      I’m sure he can find ways to make healthcare even worse, sell out the remainder of your privacy to big tech and look for ways to give everybody’s job to AI.

      Here is redundant with some of the other items.

        How hard it is to call out trump zionizm without justifying Biden complicity with the genocide

          Apparently very difficult for some. Especially since they chose to abstain from voting, making everything even worse. But, they will continue to justify their decision by not understanding or acknowledging the chaos to come.

            If they were too insignificant to listen to, they are too insignificant to blame.

              Guess it’s not Trump’s fault because someone thought he was too insignificant to listen to?

        As we’ve seen, they don’t work at all if countries like India and China are still willing to trade with them via backdoor channels.

          What we’ve seen is the exact opposite. The state is running huge deficits, burning through its war chest, and the economy is very hot right now.

              Well burning through their savings, and printing money like Weimar means they do absolutely not sell enough oil. So they do sell but largely not enough.

              Even less is better ofc.

    I thought he was supposed to end the war within 24 hours of him taking office?

    He hasn’t kept his campaign promise!

      No, it was 24 hours after being elected.

      It’s so tiresome people even seem to think he even believed it himself, not talking about you ofc go ahead and bash him! But about “journalists” and youtubers etc.

        If you listen hard enough, some even say he was responsible for the ceasefire, even from before he was sworn in.

        Actually you don’t even have to listen very hard. Stupid is pretty loud these days.

    Like I get the whole shitting on Trump thing. But it gives me a bit of hope he isn’t just cutting Ukraine off or trying to force them to capitulate.

    Could even argue he might handle this better than Biden…

    Putin must be very weak right now to have his (former?) lapdog potentially turn on him.

        Ok 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.

        Given the use of the word settle, I am concerned it means Russia can promise to stop with only half of Ukraine and Trump will turn that into a victory and blame Ukraine for being unreasonable…

    Did Zelensky promise Trump hotels in Ukraine or something during his meeting a month ago? Like a Mar-a-Lago in Crimea?

      Probably. And honestly, gross though the idea is, it would have been wise. He has a country to save.

        Turning Crimea into Europe’s Florida would be worth returning it and protecting it. I just wish I was a fly on the wall to see what the heck he did to sway the orange one.

    Man he sure sounded confident he could end things “On day one!”…

    Was this really all he had up his sleeve? Pathetic.
