Summary

Donald Trump sharply criticized Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, calling him a “dictator” and accusing him of corruption, aligning his rhetoric with Russia’s stance.

His remarks followed a phone call with Vladimir Putin and reflect his long-standing skepticism of US support for Ukraine.

Trump’s “America First” policy prioritizes reducing aid to Kyiv while shifting focus to China.

While some Republicans voiced concerns, Trump is wielding total authority over his party.

      They’re not going to do anything until the public starts it. The Military isn’t going to swoop in and save The civvies from the inconvenience. Civillians are going to have to start it, then, they back us, if they will. That’s the time.

      The military has to be called in to gun us down and refuse.

            But more to the point, he is trying to shred the Constitution via executive order. That’s a pretty clear threat to the Constitution

          The most amazing(ly vile) one is using the tendency of our minds to skip over “the the” as if it’s an IQ test.

          Well that and the whole idea of using this stupid collection of badly worded instructions to “determine” a human’s worthiness.

          “Determine” with the assistance of that family guy “OKAY / NOT OKAY” card.

            Oh you sweet, summer child. Read the instructions:

            “Do what you are told to do in each statement, nothing more, nothing less.”

            If you try to explain, you already failed.


            Also, by the way, this is the grading rubric:

                Because they’re racist and you’re black.

                That’s it, that’s the real, whole reason. This test was actually used, back in 1964 in Louisiana. This is how black people were disenfranchised.

                The test was given to uneducated people, and they had to pass it to be allowed to vote.
                The test was worded ambiguously on purpose, so the people grading it could decide who gets to pass.
                The people grading it were election officials in Louisiana.

                You can guess what skin color they had, and what skin color the people who usually “failed” the test had.

              Even attempting to explain violates the instructions and is thus an insta-fail. Clearly, you do not understand what “nothing more, nothing less” means and are therefore illiterate and ineligible to vote, according to this test.

        putin’s ultimate goal is to rebuild old USSR borders and control the whole Europe and Asia, he is not hiding it.

        trump doesn’t seem to have a problem with that and whatever he is getting from putin in return he thinks it is worth it.

        Meanwhile musk, Vance and others are trying convert US into technofeudalism[1] and eventually get rid of trump one they succeed (trump likely was convinced by them that it is for his own benefit).

        [1] this is what Bannon is upset about

        Yes, it’s mostly Putins goal, he knows the US will be too busy internally/incompetent to mean anything on a world stage so Russia takes the lead.

        Musk is a firm believer of being part of the destruction of the world and desires to be on the forefront of reshaping it… For him it’s all good 'till the restructuring begins.

        So the path to world war has been firmly set in motion:

        Trump fully destroys the US’ international influence by dismantling the NATO and UN memberships, closing bases on foreign soil and discarding its external intelligence machine.

        Ukraine will not want to be conquered and can make its own nukes, will be a huge pain for Russia.

        Russia will attempt to take back eastern Europe, first through (political)chaos then by force, like it has done times and times again in the past.

        Iran will see the US kneeling before Russia and openly attacks Israel with all it has, the US will try to call on the Arab states to intervene, but it would be in the name of Israel which… yeah is a bit awkward…

        India and Japan will declare neutrality, Japan closes itself off from the world as in the olden days, and India has a few worms to pick with Pakistan…

        Afrika is a tribal bloodbath on it’s own and no party in this.

        China will feel legitimized in taking Taiwan and perhaps all of Korea, which destroys the Wests supply of silicon. Causing a tipping point into all out war over the whole globe…

      Chump wants his name on something. Anything.

      A geographical “monument” to him. Something that says forever “Chump was here and did that”.

      Started with buildings, moved to a border wall, then Rushmore, and now he’s looking on a global scale… Panama, Greenland, Gulf, etc.

      And he’s willing to give/do anything to get it. Likely including WW3. That’d be something to point to.

      Also why he’s aligning with Putain’s goal to recreate USSR, and Xi’s goal of absorbing Taiwan. Makes the Little Toddler Idiot feel like he has influence on a global scale that will be viewed with awe by all who gaze upon it in perpetuity.

      Much more likely those viewers will point to any such changes with absolute derision and laughter.

      I believe he is beholden to him by way of blackmail. Remember the Steele Dossier.

      Steele was first to warn that Russia was mounting a covert operation to elect Donald Trump. Fusion GPS – his partners in Washington DC – have called this the dossier’s ‘foundational initial assertion’ and it was correct. Much later, the Mueller inquiry would state that ‘the Russian government perceived it would benefit from a Trump presidency and worked to secure that outcome.’ Steele wrote about what was happening as early as June 2016…The US intelligence agencies…did not publish their findings until December 2016, too late to prevent the effort to influence the election.
