Well, everybody knew he lies all the time. but geez, ignoring US intelligence when he is being told it. Guess he is on Putin’s side and happy to lie in service to Russian propaganda
White House Handed Intel Blowing Up Trump’s Battlefield Claim
The president’s most recent claim came when he told Fox News host Laura Ingraham earlier this week that “Russia has the advantage.”
“They have encircled about 2,500 [Ukrainian] soldiers. They are nicely
encircled, that’s not good,” he said, despite denials from Ukrainian
authorities.Now, three U.S. and European officials familiar with the situation have told Reuters that, despite definite pressure on Ukrainian troops in the region, they are not encircled, as Trump has said.
The sources told the news wire that the White House has been informed of that by intelligence agencies, including the CIA, over the past week. Even still, Trump has continued to talk about their encirclement.
The assertions echo those by his Russian counterpart, Putin, who said on March 13 that Ukrainian troops in Kursk were cut off and would ultimately need to “surrender or die.”
What Trump is saying about a ceasefire is bullchit
Trump loves protection rackets. Trump proposes US ownership of Ukraine’s nuclear plants
Boy would THAT be an issue. Already only in the last couple of months, Trump has tried to humiliate Zelensky, stopped providing intelligence to Ukraine, pushed for Ukraine to give up land and other stuff while not making Russia, in a potential ceasefire deal, give up anything, etc Note that this last *ceasefire* negotiation didn’t even include Ukraine. Bah.
