It just seems too obvious to me that this is the intentional sabotage by the Trump administration on behalf of at least Russia. None of this makes sense whatsoever. Not even if you’re a stock market businessman who doesn’t care about allies.

It literally only makes sense in the purview of relative strength gain of Russia; maybe China too.

Putin’s bidding to fracture the deepest alliances of the West under utterly bullshit pretenses.

Just imagine if Trump was in the White House in 2022. Biden’s intelligence warned Zelenskyy of the amassing troops and the impending invasion which may have bought his country time to redeploy forces and static defenses enough to thwart the entire attack. In fact it’s quite possible the Russian plan to seize Hostomel Airport was passed on to Ukraine as well.

Good. The rest of our traditional allies must remain united and in lockstep with Ukraine.

Trump under the direction of Putin is clearly attempting to fracture the Western alliances in order to gain relative strength. It seems most of these countries recognize the game being played and aren’t taking the bait thankfully.

I’ll feel much better if Canadian elections go well.

Trump is looking for his new Epstein. Remember, he partied with both Epstein and Maxwell, flying over half a dozen times on Epstein’s private plane, “The Lolita Express.”

Like with anything the GOP accuses Dems of, the sex trafficking ring was projection.

I know the results of Germany are something of a mixed bag but at least they managed to hold the line. It will give me a good bit of hope if we see Canada at least manage the same. We’ll need all the stability we can get for these next years…

Hahaha ladies and gentlemen, bystander audience… There it is. My case in point.

Checkmate.

I think it’s a pretty high bar to say that 2 genocides > 1 genocide and Option 2 was more persuadable than Option 1.

But I’ll be sure to relay to Ukrainians that you believe, by extension, that they’re not noteworthy at all.

Well all I know is that now we’re going full-throttle on not one but 2 genocides, including the one in Ukraine with even less of a chance to dissuade this administration than the previous on either so… Overall I’d call them, better.

Do you know why Biden had a complete falling out with Bibi and why Bibi was quite clearly going behind Biden and supporting Trump’s reelection? Do you know why Biden and Harris had no good choices when it came to Israel/Palestine ahead of the election?

If you want to know why people elected Trump not once but twice, I’d start with the Citizen’s United decision and the complete stranglehold right wing media has in controlling the national narrative in this country. That’s a hint to the last question as well.

Euro-Maga, basically…

Fuck propaganda has done a number on these people, exploiting their anger by pointing it to the wrong people.

and online “reaction” are never representing on the ground situation.

Unironically saying this as online reaction such as this, absent of any evidence or being on the ground themselves.

Fleeing from conscription is common across all wars, no matter how just. Russia has massive problems with people fleeing. Anyways, that’s not really what the article was discussing.

It actually is pretty black-and-white in terms of who is fighting a just war, and who is fighting a war more akin to Hitler’s invasion of Poland.

Pre-2014 borders, correct?

And what reputable source do you have to suggest that “almost half” of all arms that the US sent lined the “pockets of the leader class”?

Hmm… No Iran? No China? No Russia? No Saudi Arabia?

How convenient. Almost like Putin picked these to fracture western alliances or something…

Here’s hoping Europe continues to step up on behalf of Ukraine.

Fuck I am naively hoping elections in Germany and Canada go well…

Right I wouldn’t trust opening an RT link. Kremlin-run trash.

That’s 13.8 miles per hour. Faster than my commercial treadmill can go. I’ve run a half marathon and mostly focus on 5ks and I even hobby runners won’t be able to sustain 13.8 mph for much more than a minute let alone 57…

Insane!

Surely this will bring great stabilization to the region and totally not become fertile ground for radicalization for decades to come…

… Right?

German be like that with verb kickers.

What am I going to do with the object!? Tellllll me!!

Not only that, that’s not the first time he’s done that. He’s had practice.
