At the same time, Trump is concerned that this will further complicate his mission to end the fire in Ukraine.

US President Donald Trump praised Ukraine’s attack on Russian airfields on Sunday, calling it “strong” and “cool,” Axios reports , citing its sources.

At the same time, the publication notes, Trump is concerned that this will further complicate his mission to cease fire in Ukraine.

“He was surprisingly tight-lipped in public about his personal feelings about the Ukraine attack. But privately, he admired the operation,” Axios writes.

 “Pretty much,” Trump told one of the people. “He thought it was cool,” a second person said of Trump’s reaction.

One of Trump’s advisers noted that Ukraine’s Operation Spider’s Web, from an international perspective, is “like a Chihuahua doing real damage to a much larger dog.”

At the same time, Trump also believes that a Ukrainian attack would likely push Putin to take very serious retaliatory action, and is concerned that this scenario would hinder his diplomatic initiative.

“We want this war to end. We want de-escalation. So if Putin goes crazy in response, yes, the president has concerns,” one of the people who spoke to Trump told Axios.

One reason the Ukrainian attack worried the White House was that it targeted long-range bombers that can carry nuclear weapons and are a key part of Russia’s nuclear deterrent.

 “The drone strikes were not a surprise to (Trump) because that’s what happens when the war is going on, but he’s concerned that it will prolong the fighting. He wants the fighting to stop, so it’s disappointing to him when attacks like this happen,” one White House official said.

Despite these concerns, however, Trump was impressed with what the Ukrainians had done, he stressed.

    • I followed the link to the original article.

      “He wants the fighting to stop, so it disappoints him whenever there is an attack like that,” a senior White House official said.”

      The Krasnov “logic” :

      putler is free to continue murdering Ukrainian children, but when Ukraine fights back it “disappoints” him.
      He then gives putler his blessing for yet another filthy, depraved, genocidal attack.
      Krasnov and his asshole son sneeringly stated before the election that Ukraine’s “allowance” was over, so this is one election promise he is delivering on.
      Who could ever have imagined that the U.S. would have a president who acted as an enabler for the genocide of innocent Christian people by nazi savages?
      Furthermore, one who “loves the Russian people” and is proud of his friendship with a nazi pig.

        Sounds pretty simple to me. That is, if you read what is written. But that doesn’t prevent TDS patients from misconstruing what was said or choosing to distract or disinform other readers for political purposes……….

        • You are the one who decries “unattributable sources.” Unless they suit your demented agenda.
          You are the political one. I don’t care what people’s politics are as long as they want to help Ukraine.
          Your job as you see it is to defend the revolting and treasonous activities of the king shit of a pro-russia regime as it continues to menace an innocent Christian democracy.
          Now let’s see what Krasnov actually wrote (or rather someone who can assemble a few sentences on behalf of a geriatric illiterate). :

          “I just finished speaking, by telephone, with President Vladimir Putin, of Russia. The call lasted approximately one hour and 15 minutes. We discussed the attack on Russia’s docked airplanes, by Ukraine, and also various other attacks that have been taking place by both sides. It was a good conversation, but not a conversation that will lead to immediate Peace. President Putin did say, and very strongly, that he will have to respond to the recent attack on the airfields. We also discussed Iran, and the fact that time is running out on Iran’s decision pertaining to nuclear weapons, which must be made quickly! I stated to President Putin that Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon and, on this, I believe that we were in agreement. President Putin suggested that he will participate in the discussions with Iran and that he could, perhaps, be helpful in getting this brought to a rapid conclusion. It is my opinion that Iran has been slowwalking their decision on this very important matter,
          and we will need a definitive answer in a very short period of time!”

          That was an unambiguous authorization for a poisonous nazi toad to commit mass murder.
