Trump Brings the Heat to Russia

Whether it is Russia, China or any other evil world power, there has to be continual pressure on them to prevent them from growing and advancing the evil. We can not simply ignore them and think that they will not exist, the events of the past prove that theory to be WRONG, NAEIVE, and FULLISH. Evil never rests, thus good must do the same.

Absolutely. Monetary pain is the only way to stop him.

Using what ever tools are available to not only defeat Putin but crush him.

Absolutely, YES. Putin is the aggressor and must be stopped. Ukraine like Israel, should they laydown their weapons will be crushed. If Russia quits and goes home the world will continue. Russia must give up all lands captured and go home and pay to rebuild what it destroyed. JJW

I don't think he has any choice. Putin may ultimately agree to negotiate, but you can't trust anything Putin says. His actions will speak the loudest. If he doesn't negotiate, it's a scary situation.

Yes, yes, yes! Putin only understands strength. The author of "The Art of the Deal" should certainly recognize that he's getting played. His current response is embarrassing. We're most definitely NOT dealing from a position of strength. We're projecting American weakness.

Agree all below. Russia needs to be economically neutered. The Russian aristocracy will then take care of Putin. Militarily, Russia is at a weak moment. Time to gather our friends and push Russia out of Eastern Europe and Middle East. Set up trading agreements with India and certain African countries. Then approach China with a proposal they can’t refuse and takeout rogue Despot of North Korea and let China expand into that territory. Much better to negotiate with a Sophisticated leader like Jinping than a person who thinks they are a god. Let’s reduce our competition to business not military disputes. Than

We can not allow Russia to take Ukraine. The sea ports, precious metals, research facilities, agriculture and gate way to Europe poses a clear a present danger to the EU and American security.

One way or another Russia must be stopped now!! Me need a Russian led coup to overthrow the Putin oligarchy.
Putin threatens to use Nukes, chemical and bio warefare.
It is justifiable now Perhaps to destroy all of his satellites, fleets, launch sites, air bases, barracks, sea ports, oil refineries, food production facilities, air ports, communications antennas, research facilities, dams, major bridges, utilities, hosptals, and infrastructure with a devastating pre-emptive strike. We would be wise to elimite NK simultaneously. Putin and his oligarchy need to expeditiously be sent to hell ASAP!!!

I think these United States have done more than enough already. It’s time for the EU to step up, make their own mess. How much more are we supposed to give? What’s it going to take—American boots on the ground before Russia finally stops? I’m not willing to sacrifice one more drop of blood or another dollar for that thief running Ukraine or for Putin. Do we really think sanctions are going to keep working?

Zelenskyy came to the White House on live TV acting like a thug, threatening to bring his war to America. He got put in his place, but now we’re supposed to jump when he snaps his fingers? Give me a break. I’m a Marine, and this should’ve been over already. To me, it looks like some rich players are lining their pockets by keeping this inevitable war alive and draining U.S. stockpiles. Good job Biden, Pelosi, McConnell.

It’s time we focus on America. Let that region deal with its own problems for a while so we can rebuild after Biden’s disastrous presidency and his damned autopen.

No. Now its time to bow out. American are SICK of funding with taxpayer dollars, a war that we have ZERO to do with. NO MORE MONEY TO UKRAINE. PERIOD.

Putin is evil & will stop & nothing to possess the Ukraine. He needs to be stopped by any & all free countries working together against his evil regime.

Yes because it’s a very real threat to the western civilization. It must be addressed, because Putin is going to take it further. Do what it takes to brake the will of Putin and the rest who support Him.

Shold Trump cripple Russia? That's a very broad question. How exactly would Trump go about crippling Russia.

You can't negotiate with Evil (Putin) and expect to win - whatever is necessary to stop him and those like him is essential - putting your head in the sand and believing he will come around is naive and foolish. Take the economy down and the Russian people will take care of him - it may surprise some but Russia would like to live in peace also.

Ignoring Putin's aggression will only lead to more countries being invaded. President Trump is working for peace. Putin must realize that peace is what he should be seeking and stop the indiscriminate killing of Ukrainian civilians. Putin and his cronies must pay a serious price. Never forget Putin was a KGB thug -- a smart one but still KGB. He only understands strength and always takes advantage of weakness.

I think this a very good start...follow up with truth in his words.

Yes, and well said Jorge Rios, yesterday

A100% YES!

Don't give Russia ANY time to tamp down their offensive. Crucify him & Russia NOW! They will do nothing less than throw everything they have at Ukraine from the other however many days they have "had" to reach a cease-fire. Either Putin has a blackmail file or two on Trump (e.g., Epstein "files" or something similar) or Trump is chicken-crap scared Putin won't "like" him anymore. Jeez, what lunacy!

Putin has proved himself to be a liar and a war criminal. He will not stop until crushed however that is achieved.

Yes, but I don’t think Putin cares if his people die. Look how many have died already. He will not need voted out.

Whatever it takes to get the ball rolling.

"Putin, however, remains undeterred in his quest to conquer Ukraine. Why? Because he’s winning. Russia is slowly but surely taking more of Ukraine’s land, and as far back as 2023, Ukraine’s government was admitting it didn’t have enough men, regardless of how much weaponry the US and EU send." This statement pretty much gives us the answer. No, we should not cause more upheaval. Russia, has not been suffering economically. Their citizens currently enjoy an economy better than ours. And they are winning. Leave the two dictators to duke it out. I hate forever wars. I don't like participating in wars that are not ours. I don't believe in the wholesale murder of the common people for the games of elite leaders and governments. I don't like that one war causes more damage to the environment and the climate, than 10 years of normal human activity on the entire face of the planet. Why is it that the only way we know how to solve a problem is with violence, chaos and murder?

Yes

Yes, should have done it months ago.
