STEVE’S READING RUSSIA – RUSSIAN PRESS REVIEW (15.07.25)
Today’s Russian papers on Donald Trump’s Russia announcement: “As so often with Trump the teaser was more interesting than the main show.” “The 50 days [before tariffs are implemented] is a long time for Trump. In that time he can change his mind many times.”

You don’t threaten mafia land with some theatrical statements, you go out and smash them. Then you say “there’s more where that came from”
Taco has yet to learn the proper way in dealing with vicious war criminals.
He’s too busy covering up for criminals hiding in the Epstein files.
Is that true? Of course i don’t know. But aren’t core MAGAs pro-ruSSia? Interesting that exactly now that Trump made a U-turn on Putin this Epstein crap is coming up and his ‘base’ lost confidence in him. In my view this phantom list of Epstein is bullshit. Who would even create such a list? And accusing the FBI of colluding with criminals is also strong tobacco in my pipe. If i see cristal clear evidence i will of course change my position, but rumors are cheap and worthless until proven to be true.
Why not this 100% sanctions from today? Why Putin always get a favor?
Because IMO, Trump isn’t going to do anything. Too many red lines, too many 20 days…he’s bullshit. And for those readers who may believe I have TDS, think of again I voted for that moron, not in 2024 but before.
Never has done anything and never will do anything to help Ukraine.
Is that true? Including his first term too? Does that include approving weapons sales and transfers? Extending and signing sanctions? Closing consulates and kicking out the KGB? Of course he could have done more, the same could be said about just about every western leader since 2014. I know its hard to avoid predictions, we all do that, but its even harder not to get invested in our predictions so that affects the future reality.
