Oh no…it gets better.

He also lifted sanctions on Russian oil, thus giving money to the country that is sending troops and arms that are fighting against US backed operations in Ukraine, and also supplying Iran with weapons.

If only he could be as sympathetic and intelligent as The Gang.

Or as, you know, powerless

At this point I am not even sure whether Trump wants Ukraine to win.

[–] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 73 points 5 days ago (1 children)

He just wants it to go away. No, I don’t think he wants Ukraine to win at all, he’d hand it all to Putin yesterday if he could. I think there are a few operating braincells in the administration that are preventing him from doing so, whatever the reasons are.

[–] erusuoyera@sh.itjust.works 46 points 5 days ago (2 children)

whatever the reasons are.

The US politicians use taxpayer money to fund the weapons that get sent to Ukraine. The US weapons manufacturers get that money. The US weapons manufacturers pay the US politicians. No great mystery. Not disagreeing with arming Ukraine, just wish it wasn't a necessity.

My tax dollars at work.

Also somehow my tax dollars at work.

[–] encelado748@feddit.org 3 points 4 days ago

Not anymore. Trump stopped founding weapon to Ukraine. All support is from Europe now. Trump is a traitor.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 16 points 5 days ago

Trump does not care who wins beyond how it affects him.

[–] baltakatei@sopuli.xyz 11 points 5 days ago

He wants distractions to keep himself and his loyal family out of prison.

[–] electric_nan@lemmy.ml 7 points 5 days ago

US policy in regards to Ukraine is to bog Russia down. Same thing as when they were fighting in Afghanistan. The longer this conflict goes on, the better for US foreign policy objectives (and weapons manufacturers).

[–] D1re_W0lf@piefed.social 5 points 5 days ago

He never did want Ukraine to win. Either he gets the rare minerals from Ukraine, or he does things in a way to make his BFF Putin owe him one.

[–] RestrictedAccount@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Please point to a time when Trump did anything that didn’t benefit Russia

There’s your answer about whether or not he wants Ukraine to win

US Turns Up the Heat on Indian Imports over Purchases of Russian Oil Increasing Tariffs by 25%

Almost everything Trump does is to Russia's benefit. Sometimes blatantly so. But then once in a while there is a curveball hurting Russia. I am a bit confused, actually.

[–] mrmanager@lemmy.today 3 points 4 days ago

He wants profit and power. I dont think he cares what happens in order for him to get it. The world is just like one of his companies. You fire people, you treat them badly, anything to get what you want from the entire thing.

[–] huppakee@piefed.social 2 points 5 days ago

Wdym at this point? He's been in office for over a year now

It could only be more 1984 if there were no war but the government made up lies, took lives, and wrote articles about it anyway.

[–] MirrorGiraffe@piefed.social 1 points 4 days ago

Anyone been to Iran lately to check? 🤨🤯

Didn’t he swap sides on the Russia/Ukraine war, for a bit?

[–] smeenz@lemmy.nz 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

But then Ukraine went and blew up a bunch of Russian oil processing and storage facilities, effectively stopping russia from being able to sell

So..now there's less oil overall and Iran can charge even more.

I don’t think people realize how fucked we are with the strait closed and refineries being targeted. This isn’t just a dollar or few more at the pump and higher average food costs. There is a real likelihood of energy rationing, temperature death, starvation (at least in poorer countries), and economic depression levels of fucked. This isn’t “buy an EV and you’re good” kind of situation. Goods are going to be unaffordable and solar panels will be nowhere to be found. Refineries take years to rebuild. Trump is raping, pillaging, and bankrupting us for his ego and his insider traders.

[–] AA5B@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

All true, but where are the headlines of Chinese companies setting up second and third shifts to crank out as many as possible solar panels and EVs to take advantage of this? Good for their profits == good for our environment

They won’t be cranking out extra solar panels for anyone but themselves.

[–] jimmy90@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

almost like the only real objective was to help russia and its allies
