Trump’s refusal to sanction Russia proves his so-called peace plan is nothing but a Kremlin-approved script written in American ink.
Trump’s tariffs came down like a hailstorm—but somehow, not a single drop touched Russia. Funny, isn’t it? While China, Europe, and Mexico got roasted on the grill of the so-called "Liberation Day" tariffs, Vladimir Putin was left sipping tea in the rain of blood and fire raining down on Ukraine. Did anybody paying attention notice this? Putin launched missiles at playgrounds, while Trump launched tariffs at everyone except the man turning Ukraine into a cemetery. It’s not just a double standard—it’s a diplomatic joke written in jelly.
Let me say it clearly: Putin has continued to kill women, children, and innocent civilians in Ukraine. A few days ago, 18 people were killed in a Russian missile attack on Kryvyi Rih—nine of them were kids. Another 56 were injured. A restaurant and a playground were turned into rubble. The scene looked like a horror movie set. Meanwhile, Trump's response? Not a single word of condemnation. Not a whisper of anger. Not even a lukewarm tweet. Nothing. The silence is as loud as the explosion that tore through those Ukrainian streets.
You’d think that a man who calls himself the master negotiator would have at least pretended to be outraged. But no. His version of peace is basically Putin’s playbook—just with American flair. Trump’s “peace deal” for Ukraine is less of a strategy and more of a PR stunt. It’s flimsy, wobbly, spineless—a plan written in jelly, wobbling in the sun while children’s bodies lie in the dirt. There is nothing strong or respectable about that. It’s cowardly. It’s shameful. And it’s dangerous.
Trump has gone out of his way to avoid punishing Putin. While Russia continues its war crimes, the so-called “Dealmaker-in-Chief” is playing footsie with a tyrant. Where are the sanctions? Where are the consequences? The excuse is that U.S.-Russia trade is already low. That’s like saying you won’t jail a murderer because he already lost his job. The logic is twisted, the priorities are broken, and the people of Ukraine are paying the price in blood.
Even Zelenskyy, a man under daily attack, called out the weak response from the U.S. embassy. When Russia bombed a playground and killed children, the U.S. reaction didn’t even name Russia. Zelenskyy asked, “Are you afraid to say the word Russian?” And I ask the same of Trump: Are you afraid to say Putin’s name? Or is your tongue too tied from all the secret deals and handshake diplomacy?
Trump’s team says they're "waiting to see" if Moscow is serious about peace. Really? While they wait, more drones drop, more missiles strike, and more lives are lost. Russia has already violated the partial ceasefire deal that the U.S. helped negotiate. They bombed Kharkiv. They struck an energy facility in Kherson. They hit residential areas. Every Russian promise ends with a missile. But Trump still thinks this war can be ended with a hug and a handshake.
Putin sent his investment envoy Dmitriev to Washington last week. Why? To peddle the same empty words wrapped in lies. And what did Trump’s people do? They smiled and asked him to “take a message back to Moscow.” What message? That America is watching, taking notes, and doing nothing? That’s not diplomacy—that’s delusion.
Trump says if Russia launches a big offensive, then we’ll know they’re not serious about peace. But what about the bombs already falling? What about the children already dead? What more does he need—an RSVP from hell?
Let me make it plain: Trump’s peace plan is not a peace plan. It’s a political stunt. It’s a lie wrapped in the American flag. A real peace plan demands pressure. A real peace plan calls out the criminal and protects the victim. A real peace plan doesn’t shake hands with a warlord while ignoring the blood on his palms.
It gets worse. While Russia keeps firing at Ukraine’s energy facilities, Trump keeps selling the dream that he can “end the war in 24 hours.” That’s not policy. That’s a used-car salesman pitch, and the car is already on fire. His peace deal has no spine, no strength, no strategy. It’s a circus act, and the ringmaster is asleep.
And now, as Congress begins talking about new sanctions, Trump plays the role of the middleman. He warns buyers of Russian oil that they might face tariffs. But even that comes with a wink and a shrug. China and India—the biggest buyers—aren’t shaking. They know the game. They know that Trump talks loud but punishes selectively. If the goal is to stop Russia’s war machine, then someone should remind Trump that sanctions aren’t optional—they’re essential.
Let’s not forget history. Putin’s war in Ukraine began in 2014 with Crimea. In 2022, it turned into a full-scale invasion. Since then, thousands have died. Millions have been displaced. Cities have been destroyed. And through it all, Trump has treated Putin like a poker buddy, not a war criminal. He even praised him as “savvy” and “smart” at the start of the invasion. That wasn’t just bad judgment—it was an insult to every family hiding in basements while bombs fell from the sky.
There’s an old proverb: “He who sups with the devil should have a long spoon.” Trump not only supped with Putin—he seems to have handed him the menu. His refusal to punish Russia with tariffs is not just a policy choice—it’s a betrayal of justice, decency, and global stability.
Zelenskyy is right. We must call a spade a spade. We must call Russia what it is: a terrorist state waging war on the innocent. We must put real pressure on Putin. And if Trump won’t do it, then the American people must ask why. Why is he afraid of punishing the man responsible for so much pain?
Because right now, it looks like Trump’s peace plan is less about peace and more about pleasing Putin. And if that’s the case, we might as well call it what it is: Putin’s Plan, made in America, endorsed by the “Jellymaker-in-Chief.”
