According to U.S. President Donald Trump, Russia "has been fine on Ukraine" and "hasn't been doing much" to the country it has been attempting to violently conquer for over a decade.

"Russia, frankly, has been fine on Ukraine. They haven't been doing much," Trump told reporters on Oct. 19.

The president's remarks came the same day that a Russian daytime drone strike in a public park killed six people, including two children. The night before, Russia attacked Kyiv with over a dozen ballistic missiles and targeted nearly 30 critical energy facilities across the country.

From "end the war on day 1" to "it's fine".

    By the end of the year he'll declare the war "over", regardless of what's actually going on.

    He can try, but it would have no legal effect. Executive orders only work on federal agencies.

    It's ok. Cuckservatives have no standards so he doesn't need to make good on any of his promises to them. Maybe shit directly into their mouths a bit to placate them. Or insult them directly to their faces. You know, things cucks like.

    There is absolutely no limit to Trump’s depravity. He is utterly without a soul; purely and completely evil.

    He just wants Russian oil to drive down gas prices for the midterms. He never cared about Ukraine it was just words to get votes.

    In an interview with U.S. broadcaster ABC that aired over the weekend, Trump was asked about Putin's presence in Ukraine.

    He replied: "He's not going to go into Ukraine, alright? You can mark it down. You can put it down. You can take it anywhere you want." To which the puzzled interviewer asked: "Well, he's already there, isn't he?" referring to Russia's annexation of Crimea in 2014 and support for separatists in Ukraine's east.

    "OK, well, he's there in a certain way. But I'm not there. You have Obama there. And frankly, that whole part of the world is a mess under Obama with all the strength that you're talking about and all of the power of NATO and all of this. In the meantime, he's going away. He take, takes Crimea."

    So the US agreed to protect Ukraine from Russia of they gave up their nukes, and now the US says it's fine for Russia to invade Ukraine.

    He's doing everything in his might to lose the midterms even harder. That's the last Putin is gonna get out of him and he knows it.

    Actually, it could prove fatal to assume that the Republicans are going to lose the house(s). We should assume that they won't and do everything so that they actually do.

    But I do think that Putin is seeing Trump's usefulness for him fading, even if we're just looking at a potential defeat of his party.

    Absolutely. Mobilising dem voters is critically important.

    However, I don't think that's how Putin would see Trump. The whole strategy since forever has just been chaos.

    Whatever bullshit they can stir up in the US is good for Putin, it doesn't really matter what. They've been very successful, but it's by no means over. It's plausible that the US could have civil unrest, civil war, or a constitutional crisis in the coming months.

    He’s so used to living in a world where what he said is just what is, that when he says something so colossally stupid as this…. he truly thinks it’s radiates with an empirical profundity never imagined before. And this is because there exists no one in his world that will ever disagree with him or deny him anything he so much as glances at in intldifference.

    His entire being, his family,… the sum of all things, matter and- otherwise- that coalesced to form what now represents the unrivaled and peerlessly pure definition of abject impudence that a mortal human being can achieve without collapsing inward on itself like a dying star isn’t worthy of the oxygen it would take just to breathe these words aloud.

    And while many of us see him as the anthropomorphic end-product of a stool softener overdose, millions and millions of people remain ready to fight and die for this… gelatinously grotesque projection of what the concept of loathing would look like on a Rorschach Test if it happened to accidentally fall into and then back out of his diaper repeatedly.

    I guess all I’m saying is….

    They won’t show mercy, nor should you.

    The old, fat, orange bitch of Putin's is big butt-hurt because Ukraine disrupted Putin's bot army for him by bombing a data center - sad, sick, pervert.

    It was clear at the start of his 2nd term that it was only a matter of time before the US just turned on Ukraine. If Russia can do whatever it wants on their borders then maybe the US can too... how convenient. Watch this space, Canada.
