Now that’s a different kind of “two weeks” notice.
Indeed, while the “two weeks” notice has been traditionally associated with the appropriate amount of time to notify an employer about an imminent departure – at least back in the traditional days, anyway – it has taken on an entirely new meaning within the Trump administration.
Especially in terms of dealing with the increasingly pugnacious behavior of Russian President Vladimir Putin.
However, as it would appear that Putin is uninterested in achieving any sort of realistic ceasefire in Ukraine whatsoever, the Trump administration has had to adopt a different approach to the despot.
A rather time-sensitive approach as well.
According to a report from the New York Post, Trump has laid out a more explicit deadline to Putin for the first time, strongly advising for the Russian dictator to take him seriously.
“We’re going to find out whether or not he’s tapping us along or not, and if he is, we’ll respond a little bit differently, but it will take about a week and a half to two weeks,” Trump asserted.
For everyone’s sake, please make it closer to one and a half weeks, President Trump.
When Trump was asked whether or not Putin was even interested in a ceasefire, Trump made it clear that he was rather uncertain.
“I can’t tell you that, but I’ll let you know in about two weeks,” Trump added.
The faster, the better, to be frank.
Frankly, it would be preferable for Trump to give Putin two days rather than two weeks, given that the Russian dictator has already clearly stalled for months.
And, in the meantime, he has been mercilessly killing Ukrainian citizens.
Indeed, Putin launched a combined drone and missile attack that violently struck over 30 cities in Ukraine, killing several innocent civilians.
And he did so right after suggesting to the world that he would agree to a ceasefire.
Even more humiliatingly, Putin launched his unconscionable attack upon Ukrainian citizens right after a conversation with Trump.
Almost as if Putin wanted to make Trump look inadequate to the world.
Which does not at all sit well with Trump.
“What Vladimir Putin doesn’t realize is that if it weren’t for me, lots of really bad things would have already happened to Russia, and I mean REALLY BAD. He’s playing with fire!” Trump raged on Truth Social.
Is he ever. But perhaps that is what he wants …
Dmitry Medvedev, deputy chair of Russia’s Security Council, certainly seems to think so.
“Regarding Trump’s words about Putin ‘playing with fire’ and ‘really bad things’ happening to Russia. I only know of one REALLY BAD thing – WWIII. I hope Trump understands this!” Medvedev retorted.
Well then
Ignoring Medvedev, Trump also warned that Putin’s continued attacks on Ukraine would “lead to the downfall of Russia.”
And on that note, the world has officially entered even more perilous times.
