This is the art of the deal: give them everything they want, say it was the plan all along, and then brag how you won the negotiation.

It didn't need to happen. It's your fault. Your skirt was a finger too short, Ukraine.

Who really believes Russia will stop at their current claims? Once they achieve their current goals, they'll attack for more, and more, and more. The killing doesn't stop.

Well, he might be on to something.

I'm studying world history for the first time and I've so far gotten to 1938 and while I know absolutely nothing that happened after that, so far it looks like this suggestion has worked with this Hitler fellow.

If Poland were to suddenly surrender to Germany, everything would be “much better,” at least according to Donald Trump.

During an afternoon press conference Wednesday, the Republican presidential nominee urged the Eastern European nation to submit to the foreign power, claiming that any deal, no matter how dismal for Poland’s freedom, would have been better than the current state of affairs.

“Poland is gone. It’s not Poland anymore. You can never replace those cities and towns, and you can never replace the dead people, so many dead people,” Trump said. “Any deal, even the worst deal, would have been better than what we have right now.

It's scary how few words I had to replace to make that work. Appeasement of a genocidal dictator does not have a good historical track record.

What a tool.

Trump doing his best Chamberlin impersonation?

So Kamela Harris is Churchill?

You can never replace those cities and towns

For someone who nominally has a fortune in real estate, he clearly doesn’t understand how construction works.

You absolutely can replace towns and cities, and someone is going to make a shitload of money doing just that once the conflict is over. The only question at the moment is whether they’re going to be Russians or westerners.

"you can never replace the dead people, so many dead people"

Jfc this guy somehow made it? How about, "we can never replace the countless lives lost in this war, or repair the families that have been broken"

Idk. Is it great? Nah, but I can type a thing in like 20 seconds and this orange potato just fuckin speaks like a middle school student. How the fuck

Ah, the negotiator /s

Power of the pee pee video

That sounds like a strong American leader. Give those Russkies everything! The cold war will be over tomorrow!

He's Putins pretty lil puppet. 😊

The Art of the Squeal

I have no words

Trumps plan to “solve russias war against ukraine” is to “give up”.

Is this the man you want leading your country?

Imagine FDR “solving ww2” by surrendering to japan and the nazis

I know a Ukrainan born US citizen with a significant amount of family still living in Ukraine who is also a Trump supporter. He hates Russia and wants Ukraine to maintain independence. I asked him a couple of weeks ago what he thought would happen to Ukraine if Trump was reelected and he said Ukraine would probably be left to fend for themselves. This statement did not come with remorse or condemnation, it was delivered in the same way you would describe the winner of a sporting event. A simple statement of fact.

I don't know how to respond to that kind of thinking. If the understanding that your vote might lead to the death of your family members doesn't break through the political polarization in this country and make you reconsider then I don't think anything will.

Remember, that Putin has ambitions way beyond Ukraine. He will likely want the EU and NATO to pull out from CEE at minimum, if not those countries to join his empire in some way or another.
