Trump would just cut support for Ukraine so they have to surrender.

I was gonna say, trump's 'solution' would likely be "here me putin sir, have everything you desire"

[–] MicroWave 19 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Hah

Zelenskyy, asked about that assertion, was himself diplomatic, saying the "desire to bring the war to an end is beautiful." But, he added, "This desire should be based on some real-life experience."

Nothing like a current president’s sick burn on a former president. XD

[–] Ech 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

A former president that tried to blackmail them into digging up dirt on his opposition by denying military support. That Zelenskyy is still kind in his words about Trump at all is a testament to his character.

my brain can't comprehend that Trump ran a country for 4 years.. it must have been complete chaos behind the closed doors

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago

In front of them too

[–] Ech 6 points 1 year ago

"Ran" is a strong word.

[–] FlyingSquid 1 points 1 year ago

According to everyone's memoirs coming out now, it was. And, of course, all of those bastards are complicit in it, but now they're making bank with their books. There is no justice.

[–] Vaggumon 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I actually think he could.

By sending in The US military to aid Putin, and fully destroy Ukraine.

[–] InverseParallax 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Nah, he'd just bomb kyiv, other major cities until Zelensky surrendered to spare his people.

Probably could do it in a day, then would say Zelensky was weak for giving up which is why he deserved to lose to a winner like Trump.

[–] Vaggumon 2 points 1 year ago

Yes, that what I was saying. Trump would "end" the war by helping Putin win.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

If Trump were involved I don’t think Ukraine would like what the “end of the war” looks like.

[–] Hildegarde 6 points 1 year ago

Nearly all wars could be ended immediately if one side decided to spontaneously abandon all of their interests.

Any conflict that could be ended by all involved parties agreeing to something they are content with agreeing to, is the sort of conflict that doesn't escillate into a war.

There are no simple solutions.
