Summary

Trump is pushing for softer language on Russia’s war in Ukraine, straining G7 unity.

Officials say the U.S. is blocking references to "Russian aggression" and prefers calling it the "Ukraine conflict."

This shift follows Trump's peace talks with Putin that excluded Ukraine's President Zelensky, whom Trump later called a "dictator."

The change in rhetoric contrasts with Biden-era support for Ukraine and threatens a unified G7 stance.

Great I wanted to suggest kicking the US out, if they want to do it themselves, less potential for (violent) conflicts.

He can try to "blow apart" G7, but since every other member state is very likely not in the best mood towards the USA, it will likely just result in the US being gone, i.e. G6 has been "born".

They should kick him out when he shows up for that threat

I'd love to ask all of the MAGA heads to just question themselves this: Why go through all of this just to help Putin. Some fucked up shit must go on that Trump risks all of this just for Putin.

Same reason the US helps Israel?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago) (3 children)

The US helps Israel because they like the US more than the rest of the middle east and the US wants control of the middle east so Iran doesn't control it as a proxy for Russia.

So the US supports Isreal to hurt Russian interests. And is now diverting all Ukraine funds to Isreal to waste the money.

Under Biden we were on track to steal Palestine as a reaction to Putin stealing parts of Ukraine.

Now that Putin has Ukraine he doesn't care about distracting the US through Iran and is fine having his puppet Trump keep sending their tax dollars to Isreal.

But since Trump is giving up Ukraine it is more of a trade where the US trades control of Ukraine for control of Palestine.

Sorry but what the fuck are you talking about. You're inventing connections between conflicts that aren't there. Russia and the US don't particularly care about Palestine. Believing that there's some kind of exchange where the US is 'taking' Palestine because of the conflict in Ukraine is some of the dumbest shit I've ever heard. It's like you think all of geopolitics is the US and Russia sitting around a map of the world and both of them are ten year olds.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 11 hours ago

The US has already had control over Palestine through Israel for decades.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 hours ago

joe biden himself said if isreal wouldnt exist, america would need to create a proxy there to control the region.

The US-Israel alliance has been a disgusting and embarrassing debacle

It's almost as if he works for Putin

[–] [email protected] 21 points 19 hours ago* (last edited 19 hours ago) (8 children)

Maybe he does.

Maybe Putin's colleagues found out something interesting about Trump back in the days, and made him an offer he could not refuse - "go and become King of America, we'll even help you a little, but you'll serve us".

Wild speculation, of course. But he definitely doesn't have national interest burdening his mind in any way or manner.

P.S. If I worked in the Secret Service, I would use my telescope to watch birds fly and tree leaves wobble. Even if there was a remote weapons station turning towards my client, or a wire guided object coming in - I would hardly notice until impact.

Blow it apart. America doesn't belong with its former Allies.

Its clear that America has no interest in being apart of the free world, they checked out.

Now fuck off and go destroy yourselves in a frenzy over transgender bathroom doors and eggs. The rest of us still have lives to live and futures to protect.

According to Alnur Mussayev, 6th Directorate of the KGB in Moscow, Don was recruited by the KGB in 1987 and given the codename Krasnov.

Drop the USA and change the metting to the G6 + California until Jan 2029.
