Russia-Ukraine War (continuing)

During his first term he never tried to reach out to all citizens, but instead continued to hold rallies with his faithful cultists.

I bet when the Capital riots were happening his lizard brain was thinking if he got another shot he'd have enough true believers to overthrow democracy and install himself and his descendants as defacto royalty.

And he lost his next election as a result

The campaigning for midterms are about to start

Interestingly his team spelled out what they are most worried about this week in Munich, they are worried about US tech and social media companies being either more regulated and or banned, they are worried about their meddling and support of far right parties being over ruled in courts

Europe can directly put pressure on those fears of the MAGA far right, threathen blanket ban of X (they can’t even claim to be freedom of speech as X banned signal, and MAGA busy banning books)

Sow doubt about Tesla

Start “reviewing” contracts with US companies

Open up investigations into funding of far right and far left parties

Yet again Trump and co are clowns they can be dealt with easily unlike Putin who has tight control in Russia, something Trump does not yet have in US (tho he is trying to dismantle the republic)

US under Trump wants access to European markets without regulations, or having to support their allies

Screw him, look how quickly he folded to Putin, the clown is not a master negotiator he thinks, he got this far by not “playing by the rules” well deal with him in same manner, throw away rule book and tie him up in so much bullshit that he regrets the day the good idea fairy visited him and whispered that he should side with Putin

I can imagine for a lot of people especially those who grew up in drab economically depressed Ireland the USA was the promised land to escape to. We greedily absorbed their TV and movie culture, adopted attitudes, and even reflected those absorbed influences back unto them with the likes of U2.

We're seeing in Trump the cult of radical individualism eat itself. Self interest always.

i think musk owns donnie vonshitzinpants,to me it looks like musk bought the presidency…and putin has donnie by the nappy…and to my mind it looks like donnie and putin want to divide up Ukraine between themselves…all this talk of negotiations,the only negotiation should be to tell putin to feck off back across the border, then,maybe we'll talk…

Given the fact that Trump and his administration lies on a constant basis, I'm pretty confident this isn't based on some special file he knows about. But of course you're favouring the narrative because it suits you.

Any evidence to back up this claim, if true other sources would have confirmed

It's just unfathomably crazy.

MAGA heads want a strongman leader, yet here's the very strongman leader they all fawn over surrending to their historical arch enemy and rival.

There must be unseen before levels of congnitative dissonance going on in their minds.

Botster will stop extolling the value of summits between great men deciding the world order, and the wonders of Putin-Trump peace + diplomacy bringing an end to war in Ukraine.

We'll have the code-switch back to the (more honest) military botster ("Cower before the Bear" mode).

i.e.…weak and woke europeans trembling before Putin's mighty "Oreshniks" flying overhead, and waves of goose stepping super soldiers etc. Probably need a bingo card for it.

Yes, I've thought this for the last week or two. If you're in the UK or Europe and on board the Trump-Musk-Putin train, can you really call yourself a 'nationalist' or a 'patriot' at all? All this craziness and chaos must be doing damage to the right wing populist movement.

Imagine now being a European Trump fan and trying to explain why Putin should be allowed to invade whoever he wants in Europe.

Trump effectively severed the transatlantic alliance.

But now they have to explain which part of their respective countries should be given to Putin.

simples. They will deny they ever said anything. It’s always been like that and works fine with vas brainless population in Naziland. They said “Kiev in 3 days”. Three years later they claim they never said it. When presented with millions of facts, they still deny. Deny and lie is part of ruSSian culture (I mean they have no culture to start with, but anyway). Tupin was asked on TV a while ago what would he suggest as a best thing for future generations. He answered “to lie”. This is also what the handful of vatnik posters constantly do on this thread - spread lies

As recently as the previous page @Sand slipped up and called Europe “vassals of US”

Years of carefully crafted Russian propaganda narratives being undone by Trump overnight
