''Well if I tell you now it'll ruin the plan, you see it's gotta be a surprise''

He literally said this the last election.

Probably pull the gear, pull the Intel, wait for Ukraine to look increasingly unstable, call for "reconciliation"

Rapist coward trump will weasel on this one.

Trump: Cut off aid, let Russia win. War is over.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 months ago

I didnt forget about the time Trump tried blackmailing Ukraine into interfering in our elections.

He will release it in 2 weeks, along with that healthcare plan that's coming in 2 weeks

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

But he said that was going to be "infrastructure week"

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 months ago

He will do that just after releasing his tax returns.

But they announced already did they not.

  • Ukraine and Russia start peace negotiations where Ukraine has to make concessions.
  • If Ukraine refuses, no more aid
  • If Russia refuses, more aid for ukraine

I don't believe them, but this was what camp Trump communicated. Or am I wrong.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 months ago

From the start that is unacceptable. Russia should be making concessions, not Ukraine. Russia is the aggressor. Russia is in the wrong. All of the deaths and all of the destruction are the sole responsibility of Putin and his toadies.

If Ukraine refuses, provide aid to Russia

Fixed it for you

Two of his advisors said that and then his spokesman said only statements made by Trump himself or authorised members of his campaign should be considered official

That’s why it’s official policy that you should choose electrocution over shark attack if you are in an electric boat.

Ummm, “official act” to remove you permanently and anyone else that stands in the way?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I could bet a good buck that the plan is to give in to Russia. It's what every Republican wants for whatever mysterious reason.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 months ago (6 children)

70% of Republican voters stand with Ukraine

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

It's not possible to vote for Trump and supporting Ukraine at the same time. These are polar opposites.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 months ago

Nobody said they were smart.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Fun fact: you're being intentionally misleading

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Nope there was a survey recently, that showed a clear majority among Republican voters support Ukraine.
Unfortunately that is not the case for Trump and the crazy MAGA crowd. And they are the ones running the show.
Some of them are probably also delusional enough to believe Trump will help Ukraine with the peace plan Trump claims to have. Despite every sane person knows Trump will just demand Ukraine to yield, because they are not getting any more help.

Of course the support for Ukraine is bigger among Democrat voters, but that doesn't change that there also is a clear majority among Republican voters.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 months ago (2 children)

100% of Republican voters support someone who insulted the parents of a killed soldier on a national stage and has secret buddy-buddy meetings with the person invading Ukraine. The fuck should we care what they think?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Not 100%

I'm not voting for Trump

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Thank you. I'm glad you exist.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 months ago

I'm not voting for senile either. NEITHER ARE FIT FOR OFFICE. it's sickening. 🤮

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 months ago

He also withheld aid to Ukraine in an attempt to get dirt on his opponent. Literally what part of his impeachment trial was about.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 months ago

So they will vote for a party that supports Ukraine, right?

Yeah, I'll admit I've been hearing too much Alex Jones on Knowledge Fight. He seems to speak for the great majority of conservatwats so I assumed.

I'm not sure where you got the figure from but I looked it up and the polling seems messy. But I guess 3/4 of Republicans having an unfavorable view of Putin as reported by PBS is something that doesn't make me lose hope in humanity today. https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/u-s-adults-split-along-party-lines-in-support-for-ukraine-military-aid-ap-norc-poll-finds

(X) DOUBT

Not enough to affect the way they vote apparently. Or punish their candidates in primaries. Or push for change through the party apparatus. Or or or.
