The US is working to a quick timetable to push through the deal, which appears to heavily reflect many of Moscow's demands.

Putin is threatening to release the blow job pictures, many people are saying it

[–] BrokenGlepnir@lemmy.world 23 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Really the question is why? I feel like a good end is better than just a quick end. Obviously the answer is, that for many reasons, this asshole believes a quick end will get him the best end for his perspective.

100%. Ukraine would be stupid to sign this, unless their military situation is truly desperate. The basic treaty is Russia gets no more penalties, they keep everything they captured, Ukraine never joins NATO, Ukraine's military is limited to 600k people, and there's no concrete guarantee against further Russian aggression on any other country. And if Russia goes after after Ukraine again in a few years when they rearm, they don't seem to be any hard guarantees for Ukrainian security.

As an American I have no idea WTF our president is thinking. Russia has stated ambitions to reconquer former USSR territory, Ukraine steps up to fight and die to stop it and all they need is ammunition which is the bargain of the fucking century for the rest of the world. Meanwhile we have this golden goose opportunity against Russia and our priority seems to be let's cook it as quickly as possible.

He's a traitor working for Putin. How is that anything less than perfectly obvious, at this point?

[–] Freefall@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

He is a sociopathic narcissist working for himself, and Pootie just has dirt on him.

[–] grue@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

Nah, that implies he's only betraying us because he's being coerced and would do right otherwise. Trump is too much of a fanboi of Putin for me to buy that.

[–] SirEDCaLot@lemmy.today 0 points 3 months ago

My take is that he's only working for himself. Across both terms, he has a track record of rewarding personal loyalty and looking out for his own interests above most else.

I'm sorry, did I miss something? It's not the US who are at war with Russia, so why does their opinion on what Ukraine should do matter? If you're not going to help, feel free to fuck off.

[–] Etnaphele@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

If it would be so easy… the hard reality is that Ukraine needs US support and Europe is not enough (due to economic challenges and internal disagreements). We are at the mercy of the government of a very rich country with a global military infrastructure that was our most important ally, but now betrayed any long standing commitment because they went crazy (+russian venom worked well with the thin witted US population)

[–] Flamekebab@piefed.social 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

My point was more in relation to the US acting like it's their role to tell you what to do. The arrogance is astounding.

[–] Etnaphele@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Yes I get it and agree: they are in a position where they can bully others the way they are doing. It’s not their role but they can because they have leverage. It’s a one bullet thing, though: burning these many bridges will collapse their global presence in the long run. But for now, they act and do as they wish, because old allies still need them direly.

Somebody should remind Trump of how many Nobel Peace Prizes Neville Chamberlain has.

[–] Worx@lemmynsfw.com 5 points 3 months ago

Wait, I thought that war ended literally the day after Trump was in power? /s

[–] _Nico198X_@europe.pub 4 points 3 months ago

if he's so impatient, why doesn't he help? this could all be over very fast then.

[–] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 4 points 3 months ago

Adderall-brain says what? I worry he's got attention concerns after all those horrible rumours of unchecked substance abuse. I've heard him speak and it doesn't refute that assertion.

[–] Freefall@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

Ukraine is working on ending it, it should be ending soon. Lol 🇺🇦🫡

Trump doesn't know what day it is.
