⚡️Putin doesn’t fear #Trump — he mocks him.

Trump offered talks. #Putin sent third-rate losers, kept bombing #Kharkiv.

This isn’t #diplomacy. It’s delay.

He wants time, not peace. And we’re letting him buy it.

End the games: Make Putin fear for his #regime.

#Putin is not seeking peace. He’s buying time. Time to rearm, time to strike again, and time to see if the West is still too weak to act.

In Istanbul, the U.S. sent its Sec. of State. #Ukraine sent its president.

Putin? He sent bombs onto civilians in #Kharkiv.

This isn’t #diplomacy. It’s manipulation. It’s mockery.

It is time to end the Putin regime.

Another day, another Trump rally song. This time it's the YMCA in Saudi Arabia. It’s a bizarre attempt to project an image of warmth and connection amidst a complex geopolitical landscape - let's not mistake this for genuine engagement. #Trump #Diplomacy https://www.npr.org/2025/05/15/nx-s1-5398364/trump-mosque-abu-dhabi

🚨 BREAKING: With #Trump at the table, Qatar just signed a deal to buy 160 #Boeing planes — the largest purchase of its kind in the company’s history.

The same Qatar gifting him a $400M jet, bankrolling real estate, and now locking in deals on U.S. soil.

Call it #diplomacy if you want.

But from here? It’s looking a whole lot like quid pro jet.
