"It's easier to fool a man than to convince him he'd been fooled." - Mark Twain
Tom Sawyer is a work of satire. It was written to shed light on how gullible and stupid Southern whites ~~were~~ are.
And how every adult in the story is a huge hypocrite.
Really makes me think of all the proud, racist christian women I know who gave birth out of wedlock and are now single-mothers.
This is what being a leader looks like.
It would be a shame if a shit end to this war buries Zelensky in history. He’s not perfect, but he deserves some monuments.
The actions of a man who loves his country and not power? Politicians in the US (on both sides) could never comprehend this.
Would his resignation prevent future attempts at running for president?
surely they'd preclude him getting voted back in...
Trump suggested that the Ukrainian president was responsible for starting the war. In reality, Russia launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, initiating the current land war.
I’d like it if more summaries of what conservatives say/believe were followed by sentences which began with “In reality…”
They should go even harder, and explain that Trump is apparently openly lying.
Trump lied, suggesting that the Ukrainian president was responsible for starting the war. In reality, Russia launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, initiating the current land war.
Trump lied that the Ukrainian president was responsible for starting the war. In reality, etc.
The only issue is that conservatives don't read so they'll never see it anyway.
Then it would be an inside joke for us!
Honestly he’s gotta be pretty fucking tired by now. I’d want to retire after leading a country through war for 3 years.
Going from comedian to wartime leader is quite a jump.
Well, he also went from lawyer to comedian. Kind of makes the jump seem much lower.
lol now, US president Krasnov Trump can't say President Zelensky is a dictator.
What a tyrannical dictator; shameful!
/S
Who the fuck would actually want his job? Besides some Russian cunt?
It's a hypothetical scenario anyways because Ukraine being a NATO member would mean NATO boots on ground in Ukraine, which the US (and in fairness a lot of other NATO countries, but for different reasons) want to avoid. But it calls the bluff on the unfounded dictator accusations that Russia and some puppets peddle.

NATO aint what it used to be. I suggest a new startup instead.
Edit: Lol, people downvoting me when one of the founding members is threatening to invade other members. Idiots.
EUTO
Hi there. Canadian here. We're still a part of NATO.
Now we just have to get our shit in gear. Canada needs more of everything defence wise. Maybe fewer generals though
And as constitutional monarchy, your King lives in the UK.
EUTO still fits.

Even if the USA were to leave NATO or refuse to participate, there still isn't a better security guarantee than the remaining block being obligated to engage militarily in your defense, and the block still contains nuclear powers.
Right.. so start a new organization with those members. Ukraine isn’t joining NATO with Trump holding veto powers. Anyone who can’t see this is myopic.
Why would the US leave when the russian asset can do more damage from within?
Ok, so that's the crux of it that I think was unclear in your original post.
Your initial post was read by me (and presumably others) as "NATO without the backing of the USA isn't a meaningful defense group"
But I think what you're saying is "ENTRY to NATO with the USA pulling the strings is an unrealistic goal"
