Trump will fight tooth and nail against the ruzzians.....
I thought The Onion was supposed to be satire...
It's Satyr.
I believe his tactic is:
- ”Negotiate” a deal with Russia without Ukraine
- Present the deal to Ukraine
- Ukraine declines the deal because it mostly favors Russia while Ukraine gets nothing
- Accuse Ukraine for being warmongers who refuse to end the war
- Stop the aid to Ukraine because ”he doesn’t want to support warmongers”
I think he is looking for an excuse to lift sanctions on Russia.
I fear you will be proved right.
It's getting harder and harder to tell Onion stories from reality.
That one is 100% real.
You know what would be really spooky?
If Vance came back from Munich with an agreement to settle the Ukrainian question with Putin and declared peace for our time...
I'm sorry. You posted this in the wrong community. THIS one is supposed to be satire.
This is why Russia bought the presidency, right? I really don't get why people are still pretending this is news.
...he's been a known russian asset for decades, openly broadcasting it to the world for at least nine years, and a plurality of the electorate are totally fine with that...
As part of the deal, Kyiv has been renamed “Trump City, Russia” in what Trump called a “tremendous concession on the part of Vladimir Putin and the people of Russia.”
In addition, it has been reported that Trump ordered the construction of a tower in his name: "It's going to be the biggest tower in ~~Ukraine~~ Trump City, maybe ever. Nobody builds towers bigger than me!"
No surprise there.
I wonder if he thinks he can also ignore basic contract law on the international scale? Or is he maybe planning to send US troops to assist the Russians when the Ukrainians refuse to recognise his genius.
I'm sure he's prepared to promise anything to make his deal come through, but abandon those promises immediately afterwards.
That's how promises work, in his mind
This is how the orange man will stave off WW3, by uniting American and Russian troops against a common enemy!
