US President Donald Trump says Russia has made a "pretty big concession" to end the war in Ukraine by stopping short of taking the "whole country."

Its been so painfully obvious this man's been Putin's bitch since 2016, there's a reason people were suspecting Russia interfered with that election, his supporters denied it, and now that he's openly supporting all of his asslickers showing support as well and following their herd like the good obedient sheep they are.

Let’s give thanks to daddy Vlad.

Its not a concession. They tried. they came very close to accomplishing their goal. But because of the outcomes of the battles of Irpin, Bucha, Hostomel Airport, and one of the most critical battles of the entire war, Moschun, Russia was defeated and lost their opportunity to quickly topple the government.

In short. They didnt concede. They got their asses handed to them. And played it off as an act of mercy when they ran away with their tails between their legs.

Does he know what concession means?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 hours ago

He knows the con part

[–] [email protected] 17 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Funny way of saying they tried and failed.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 hours ago

Something something 2 week special operation.

[–] [email protected] 35 points 11 hours ago

if Russia could have seized all of Ukraine they would have already what a load of shit

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 hours ago

By the same logic democrats have made a big concession and a favour to you by not winning the elections

[–] [email protected] 21 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Anybody but Trump would have died of shame long ago.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 9 hours ago

That’s a world I’d like to live in. Where asshole grifters could just die of shame. No more grifters.

Exactly what Putin's bitch would say. Not surprising.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 13 hours ago

For someone who claims to be an old school masculine individual he is an incredibly insecure whore.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 13 hours ago

Who stopped them, motherfucker?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 12 hours ago

If the Chinese leader acted like this they would be lighting police stations on fire. Why are Americans limp dicked?

[–] [email protected] 31 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

How kind of Putin. USA is truly a Russia's oblast.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Not the USA, just the idiots temporarily in control.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 hours ago

And who put them there?

The world is held hostage by three sociopaths, Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin and Benjamin Netanyahu. Two of them are war criminals, and the third is waiting to happen at any moment.

Israel is like a city in US. They have 10 million population. They are local, not global players.

I fully expected you to say Xi

[–] [email protected] 10 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago) (2 children)

I agree, the third big single powerful person is certainly Xi. I suppose one can say the "sociopath" is more evident with Netanyahu than Xi, because for now China is able to sit back and let Russia and USA self sabotage to a weaker position while mucking with the rest of the world, while China gets to play comparative good guy in foreign policy. This is of course grading on a curve, they aren't saints either.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 13 hours ago

What is this?! Nuanced thoughts that recognise that everyone is an arsehole? On my internet?!

💛

[–] [email protected] 2 points 12 hours ago

Exactly my thoughts

[–] [email protected] 4 points 14 hours ago

Their reach through American proxies is larger than their population.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

I don't want to excuse Netanyahu here. He certainly belongs behind bars in my opinion. However, he only holds a part of the world hostage rather than all of it. I see him on par with folks like Kim Jon Un or Mohamed bin Salman rather than Trump or Putin.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 hours ago

And yet, Israel has practically dictated US Foreign Policy in the Middle East, which is a theater of conflict in which everyone is playing, including China.

[–] [email protected] 52 points 19 hours ago

Concession? They tried to do exactly that and are still trying.

Trump really is a Russian

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago)

In regards to that Ukraine has already made an extremely huge concession by not assassinating putin and all his officers.

What concession is Russia making in regards to occupying crimea and Donbas though?

[–] [email protected] 21 points 16 hours ago

Not for the lack of trying

Things a rapist would say.

Things a rapist is saying

[–] [email protected] 61 points 22 hours ago (3 children)

He could have killed her too, but he ONLY raped her. What a beneficent act. /s

[–] [email protected] 7 points 14 hours ago

She should thank him, actally..

[–] [email protected] 11 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 17 hours ago)

It's even dumber than that. Because, using the same parallel, he didn't do it only because she kicked him in the balls and pulled out a knife (meaning: Ukraine defended itself, it was not Moscow's decision to stop).

The audacity of this motherfucker.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 13 hours ago

Just what a treasonous Russian stooge would say.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Fuck the US. It's on the same level as Russia and China for me at this point.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 18 hours ago

China's honestly gone up a rank, and that isn't because it has changed

[–] [email protected] 17 points 18 hours ago

I guess by that standard, I made a "pretty big concession" by not doing that 3rd push-up. I totally could have, promise.

[–] [email protected] 63 points 22 hours ago (13 children)

Look at the stupid America has unleashed on the world.

Put your dicks away, you’re stinking up the place.

I hate this timeline. I hate that my manager, a WOMAN, voted for this POS. Every post I make on Facebook about what he did today is an indirect laser beamed thought to her “this is YOUR fault!”
