Trump calls Zelenskyy a ‘dictator’ as US rift with Ukraine deepens
-
I don't see how any other single human being could have done a better job at leading and defending Ukraine these last 3 years than Zelensky has. The only reason Russia/Trump is pushing for elections is so Russia can interfe with them.
-
What a cunt.

bad news, truly, this is what i believe from all evidence i've seen, most european nations have no standing armies, and no conventional weapons stockpiles, only uk and france have nukes. europe will begin to cauterize ukraine soon in order to concentrate on their own borders, but their defense spending has been so low, for so long, they couldn't offer a token defense to the russians (not even mentioning the americans) in 10 years, and that's if they started diverting enourmous parts of their gdp currrently going to social services like health care, yesterday

Plus, Elon's really good with those vote counting computers. Maybe he can help.

They have precious minerals they aren't willing to give us. We've done something similar for oil, so your scenario seems realistic.
-
I quite sincerely believe that the long term goal is for the US to formally ally with Russia in a war against the EU.
I'm not kidding.
-
I think you are overestimating Russia. Sure Ukraine has US support, but it’s still a fraction of what fighting all of NATO (minus the US) would look like.
I’m more worried about economic and propaganda warfare. For instance, y’all need to regulate the shit out of engagement-driven, commercial social media before it’s too late.

Didn't he like dictators?
-
ok. best of luck with that. i don't think i'm overstimating russia, or understimated european capability, and more importantly european resolve.
-
I ninja edited, but the point I am trying to make is that if you focus on physical military defense, the US and Russia are going to destroy you in the economic, cyber, and most critically, public opinion space. Demagogues will brainwash everyone without a single shot fired, as they are already doing.

This is more creepy and unsettling than anything i have ever witnessed before in the "world news" ... and i've been around for a while.

But but but. Genocide Joe and I refuse to vote for genocide and draw the line there and anyone who tries to say otherwise is pro-genocide! GENOCIDE!

Wherever you're getting your information from, you should probably look elsewhere.
-
Yes you are.
-
WW3 is probably going to be US/Russia/China vs Europe/Canada/Mexico/Japan?
-
Trump is gonna get those rare earth minerals anyway he can. If Ukraine won't sign them over he'll make a deal with Russia to get them and Ukraine be damned. Licking Putin's butthole is just a bonus.
-
I'm not so sure China will be on their side.
-
If that were true then what have EU countries been sending to Ukraine this entire time? IOUs?
-
Yeah but not officially. Putin is a "strong leader" not a "dictator"
-
Public opinion? Whose? Europe’s, who look down on rampant American capitalism and Trump? Africa’s, who have just been screwed by Trump and Musk? The Middle-East, who have been screwed by America for decades? Asia, who are waiting to hear what China says?
