I’m so glad Biden is out and Trump is in. Hopefully they bring peace to their nations. I know they need to figure something out cause Americans are over funding other peoples wars.

[peterhenson]

How can one talk peace when one started aggression, he is totally full of hypocrisy and never ever to be trusted.

This tweerd talking about
Show some respect to Ukraine!!!! and it's Leader Zelensjy first!!!

[karenhawkins]

Of course, he doesn't want Zelensky in the meeting. Zelensky understands all Putuns double talk and will call a soade a spade or, in this case, a liar a liar.

[SibongileMapeka]

It's about time to restore peace. It's enough this war is boring we lost interest of this useless war

[webbshelly]

Alright thank you. I like the sound of that.

[kalaakaalam]

Putin. If the video is real or not. I don't have any idea. But let me talk to Trump directly. I am well versed with you the same way I am well versed on Borris Johnson. This is my last day for a while. My ultimate presumption is china is the prime target. I don't generally give away my ultimate inputs. But I don't have time. Let me try to get humanity to the next level.

Biden supporters: “Oh look Trumps best friends with Putin again”

[tominnis]

Hopefully Ukraine will stick to their conditions as already stated. Nothing else.
Get out Putin and pay for your damage. Sadly the lives forfeited are priceless and can never be compensated for.

For Putin EQUAL DIALOGUE means you can break international law, and take areas from another country, if that can´t be discussed, it´s not "equal dialogue".
