He'd give up on Ukraine. And call it a win.

Yeah pretty much.

Aka appeasement. We tried it Donny. Though this time it's Trump who wants to be dictator.

The Jews would have had peace if they'd just let themselves be taken to camps peacefully.

This is less funny because Russia literally did commit a holocaust in Ukraine.

He didn’t answer a single fucking question about anything, just ranted about illegals eating pets the whole time.

[–] [email protected] 71 points 1 month ago (1 children)

He is outing gop for eating pets. He just needs to do it under the radar.

Remember every blame the throw around is admission on their part.

It was obvious as hell that he wants Russia to win.

All we have to do is make him president elect! We don’t even have to inaugurate him!

This stood out to me. Do we know of anyone who Trump might be worried about upsetting if he said he wanted Ukraine to win? Anyone at all?

That question is awkwardly worded, why are you putin it that way?

What is confusing to me is why would it matter to Putin if Trump lied here? The Russian mode of government is lying and deception after all.

Does he actually think that his voters want Ukraine to lose? Oh fuck, do his voters actually want Ukraine to lose?

They've been listening to the Russian trolls and bots.

This needs to be very widely publicized.

[–] [email protected] 71 points 1 month ago (3 children)

It was a presidential debate. It was fairly publicized.

[–] taiyang 85 points 1 month ago (3 children)

I think maybe they mean... Like, not washed out by the other 90 minutes of crazy shit he was saying.

I feel like when Harris said that Putin would be sitting in Kyiv, Trump didn't understand. "Why would he be in Kyiv, Putin would be at home, happier of course" because he's taking it literally like a fucking idiot.

And yes, Trump, of course Putin would be happier with you in charge when he invaded. The Biden administration gave crucial Intel in the months leading up to the invasion and military support. Harris 100% deserves props for being involved in that.

He also still refused to admit he lost four years ago, and admit any fault or regret for Jan 6th. And he showed zero remorse or awareness about the Central Park Five. Pure deflection for every single question.

[–] cabron_offsets 79 points 1 month ago (6 children)

His boss sure as shit doesn’t want Ukraine to win.

He knows he can't say Russia but he doesn't want Ukraine to win so he does this.

[–] ChickenLadyLovesLife 36 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I don't know why he can't say Russia. It's the obvious truth, his swallowers - sorry, his followers - would lap it up no matter what, and it's no more or less insane than anything else he says.

Not only this, but they rephrased the question asking if he thought it would be in America's best interest to win the war and he declined to answer again...

[–] [email protected] 52 points 1 month ago (6 children)

I found it interesting that Trump claims if he wins the election, he'll have the Russia / Ukraine conflict resolved BEFORE he even takes office. I'm paraphrasing there, but that's how I interpreted what he stated.

If that's the case, then it seems like he could choose to end the conflict at any time. Why doesn't he just end it now? Save countless lives. Minimize injuries. Prevent suffering. Save money. I'm sure that'd change some voters' minds if he did it. Might even win him the election.

Yes, this is a rhetorical question. I have no doubt that he can't actually end it without basically giving in entirely to Russia.

Putler is betting on trump to win. If Harris wins, it's over for him.

So much conservative talking points about Kamala is pro-genocide with no evidence.

Like motherfucker, your main boy has zero plans and has a history of flying by the seat of his pants and having Americans killed.
