The goal is to keep Russia from releasing the compromising files they have on Trump while pretending to care about traditional western alliances. But that veneer is quickly fading.

If your last president had not been so timid it would have been over Russia put up 3 red line that USA finally stepped over before he was voted out If he had gone hard after the first red line how many lives could have not been wasted Now your country has a leader that wants to be like Putin

Yes, the sick joke is we could defeat Russia in Ukraine without significant "boots on ground". Ukraine is already doing 90% of the work! They know how to fight Russians better than anyone. All we ever had to do was use our overwhelming superiority in air power to cover them, and arm them properly.

From a NATO / western perspective, it could've been an entirely defensive operation. We had, and still have, the air power to fill their biggest capability gaps without even fully committing. We just collectively lacked the stones. It has cost us all badly, and Ukrainians have paid the price.

I remember in 2022, many pushed back saying we couldn't even dare shoot down a 🇷🇺 missile or it'd be nuclear war. We know that's bullshit now. We've already brushed aside a dozen of Putin's ridiculous professed "red lines". But none of us in the west ever adapted our strategic support to reality.

Remember when someone in the republican party said this? What happened? Perhaps the new republican slogan should be "Maybe so, but I gotsta get paid!" #KinzingerForPresident #ImpeachTrump #ImpeachTrumpNow #Impeach_The_orange_felon #OrangeFelonIsATraitor #goTrumpBloodClotgo #trumpStroke2026

Agreed Putin is hanging on by the short hairs- giving the Ukraine the “stuff” they need -other problems would fade away but what does Putin have on trump it’s very fishy

Indubitably. Putin is teetering. All he needs is a flick from us, meaning a few planeloads of Tomahawk missiles. Trump is clearly in Putin's pocket. We are all in grave danger. Act like it, people.

It just strikes me funny that the Man that never paid taxes because " thats how the system works " or dodged the draft now wants to get richer at the expense of my military brothers and sisters . So J.D. , Elon , Peter Thiel and the rest of you weirdos , Fuck You !!!!

Yeah, that's what just kills me. A blitzkrieg, with no pause: Long range missiles to obliterate the front lines Thousands of UAVs into Russia all at once, non-stop Blow the Kerch bridge to smithereens Do it all at once. Overwhelm air defenses. Get it over with and be done.

Or we could end NATO by threatening or invading Greenland. I grew up in the 80's and 90's. We wouldn't have backstabbed our allies to help Russia then. We didn't have a president who traveled to Moscow, hung out with the KGB, and came home and took out anti-NATO ads in the NY Times back then.

TACO on steroids! Bone Spurs is afraid to stand up to Putin so he goes after the little guys- Venezuela , Denmark, etc etc. The war could end tomorrow if he stood up for Ukraine. He is prolonging the suffering.

Biden fucked up by blindly following the precept that we shouldn't inflict catastrophic defeat on a nuclear power because of the danger they will go nuclear, as advocated by JFK during the Cuban Missile Crisis. It's an overly simplistic tactic that Putin consciously manipulates against us.

That's precisely the same reasoning, just with more explanation than I could fit into a single skeet. The danger of the chaos you reference to the rest of the world would be if someone took advantage to grab and deploy Russia's nukes. Without nukes, no one cares if Russia falls apart.

The combined GDPs of US + EU are ~22X Russia's GDP. Russia's GDP is ~= to Italy's. The US & the EU could bury Russia in an arms race with very little economic impact on their citizens. Reagan did it & the Soviet Union collapsed. We just need the will to do it. Instead, Trump is protecting Putin.

Good to know that this little unpublicized news item can be kept at bay, merely by having that son of a bitch keep doing his Jan Brady impression "Russia, Russia, RUSSIA!" and it all goes Poof. THERE IS A RUSSIAN ASSET IN THE WHITE HOUSE, PEOPLE (credit: @meidastouch.com):

When first told of the invasion, Trump described it as "Genius." And he has consistently maintained that Russia should get to keep currently held territories, because: "They lost soldiers." Now he wants to run a Ukrainian nuclear power plant together with Russia.

This is not a surprise when most of Trump key people are Russian assets. We knew that before thier conformation hearings and yet Republicans voted for them unanimously, which makes them Russian assets also.

Like, dude, the battlefield is *right there*. And helping the Ukrainians would make them generationally thankful. We don't live in that timeline unfortunately.

You know that the real goal of the 50 year agent of the USSR is for Ukraine to be crushed, the Union restored and America destroyed And his allies and apologists are attempting to set up a version of the Republic of Mahabad on the ruins of the former leader of the free world.

At this point it appears we should be more concerned with fighting off the US army, how about you guys de throne agent Orange and Couch fucker plus his clique of techbro Billionaires Its kinda hard for the 🇪🇺 to fight of the 🇺🇸🇷🇺 on two fronts. Mass 🇺🇸 civilian protests when?

Someone needs to tell Chump that once he gives Putin everything he wants, he will release the kompromat with glee. He could just destroy him now and be done with Putin forever. At least one show of genuine strength is possible by destroying Putin. Some might even consider him a hero.

He is clearly an asset of Russia, I feel like Vladimir has the Epstein files. He will do anything, including selling out America. The GOP is either full of a bunch of fucking idiots or they are in the files or they are racists. I don’t know why else?

As have I. My Rep's office called my work number to try to have me fired for being a "godless liberal" Unknown to them, I own my own business and they were speaking with ME, trying to get ME to fire ME. I'm not going to name names, but he is a republican with his head REALLY far up trump's ass.

if NATO, including us, said we are gonna end this, we could. it would secure europe for at least a generation and end putin…and that last part is why we will not and have hamstrung others.

I said that in 2014 when Russia invaded Crimea - instead of messing around for years just a swift & unequivocal rebuke from the international community that we don't invade nations for land or resources. It's my main worry now for Europe with the US - better to over-react early to save escalation.

Hands down Russia can’t defeat Ukraine as it is and if the west and mainly the US contributed just a proper amount of weapons and support this would be on its way to being over and would have bin over if the west wasn’t a bunch of cowardly fence sitters in the first place and that’s going to Biden 2
