    The US president-elect advised the Russian president not to escalate the war in Ukraine and reminded him of “Washington’s sizeable military presence in Europe”, the Post reported.

    It added that Trump expressed interest in follow-up conversations on “the resolution of Ukraine’s war soon”.

    This is so weird, almost worded like he just discovered/barely grasps the war in Ukraine.

    “We have a big military in Europe. Huge.”

    Putin nods. “Ah. I didn’t know that.”

    His grudge against Zelensky though… there’s no way he forgot that.

    Who is reporting what Trump said?

    I would guess Trump probably said that, followed by asking for a price for Intel on the militarized resources.

      Reminds me of the leaks of when Biden wanted to sound tough on Netanyahu. Trump just wants to sound tough on Putin for a bit.

        Is there an equivalent to r/lostredditors? Because you are talking about something completely different. Guess some regular Reddit bots are moving to Lemmy.

          Maybe I misinterpreted your comment, but I thought you were saying that Trump basically purposefully leaked the comments to sound tough on Putin, but wasn’t actually planning on following through at all, and instead was planning on actually helping Putin instead but purposefully didn’t leak that part. I compared it to a similar recent situation in the news.
