This means he made it up.

Trump lied to you, and Russia attacked Ukraine just minutes later.

Reporter: You said Russia and Ukraine agreed to a ceasefire but both sides say they have not.

Trump: They agree. You know why? Because I said you agree. That’s why. They agreed because I said they agreed. https://twitter.com/Acyn/status/2109752064318623838/video/1 - Acyn

RT @AnalyticaCamil1: Edward Coristine, the kid who actually just sent Americans’ data to the Russian government?

The actual Russian spy who was caught in 4K by Federal employees? https://twitter.com/AnalyticaCamil1/status/2109701611396440429/photo/1

Edward is one of the wisest men I've ever met, which is all the more impressive given his own age.

When DOGE hired him, he was a teenage genius whose maternal grandfather had been executed by KGB.

I'm merely a middle aged nobody.

It's an extraordinary honor to have him write the foreword to Unelected, and an equally amazing honor to have the words "Big Balls" on the cover of my very first book. - DataRepublican (small r)

Putin reportedly told Trump he wasn't interested in peace.

Trump responded by lifting sanctions.

Q: How are going to make Putin abide by the ceasefire?

TRUMP: I think what's happening is he wants to make a deal and we have to get Zelenskyy to want to make a deal. I think Putin wants to make a deal more than Zelenskyy. https://twitter.com/atrupar/status/2109753188945465857/video/1 - Aaron Rupar

RT @jamiedupree: House GOP committee chair objects to Pentagon plan to livestream the execution of the Fort Hood shooter. "A public execution is not in the best interest of the United States or our justice system."

What happened in Fort Hood on November 5, 2009, was horrific. Thirteen innocent lives were lost in an act of jihadist extremism by Nidal Hasan, a man seeking to become a martyr. His actions certainly demand the fullest weight of the justice system to be brought upon him, and I support him getting the death sentence he was given.

However, a public execution is not in the best interest of the United States or our justice system, which, for 250 years, has been marked by dignity and great respect around the world. Hasan’s goal was to become a martyr. The last thing we should be doing is offering him the public platform to become one and handing propaganda to the very authoritarian regimes we oppose.

I strongly urge President Trump to call an end to this decision that would undermine our system of justice and bolster Islamic extremism. We must always remember the principles our nation was built upon. Turning death, no matter how warranted, into public spectacle is not the answer. - Rep. Bruce Westerman

RT @jamiedupree: Sen. Jerry Moran R-KS opposes Trump diesel deal with Putin

Sanctions on Russian fuel exports have, for the last several years, deprived funding for Putin’s unjust war in Ukraine and provided leverage to help end it. We should be tightening sanctions further, not undercutting them by allowing the import of Russian diesel and risking erasing our leverage, damaging our credibility with allies, and emboldening our adversaries. - Senator Jerry Moran

RT @TheStudyofWar: Russian Offensive Campaign Assessment, October 12, 2026: Russia and Ukraine have not agreed to a ceasefire against energy infrastructure as of October 12, as Russian forces continued to strike Ukrainian energy infrastructure overnight on October 11 to 12.

Other Key Takeaways:

Senior Russian officials confirmed that there is no ceasefire agreement as of October 12 and outright rejected any ceasefire proposal that would allow Ukraine to hold elections.

A Russian State Duma deputy and a Russian ultranationalist mouthpiece supported the Kremlin’s rejection of an energy ceasefire proposal and openly stated that Ukrainian strikes against Russian refineries are not the primary driver of global diesel shortages.

Ukrainian forces delayed a Russian strike package by striking Russian ballistic missile launchers located in Russia.

Ukrainian forces did not strike Russian oil refineries on October 11 to 12 due to President Trump’s energy ceasefire announcement on October 11. Russian forces launched 121 drones against Ukraine overnight.

Ukrainian forces recently advanced in the Oleksandrivka direction.

People won't be getting anything in return for selling their soul.

Trump’s deal to import Russian diesel is unlikely to ease U.S. fuel prices much, while lawmakers from both parties question its legality. https://on.wsj.com/4jQqi7l - The Wall Street Journal

Maybe American politicians shouldn't take actions that hurt American consumers... like starting a war.

“A US official said that US negotiators told the Ukrainians the United States was a strong partner, providing munitions and intelligence, and so Ukraine shouldn’t take actions that hurt American consumers.” - Jim Sciutto

RT @Mpolymer: Correct take. Plus there’s a duty to warn re US citizens in Ukraine, so much argues this did not occur. Withholding force pro intel may even be a bridge too far for this crazy admin.

Correct. Lot of BS being spread on here that the US has cut intelligence. There is no evidence for that, and threat intel would be the last to go because it would endanger US diplomats in Ukraine. I realize there is widespread (and justifiable) anger, but cool-headedness and evidence-based analysis are more important than ever. - Michael Weiss
