Summary

Donald Trump is reportedly frustrated with the ongoing aerial strikes between Russia and Ukraine, despite his efforts to broker peace.

After recent talks with both leaders, Russia claimed a 30-day pause on energy infrastructure strikes, but Ukraine accused Russia of continuing civilian attacks.

Heavy attacks continue, with recent Russian strikes killing four and injuring 13 in Ukraine. Ukraine has also reportedly launched strikes against Russian infrastructure, which Russia claims caused significant damage.

A proposed broader ceasefire faltered over Russian demands to halt foreign military support for Ukraine.

If only someone had told him that Putin doesn't negotiate in good faith.

Oh wait, that's precisely what Zelensky was trying to fucking say before the idiot of a VP that Trump has started dicking around in front of the cameras.

Getting a taste of his own medicine is he?

Ah well, maybe he'll learn someth... lol

I couldn't even finish the thought without laughing.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 days ago

He doesn’t caaaaaarrreeee!

I guarantee you someone asked how he felt of random subject. He parses the answer by how it effects him and wraps it in the same bull shit he has always said.

[–] [email protected] 31 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Aaaaaaall of this is just misdirection.

He doesn't care about Ukraine or Russia, even Greenland or Panama.

Trump is there to dismantle the American government for his billionaire buddies. That is the job they hired him to do.

Elon Musk and Peter Thiel very openly subscribed to Curtis Yarvins world view, and he very openly describes how to dismantle government, and now they are doing it.

That is what the Heritage Foundation and project2025 is all about. You can track their progress here www.project2025.observer

There’s a high chance Greenland is a part of that. I think one of those billionaires (whichever one founded Praxis) asked Trump to buy Greenland so he can terraform it and set up his country there. There is a source for it somewhere at www.theplotagainstamerica.com

He'll pretend to be angry and then just give Putin what he wants.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago

probably want ukraine to stop defending themselves and allow russia to just seize the whole of ukraine , it's a shame where america is , they are the same as the russians.

Boss baby playing government

Edit: the people that take this asshole at his word and seriously are the same chode jugglers who nod continuously at every company all-hands

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Trump finally starting to realize Putin has no respect for them and their relationship is far more onesided than he ever feared it might be.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 days ago

He isn't realising shit.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 days ago

No no bro its all Zelenskys fault /s

[–] [email protected] 36 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (2 children)

It’s astounding that he honestly believed he could end the war in 24 hours. He’s really that stupid.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago

No, that helped him get elected, he didnt have to believe it, same as everything he does

[–] [email protected] 14 points 3 days ago

This is guy who said "who knew health care could be so complicated?". We're still waiting on that health care plan, Donnie!

He wants a Nobel Peace prize, because Obama has one…

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago

Trump never got over the 2011 correspondence dinner where he made fun of trump

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 days ago (1 children)

To be fair, I'm not sure what Obama did to deserve this...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

Afaik big part of the prize is to actually encourage peace. If you're given the prize for "best potato peeler in the world" you'll probably peel more potatoes or train people and promote potato peeling in general.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

By that logic, the only behaviour they encouraged was "talking about peace" because that's all that Obama did to get the prize.

Politicians will talk about everything and anything without actually meaning it, so that's about the lowest value behaviour you can think of promoting.

Surely in that specific year there were more worthy behaviours for the Nobel Comitee to want to encourage than merely "talk about peace".

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago

Hey I'm not defending thus just pointing out what they claim part the reasoning is for these award decisions.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 3 days ago

He's mad that he doesn't hold all the cards after making a pikachu face when putin attack after saying he aint gonna attack.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 3 days ago

Cuz Donnie is a lying bitch and he is way out of his element here.

[–] [email protected] 47 points 4 days ago

We really need to stop calling it "brokering peace". Trump just wants Ukraine to give Putin what he wants.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I don't get why he cares.

Does he just want to have Ukraine publicly thank him?

Or did he promise the minerals from Ukraine to Elon?

[–] [email protected] 17 points 4 days ago (1 children)

He's a dumb narcissist. He wants to be loved and respected and most likely genuinely thinks he's some sort of king of world who will fix everything.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago

After the The Atlantic breach it's clear they view themselves as the world police.

The user identified as Hegseth responded three minutes later: “VP: I fully share your loathing of European free-loading. It’s PATHETIC. But Mike is correct, we are the only ones on the planet (on our side of the ledger) who can do this. Nobody else even close.

[–] [email protected] 33 points 4 days ago (3 children)

Maybe he'll get so angry he'll have an aneurysm and die? There's not many people whose death would undoubtably improve the world, but he's one of them.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

There's an old Soviet joke; a man goes to the newspaper stand everyday picks up a paper reads the headlines on the front page and leaves. This happens for a few weeks then finally the salesman asks, "Comrade, why do you only read the front page?" The guy says, "I'm just looking for an obituary." The salesman says, "Those are in the back of the newspaper." "Not the one I'm looking for."

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 days ago

I’m hoping he’ll finally get angry at Putin and put actual American troops on the ground

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 days ago

People have been wondering that about every "Trump furious" story for the last 10 years or so.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 days ago

Good. Collapse already.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Maybe he should tariff both countries - that’s always the answer 🙄 What did you think if you have an idiot-in-chief 🤔

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 days ago

Clearly Ukraine needs to set a tariff on Russian missiles and drones.
