Trump: Russia Must Be Allowed To Keep Fighting As Part Of Any Ceasefire Deal

[Zorro]

WASHINGTON—Growing increasingly frustrated by the protracted diplomatic talks, President Donald Trump asserted Thursday that Russia must be allowed to keep fighting as part of any ceasefire deal.

“It’s time for Ukraine to come to the negotiating table and accept being attacked,” said Trump, who accused Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky of acting as a barrier to peace by objecting to drone and missile strikes.

“It’s a shame Zelensky has been so stubborn about it. It’s a fantastic deal for both sides. Any scenarios that do not allow for the Ukrainian death toll to rise is a nonstarter.”

Trump added the agreement was essential for stopping the prevention of World War III.

Even though it's the Onion it does sound like something Trump would say...

2. THANK GOD it's the ONION...

But, no. I was NOT sure.

[sheshe2]

4. Neither was I!

Sad, isn’t it.

[Mystery sage]

5. Holy crap thank God

We are way past the point where his brain would probably think this up. Super scary!!!

[Leith]

9. It got me, too

tsf certainly IS capable of such idiocy.

I'm glad it isn't real.

[sakabatou]

12. Same

6. A very apt onion

Sounds like a putrumka plan.

7. Again

Almost all the way through before I realized it was The Onion. Because we all know he's totally capable of saying stuff that stupid.

[blue-wave]

8. OMG!

You had my blood pressure spiking for a moment.

[Kaleva]

10. When you read the headline and are not sure if it's real or not...

[NewLarry]

11. Caught me!

I read the whole thing with growing rage and disbelief, then saw the source.

Well played.

[Warpy]

13. Talk about totally missing the point!

Apparently his bromance with Putin is still going strong.

Fortunately, most of the people here in the US and abroad know they're both full of shit.

[surfered]

14. It sounded like something he would say

[WestMichRad]

15. Are you sure the orange felon didn't actually say that?

I’m not!

[NotHardly]

16. That's only one of the dumbest things he's ever said.

[Wonder Why]

17. You know, as much as I don't like him, I have to go along with Krasnov on that one. I mean, after all, that if

I shot at my neighbor for no good reason and he shot back, then the police arranged an end to our feud, why can't I then shoot my neighbor in the back so he can't fire back? It's only fair!

I think you guys are just too uptight with your support of Ukraine.

Psst - sarcasm for those not in on the joke.
