Trump&#8217;s whole game here was an immediate ceasefire ordered by Putin, everything else was just smoke. In hindsight, he seems more and more annoyed that he doesn&#8217;t get an immediate ceasefire in his statements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Now we know that Putin DESPERATELY needs this&#8230;).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now we know this and it is indisputable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>RUMINT was that Trump tried to cancel the meeting with Zelensky, who went there anyway, apparently did not get the meeting cancellation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The next rumor circulating now is that Zelensky was asked to just take the crap and keep a good face, but he had the audacity to be honest instead (I added the last part of course).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Previously, we knew that &#8220;Ukraine can continue to fight&#8221; \u2013 we had that on film from Trump as long as they signed the &#8220;agreement,&#8221; which was a poorly written opinion declaration at best.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But Trump has obviously been working all along towards a ceasefire &#8211; now we know that. It was supposed to come immediately so negotiations could begin. A classic Russian trick that we already know, and all they are doing is using the water break for round two.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So it was basically Chamberlain straight up but with a purpose and hidden agenda \u2013 to benefit Russia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Apparently Trump is also extending the sanctions against Russia for another year, maybe to add some nuance \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/substackcdn.com\/image\/fetch\/f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep\/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F68637f2f-eef2-4c40-9d78-04b61560035c_750x776.png\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/substackcdn.com\/image\/fetch\/w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep\/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F68637f2f-eef2-4c40-9d78-04b61560035c_750x776.png\" alt=\"\" style=\"width:471px;height:auto\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>But threats have already been made that Trump will cut off all sorts of support to Ukraine as revenge, and that they will leave NATO and all troops will leave Europe.
