weak Europeans watch on impotently. Set your clocks for how long before Trump starts blaming Zelenskyy is he refuses to surrender.
#BREAKING | 🇺🇸 🇺🇦 🇷🇺 — U.S. President Trump has proposed that Ukraine cede control of parts of the Donbas region to Russia.

— In exchange, Ukraine would receive substantial financial aid for reconstruction (up to $800 billion mentioned in related reporting) and long-term security guarantees

If Ukraine wants to give 30% of its land & people to Russia to stop the bombing and shelling for a short period that's up to them, but a peace deal it is not, never was, never will be. Be clear it's capitulation based on promises from Putin & Trump, two of the biggest lying arseholes ever known.
"Land swap": The tiny blue areas (squint to see) are where Russia proposes to withdraw, big-ass orange territory is the highly strategic land they demand that Ukraine should cede in exchange for a temporary "peace". This is the absolutely insane sticking point in negotiations. Doomed from the start

If Ukraine gives up the Donbas to appease Putin & his poodle Trump it's the beginning of the end for Ukraine in my view. Russia will have taken about 30% of its land (and more importantly its people) which will then be used to reward Russian & American Oligarchs. It will be worse than Minsk I & II.
🇺🇦 Currently, "the issues of Donbas are key" and will be discussed "today and tomorrow" in Abu Dhabi, — Zelensky.
January 23, 2026 at 11:24 AM
The west lives in a perpetual state of delusion:

1. They hope Putin doesn't mean it when he states his conditions for Ukraine to surrender

2. They hope Trump's Security Guarantees will hold despite the US betraying Ukraine in 2014, 2022 & 2025

3. They hope NATO & Europe will grow a backbone
Kremlin spokesman Peskov yet again demands Ukrainian forces leave Donbas as Russia's "key condition."
Donbas tops the agenda at Abu Dhabi talks, Axios reports, with Zelenskyy confirming all sides will discuss their positions. US sends Witkoff, Kushner, Driscoll; Ukraine – Umerov, Budanov, Kyslytsia, Hnatov; Russia led by GRU chief Kostiukov.
January 23, 2026 at 10:15 AM
Bit of a give away when the cowardly moron Trump gets outraged by a Democrat hoax, the Epstein files (I hardly knew the guy) and now by a Democrat scam. I'm sure Jack Smith will be prosecuted on trumped up charges (pun intended). It's the Russian way don't you know. Putin trains his agents well.
January 23, 2026 at 8:33 AM
The latter obviously. Everyone with an IQ over 10 knows this is all about getting Ukraine to accept Putin's terms in exchange for some worthless security guarantees & a resource carve up (with 10% for the fat orange guy). It's what Trump & his Consigliere have been working on all the time.
Will they finally manage a meaningful concession out of Russia or will they fail again and blame Ukraine for wanting to exist?
The band is back together again.
January 23, 2026 at 8:11 AM
I hate this cowardly PoS Trump more every day. Betrays Ukraine, threatens Greenland, infers only US fought in Afghanistan. Say it to their faces. 457 Brits, 159 Canadians, 90 French, 62 Germans, 53 Italians, 44 Polish, 43 Danes, 41 Aussies & others died there.
