US seemingly watched russia get rekt by ukrainian drones and decided they'd like a punch in the face as well. But who am I to judge those masochistic tendencies.
The US military did a Tobias Funke “but maybe it’ll work for us”
he does have that tobias kind of energy just a slightly different flavor, e.g., orange instead of blue/diamond
As one of the ones paying for it that's who I am criticizing it
And then Krasnov turned down Ukraine's offer to help with modern drone warfare.
Who's Krasnov?

Ah, it's one of those weird BlueAnon conspiracy things
Only if you take that without a grain of salt. The "Krasnov" story is obviosly not trustworthy but it is obvious that the Trump administration is a lot friendlier towards Russia and a lot more hostile towards Europe as a whole and Ukraine in specific, than the previous administration. Doesn't matter why Trump and his administration is doing that, the actions speak for themselves. Might be as simple as that Maga's interests and those of Moscow just align on a lot of things.
This is just birtherism for liberals
Believing Trump is a Russian controlled agent is, acknowledging that Trump is deeply corrupt and bribed by foreign dictatorship is not (not necessarily Russia, but in general). The bribing is happening out in the open for everyone to see. Also just judge Trump by his actions. US support for Ukraine has been scaled down dramatically and largely has been taken over by Europe. Not only that Trump tried to bully Europe into stopping the support as well. Of the stuff that is supposedly still going to Ukraine, much is actually in question. At the same time Trump pushed repeatedly for a "peace deal" that was almost word to word what Russia demanded from Ukraine.
Why Trump is doing that doesn't really matter, there are plenty of reasons explaining that without him being a Russian agent.
No. Those are two different things
And yet you leap to the jingoistic conspiracy theory
I was being polemic. It is like saying Putin drinks the blood of young Russians. Yes, he doesn't do that literally but he is sending them to the slaughter house just the same.
it's more like trump has ripped off the veil both domestically and foreign alike.
as the prime minister of canada said at davos: the international rules based order has always been a farce and; up until trump; our epstein overlords have understood the importance of maintaining the appearance of international cooperation to justify genocides and ethnic cleansing for profit seeking control all over the world.
trump is the first american leader to openly believe that hard power is the only thing that matters and that soft power is burden at best to the us empire's prowess; that's why he respects russia for its perceived military capabilities and shutdown usaid & withdrew memberships from several international governing bodies.
That is false. The US followed a clearly different strategy before. Yes, it has slowly shifted indpendently from Trump but the outright hostility towards Europe does not serve any US interests. It is entirely self harming for the US. Not investing into European strategic assets is one thing, openly attacking Europe and threatening with annexation of territory of allied nations, making it clear by actions (not merely talking) that one considers Russia more of an ally than the EU, is an entirely different thing.
That sure is a lot of assertions you made without evidence
What assertion? Hard to respond to you when you are entirely unspecific. Much of what I wrote were no assertions but simple facts. The US literally threatened to annex territory of a NATO ally for example.
You see that 's' at the end of 'assertions'? That means it's plural.
My god. This is next level stupid.
