The warmongers of Europe and USA should be ecstatic over Trump's U-turn but they aren't. And the reason should be obvious, Trump changes his mind by the hour, sometimes even mid-sentence and you can't take anything he says seriously. Even if you like Trump's policies overall how can you support someone who is like this? 
Please, can any Trump supporter here explain this to me? 
Even the Russophobe warmongers think Trump went way too far by suggesting Ukraine could take back all territories lost. Like wtf is this dude saying?
"Trump no longer wants the war to end now. He thinks it could go on until Ukraine retakes what it almost certainly cannot have."
"Zelensky is no longer being asked to make unpalatable concessions of land Ukraine has lost thousands in the defense of. Instead, he is now being goaded into the impossible retaking of land Ukraine could not get back in the summer of 2023, during a heavily prepped counter-offensive. Neither option is an easy deliverable that prolongs Zelensky’s position or leaves Ukraine strong." - CNN
Edit on the next day. Apparently the prevailing view is that this was a piece of sarcasm (and I was too stupid to see it immediately, typical of me), and that Trump is looking to blame Europe for the loss and looking for an off-ramp for him. Obviously no one in Europe was celebrating Trump's U-turn; no they were horrified and dismayed. The Trump does not lose or fail, he only wins, and always passes any blame on others. As one commentator said, with which I concur, paraphrased, "Trump using manipulating language, appearing to cheer on the Ukrainians, while looking for the escape door, I find very off-putting when talking about war, where he's claimed he's horrified and very sad by all the casualties, I find very undignified and I could use much stronger language... I don't see this as strength or clarity of mind, and it's not clever as he thinks it is." I think he's a coward without the guts to come out and say what he really believes.
Trump's advisors told him 'Russia is losing the war':
Speaking at the Yalta European Security Conference in Kyiv, Kellogg revealed he and the chairman, Air Force Gen. Dan Caine, each reassured the president of Moscow’s wilting position roughly six weeks ago — shortly before Trump’s meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska.
“If Putin thinks Russia is winning, his definition of winning and my definition of winning are absolutely two different things,” Kellogg said. “If he was winning, he’d be in Kyiv. If he’s winning, he’d be west of the Dnipro River. If he was winning, he’d be on Odessa. If he was winning, he would have changed the government.“Russia is, in fact, losing this war,” he added.
The two military experts gave their assessment in response to Trump’s then-prodding as to whether Putin’s grandstanding of supposed success in Ukraine was true, Kellogg said, giving a rare glimpse into private discussions at the White House.
“I responded quite forcefully, and I finally said,
‘Mr. President, don’t just listen to me. Your chairman of the Joint Chiefs, Dan Caine, is outside. He’s out in the hall, bring him in and ask him that question. He’s your senior, he’s your principal military adviser,'” Kellogg said.
“And he did, and Dan said the same thing. He went,
‘Nope, not winning.'”
The envoy said he also told leaders during a recent discussion in the Oval Office not to believe Putin’s claims of having a formidable fighting force, reassuring senior administration officials they should not be afraid of Russian retaliation against the US — something that held former President Joe Biden back from taking stronger action against Moscow.
“They may make movements. It seems so they’re advancing in the Donbas region, in the Donetsk, but if you consider advancing moving by meters, not miles, well then OK, that’s successful, but the cost that they’re having is enormous, and I don’t think people truly appreciate it,” he said.
Manpower-wise, the cost to Russia has been “well over a million” when considering the total troops dead and wounded, he said, noting that the Soviet Union left Afghanistan after losing 18,000.
“These numbers are World War II-level numbers, when you think about it. They’re stunning in the loss,” he said. “… They’re pulling tanks out of mothballs, out of museums, to put on the battle line. They can’t operate in large movements because the Ukrainians will kill them. And Ukrainians are fighting valiantly on there.”
“They were talking about the primacy of the Russian military and how they were, you know, pretty good,” Kellogg said. “And I said to the people in the room, ‘We’d kick their ass.’
“And what I mean by that is: Don’t take their statements at face value. They’re, I mean, they’re not as good as Putin says they are.”
