Putin will make Russia into what China was under Mao. A pariah nation with few trading partners.
Putin could’ve made Europe totally dependent on Russian energy and at one point, Germany was sucking up to Russia. No rapprochement with the west for Russia for decades. They have to look to China for trade and sustenance. They’ll only be a junior partner and who knows if China will bite off some of Siberia.

Sometimes it’s best to keep your mouth shut. The transcript of these comments makes Trump sound retarded.

What’s with this spamming of dozens of pro ukrainian threads everyday...

and the push by a lot of pro ukraine/zelensky and anti Trump posters saying if you don’t support giving the U.S. military inventory and getting 100’s of billions further in debt, in order to fund zelensky’s life style

you aren’t a Trump supporter...

My comment.... ^@$!(*# zelensky, defund ukraine and let them be funded by the EU..... it isn’t the U.S.’s problem anymore.

And Trump would understand, because he’s also America First...

unlike the zelensky/ukraine supporters...

I’m going to state it bluntly:

POTUS has reverted to cranial/sphincter inversion, as have all who are supporting this new enthusiasm to support ukes, demonize Russia and blaze a dangerous trajectory not unprecedented in history.

The rhetorical question is ‘why?’...

Putin could’ve made Europe totally dependent on Russian energy and at one point, Germany was sucking up to Russia.

In 2021, Russia was on the verge of complete political and economic control of Germany, and by blocking pipelines from the middle east, had made much of Europe dependent on them for energy. NATO was dying on the vine, its military spending in a 3 decade decline. A quick, decisive war with Ukraine probably would have caused the collapse of NATO, and returned Russia to Great Power status. With a leadership vacuum in the White House, it was an incredible opportunity that Putin couldn't pass up. He just underestimated Ukraine's ability and willingness to fight. Trump warned them during his first term to break their energy dependence and spend on defense. They didn't listen, even after the first invasion/occupation/annexation in 2014. Weakness invites aggression. Si vis pacem, para bellum.

Tell your momz to tell you to tell Tucker to tell The Putin to tell Melania to tell Trump to tell Khamenei to tell Netanyahu to tell Macron to tell Starmer to tell Kaja Kallas to tell Friedrich Merz to tell Lukashenko to tell Ursula von der Leyen to tell Little Zee to surrender.
