I'm sorry, but the 'peace through strength' crowd expecting Trump to resist Putin was delusional from the start.
Here's why:
- Trump has been pro-Russia since the 70s, and his sons said that they made a lot of money from Russia
- Russians helped Trump win the presidency in 2016
- Trump sucked up to Putin already back in 2018, and even gave classified information to Lavrov
- Trump despises Zelenskyy because he didn't provide any dirt on the Bidens about the Burisma case in 2019
- Trump lifted sanctions against Russian oligarchs and wanted to invite Russia back to G7 in 2019
- Trump stalled 400 million aid and Javelin sales to Ukraine
- Trump and Mike Johnson stalled Ukraine aid for 7 months in congress
- Trump administration is full of pro-Kremlin actors who have blamed NATO and Ukraine for the war. These include Tulsi Gabbard, RFK Jr. and JD Vance
- Trump has never criticized Putin yet he called Zelenskyy a 'dictator'
"Consider here in America that after 9/11 you would have sat down with Osama bin Laden and said, 'OK, what else do you want?' I mean, it's unimaginable."
— Kaja Kallas, regarding Ukraine peace talks
Trump and Vance didn’t say a single bad word about Putin—a bloodthirsty dictator who invaded Ukraine, poisons his opposition, steals from his people, rigs elections, and murders those who speak out.
They spent the entire meeting lying and yelling like maniacs at Zelenskyy—the leader of a democratic country defending itself against Russian imperialism and aggression.
I am so disgusted and embarrassed. Trump and Vance are pathetic, lazy, lying, bottom-feeding grifters. Thank God Zelenskyy has the balls to fact check these bullies to their face. President @ZelenskyyUa—the people of Massachusetts along with countless millions of Americans stand with you.
9/ The United States voted “No” on a UN resolution condemning Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. In doing so, Trump broke ranks with American democratic allies and sided with Russia, Belarus, North Korea, and other dictatorships. Zelenskyy should thank them for that? 10/
Of the many grotesque elements of this charade, the most pathetic is the pretense that a few dozen or hundred or thousand more thank-yous from Zelensky would alter Trump's clearly established course to satisfy every Russian desire regarding Ukraine & to throw lifelines to Putin.
Ukrainians have been fighting invaders from Muscovy for hundreds of years, long before the United States even existed. A piece of trash like Trump isn't going to change that.
Ukraine will win. The Moscow empire will fall.
Zelensky is a wartime leader watching his people suffer and die under Russian attacks every day. To be lectured and lied to by Trump and Vance, as they defend the war criminal dictator committing these atrocities, is unimaginable agony. An everlasting shame for America.
For two years now, EU transshipments to Russia via Kazakhstan have boomed without anyone doing anything to stop this. Root cause is that the EU is broken. Each of the 27 member countries use the EU to hide behind each other. There is no transparency. There is no accountability...
Pretty rich coming from a guy who spent 44 billion USD on one of the biggest social media platforms, and then changed its algorithm so that everyone sees his pro-Trump posts first.
Emme ole sanoneet lopettavamme velaksi elämistä. Päätimme hallitusneuvotteluissa 6 mrd:n toimista. Se oli tavoitteemme.
Teimme päätökset kolmesta lisää!
Yksikään muu hallitus ei ns. vapaaehtoisesti ole/olisi kyennyt tällaiseen.
Eikö sen voisi joskus todeta? Edes mediassa?
