Russia

Views from the nation’s press

After believing in Russian leader Vladimir Putin for the last 10 years as trustworthy old Vlad, President Donald Trump has now correctly decided that Putin may not be the most honest of interlocutors on the world stage. This realization compelled Trump to finally release additional weapons to Ukraine and threaten Russia with steep tariffs if it doesn’t reach a ceasefire within 50 days. Putin, for his part, has reacted just as we’d expect: telling Trump and everyone else to pound sand because he’s going to do just whatever he pleases.
