“We begin bombing in five minutes.”
There goes the pre-election pledge to not get the country entangled in “foreign affairs” and “never-ending wars”. Combined with his reversal on providing funds and weapons to the thieving grifter in Ukraine, then exempting illegal aliens who work in agriculture and the medical field from deportation, we are doing just fine. Oh. forgot, at least we get to see the latest Manolo Blahnik footwear styles when AG Blondi hits the TV news shows. That is, if the camera pans low enough. At two thousand bucks a pair, your tax dollars at work.
You’re relentless in your bloodlust. Nothing will satiate. May humanity finally awaken to and resist your kind. Many may be spared an early and futile death.
De minimus, you do know that we have a FReepathon going on now. Or are you simply 100% OTHER-PEOPLE’S-MONEY neocon?
Could it be that he backs Senate uniparty sanctions bill sponsored by the two biggest snakes in the senate, Graham and Blumenthal?
If so, Trump is on a roll.
And it is accelerating as it’s all downhill.
Ukraine has been sold to Russia for $1 Ruble.
Better to just tell them both we’re out so they’re on their own.
Tell Putin to leave Ukraine.
I see your critical of Trump and potential further involvement in the Ukraine war. It’s a war that the US, under Obama, got entangled in. The media, parroting the ‘deep state’ and the Democrats profiteering accelerated. Biden, in his infinite wisdom made it worse. This has been a stupid war with stupid prizes from day one, and while Trump holds most of the cards for supplying little Z, Vlad the Invader has his own ideas about recreating the Soviet Empire.
My question is simple, what would you advise to do differently than Trump? I think in possibilities.
Option #1. You can let Vlad profit from yet another war of conflict, and leave entirely. More likely than not this will trigger a European conflict, and essentially WWIII, dooming billions. The US will be committed to fighting a maximum event, likely going nuclear, against the Russians and probably a two front war with the Chinese. Probably end thermonuclear.
Option #2. You can get more involved in Ukraine, using American troops on the ground, or EU troops, likely with the same effect as number one when the Russians become desperate, which they will. Probably ends thermonuclear.
Option #3. Keep the war going and bleed the Russian economy and war machine until THEY decide to pull out. Hoping of course that the Chinese don’t see an ‘in’ to taking most of Siberia and Russia because of the weak state of Russia. Then China world dominate power, with guarantees aggression against US Allies. Probably ends Thermonuclear.
Option #4.Same as number three, except attempt to get Putin to the table quicker to end the war before Russia is completely unstable and vulnerable. De-escalate with Russia, and attempt to quit antagonizing them. Maybe figure out a way to bring them in closer.
Since I have limited imagination about such things, I would like to explore other options than I have listed. Since you’re critical of Trump, and he appears to be taking option #4, I would appreciate your insight as to better options. For that matter anyone on these boards who has a better plan than #4.
As a Trump supporter I always look forward to his announcements.
Where is the story that Putin wants a phone call?
Trump doesn’t want to fight with Putin. He wants to work with Russia.
I doubt it’s possible because Putin does not share a positive world view.
As has been noted before China imports about 12 million barrels/day and India 4.5 million barrels/day. Both countries have domestic oil production, but far under their consumption.
The world as a whole is listed with oil production of 99.x million barrels/day and oil consumption of 101 million bpd. The differential is generally oil enroute (and thus drawing the storage of what is on tankers).
BUT THE OVERALL POINT IS — India and China must have oil. It’s not discretionary. Food doesn’t move to grocery store shelves without oil. Given that overall world production and consumption profile . . . if they are getting it from Russia there is nowhere else for them to get it.
OPEC+ has announced increases in production (note Russia is a major part of OPEC+) but only a few hundred K bpd. India and China’s oil deficit is MILLIONS of bpd.
You cannot sanction countries and tell them you require them to starve their population. What country would allow that? If products can’t sell to the US, that would be an impact on their economy. Having the population die of starvation is rather a larger impact.
Let the people living in the oblasts decide. Stop the press ganging and forced conscription. Too many mother’s sons have already been sacrificed for the globalist’s game. Time to put some sunlight on these goblins.
” we’ll see what happens over the next couple of weeks.”
How many times have we heard that before.
Don’t trust Trump? There’s always Elon.
The population of the disputed oblasts have repeatedly chosen Russia. Allow them the right to self determination. Saying that Europe is next is a non sequitur. Plain scare mongering and propaganda that no one really believes. Stop the proxy war and move onto peace and prosperity for all parties. Trump seems to instinctively understand this.
Tell your mom to tell you to tell Tucker to tell The Putin 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.
Oh no. Far more than that. It was a planned confrontation / regime-change operation against Russia.
The Trump "Russia-gate" fraud taught us that.
Remember, everyone in DC expected Hillary to be elected and that the Steele "Dossier" would simply be accepted as fact. Half of that deep-state fraud was to tar Trump. The other half was to promote the narrative that Russia was an enemy, working against the USA at the highest levels.
The deep-state knew and planned this proxy war
