Aside from Trump, you must be the dumbest person in any room if you think rewarding Russia for invading Ukraine is a good move. History has shown those of us who know it that imperialist conquest must be met with all kinds of forceful opposition.
It was already a mistake for the world (including the US under Obama) for not pushing back hard when Russia took Crimea, and it would be an even bigger one to let them take another huge slice of Ukraine today.
Ukraine has paid their fair share in this war--they have paid with the blood of their people. But dumbfuck Trump is so desperate to give his "buddy" Putin a win here, and to join in the shakedown of Ukraine for "mineral rights" that wont mean fuck all when Russia continues his campaign and takes the rest of the country. Like seriously, what fucking good will all those minerals be worth when they end up within Russia's borders?
It's the dumbest plan of all time, it's a shakedown of a nation that has already been invaded, and if we give up on Ukraine it will ultimately lead to a broader war that Europe and USA will have to fight themselves, because there will be no Ukrainians left to fight on our behalf.
This is the darkest moment in American geopolitical history. We can't even pretend to be a country of values or valor anymore. We're a pathetic country of greedy short-sighted cowards in ill-fitting business suits and we are inviting the war to us.
