This is stupid and it’s right on Trumps level. It’s the perfect way to do persuade him.
He's so indebted to Putin he won't care. Supporting Ukraine is not an option for Trump.
The R cult won't care either, as proven by their consistent support throughout efforts to hamstring weapons transfers to Ukraine. Remember "I'd rather be a Russian, than a Democrat"... When they tell you who they are, believe them.
We've come all the way back around from "better dead than red".
Apparently zelensky remembers when the trump administration tried to coerce the Ukraine.

Trump is already a loser president.
So far he's lost 35 times...
Isn't it 36? There were 2 E. Jean Carroll cases
I think it's politically unwise for Zelenskiy to antagonize either candidate... but chances are Trump would start funding Putin regardless of what he did and gosh is it hilarious to see.
This isn't antagonism, this message isn't for Trump. It's an effort to strengthen his allies, set the stage, and focus their initiative should trump become re-elected.
If Trump gets elected again, there is no version of this situation that ends well for Zelenskyy and Ukraine. Nothing was lost by saying this.
I thinks it's a compliment for Trump not have been already now described as a loser.
Why? Trump has stated he will end the war in 24 hours. The only way he can do that is by turning off aid. Europ won't do that, and Ukraine won't stop then. So he is unable to keep his promise.
What more will trump do to Ukraine than not supply arms?
Supply Russia with arms?
I wish I could say that would never happen.. but trump presidency > global pandemic > supply chain collapse > war in Ukraine... We're all living this bizarre timeline so I won't jinx it.
Europe doesn't have the political will to support Ukraine alone long term. If Trump pulls out it will force Ukraine into peace negotiations
he already is a loser president
Donald who?
It must be a duck or something
Risks?
Fucking fool:
Trump's going to back Putin directly, against East Europe, gutting NATO, & Zelenskiy is goading him to be enemy?

Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
