President Donald Trump raised the possibility of flying to Turkey on Thursday to join potential conversations over the war in Ukraine between Volodymyr Zelenskiy and Russias Vladimir Putin, Bloomberg reports.
Said Trump: I was thinking about flying over. I dont know where Im going to be on Thursday Ive got so many meetings but I was thinking about actually flying over there.
Theres a possibility of it, I guess, if I think things can happen.

Trump doesn't care about the loss of life or brutality.

Inserting himself where he doesn't belong like a groupie looking for attention.

(8,900 posts)15. Putin might be a no-show, and the Kremlin's kept schtum so far about the suggested meeting with Zelensky
I guess if Zelensky empty-chairs Putin, Trump could use the platform to announce a vast increase in military aid to Ukraine and savage sanctions on Russia.
He's a man of his word, right?
I mean, otherwise Putin's just very publicly flipping him the bird.
