US President Donald Trump says Russia has made a "pretty big concession" to end the war in Ukraine by stopping short of taking the "whole country."

It was very kindhearted of Putin to not meet his military objectives in the planned two weeks, instead extending the war for three years, in order to make it a more fair contest for Ukraine.

There, am I doing stooge-speak right?

Its been so painfully obvious this man's been Putin's bitch since 2016, there's a reason people were suspecting Russia interfered with that election, his supporters denied it, and now that he's openly supporting all of his asslickers showing support as well and following their herd like the good obedient sheep they are.

He's been Russia's bitch since at least 1987.

By the same logic democrats have made a big concession and a favour to you by not winning the elections

[–] [email protected] 28 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Funny way of saying they tried and failed.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 days ago

Something something 2 week special operation.

Its not a concession. They tried. they came very close to accomplishing their goal. But because of the outcomes of the battles of Irpin, Bucha, Hostomel Airport, and one of the most critical battles of the entire war, Moschun, Russia was defeated and lost their opportunity to quickly topple the government.

In short. They didnt concede. They got their asses handed to them. And played it off as an act of mercy when they ran away with their tails between their legs.

And now Putin is trying to win through "peace" negotiations what he failed to achieve through war. But if Europe and Ukraine refuse Trump's extortion, Putin is going to suffer defenstraphobia for the (hopefully short and miserable) remainder of his life.

Anybody but Trump would have died of shame long ago.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 4 days ago (1 children)

That’s a world I’d like to live in. Where asshole grifters could just die of shame. No more grifters.

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

Problem is, if they could feel shame they wouldn't be asshole grifters.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago

What you describe is a feature, not a bug.

[–] [email protected] 43 points 4 days ago

if Russia could have seized all of Ukraine they would have already what a load of shit

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

In regards to that Ukraine has already made an extremely huge concession by not assassinating putin and all his officers.

What concession is Russia making in regards to occupying crimea and Donbas though?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 days ago

If the Chinese leader acted like this they would be lighting police stations on fire. Why are Americans limp dicked?

[–] [email protected] 53 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Exactly what Putin's bitch would say. Not surprising.

[–] [email protected] 29 points 4 days ago

For someone who claims to be an old school masculine individual he is an incredibly insecure whore.

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

Just what a treasonous Russian stooge would say.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 4 days ago

Who stopped them, motherfucker?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 days ago

The audacity of this motherfucker.

In the US there is this new slur "Trump hater", which is apparently a negative trait to have..I think it is supposed to mean you're clinically insane..Because who in their right mind doesn't love Trump??
