Wow, the US truly has the most incompetent president in history. Just listening to how clueless this man is, it’s no wonder we have been humiliated in Iran. Trump: “The Russians had a thousand tanks riding up a concrete highway. They would have been in Ukraine in four hours, going maximum tank speed, which is 48 miles an hour, to be exact. Nothing to stop them. The war would have been over in one day. And this very stupid general - I have no idea who he is. I doubt he’s still with us. I doubt he’s still living. He decided to hang a right onto the farmland and then take a left and go up to Kyiv, rather than staying on the highway - the concrete highway, perfectly good highway - where they were doing very nicely. It would have been three and a half, four hours, and the whole war would have ended. He ended up getting stuck in the mud.” Does he understand that Ukrainian troops destroyed all the bridges and cut off the retreat points, so the only option left was to go off the highway? I mean, if you have the IQ of a 10-year-old child, you should be able to get it. I am honestly shocked at the basic level of ignorance. And this is the man who is in charge of the US Army.

Unbelievable
Things go from bad to worse. Trump 🇺🇸 seems to regret that 🇷🇺 didn’t conquer 🇺🇦 immediately, and blame the failure on some incompetent 🇷🇺 general. Who feeds him this strange stuff? Or does he just invent it because he wishes it was so?

BREAKING: President Trump says he's willing to meet with Putin and Xi to discuss ending the war in Ukraine, even if Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy isn't in the room. "Whatever I can do to end the war," Trump tells a reporter who presses him on whether Zelenskyy would need to attend. Trump also raises the possibility of meeting with Putin during his planned November trip to China, where he says denuclearization will be on the agenda. "If we can do denuclearization, I will have done the world a big, big favor."

Unless @SecRubio’s talk w/@ZelenskyyUa changes things, the US is squeezing Ukraine (& showering Russia w/offers) to get a bad deal that hands Putin a victory he failed to win in war & could not achieve but for poor US diplomacy. nytimes.com/2026/10/19/us/po…

“Russia, frankly, has been fine on Ukraine. They haven’t been doing much,” US President Donald Trump said. Just a couple of hours ago Russia killed one-year-old Angelina in her stroller in a park in Ukraine’s Kharkiv region. Her mother later died in hospital. An 11-year-old girl was also killed.

Ciekawe, czy @NawrockiKn i reszta nadwiślańskiego MAGA też tak uważa.

“Russia, frankly, has been fine on Ukraine. They haven’t been doing much,” US President Donald Trump said. For Ukrainians, those words sound very different. They live with the consequences of Russia “not doing much” every day.

Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Trump's remarks were made the same day Russia conducted a drone strike killing six civilians including children in a Kharkiv region park, plus missile and energy infrastructure attacks leaving hundreds of thousands without power. kyivindependent.com/what-russias-d… kyivindependent.com/russian-drone-… kyivindependent.com/russia-strikes…

SECRETARY RUBIO: People need to grow up when it comes to foreign policy a little bit. I don't think it's unusual for the three most powerful, nuclear-armed nations on Earth to have their leaders communicate with each other.

Ukraine's military has the world's best experience adapting & using emerging technologies in warfare. They offer us the benefit of their hard-earned knowledge. We should gain from that and not throw it away or, worse, let Russia take it over.
.@POTUS: "We've given a lot to Ukraine. They've given nothing to us. Remember that."
