I really really heavily doubt he will overperform Biden on this.
minus-squareblarth@thelemmy.clublinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·4 hours agoOk I read it. Here’s my take. This is a set up. Putin now has to say “ok, ok, we’ll make a deal!” Then he says he’ll end the operation in Ukraine but only if they retain taken territory. Then Trump gets to say that’s reasonable, and Zelenskyy becomes the disagreeable one for saying no. Trump then turns on Zelenskyy. I give it 3 months before this chain of events becomes reality.
