Or what? He won't give Putin his weekly ball gargle?

Or he'll extend it by another two weeks.

Just like all the tariffs he keeps setting deadlines on before backing down? Yeah, this statement means nothing.

TACO

Also he rapes underage girls.

Money quote from the article:

For its part, Russia had largely shrugged off Mr. Trump’s previous 50-day deadline, noting that past deadlines set by Mr. Trump or his team had come and gone with little consequence.

Or else what?

Someonelol@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 24 pts · 1y

Or else he resets the timer to a random range between 24 hours to two weeks for another weak non-credible threat.

Or else he will retract the statement then make it again later like he does with tariffs.

Dude is like the construction crew from the movie the money pit with his constant refrain of two weeks.

That's an old reference but it checks out.

They have to stop in two weeks so Trump can focus on Infrastructure Week. Remember Infrastructure Week?

President Trump said on Monday that he was “disappointed” with President Vladimir V. Putin over the war in Ukraine,

Abbreviating a patronymic to a single letter is a very weird thing to do.

Oh, Vladimir V. Putin. I thought you were referring to the other Putin.

breecher@sh.itjust.works · 14 pts · 1y

Ah, the infamous two weeks deadline. The same two weeks he would eradicate ISIS, fix American healthcare, create peace in the Middle East etc. etc.

Which means in two weeks he will never mention it again and act like he never said it.

That was the joke. The link I was replying to was talking about how Trump always says everything will be happening "in two weeks."

This is 2 week deadline #4 or #5 for Russia to end the war now? I'm losing track.

Aren't they already sanctioned out the ass? What more could additional sanctions possibly do?

gigachad@sh.itjust.works · 8 pts · 1y

This threat is about secondary sanctions against Russias main economic partners, China and India. It would mainly target the oil trade between these countries, which in theory would be huge, but as we already know, TACO
