    “If they made a bad deal it would’ve been much better. They would’ve given up a little bit and everybody would be living and every building would be built and every tower would be aging for another 2,000 years.”

    Just a little appeasement, what would go wrong. Of course I can believe he’s fully unaware that Ukraine tried that twice already in the Minsk agreements.

    I am flabbergasted. Who would have thought that a man with decades long ties to Russia, who’s met with and spoke highly of Putin, who had russian spies crawling all over his first presidential campaign, who’s backed by russian oligarch money, would say such a silly thing about Ukraine.

    They’re planning an offensive that has moscow scared enough they are rattling their nuclear sabers. Seems like a poorly thought out move for a “destroyed” country and that their hegemonic buddies would advise them against rather than helping them tool up for the fight.

    Saw this just after reading the post about Russia knocking out Ukrainian citizens’ ability to heat their homes this winter.

    Any tankies wanna weigh in on why this is acceptable?

    He supports their favorite dictators very well.

          Voting trump won’t stop it. Voting kamala won’t stop it. Voting third party won’t stop it. Widespread protests won’t stop it. But go ahead and explain how we’re all culpable regardless.

            Widespread protests could stop it.

            Just not by relatively small numbers of unarmed college students.

              4 cops prosecuted for an obvious murder. Not quite ending genocide level, but good luck rising up with the masses.

    Trump more and more desperate for those Russian funds. Probably gets $1 million for each Ukraine/Zelensky diss.

    And he’ll still get up in front of Americans and claim he’s not taking the side of the most belligerent enemy of democracy on this planet.

    Ukraine may be in rough shape, but no real fire fighter would stop trying to put out a fire at a burning house. There is always something to save.

      Not that I disagree about Ukraine but a good firefighter would probably know if a house is a lost cause and that the best course of action is to prevent the fire from spreading to others.

      He’s way too deep in bed with Russia, and has been since the 90s if not earlier, to ever be taken seriously. How the fuck he wasn’t disqualified and charge over election interference and acting as a foreign agent in 2016 is beyond me.

    Trump laid blame for the conflict on President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, his Democratic rival in November. He said Biden “egged it all on” by pledging to help Ukraine defend itself rather than pushing it to cede territory to Russia.

    “Biden and Kamala allowed this to happen by feeding Zelenskyy money and munitions like no country has ever seen before,” Trump said.

      Why didn’t he resolve the conflict during his presidency?

      Or we also believe him that it didn’t exist when he was president? His first impeachment was for blocking already approved aid.

          I think just the opposite. he won’t say it directly but if you put all the pieces together he’s saying we shouldn’t care about ukraine and he would have just let Russia take it. That’s probably why Putin decided to strike while trump was in office.

            Two different things. He, like mob bosses, demand respect and all that.

            And he doesn’t care about Ukraine. So he’ll serve it up on a platter.

        Have you heard the joke?

        Putin summons the ghost of Stalin. “Help me Stalin, I’m having trouble with nazis”.

        Stalin says “Just do what I did. Send in your best troops, the Ukrainians, and ask the US for supplies.”

          A lot of Russian “tankies” believe this unironically tho - that Putin should demonstratively purge the corrupt high command (which really is corrupt), nationalize our heavy industry such as car manufacturers, and force mobilize the masses to work on those plants, because otherwise we are at a real risk of losing to some stupid khokhols and their american overlords.

          They don’t understand that Putin runs on personal loyalty first and foremost and purging anyone for mere corruption and incompetence is unthinkable (he is merciless to people he sees as traitors however). It’s not how the system works at a fundamental level

    You know when you go to a movie and it looks amazing but turns out to be just the same fucking trope of a shitty guy with a sack of money belonging to an actual real bad guy and instead of just delivering it, the shitty guy blew it?

    Now you gotta sit through two hours of him verbally fellating the guy then getting actually scared? That one?

    Anyone else hate that trope?
