Russia 10 Days To Disaster - Joe Blogs



In this video I discuss the recent announcement by Donald Trump that he has cut his original 50-day deadline for Russia to seek peace in Ukraine down to just 10–12 days. If Russia fails to act, Trump has threatened devastating sanctions, including up to 500% tariffs on countries that continue to buy Russian oil — a move that could shake global markets.

Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev immediately fired back, warning that Trump’s ultimatum is a “step towards war” with the U.S.

In this video, I break down:
