US President Donald Trump warned Vladimir Putin Tuesday that he was “playing with fire,” launching a fresh broadside at his Russian counterpart over stalled Ukraine peace efforts.

Trump’s latest comments came after he called the Kremlin leader “CRAZY” over the weekend
following a mass Russian air attack on Kyiv, and warned that Moscow risked new sanctions.

“What Vladimir Putin doesn’t realise is that if it weren’t for me, lots of really bad things would have already happened to Russia, and I mean REALLY BAD,” Trump said on his Truth Social network Tuesday.

“He’s playing with fire!”


Trump did not specify what the “really bad” things were or make any specific threats.

But the Wall Street Journal and CNN both reported that Trump was now considering fresh sanctions against Russia as early as this week, while stressing that he could still change his mind.

Trump had told reporters on Sunday he was “absolutely” considering increasing sanctions on Moscow.



The US president’s recent rebukes mark a major change from his previous attitude towards Putin, whom he often speaks of with iration and has previously held off criticising.

Trump has, however, expressed increasing frustration with Moscow’s position in deadlocked truce negotiations with Kyiv.

That frustration boiled over at the weekend when Russia launched a record drone barrage at Ukraine, killing at least 13 people.

“I’ve always had a very good relationship with Vladimir Putin of Russia, but something has happened to him. He has gone absolutely CRAZY!” Trump said in a Truth Social post on Sunday night.

Russia’s attacks have continued despite a phone call between Trump and Putin eight days ago in which the US leader said the Russian president had agreed to “immediately” start ceasefire talks.

Moscow on Tuesday accused Kyiv of trying to “disrupt” peace efforts and said its aerial assaults on Ukraine in recent days were a “response” to escalating Ukrainian drone strikes on its own civilians.

Lol, it appears their friendship is over, this clown is just waking up, he's been treated like a fool by Russian leader

Trump just talk and write with emotion .
Chinese traffic, those one did not mind himself, bombed Yemen many times, those ones did not stopped sending missiles to Israeli or attack ships close to their sea.
Now from peace deal in Ukraine-Russia to threaten sanctions and war, after he got the mineral deal from Ukraine.
No wonder Putin never takes that peace talks seriously because it has happened 3 times already.

Ukraine have been getting hit day and night.

Fact?? Ask Iran ?

It's too. Late for that, apologise to Joe Biden he was handling the situation well.

This man is an idiot 🤣🤣😂🙂🤣...let him misbehave and see hell.

Actually, the only hell I see is Trump's emotional immaturity. I don't understand where the western world breed all these kinda "leaders", from North America to Western Europe.
Zero courtesy, zero diplomacy, zero sensibility.
The so called leaders in this axis are very uncouth with their outbursts.

If there's one thing that I've learnt over the course of this Ukrainian conflict, about Western countries, it is that they overestimate their capabilities and capacities. They feel absolute power is resident with them.

Na like this war dey start...

Baba, hasten up and build the iron dome before you start war.

It's obviously Trump that had been trying to do attache by force. Things have changed.

Putin is stock on a mission, and he doesn't regard Trump's or America's input. Moreso, Trump seems to be talking too much, guys like Putin would keep laughing at him.

Oga shut up, is not about treating someone like a fool, Trump was just trying to stop the war by all means or u are happy with all this killings in Ukraine and Russia?

I used to like Trump so much but I hated the way he bullied Zelensky. Just talking to the man defensing his Nation like a toddler.

Right now I don't really know I feel about him it seems he is just waking up.

Zelensky clearly told him that "Putin can not be trusted and have broken several deal (including peace deals) for decades" which is a clear and verifiable fact.

But they choose to bully him on live TV and even gave his Vice Vance the impetus to bully a sitting president.

Well Zelensky has stated that if Ukraine falls Europe and NATO falls. Ukraine is the wall preventing world war 3. Putin is power drunk and wouldn't want to leave that seat till he dies.

I'm glad he is waking up to reality.

Russia has already drawn a new map of Ukraine and there's nothing Trump can do about that, last week the $1B Patriots Air defence system they gave to Ukraine was destroyed by an Iskander missile.
Without immediate ceasefire Russia will take more territory even the permission given by NATO removing restrictions on long range weapons cannot stop Russia.
Trump is being laughed at after using pictures from DR Congo and claiming it was mass burial of white farmers in South Africa, meanwhile I am a Trump er

emotional immaturity yet he's governing the World for the second time. Once you apc, your brain automatically lapsed.

Trump gave the world a code on how he negotiates - and lazy folks cant get it - go read "THE ART OF THE DEAL" and IF you are smart enough

you can see it is one of Trump's numerous patterns in having his way at the long run

Calling Trump names at this time is like saying a team with Lionel Messi will lose the game just because Messi gave a back

Why not wait for the follow up runs

I have always said it and will keep repeating it, one thing Trump fails to realize is that Putin doesn't rate him at all! Putin was very instrumental to Trump's first term victory and he helped him to win so as to make a jest of america and I am sure Putin had a great time laughing at what a joke america became under that clown. Now see the contempt with which he regards Trump. After Trump made a fool of himself humiliating Zelensky and making enemies of Europe to please Putin, Putin is now telling him impliedly that he can go to hell. Truth is Trump is just a stupid, toothless barking dog!

Ok

America is not fooling anybody anymore ... The way they got powerful is now available to everyone and the veil is falling ... They used media to program the world into believing they were all that powerful... But thanks to the Internet haha... Global equalization
