Lmao
Vote for him and not only will he wreck the country, he'll hand Ukraine over to Russia! Two good things!
Well, I'm not the one to discuss "wrecking the country" with, as I'm not American I don't follow closely American politics except for things related to destroying my country :)
As for handing Ukraine over to Russia - that's not what he promises though, is it? He promised to force both sides to negotiate. So basically the only thing that will save lives. Biden promises to just continue the war, thus contributing to more death and suffering.
Oh wow so you support Trump but don't follow American politics? Color my surprised. If you were American, you'd be fit right in with his base
Unless you're in a handful who aren't at risk anyway (Russia, China, NK, etc), a Trump presidency increases the chance of your country being destroyed.
Negotiating with an invader means losing at least part of your country. You think Trump - who lives in Putin's pocket - is going to propose a handshake and an apology?
I follow that part of American politics that impacts me. Murdering people I know, sponsoring war on the territories where I lived and where my family/friends still live on, turning my country into the biggest mass prison of our time - that impacts me. "Project 2025" and whatever else doesn't impact me (or at least impacts me way less). So yes, I support Trump based on the things that are important to me, I'm not really interested in USA's internal politics because it doesn't affect me, what's wrong with that?
It's exactly the opposite. Ukraine (or rather, more importantly - people in Ukraine) right now is being destroyed by Biden. Trump is the only hope there is for people trapped in Ukraine to survive.
Yes, that's how it works. The best time to negotiate was.. well, any time in the past (but especially so at the start of the war). The second best time is now.
I think (or rather I hope), he will do what he said he will do - force both sides to negotiate, which will lead to people stop being murdered/wounded and suffering.
Where do you live that suffering would be reduced by a Trump presidency?
The only thing that needs to happen in Ukraine is for Russia to get the fuck out. Bam, problem solved. War over. No more dead Ukrainians. A Trump presidency will not end the suffering - it will just legitimize it.
I live outside of Ukraine (but only because I left before the war started, as otherwise I would be trapped together with millions of other Ukrainians), so fortunately personally I'm not suffering (my biggest "suffering" is that our government now denies to give people new passports abroad, and if I come back I will be trapped just like all the other people there, but well, it's nothing compared to what other people have to endure).
For those who are staying trapped in Ukraine though, Trump presidency would (hopefully) absolutely reduce their suffering.
Most likely it would indeed solve the problem.
But it is not happening and Russia does not "gets the fuck out".
What do you mean?
If he follows through with his promises to end the war by forcing both sides to negotiate, it absolutely will end the suffering.
You are dreaming if you think handing over a significant portion of your country to an invader will be the end of it.
You know how Russia took Chrimea and no one really did anything about it? That's why they invaded Ukraine. Trump will "stop" this invasion but it won't be the last - and it certainly won't stop at Ukraine. It also sends a very clear signal to China that there will be no repercussions if they invade Taiwan.
You are way too short-sighted with your assessment. Trump and Putin are both shady criminals and you're completely ignoring history
Your whole reply is this speculation I see again and again when trying to have a discussion here on Lemmy... "if you don't stop Putin he will conquer the world".
You are willing to sacrifice hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians because of this belief, instead of doing something yourself (like joining foreign legion). I consider it absolutely wrong and immoral.
So are Zelensky, Biden, Boris Johnson and everybody else.
What history? That history in which almost every single war ends in finally starting negotiations?
On the contrary, I think all reasonable countries need to come to Ukraine's aid here to stop the invasion. Russia needs to be defeated and admonished. It needs to be made clear to everyone that illegal invasions and land grabs will be stopped with force.
Do you really think any of those people are on the same level of evil as Trump and Putin?
First off, that's not true. More wars end with negotiation than total victory but it's not "almost every war" by a longshot. Clearly you don't know history. If you did, you'd realize that most "negotiations" aren't even - one side comes out on top...and in this case, it would be the country who started the whole thing. It's crazy that you want your country to lose.
But I was specifically referring to the history of the people and countries in question. Two of the worst leaders of a major country in modern history with a track record of putting personal gain above the well being of the country they claim to represent.
So exactly as I said "you are willing to sacrifice hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians because of this belief".
Any aid to Ukrainian government helps them stay in power, and continue to terrorize the people, kidnap them from the streets & send to die, forbid people to leave the country, etc.
Of course.
They all participate in murdering Ukrainians.
And I don't see Trump as evil btw, I see him as the only hope for my friends and family survival.
Well, name one reason I should support the current government of my country.
Every single person I know, especially those who are still trapped in Ukraine, is more afraid of Zelensky than Putin. It's Zelensky who wants to kidnap them (or their husband/son/brother/etc.) and send them to die. It's Zelensky who makes people afraid of leaving their home. It's Zelensky who prevents them from leaving the country. It's Zelensky who continues saying "no" to negotiations.
You want to know how bad the situation is? People used to escape Ukraine through occupied territories, through Russia. People would use whatever opportunity they have, just to get to the occupied territories (mostly by lying to the authorities about having family on the occupied territories, because they used to let you through in those cases), because from there they could simply head to Russia, from where they could either go whenever they want or live in Russia in peace. I know this because a family member of mine managed to escape this way. Now they don't let anyone through, because they realized that people prefer risking their lives by going to occupied territories than dying for Zelensky. How many people died trying to escape through mountains or rivers? For an average Ukrainian, it's Zelensky who wants to kill them, not Putin.
And you still don't see a reason why I want peace?
There is also this propaganda of Russia being the modern Nazi Germany that wants to exterminate Ukrainians or something. Can you imagine a Pole, or even better a Jew during WW2 who wants to escape their country and go to Nazi Germany, because they would be safer there and treated better? Yeah, I doubt it. This is the reality in Ukraine though. Or rather it was, because as I said - now even that is impossible...
You see how absurd this is?
You're quite obviously paid to support ruzzian nazi invasions. Hope those worthless rubles are worth being on the wrong side of history.
You can fuck off to hell you worthless piece of trash.
It's actually current Ukrainian government that are nazis :)
Typical guy with ad hominems without actual arguments :)
No, it isn't. You're embarrassing yourself.
I like that two whole word phrase you've learned, you lean quite hard on it though. Do they teach you that hilarious tactic in the ruzzian troll camps?
Oh, really?
So for example Azov brigade and glorification of Stepan Bandera is just a Russian misinformation, am I right?
How embarrassing for you. You must be disabled in order for you not to be forcibly conscripted by the nazi ruzzian regime to die on the front lines.
Eh, and again war supporters have to rely on ad hominem to try to prove their point because they have no sound arguments :)
The only government that tries to forcibly conscript and send me (and countless other Ukrainians) to die is Ukrainian government though.
He will force Ukraine to become part of Ruzzia's nazi dictatorship.
Get fucked you anti freedom piece of trash.
Speculation and ad hominem. Yep, that's a typical Biden supporter right here, no sound arguments as always :)
Nazism mention is especially funny though, you do know that it is current Ukrainian government that support Nazis? Like real Nazis, not just "I use Nazi word even though I don't know what it actually means"
I'm not a Biden supporter, I just hate child raping traitor felons.
No they don't support them. That's a common lie spread by the enemies of the free world. So now we know EXACTLY who you are.
Weird, but ok.
Accusation without proof, again.
LMAO.
Well, here is a compilation of links you might find interesting ;)
https://lemmy.libertarianfellowship.org/post/2451/12269
Here's wikipedia article about the famous Azov Brigade (Ukrainian heroes!): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Azov_Brigade
Here's wikipedia article about Stepan Bandera: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stepan_Bandera, that guy is glorified in Ukraine, we rename streets after this hero ;)
Here's wikipedia article about Yaroslav Hunka, another Ukrainian hero: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yaroslav_Hunka_scandal
All very interesting articles I'm sure you will enjoy reading. Is wikipedia the enemy of the free world as well now? ;)
And who EXACTLY am I? Enemy of the free world? Well, that is unfortunate that me posting the truth backed by sources (as compared to your baseless accusations and ad hominem) makes you feel like that :\
Oh I know all about azov brigade. Where was it that president Zelinsky endorsed them again? That's what I thought.
Btw, for your reading pleasure - you traitor supporting child rapist lover.
It seemed like that was all going to change Wednesday, when the woman, who has gone by the pseudonyms “Katie Johnson” and “Jane Doe,” was set to appear at a press conference at the law offices of Lisa Bloom, a high-profile civil rights attorney and TV commentator. But the woman didn’t come to the press conference. Bloom told a room full of waiting reporters that Johnson was afraid to show her face after receiving multiple death threats, and that they would have to reschedule.
The lawsuit alleged a number of charges against both Trump and Epstein, including rape, sexual abuse, assault and battery, and false imprisonment. Johnson said that when she was 13, Epstein lured her to parties at his apartment by promising “money and a modeling career.”
Johnson said Trump had sexual contact with her at four of those parties, including tying her to a bed and violently raping her in a “savage sexual attack.” The lawsuit said Johnson “loudly pleaded” with Trump to stop, but that he responded by “violently striking Plaintiff in the face with his open hand and screaming that he would do whatever he wanted.”
After that, Trump allegedly threatened to harm or kill Johnson and her family if she ever told anyone. Johnson said Trump told her he could make them “disappear” like Maria — a 12-year-old girl Johnson says Trump also forced her to have sexual contact with, and whom Johnson hadn’t seen since that encounter.
Johnson also accused Epstein of raping her “anally and vaginally despite her loud pleas to stop,” and that he “attempted to strike Plaintiff about the head with his closed fists while he angrily screamed that he, Defendant Epstein, rather than Defendant Trump, should have been the one who took Plaintiff’s virginity.”
The court filings also included a statement from “Tiffany Doe,” another anonymous woman, who said that she witnessed the rapes and procured the young girls for the parties, and “Joan Doe,” a classmate of the victim who said she was told about the rapes during the following school year. Tiffany Doe said that Epstein and Trump knew that Johnson was 13.
You though what?
Literally the first link I found while searching: https://www.bbc.com/ukrainian/66141524, is him shaking hand of brigade's commander endorsment enough for you? Or what exactly are you looking for?
What about every other link I sent you? What do you think of Stepan Bandera, that great guy that fought for Ukrainian independence? :)
As for the rest of your message - this is again just an accusation without proof, if any of this has been proven he would be in the jail already.
It's getting kinda boring, I back up my claims with sources every time, and you post accusations without any proofs :\
Nice to see you ruzzian trolls are still getting paid to sow misinformation in support of your fuhrer Putin and his subordinate traitor trump.
You are worth less than the shit I took this morning.
Yeah yeah, ad hominem and baseless accusations, another smartie totally not bot ;)
Name one thing I've said that is not true. Pro tip: you can't.
Everything you've spouted is worthless garbage. No one is buying this trash you're paid to push.
Well, feel free to refute anything I've said - I would like to learn where am I wrong ;)
Already did and you already know you're wrong.
Oh I might have missed that, would you be so kind to point out where exactly did you refute anything I've said? :)
In case you're not aware of that, calling something garbage is not in any way a sound argument that refutes anything, it's a fallacy that is used when you know you are actually wrong ;)
