Public sentiment is overwhelmingly negative towards Trump's ultimatum to Russia, characterized by skepticism about its effectiveness and calls for diplomacy instead of aggressive rhetoric. Commenters frequently criticize Trump's perceived disconnection from reality and view his statements as politicized theatrics rather than serious geopolitical strategy. Many highlight concerns about his inconsistent behavior and the ineffectiveness of ultimatums in forcing change, especially in the context of the ongoing suffering in Ukraine.

Civil-Shame-2399

Pretty low. 

Americans don't want to go to war. 

Europeans only want Americans to go to war. 

Russia can't afford to fight America head-on.

Abdelsauron

None because Russia is well aware the US would absolutely eviscerate them conventionally and both countries are aware they would be destroyed via mutually assured destruction.

Then again, US admin is inept. Nothing will happen and it’s all political talk anyways.

Smaller than the likelyhood we will see another Trump Derangement Syndrome victim post here again in five minutes.

Um…what do you think has been going on? 

Pitiful-Potential-13

I thought the Ukraine war was an all out war already, despite the "special military operation" BS.

GalFisk

I think if it involves Trump nothing should be off the table.

Swingbatta007

Well in a shooting war, I don't put much stock into cowards. So I'm pretty sure they're gonna chicken out like always.

Portlander_in_Texas

First, a full-scale war is already underway. The largest in Europe since WW II. Three countries are fully involved in the war, two of which have nuclear weapons: Russia and North Korea.

If you're asking whether Trump will send Americans to war or whether Putin will order the bombing of New York, the probability is incredibly low. That's if you even consider that there is some kind of "Trump ultimatum", because what kind of "ultimatum" is it, 5 or 6?

Apocalypse_PIZO

What ultimatum? What did he do this time?

Trump yet again talks a big game and completely fails. The man is a stinking coward unless facing off against the weak.

Few-Worldliness2131

24 hours, 2 weeks, 50 days, after Christmas?

DurangoJohnny

The US under Trump are an absolute laughing stock. Russia have played Trump for the past 6 months it is so obvious that Trump is no allie, he is just going to give Russia as long as they want and by that time it will be too late. What a joke, absolute joke

amcape30

Hit yourself on a forehead with a dick, MrPresident

jesterboyd

U.S. goods imports from Russia in 2024 were $3.5 billion, 0.15% of Russia's GDP.

Oh noes, who will buy crab and cod from Russia's far east?

Sanpaku

What? Is this a joke? What 50 days? Is he really that dumb?

Wonderful-Basis-1370

So his big announcement is a huge nothing.

Not surprised just disappointed at how many people keep falling for this stuff.

RottenPingu1

NeutronN12

Surely not more total bullshit from Trump.
Who would have thought!🤣

Inner-Bet-1935

Another 50 days of needless death just so Trump can once again move the goalposts further into the future. In 50 days him and Putin will be friends again and Ukraine will be in the same position. Absolutely worthless partner.

Jakoobus91

Which is another way of saying "Russia has 50 days to bomb this shit out of Ukraine before I do something meaningless to stop them". 

Fun fact: Russians don't import shit into the US

cheweychewchew

All that hype over the weekend to just be told Trump will think about sanctioning Russia.

"Stop bombing Ukraine or I'll tax Americans!!!!"

joshine89

Just to put this into proper perspective 

trump has been throwing tarrifs around indiscriminately and without any rational justification between the allies and biggest trading partners of the US, since he started his term.

But when it comes to Russia, a country that has limited trade with the US, a country that is currently bombing civilians daily, and has specifically stated that they have no interest in ending the war...

I'll wait months after imposing tarrifs on the entire world, then give you another 50 days and maybe I'll impose tarrifs if you don't do the thing you obviously aren't going to do...

If anyone takes this as anything half serious, you are delusional.

CavemanMork

Tariffs? First, why is the United States buying anything at all from Russia? Second, some American company paying a tariff on Ruzzian goods doesn’t have any effect on ruzzia’s economy

C20mk

Oh, yeah, tariffs are way better than weapons for Ukraine, definitely... \*eye roll\*

tendeuchen

Everyone remember what he said. Because I fear he himself will forget

Willing_Salt4216

lol and what happened with the 2 weeks deadline set like 2 months ago ?

TulkasDeTX

TACO, just like the two week notice before. 

Keep the Epstein pressure on him, he's doing whatever he can to take it off

PraiseThePun420

You think Taco Don will actually do anything? Putin will pinky swear he’ll stop (for an hour) to appease him then go back to committing war crimes.

Don't get fooled Europe. Keep sending money and weapons to Ukraine. Don't wait for Trump to save us

alexjp8

Another stall to give russia more time to try and take Ukraine. 

cyrixlord

Threats with a timestamp shows weakness,  same old song and dance.

Nonamanadus

AlexFromOgish

50 days of hundreds of drones hitting Kyiv and more parentless children for no good reason is what I see.

SgtFury

He's literally telling Putin to win the war in the next 50 days while Trump severely under arms Ukraine intentionally as aiding them is feigned. Tariffs just means more money for Trump to launder. 

There is nothing good about this

FourArmsFiveLegs

So everybody else is tariffs right now but an aggressive country gets 50 days?

Mathoosala

What will be the new deadline once the 50 days are up? Pathetic

Mundane_Opening3831

Can’t we all just tell Trump to fuck off and stay the fuck away from Europe now? Can’t we forget the USA exists and get on with fighting Russia together?

CaptainGashMallet

FluffyAmyNL

Lame, Putin will continue his genocide.  Wake up

DoxBurger

Is that long enough for people to forget he said this? A la peace deal on day 1? I was joking? Lol this president lies through his teeth and his actions mainly include taking away arms from Ukraine right before huge Russian strikes a la retake of Kursk And now the largest missile/drone attacks of the war.  I'll go by his actions instead of his hollow words. No thanks

Gold-Ad1605

upto_lateagain

In 50 days his mind has changed approximately 50! times.

Kletronus

Just how stupid this old shit is. He thinks tariffs will force Russia to do… anything?

hayasecond

Another "lets see after".

Yeah right. This re run is getting boring.

Ritari_Assa-arpa

fluffs-von

Then 2 more weeks, then 2 more, then "Why are we still talking about this Russia?!".

Butthole_Slurpers

Sell the assets and use the money already Jesus

Russia's largest drone/missile attack incoming. Putin cannot resist the urge to spit in Trump's face.

IOnlyEatFermions

Lol 50 days... I guess the standard "2 weeks" for his empty threats wasn't enough time for Putin.

JestersDead77

Fluid_Jellyfish9620

He's looking very strongly into maybe doing something in a few weeks. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Please

I hope this is true but don’t hold your breath for TACO’s help

GoGo-Arizona

How is this breaking, Donnie TACO will change this 10 times in the next 50 days!

Retiredsoldier98

Why not tomorrow, or did Daddy Putin not allow this weak corrupt president to do that.


Also Trump's a pedo who raped women.

KrivUK

90 deals 90 days that are two weeks away for best deal of greatest deal makers there is. 🫩

Chaos-Cortex

Guarantee he will go full 🌮 in 50 days

ZonaPunk

Everyone else got tariffs without any warning.

Formulka

Delay delay delay string it out give Putin plenty of chances 

ChampionshipOk5046

over_pw

That’ll give trump a nice 50 days to go back on his statement…

Moist-Pangolin-1039

That allows them to see if their suffer offensive will work.

IamtryigOKAY

50 days? Booo!
This is the definition of ”play fighting”
Maybe Russia really does something to blackmail Trump with because this is getting ridiculous.

Evaporaattori

FreakshowMode

And, just like that, he gave russia another 50 days.


Remember, he was being sarcastic with the one day thing.

Leandrys

Nope, he won’t do anything against his boss Russia. What he effectively does is give Russia 50 more days to destroy Ukraine further.

ProfessorWild563

I'm sure Putin is quaking in his boots as we speak. 😂

RedBarclay88

Does anyone else find it odd that Russia seems to enjoy more of a "favored nation" status than our actual favored nations?

Ditka85

There’s something scary about Trump pretending to be tough on Russia.

Rhaj-no1992

Dena844

I continue to be amazed that we have not applied every sanction and tariffs possible. What could we possibly be waiting for.

PistolCowboy

50 fucking days? Man, do it now. We'll all thank you.

InternationalAd5800

And just watch him chicken out before he has to follow through.

Ah well, at least he's stopped blaming Zelenskyy. That's progress, I guess, at least until he changes again.

Rare_Opportunity2419

Trump is such a pussy. This is just another version of his “2 weeks” bullshit. Such a coward.

huxtiblejones

Trump is the most incompetent scared president ever.

MetalWorking3915

So here is what is going to happen.  
Trump will wait for 50 days doing nothing. Then he will make 100% secondary tariffs, meaning on countries other than russia, meaning China again. Then the tariff war repeats, and then Trump chickens out, and we're back to the beginning

DjSapsan

So Putin has said he needs a month or so to get where he wants to be.

Iamoggierock

US President Donald Trump has significantly shortened the deadline for Russia to negotiate a ceasefire in Ukraine from 50 days to 10-12 days, threatening sanctions if progress is not made.
