Saw this just after reading the post about Russia knocking out Ukrainian citizens' ability to heat their homes this winter.
Any tankies wanna weigh in on why this is acceptable?

It's making big sense lately why tankies LOVE trump so much.
He supports their favorite dictators very well.
I hope all the tankies and "genociders" will vanish after november so we can have normal discussions.

Trump more and more desperate for those Russian funds. Probably gets $1 million for each Ukraine/Zelensky diss.
And he'll still get up in front of Americans and claim he's not taking the side of the most belligerent enemy of democracy on this planet.

Ukraine may be in rough shape, but no real fire fighter would stop trying to put out a fire at a burning house. There is always something to save.
Not that I disagree about Ukraine but a good firefighter would probably know if a house is a lost cause and that the best course of action is to prevent the fire from spreading to others.
Almost as if no analogy is 100% perfect
Its almost like thats exactly what has happened and is still happening. Russia would be on its knees if we actually stopped holding Ukraine back
They would also yell at the people holding back the water.

If Trump is elected, the USA would also be demolished, but you should not give up the entire country.
Don't worry though... If elected, he'll get Putin on the horn and the "special operation" will be over before the following sunrise.
I just refuse to listen to a chronically lying fat fuck who shits himself on the regular
He's way too deep in bed with Russia, and has been since the 90s if not earlier, to ever be taken seriously. How the fuck he wasn't disqualified and charge over election interference and acting as a foreign agent in 2016 is beyond me.
Concerning whatever this felon awaiting sentencing might say, recall that the opposite is true.
Slava Ukraini!
Trump laid blame for the conflict on President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, his Democratic rival in November. He said Biden “egged it all on” by pledging to help Ukraine defend itself rather than pushing it to cede territory to Russia.
“Biden and Kamala allowed this to happen by feeding Zelenskyy money and munitions like no country has ever seen before,” Trump said.
It's great when his arguments only strengthen my resolve to stand with Democrats in supporting Ukraine.
feeding Zelenskyy money and munitions like no country has ever seen before
Except the Soviet Union during WW2. But we all know Trump is on the wrong side of that one too.

Why didn't he resolve the conflict during his presidency?
Or we also believe him that it didn't exist when he was president? His first impeachment was for blocking already approved aid.

"they didn't extort ukraine for oppo research hard enough!"
You know when you go to a movie and it looks amazing but turns out to be just the same fucking trope of a shitty guy with a sack of money belonging to an actual real bad guy and instead of just delivering it, the shitty guy blew it?
Now you gotta sit through two hours of him verbally fellating the guy then getting actually scared? That one?
Anyone else hate that trope?
Why do you hate No Country for Old Men?! (LOL, it's pretty close.)
Fargo too
He'll say the same to Taiwan, too
I mean, only if that's what Xi writes on the check's memo line.
