Q: What would it take to force Zelenskyy and Putin to sit down together, maybe with you?

Trump: It’s going to happen, but it should have happened 3 months ago. 1/
Q: Are you closer today to secondary sanctions on Russia?

Trump: We're looking at that whole situation. It could be that we'll have to put secondary sanctions.

Q: Sooner than 50 days?

Trump: Maybe, yeah. 2/
Trump on the expiring nuclear arms reduction agreement between the U.S. and Russia in 6 months:

That's a big problem for the world when you take off nuclear restrictions.

That's not an agreement you want to expire. We're starting to work on that. 3/
Trump: Hamas pulled out of negotiating in Gaza. It was too bad. Hamas didn't really want to make a deal. I think they want to die, and it's very bad. 4/
Q: Macron said France will recognize the Palestinian state. Is it counterproductive?

Trump: What he says doesn't matter. It's not going to change anything.

He's a very good guy, I like him, but his statement doesn't carry any weight. 5/
Q: What do you think of the trade deal with the EU?

Trump: We have a 50/50 chance, maybe less, of making a deal with the EU. It'll be a deal where they have to buy down their 30% tariffs. 6/
Trump: We made a deal with Japan. Japan is putting up $550B to lower their tariffs, and they are also open for free trade with the U.S.

Maybe we get such a deal with the EU. 7/
Q: Do you think that the Supreme Court's ruling on presidential immunity would apply to Obama?

Trump: It probably helps him a lot. He's done criminal acts, but he has immunity. 8X

Stalin expected to crush Finland in 10 days. It took 105 days and 400,000 Soviet casualties. He got 10% of Finnish territory.

Putin invaded Ukraine expecting a quick victory parade. 4 years later, Russia controls just 20% of pre-war Ukrainian territory — WP. 1/ Image
Stalin's USSR had 170 million people vs Finland's 3.5 million. A Soviet general told Stalin it would take 10 days max.

Molotov said Stalin wanted to celebrate his birthday "on the steps of Finland's Parliament in precisely 20 days." 2/
The war ended March 13, 1940 — over three months later with massive Soviet losses the Kremlin concealed.

Stalin had to settle for a fraction of what he wanted. Sound familiar? 3/

Petraeus: This is Ukraine's greatest generation.

When the cessation of hostilities begins, we're going to see Ukraine as the greatest military industrial complex in the West, building an entirely new country focused on new technologies and new economic endeavors. 1/
Petraeus: Ukraine is producing tomorrow's technology for today's war. West produces yesterday's technology for tomorrow's wars. That's got to be changed dramatically.

They've got to overhaul that, bring it more up to date, to reflect how warfare is evolving on the ground, in the air and on the sea in Ukraine. 2/
Petraeus: What allies have got to do is not fall into the trap of buying legacy systems rather than buying what is the future of warfare. The place to see that is in Ukraine.

We‘ve got to learn how they have shortened the kill chain. It starts with new concepts for operations that turn into doctrine. 3X

Rubio: The US and Europe are heirs to the same civilization.

From language to law to government, America is built on Western foundations. This alliance is not just military or commercial, it is civilizational. 1/
Rubio: When the US sounds critical about Europe, it is because we care. Our fate is intertwined with Europe’s. We want Europe to survive and prosper.

But this must be an alliance of partners willing and capable of fighting for who they are and what matters to them. 2/
Rubio: China is not the new Soviet Union. But there are parallels. Our future will be stronger if we address shared challenges together.

Great powers must maintain dialogue. It would be irresponsible not to talk and avoid unnecessary conflict. 3X

Starmer: Europe is a sleeping giant. Our economies dwarf Russia’s — by more than 10 times over. We have enormous defense capabilities.

Europe has more than 20 types of frigates, around 10 types of fighter jets, over 10 types of main battle tanks. Meanwhile, the US has one. 1/
Starmer: Russia has made a huge strategic blunder in Ukraine. Russian casualties number well over a million.

But even as the war continues, Russia is rearming and reconstituting its armed forces and industrial base. 2/
Starmer: Even if a peace deal in Ukraine is struck, Russia’s rearmament would likely only accelerate. The wider danger to Europe would not end there. It would increase.

We must respond to this threat in full. 3/

Rubio: The U.S. is not leaving NATO. We have thousands of troops deployed and may shift some forces, as we always have, but our commitment stands.

We welcome stronger NATO capabilities and greater influence from allies. That’s a positive, not a threat.

1/
Rubio: We don’t want Europe to be dependent on America. We’re not asking Europe to be a vassal, we want to be partners.

The stronger each country and NATO as a whole are, the stronger the alliance is.

Europe: “We’ll send peacekeeping troops to Ukraine.”

Voters: “No, you won’t.”

Politico: 53% of Germans oppose sending troops. 43% of French voters say no. Even if that risks a fragile ceasefire.

1/ Image
Only the U.K. and Canada show more support than opposition for sending troops to secure a postwar deal.

Western unity fractures when boots hit the ground.

2/
In the U.S., 43% oppose deploying troops to Ukraine. 37% support it.

That aligns with Trump’s position: no American forces will be sent.
