I could bet a good buck that the plan is to give in to Russia. It's what every Republican wants for whatever mysterious reason.

He will release it in 2 weeks, along with that healthcare plan that's coming in 2 weeks

[–] MrMcGasion@lemmy.world 7 points 4 months ago (1 children)

But he said that was going to be "infrastructure week"

[–] Minarble@aussie.zone 6 points 4 months ago

He will do that just after releasing his tax returns.

I didnt forget about the time Trump tried blackmailing Ukraine into interfering in our elections.

Trump: Cut off aid, let Russia win. War is over.

[–] sirico@feddit.uk 26 points 4 months ago

Zelenskyy cannot comprehend the genuis of Trump this man made an invisible wall round the whole of the US.

[–] snekerpimp@lemmy.world 12 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Ummm, “official act” to remove you permanently and anyone else that stands in the way?

[–] Grimpen@lemmy.ca 1 points 4 months ago

Oh well, if it might be an official act, then I guess he's presumptively immune, so no one could possibly investigate.

But they announced already did they not.

  • Ukraine and Russia start peace negotiations where Ukraine has to make concessions.
  • If Ukraine refuses, no more aid
  • If Russia refuses, more aid for ukraine

I don't believe them, but this was what camp Trump communicated. Or am I wrong.

[–] Jesusaurus@lemmy.world 15 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

If Ukraine refuses, provide aid to Russia

Fixed it for you

[–] Skua@kbin.earth 13 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Two of his advisors said that and then his spokesman said only statements made by Trump himself or authorised members of his campaign should be considered official

[–] Minarble@aussie.zone 2 points 4 months ago

That’s why it’s official policy that you should choose electrocution over shark attack if you are in an electric boat.

[–] Rampsquatch@sh.itjust.works 6 points 4 months ago (1 children)

From the start that is unacceptable. Russia should be making concessions, not Ukraine. Russia is the aggressor. Russia is in the wrong. All of the deaths and all of the destruction are the sole responsibility of Putin and his toadies.

[–] Badeendje@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

Agreed. But in the world view of Putin, Russia is a great power and the states in Russias orbit of influence are their vassals to do with as they please.

And if then colonial oppressors come along and start to tell these countries they have the right to freedom, self determination and all that nonsense, that disrupts the right of Russia to loot and pillage these countries.

So when Ukranians said "no" to Russia, they needed to be hammered back into their place. And it is all the fault of the west for getting these stupid ideas into their heads.

Same with Trump. Everyone knows his reputation. So of you are dumb enough to do work for him without getting "cash up front", you deserve not getting paid. And shame on the Justice Department for then getting the idea that he should be held to account.

[–] Snowclone@lemmy.world 8 points 4 months ago (1 children)

''Well if I tell you now it'll ruin the plan, you see it's gotta be a surprise''

He literally said this the last election.

[–] BruceTwarzen@lemm.ee 1 points 4 months ago

I still can't believe that worked and continues to work.

[–] Grant_M@lemmy.ca 6 points 4 months ago

Rapist coward trump will weasel on this one.
