For Ukrainians, the Biden-Trump debate was a high stakes affair

KYIV — As U.S. presidential hopefuls Joe Biden and Donald Trump hashed it out on screen, a lot was on the line for us.

Though he may be tired and old, Biden is still more a predictable figure for Ukrainians, as he supports providing aid to Kyiv that helps us stand against the Kremlin.

The glaring question is what to expect from Trump, who treats Russia’s war against us like dispute between two kids that should settle down.

It was a glimmer of hope when Trump called Russian President Vladimir Putin’s ultimatum for Kyiv to give up for regions and disarm as a condition for peace unacceptable.

“This already a sign that he, at least openly, is not a supporter of appeasement of Russia through Ukrainian territorial concessions,” Oleksandr Merezhko,head of the Ukrainian parliament’s foreign relations committee, told POLITICO.

According to Merezhko, Trump may still have illusions that the Russian invasion can be stopped through an agreement with Putin.

I bet Putin stayed up late to watch it.

"For Ukrainians Zelensky, the Biden-Trump debate was a high stakes affair

I was so wishing Trump was responding with, “The best way to undermine Russia is to go back to being energy producers and giving the world and ourselves someone else to buy energy from besides Russia. But this corpse to my left got us out of the energy dominating position we were in. So now the world pays for Russia’s war costs.”

I wonder if Zelensky rechecked the contents of his bugout bag after the debate?

So now the world pays for Russia’s war costs.

Drill for oil in USA plus work with the Saudis to encourage them to drill more oil in their country, Putin will not have any $$$ to fund his war machine.

Now MBS knows that even though he personally likes Trump, due to American politics, he's not going to get along with the next President. So the Saudis were forced to redirect themselves so they won't have to depend on the Americans (who are ****ards).

Democrats and Republicans who care more about foreign countries and their issues, will pay a price for neglecting domestic issues that are important to Americans.

The global interventionists who are foreign policy frauds & arsonists had a “rough night” on Thursday.😀

They’ll be fighting ‘uphill’ for the next decade, as people tune them out.

Well, lessee. If you had not gone back on the Minsk agreement wherein you swore to honor the electorate decisions of the citizens of Donbas — there would be no war.

Like Hamas, you stupidly decided to start a war.

All to preserve Ukraine’s main “industries”; money laundering and sex trafficking.

Good observation, the Minsk Agreement, which Ukraine violated.Trumps Peace deal is totally in line with it, much to the terror of the Ukie Nazis and US war cheerleaders.
