How are the liberals who think Trump is Putin's puppet reconciling with this?
That's the neat part, they aren't
Secret plot to pretend that he's not a Kremlin asset
It's what one of the CNN-addled libs at the gym said
beautiful
all they gotta do is say kayfabe and stop thinking about it and tbh they might be right who tf knows
I went round and round with one on Reddit trying to get them to figure out they couldn't explain why Trump isn't doing what Putin wants and it went nowhere. Trump does whatever Putin wants except when he doesn't and that happens because there's other unnamed pressures that prevent him.
But you donβt understand! The piss tape would ruin him, not like the access Hollywood tape, not like the 37 felonies, not like the decades of evidence of cheating contractors and family legacy of white supremacy, no, a tape of him having sex with prostitutes would end him! He has to do what Putin says or else! πππ
5D Chess to trick Them, the Most Important Person, into thinking he isn't Putin's puppet.
I have believed that peace in Ukraine means having to give up claims to parts of eastern Ukraine.
I had hoped that perhaps the Trump administration would at least not be like the Biden administration, but frankly I had forgotten how America never keeps anything it promised under Trump (Iran nuclear deal torn up, and now the American hostage exchange with Hamas) OR the Biden administration.
So I'm not sure where we go from here. I don't see a peace deal being made.
Even if the USA wanted this war over, at this point I think Europe itself would start WW3 just to keep the war economy flowing.
I can't really determine how much of Europe's talk about Russia and Ukraine is posturing and how much is serious, if they actually got called on it. They're right there so any "limited exchange" wouldn't really feel that limited.
Considering the huge defense budget, official war economies, and defence projects being given to companies all over Europe, I don't believe it's just posturing.
Europe is invested in this imperialistic war and they want to get their share of the pie at the cost of as many Ukranians as it takes I guess.
One could simply stop arming - war ends.
Stop arming Pissreal - War ends.
All deliberate policy decisions that Emergency Cheeto has.
Trump is only concerned with the matters of empire as far as he can see them in front of his face. From "stop the war because death is bad" to "hang on there's a bunch of suits with american names telling that funding the wars is the best way to end them"
Maybe Trump could stop for a moment, listen to the things he says, and play back this part about "everything out of his mouth".
weak aura
I hate this fucker saying "this thing would have never happened" it's so insanely smug and self-aggrandizing, and his cult followers believe that horseshit. YOU ARMED UKKKRAINE YOU FASCIST FUCK.
He must've found his stash of European decongestant. Straight fire!
I assume Trump is about to get Orban on board to invade Western Ukraine and enter the fray as a third party, PlanetSide 2 style.
Why?
Because he doesn't like it, and is going ro make it stop. Didn't you read the Op?
Okay.
Slop.
