My question = Has Trump ever told Putin to stop striking civilian infrastructure in Ukraine?

    Trump is stupid but not stupid enough to ask Putin anything. Trump knows perfectly well that he still has some level of leverage on Ukraine while none on Russia.

    You mispelled Putin's kompromat on Trump. ;)

    Though at this stage the value of any kompromat is dubious at best. I don't think a 4k Dolby Atmos recording of Trump raping a bus load of preschoolers would have any impact on public opinion.

    If Trump tells you to stop doing something, then you’re doing something right.

    But Trump said America doesn't need anyone else's oil, and the they harvest and produce more than anyone else, so they won't be affected by any of this.

    Does this mean he lied to me?

    Ukraine was forced to attack Russian refineries by Trump's war on Iran. That war sent fuel prices skyrocketing, and thereby also Russia's oil revenue, which Putin uses to fund the war. In order to hinder Russia's ability to wage war, Ukraine had no option but to start blowing up Russian refineries. At least that way Russia doesn't profit from Trump's inflated oil prices.

    And with Russian strikes against Ukrainian energy infrastructure, it's impossible to argue it's not a legitimate target. If Trump doesn't like it, he has to provide an alternative. Complaining about the consequences of his actions isn't going to fix anything.

    Zelensky listened to the US early on and left the petro alone. Big mistake as it may have ended the war by now if Russia didn’t have the petro dollars.

    Zelenskyy should also bomb some Russian troll farms and futher damage MAGA's midterm chances.

    Far as I can tell theres no incentive for them to abide by this. Keep pushing, Ukraine - this strategy is working.

    Does the US even provide anything to Ukraine anymore? Because I thought that at this point Ukraine is just fighting with weapons/gear they get from European countries and stuff they built for themselves. What leverage does he have on Ukraine? Can he stop providing them ammo? Lol no, the US apparently doesn't have enough for themselves. There's also the simple fact that European countries can just get stuff from the US and pass it on to Ukraine, and they're being more and more willingly to do it since Russia is starting to attack them.

    Trump and everyone around him are such morons it's painful. If they wanted to have leverage over Ukraine they should have kept supplying them so they could hold those supplies over their heads in cases like these. Now it's just words nobody cares about.

    What is he gonna do otherwise? Invade Ukraine? Support Russia militarily?

    Man this kind of incompetence would be quite funny if there weren't so many people dying.

    For a nation that prides itself on its somewhat dubious war fighting capabilities, they sure managed to pick an absolute dunce at warfare to be their commander in chief.

    Generally speaking, it's usually not wise to do what a rapist tells you to do. It doesn't stop their rapist tendencies.

    Trump's religion is the worship of Trump.

    He's been singlularly ineffective at gaining wealth except by theft, and he is too stupid to wield power effectively.
