Putin praises Trump: He will solve the war in Ukraine.

Russian president says ‘intelligent’ US president-elect will find solution to Ukraine war

Putin praised Trump as “intelligent” on Thursday, in comments apparently designed to make a positive impression on the president-elect. He said he had been shocked by the assassination attempt on Trump during the campaign.

“In my opinion, he is not safe now,” Putin said. “Unfortunately, in the history of the United States, various incidents have happened. I think he [Trump] is intelligent and I hope he’s cautious and understands this.”

He suggested Joe Biden’s decision to allow the use of long-range weapons could either be a ploy to help Trump by giving him a future bargaining chip or an attempt to make Trump’s relations with Russia more difficult. Either way, he said, Trump would “find the solution” to the Ukraine war, and he claimed Moscow was ready for dialogue

1. Why is Putin threatening Trump?

Why is he saying Trump is not safe, and he hopes Trump "understands" this?

4. It sounds like a veiled threat to me.

If Trump falls out of an open window, we'll know who to blame.

7. That is my read of it. Putin also threatened Zelensky recently.

Putin said he was going to bomb all of Ukraine's decision making centers.
Where of course Zelensky and his advisors are located.

So in two days Putin is threatening to kill both Zelensky and Trump.

I wonder why.

I wonder if Trump is stalling on his promise to Putin to hand him Ukraine?
Maybe asking both Zelensky and Putin how much his support is worth to each of them.
Asking for cold hard cash.

2. The solution to Ukraines problem was that the jackass shouldn't have invaded

Ukraine in the first place.

3. Intelligent...

belongs in the quotation marks. It’s hilarious, putin doesn’t think he’s intelligent and he knows trump couldn’t think his way out of a wet paper bag.

5. This is a distraction..these two have already agreed on what's going to happen.

8. TrDumpee Humpty and Putie have it all worked out in advance,...

.... during one of their many late night lovey dovey phone calls.

1.) TrDumpee shuts off the funding spigot for Ukraine. No more USA money and no more USA weapons.

2.) Ukraine turns over 1/3 of their land to Russia as war reparations. Because they violated the promise not to join NATO or entertain the thought of becoming part of the European Union.

Russia will forgive Ukraine for being so dishonest and breaking those agreements.

Everything will be delightful thereafter - unless Putie sometime in the future seeks to grab some more land of his neighbors and call it his own.

6. "I think he [Trump] is intelligent..."

Flatter your useful idiot with lies to keep him engaged and compliant.

Trump is eating this up.
