President Trump showed strong leadership by pushing Russia to agree to a ceasefire, but Putin’s delays raise red flags. The Russian leader claims to support peace but keeps making excuses. This stalling tactic lets Russian troops keep attacking Ukraine while pretending to negotiate. Conservatives know Putin can’t be trusted—he’s buying time to grab more land before any deal.
Trump’s tough talk on sanctions forced Putin to the table. Threatening Russia’s economy worked, but the Biden administration’s weakness left Ukraine vulnerable. Now Trump is cleaning up the mess, using America’s strength to broker peace. Putin’s sudden “interest” in talks proves pressure works.
NATO must back Trump’s plan, not undermine it. Secretary General Mark Rutte warned against bad deals, but Europe’s reliance on U.S. power is obvious. NATO needs to boost defense spending and stop freeloading. Trump’s meeting with Rutte shows he’s holding allies accountable while pursuing peace.
Russian forces recaptured key towns in Kursk, proving they’re exploiting ceasefire talks to advance. Ukraine’s troops are outgunned because past leaders failed to send enough aid. Trump’s decision to restart military support gives Ukraine a fighting chance. Letting Russia keep stolen land rewards aggression—a mistake Obama and Biden made before.
Putin’s demand to “remove root causes” means he wants NATO to abandon Ukraine. Conservatives reject this blackmail. No American president should let dictators dictate alliance policies. Trump’s focus on a strong ceasefire ensures Ukraine isn’t left defenseless, unlike the disastrous Iran nuclear deal.
The left’s push for quick peace risks another Minsk betrayal. Ceasefires let Russia rearm and regroup, just like in 2014. Trump’s 30-day limit prevents endless delays. Ukraine must not surrender territory for empty promises. Strength deters Putin, not weakness.
Trump’s envoy Steve Witkoff is in Moscow to close the deal. Diplomacy works best when backed by power. The U.S. can’t let Russia manipulate talks while bombing civilians. Conservatives support Trump’s balance of firmness and pragmatism.
The world watches if Putin will honor his word. Past lies in Syria and Georgia show his true colors. Trump’s leadership offers hope, but America must stay vigilant. Freedom beats tyranny when we stand strong—no more appeasement.
