The latest comments by the US president come despite Kyiv repeatedly rejecting ceding the peninsula.

The US has recently warned it would walk away from negotiations if progress was not made.

Aren't negotiations typically between the two parties involved in the conflict? Who the fuck cares if the US walks away? The US currently provides nothing to Ukraine. Take away everything from nothing and you still have nothing. Why is this story even reported?

NATO is a military organisation which is led by the United States. The war started from expansion threats by NATO against Russia; or in other words, the war is NATO vs. Russia.

As NATO is and long has been led by the USA, the Commander-in-Chief of the USA speaks for them.

(As for why, if it's NATO vs. Russia, NATO haven't gone all-in? Because they could very easily start World War III that way, and no one is very keen on doing that.

Oh, and also because they don't give a fuck about East Slavs.)

Yeah, but who's going to supply Ukraine with weapons, ammo, intel? Who is preventing Musk from turning off Starlink? Trump has repeatedly tried to push the narrative that sees Zelenskyy as the one with blood-stained hands.

Hey I like your username!

Zelenskyy likely said "No way in fucking hell".

Which, Trump being the sociopathic rapist that he is, took that as "Oh yeah daddy I'm ready to give it up"

Trump "thinks" he can predict the future by throwing around clout he really doesn't have. That's why he says he's already met with China. He's brazen enough to think that just because he said it, it'll become true.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

Predict? He thinks he can CREATE the future by just saying it out loud

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago

False. He does not think.

It was in quotes, like I’d expects.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Was that based on Zelenski saying that would never happen?
