Summary
In a Fox News interview, Donald Trump argued that Ukraine should not have resisted Russia’s 2022 invasion, claiming Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy should have made a deal with Vladimir Putin.
Trump criticized Zelenskyy for choosing to fight, compared the military strength of Russia and Ukraine, and said he could have ended the war quickly through negotiations.
Trump’s stance contrasts with Joe Biden’s strong support for Ukraine, including aid and sanctions on Russia.
His pro-Russia actions are way more weak than I would allow if I were Putin and actually controlled him, though.
Because of the separation of powers and checks and balances we have in the US, he doesn’t have unilateral power to do whatever he wants. He can typically only inch toward Putin’s goals. Why do you think he is trying to weaken our relationships with our allies through tariffs and talk of land grabs?
Yeah, I know how the US system works in reasonable detail. He commands all the security stuff, to start, and is immune to prosecution if he just ignores the rules that do exist. We saw that he’s pretty hard to impeach even with a split house, too.
He’s just like that. He’s mean and stupid. I see little evidence of an actual plan.
It is blatantly a means to draw us close to Russia and alienate our NATO allies.
By that logic, it helps China or Iran just as much.
Yes, it does. As does weakening the USD by pumping crypto. Look into how the world order works.
Alright, if we’re being condescending: Take your conspiracy theory and you can pound sand.
Ah. “Agree with me or fuck off” is such an informed position. You truly are a scholar of these times.
“Be nice or I don’t want to talk to you”
This is the internet, I don’t have to put up with shit if I don’t want to. And neither should anyone reading.
