Summary

Donald Trump defended Russia's massive missile and drone attack on Ukraine that followed his administration's halt to intelligence sharing and military aid to Kyiv, saying Putin was "doing what anybody would do."

Trump told reporters he finds it "easier" to work with Russia than Ukraine, claiming Putin "wants to end the war."

While threatening vague sanctions against Russia on social media, Trump's actual actions have targeted Ukraine, including cutting off military supplies and disabling Ukraine's access to satellite imagery.

Ukrainian forces have reportedly suffered battlefield setbacks as a direct result of these U.S. policy changes.

Wow! These guys are so blinded by their love of privilidge.

Trust me, you’d rather be a Dem.

Fucking clueless.

[-] Aux@feddit.uk 2 points 9 months ago

Mate, that was during Trump's first term. Trust me, they're better off in Russia.

[-] makyo@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

Okay let's game this out then. If you had a president who is stomping on your civil rights, tearing down the safety net, and crashing your economy - what is it that 'anyone would do'?

[-] troglodytis@lemmy.world 6 points 9 months ago

Play Nintendo. I like the character that wears green

Wait really? Since when? I've gotta try it now:

Luigi Mangione

Nope, that seems to work

Just saying a person's name isn't the threshold, this isn't reddit. But no, calling for violence on .world typically results in mod action.

Someone should ask him what he would do if Russia took Alaska.

[-] OnASnowyEvening@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

Well, you'd have to ask, was there a reason they took Alaska? They might have a good reason. Maybe they think there was something wrong with how we bought it from them. They might feel we took advantage of them. I mean, wouldn't you sympathize with someone that felt taken advantage of? They'll have a good reason. Russia wouldn't do anything on a whim. Not just to enrich themselves or establish a beachhead for the rest of the continental Americas; surely not.

Of course... even if it were a beachhead... Russia might have a good reason, and we like Russia, they're good friends. Maybe we should join together in some kind of union...

PS: If someone was nodding their head along with the above, just know you're on the wrong side of... well, everything.

[-] psx_crab@lemmy.zip 2 points 9 months ago

I wouldn't do that.

Good luck dealing with a Mexican insurgency.

[-] Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

I would heartily support one.

[-] kn0wmad1c@programming.dev 1 points 9 months ago

So another way to read this is Trump admitting that he wants to invade Ukraine?

[-] KeenFlame@feddit.nu 1 points 9 months ago

Yes when he sprung the bloody wedding type ambush on Zelensky. Right up to that moment his sycophants did not agree that he was on the fascist dictator's side, but since then they ofc all turned their coat because even their decades long chant of being world moral police it only took one self proclaimed Jesus to flip their whole purpose into violence. It's very sad and hard to belive

[-] superflycrazy@lemm.ee 1 points 9 months ago

the blue and yellow suit is beyond insulting. petty observation. shrug.

[-] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

"... with the intel that we gave to them."

Literally viewing the world like a EU4 map painting player would

[-] Oomny@lemmy.ca -1 points 9 months ago

Sure....it's what anyone would do to defeat their enemies.

[-] KeenFlame@feddit.nu 1 points 9 months ago

No. Some would not invade and destroy a country and say "I want to end this war" while not honoring 24 ceasefires in a row continuing to bombard civilian targets.
