BRUSSELS - A top European Union official rebuked Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban on Tuesday after he launched a self-styled Ukraine \"peace mission\" that included talks with Donald Trump and the leaders of Russia and China without EU backing. Read more at straitstimes.com.

He claims Trump would act immediately upon winning the election, before taking office. Which sounds legally dubious, but not that that’s ever stopped Trump…

      So is Orbán, and what is probably a majority of conservatives at least if they’re being honest (which doesn’t happen too often)

    Ok, but the world isn’t looking for the kind of peace Trump would broker.

    What the world wants is for Russia to get the fuck out of Ukraine.

    Ahh right, because the guy who was literally impeached for trying to get Zelensky to fabricate a story about his political opponent and who is beholden to Ukraine’s enemy would be an honest peace broker.

      I’m not seeing any reference to Trump being honest in the article.

      It’s fairly trivial for the US president to end the conflict. Stop supplying weapons to Ukraine and send them to Russia instead, and it’d be over in a week. This is something I fully believe Trump could do.

          This is exactly what these people mean when they say “peace”
