Concerning whatever this felon awaiting sentencing might say, recall that the opposite is true.

He'll say the same to Taiwan, too
I mean, only if that's what Xi writes on the check's memo line.
I just refuse to listen to a chronically lying fat fuck who shits himself on the regular
He's way too deep in bed with Russia, and has been since the 90s if not earlier, to ever be taken seriously. How the fuck he wasn't disqualified and charge over election interference and acting as a foreign agent in 2016 is beyond me.
Guys, I’m starting to think this trump fellow is a goddamned fucking moron whose evil is not limited to sexual assault and fraud.
he is a dumb man. he is a dumb man, i know him. i can tell you surely he is an excellent idiot. great idiot. bigly.
I’m shocked, I tell you, just shocked.

It's making big sense lately why tankies LOVE trump so much.
He supports their favorite dictators very well.
I hope all the tankies and "genociders" will vanish after november so we can have normal discussions.
The worst thing about genocide is how it prevents internet liberals from shitposting in peace.
Voting trump won't stop it. Voting kamala won't stop it. Voting third party won't stop it. Widespread protests won't stop it. But go ahead and explain how we're all culpable regardless.

Trump laid blame for the conflict on President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, his Democratic rival in November. He said Biden “egged it all on” by pledging to help Ukraine defend itself rather than pushing it to cede territory to Russia.
“Biden and Kamala allowed this to happen by feeding Zelenskyy money and munitions like no country has ever seen before,” Trump said.
Why didn't he resolve the conflict during his presidency?
Or we also believe him that it didn't exist when he was president? His first impeachment was for blocking already approved aid.

It's great when his arguments only strengthen my resolve to stand with Democrats in supporting Ukraine.
feeding Zelenskyy money and munitions like no country has ever seen before
Except the Soviet Union during WW2. But we all know Trump is on the wrong side of that one too.
Have you heard the joke?
Putin summons the ghost of Stalin. "Help me Stalin, I'm having trouble with nazis".
Stalin says "Just do what I did. Send in your best troops, the Ukrainians, and ask the US for supplies."
A lot of Russian "tankies" believe this unironically tho - that Putin should demonstratively purge the corrupt high command (which really is corrupt), nationalize our heavy industry such as car manufacturers, and force mobilize the masses to work on those plants, because otherwise we are at a real risk of losing to some stupid khokhols and their american overlords.
They don't understand that Putin runs on personal loyalty first and foremost and purging anyone for mere corruption and incompetence is unthinkable (he is merciless to people he sees as traitors however). It's not how the system works at a fundamental level
"they didn't extort ukraine for oppo research hard enough!"
Saw this just after reading the post about Russia knocking out Ukrainian citizens' ability to heat their homes this winter.
Any tankies wanna weigh in on why this is acceptable?
Russia good, West bad. No further thought required.

I am flabbergasted. Who would have thought that a man with decades long ties to Russia, who's met with and spoke highly of Putin, who had russian spies crawling all over his first presidential campaign, who's backed by russian oligarch money, would say such a silly thing about Ukraine.
They're planning an offensive that has moscow scared enough they are rattling their nuclear sabers. Seems like a poorly thought out move for a "destroyed" country and that their hegemonic buddies would advise them against rather than helping them tool up for the fight.
You know when you go to a movie and it looks amazing but turns out to be just the same fucking trope of a shitty guy with a sack of money belonging to an actual real bad guy and instead of just delivering it, the shitty guy blew it?
Now you gotta sit through two hours of him verbally fellating the guy then getting actually scared? That one?
Anyone else hate that trope?
Ukraine may be in rough shape, but no real fire fighter would stop trying to put out a fire at a burning house. There is always something to save.
Not that I disagree about Ukraine but a good firefighter would probably know if a house is a lost cause and that the best course of action is to prevent the fire from spreading to others.
Almost as if no analogy is 100% perfect
They would also yell at the people holding back the water.
Its almost like thats exactly what has happened and is still happening. Russia would be on its knees if we actually stopped holding Ukraine back

If Trump is elected, the USA would also be demolished, but you should not give up the entire country.
Trump more and more desperate for those Russian funds. Probably gets $1 million for each Ukraine/Zelensky diss.
And he'll still get up in front of Americans and claim he's not taking the side of the most belligerent enemy of democracy on this planet.
Trump always sides with himself.
“If they made a bad deal it would’ve been much better. They would’ve given up a little bit and everybody would be living and every building would be built and every tower would be aging for another 2,000 years.”
Just a little appeasement, what would go wrong. Of course I can believe he's fully unaware that Ukraine tried that twice already in the Minsk agreements.
Yeah, we should make him president...see what happens. He's angry, just a little appeasement would help. We just gave up a good century of women's rights and LGBTQ rights. We could start slavery again to hopefully have a good country again 🙏. What could go wrong. Right?
I WONDER WHY ITS DEMOLISHED, MAN IF ONLY WE KNEW.
jokes aside, this is to be expected from trump, nothing less from him is expected.
