You'd think a real estate mogul of all things would understand the value of land even with damaged property. Almost like he's sympathetic to Russia or something.

I wish someone would demolish his shit spewing face.

“If they made a bad deal it would’ve been much better. They would’ve given up a little bit and everybody would be living and every building would be built and every tower would be aging for another 2,000 years.”

Just a little appeasement, what would go wrong. Of course I can believe he's fully unaware that Ukraine tried that twice already in the Minsk agreements.

Yeah, we should make him president...see what happens. He's angry, just a little appeasement would help. We just gave up a good century of women's rights and LGBTQ rights. We could start slavery again to hopefully have a good country again 🙏. What could go wrong. Right?

I am flabbergasted. Who would have thought that a man with decades long ties to Russia, who's met with and spoke highly of Putin, who had russian spies crawling all over his first presidential campaign, who's backed by russian oligarch money, would say such a silly thing about Ukraine.

They're planning an offensive that has moscow scared enough they are rattling their nuclear sabers. Seems like a poorly thought out move for a "destroyed" country and that their hegemonic buddies would advise them against rather than helping them tool up for the fight.

Saw this just after reading the post about Russia knocking out Ukrainian citizens' ability to heat their homes this winter.

Any tankies wanna weigh in on why this is acceptable?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 23 hours ago

Russia good, West bad. No further thought required.

It's making big sense lately why tankies LOVE trump so much.

He supports their favorite dictators very well.

Concerning whatever this felon awaiting sentencing might say, recall that the opposite is true.

Slava Ukraini!

I wish someone would demolish his old fascist ass.

I WONDER WHY ITS DEMOLISHED, MAN IF ONLY WE KNEW.

jokes aside, this is to be expected from trump, nothing less from him is expected.

[–] werefreeatlast 1 points 1 day ago

Who knew! If you think about it 🤔😜!

Trump more and more desperate for those Russian funds. Probably gets $1 million for each Ukraine/Zelensky diss.

And he'll still get up in front of Americans and claim he's not taking the side of the most belligerent enemy of democracy on this planet.
