President-elect Donald Trump said Russia and Iran are in a “weakened state” and called on Kremlin leader Vladimir Putin to end the nearly three-year war in Ukraine.

    So that was his big plan he refused to share? Tell Putin to make a deal? This man-child is a damn clown

      His plan was to force Ukraine to agree to the terms Russia sets and loudly proclaim that he did the best deal and made it all happen. Reality doesn’t matter to his supporters.

    It’d be funny if Trump turns on Putin and then Putin exacts revenge. Pure fantasy, I’m sure but, hey, more fucked up things have happened.

      For Putin, Trump being unpredictable was a win as he still undermined the USA, when Russia’s interests weren’t involved. However, in Russian matters, he would want control over his puppet. As Republicans have found, Trump isn’t that controllable. It could well backfire for Putin. The fact that Putin seemed to control him first time round, means likely there is some konpromat or debt. Does Trump still care?
