Lets be clear. Trump is eyeing the materials. Not the general population.

PugJesus@lemmy.world on 15 Feb 20:03 next collapse

The general population will back Trump about it. Unfortunately.

And the real estate!

MrNesser@lemmy.world on 15 Feb 20:04 next collapse

Something something war profiteering

Great deal…

Give up, let go land you’ve lost so far, and give Chump half your rate earths…

Who could ask for better. 🙄🙄

Edit: just further ransacking of Ukraine for the sole benefit of Chump, Elonia, and their chosen. Proving Ukraine is a non-entity to them.

🤦‍♀️🤷🫏🤡🖕

The devil is in the details.

Agreements with the US aren’t really worth much. It’s an oligarch-run proto-fascist state; such regimes tend to be unreliable. And we have the Budapest Memorandum to go by in Ukraine.

People in Ukraine would probably support this initiative if it meant actual security from the russians. Since Trump rejects Ukrainian membership in NATO (let alone efforts to get to our legal borders), the presence of US troops sounds like a ruse. A few soldiers hanging out in Lviv (far west of the country, close to Poland) aren’t going to be much good against a russian invasion and at any rate, Americans lack the guts to fight russians (not counting a russian invasion of continental US which will never happen).

At this point, I’m not sure if trump would bother trying to defend the US from an actual Russian invasion, especially if they invaded an area he doesn’t like.

It’s a good thing it’s not his job to defend it, it’s the military’s.

Fredthefishlord@lemmy.blahaj.zone on 16 Feb 05:40 collapse

Yup. We’re genuinely less reliable than a straight fascist government at this point

What a deal!

charade_you_are@sh.itjust.works on 16 Feb 01:11 next collapse

I think there was some point 10 or more years back that the US was worried about corruption in the Ukraine. Oh how the turntables

I hope Trump is told to fuck off and the rest of the world tariff’s us to fucking death.

I had a long rant but it just boils down to Hillary finalized the death of the Democratic Party and there has been zero coherent leadership after her eviceration of it.

Maybe America needs to die so something better can rise from its ashes.

I agree with you either way (at least regarding the DNC being a husk of a party), but I’d really like to see that rant.
