At the end of the day, after Trump’s exhausted all his bluster and gimmicks, Russia will still be winning the war. From Simplicius at simplicius76.substack.com:
Trump finally ‘wowed’ the world today with his grand announcement on punitive measures against Russia.
As usual, the announcement struck a dull and lackluster chord for most, with Russian markets jubilantly jumping by nearly 3% in response. But let’s dig in to see whether there is actually more meat on the bone of Trump’s scary threats than people give credit for.
Firstly, the timing: Axios now reports that Putin allegedly told Trump he plans to ‘intensify’ the Russian summer offensive in the next 60 days, with the goal—according to some sources—purportedly being to capture the remainder of nominal Russian territory, i.e. Donetsk, Lugansk, and Zaporozhye oblasts.
Axios: According to Trump, Putin allegedly told him about plans to intensify the offensive in Ukraine in the next 60 days.
Trump shared details of the conversation with the Russian leader with his French counterpart Macron, adding: “He wants to take everything.”
It was after this conversation, according to the publication, that Trump criticized Putin and promised to increase arms supplies to Ukraine.
If there’s any hint of truth to such reports, then Trump’s “50-day notice” would seem to line up with Putin’s timeline, given that the conversation happened days ago, and thus Putin’s “60-day plan” would fall almost precisely on Trump’s deadline.
