Trump is in talks with Russia to end the war

[Oldcarpy2]

I think it's fairly clear by now (if not for a while now) that Putin is not interested in ending his War and , to put it mildly, is not sincere about peace talks.

Here's hoping that's just your opinion and will be proven false.
I think once he gets Donbass and Crimea officially he will sign.

I hope so, too.

But it may be the triumph of hope over experience.

The noises coming out of the Kremlin are not very encouraging.

Indeed.  It is actually more valuable in my opinion, to read the news on DI, as it is filtered here, because a large part of the bias-icing and attempted-slant are filtered away by who posts it and what quotes they choose to select; as we here are GENERALLY more about info and facts than pushing narratives.  Pick the wheat from the chaff.
The MSM largely takes pro-activeness on Trump's part and excitement to get things done, and tries to spin it into something negative, which blows me mind.
Whether it be 'Putin whore' or 'narcissistic' or 'despotic ruler' 

I will be flabbergasted if the two kids, Z and P can actually sit down and talk first without needing a T as a mediator or the like.

Yes, all true, but it would be must-see TV.. I cant remember peace talks ever without a mediator 

I can't see anything positive coming from this... unless Zelenskyy can convince Putin to decide the war by a dance off...

Even clearer is Putin does not trust Zelenskyy to stop hostilities!!

Behind the scenes people saying sanctions against Russia will cripple Russia, but threaten EU Gas supplies!!!!!!!

Putin is the invader.

He wants Ukraine demiitarised.

Wonder why?

As for trust, how many agreements has he broken?

Looks like Trump may be in line for a Nobel Appeasement Prize...
