It isn't Putin who Trump is leaning on here, it's the European globalists. China being the world's factory with massive trade imbalances is the globalist strategy. Not Putin's
Putin is already on board with Ukraine peace. He always was as long as they aren't a danger to Russia.
I have a slightly different take on this. I think Trump is leaning on thee deep state actors within Putin administration. Its much better optics for Putin to tell his DS people that they have to sign a peace deal if Chinese "escape hatch" is closed, otherwise these folks would pressure him saying "We have China to help us, we can keep prolonging this".
Remember, every country has its DS and all of them need to be cleaned up. Some (like in Iran) with missiles, and others with more finesse.
If we hear soon that Medvedev, for instance, has to leave politics for any reason we will know that this theory is correct.
it's fun that none of you think that china is funding ukraine through the europeans. really should step back from what you've been taught. does china want a strong neighbor to the north or one they can conquer--their timeline is longer than yours.
Really, he's threatening the globalists. Tariffs stop their games.
Thanks Mod.
From R.D. Martin
Bigger picture:
Trump is tying China’s fate to Russia’s war.
Beijing can keep funding Putin — or face tariffs that could collapse its increasingly fragile economy.
Or Putin can make peace and solve everyone's problem.
Trump isn’t just negotiating peace.
He’s weaponizing U.S. economic power to bring both Russia and China to heel.
And that is bringing peace.
I disagree with R.D. Martin's exact take.

So the Ukraine war is a proxy war between the globalist (who profit by it) and the dragon lords of China?
Make quite a bit of sense
