I doubt he talked with either

He negotiated it in his head, and is probably surprised that his thinking doesn't equal reality.
The man is completely delusional, he actually thinks he can make things real with his will!
When he claims "only I can fix that", he actually believes it. Because he believes he is the only one with a mind strong enough to will it to happen.

This is a common phenomenon among for instance the very rich and highly positioned CEO's and wall street traders, although generally to a smaller degree, like thinking they can influence how dice fall.
It is also common within religion, like thinking praying actually works, which again turns to things like prosperity gospel, something Trump apparently also believes is true.
And finally it is also something that tend to happen to narcissists.

Trump is all these things, and has been delusional about having "powers" for decades, and his progressing dementia is making it worse.

It's the same mechanism that made Steve Jobs declined to have his cancer treated when it was discovered early enough to have a very high chance of success. He thought he could get rid of it himself somehow. When he finally realized he couldn't, it was too late.

if I read this correctly, it seems that neither russia nor ukraine were involved

just pure halucinated bullshit

Almost certainly not. This is to shift attention from Iran for gas prices increasing I suspect. He's going to say the reason prices have gone up is because Ukraine is bombing Russian refineries (it has technically had an effect), not because of his invasion of Iran. He's going to say he signed a deal with Russia, but prices aren't decreasing quickly because Ukraine broke the ceasefire that he made up.

Assuming I'm right, it's actually a smart move. It only needs to be made because of a bunch of really dumb moves, but this would be smart. Most people, let alone most Americans, don't have a firm grasp on any of this, so the truth doesn't really have much power.

Reminds me of that plot of land in Caanan

That's not negotiation, it's talking shit.

It's an art.

"Have you even told the truth once?"

This is so that he can say Ukraine broke the ceasefire when Russia doesn’t observe the fake ceasefire and Ukraine keeps hitting Russian energy targets.

Trump is a Russian asset.

But then how will insiders trade stock for a massive profit if the news doesn't report what they're fed?

It won’t matter, Putin won’t accept it anyways. This has happened many times before. Zelenskyy knows how to deal with Trump.

No, this is a good play. It's all bullshit anyway, but it buys Zelenskyy some goodwill if he plays along. It also makes Trump look stupid when he doesn't follow up. There's literally no downsides. The only downside would be if it's real and Putin actually follows it. Neither of these would happen though.

It would help Ukraine if it were real. And it would damage Ukraine to refuse outright. So a conditional acceptance is the least bad choice. But I'm sure Zelenskyy knew that Putin would keep bombing, since that's what he's going to do until his owners decide he's no longer useful.

Genuinely hoping the diesel exports from Russia, if they are even real, are targeted. I don’t want 300,000 gallons or whatever of diesel spilled from an environment perspective, but man would I be in favor of the pain pushing people to vote appropriately.

Trying times for a putin's useful idiot, eh? Be tough and keep on kneeling, good serf

He didn't say partial, the guardian did.

Profit.

his own

The side holding the kompromat

Russia gets to keep attacking while Ukraine takes it, probably.

It's like partial murder.

You didn't kill the person. Bleeding out after you severed their legs did.

It sounds like the idea was that there would be no attacks on energy infrastructure in particular, so not "partial" in the sense of quantity but rather in targets.

According to who?

Maybe, but I bet it's more that he's shitting himself over high fuel prices, caused by his illegal war with Iran, and has deluded himself in believing he can market manipulate his way out of Republicans getting destroyed in the midterms.

But unlike the stock market, oil supplies and wars don't magically respond anytime the moron in chief word vomits on the internet.

Ukraine would win.

Haven’t looked it up, but I recall trump saying something along these lines in recent times?
