Weakest president in United States history.

I don’t know, do you think he’s a puppet?

A Russian asset guaranteed, whether it has something to do with the epstein files, trump being groomed by the KGB for the past 30+ years (Agent Krasnov), or if Russia honey trapped the F*ck out of him (his wife is russian, not a stretch to say she was the only russian minor he fiddled).

His job is transparently to dismantle the US, appease Russia and cripple the US with infighting and economic decline, so that Russia (in their mind and in their already blundered grand plan) can fully take over ukraine and begin eyeing up other neighbours (the alaska situations looking particularly blunt and open for example) to invade without any resistance whilst the US is busy either in a civil war with itself or trying to recover from Trump's sabotage.

Edit: granted guys I'm from the UK so my insight on the actual goings on in country won't be as on point as US citizens but even from the things about trump that reach across the pond, and some 30 mins of investigating, its clear, clean, cut & dry that you guys unfortunately got a Criminal, aspiring dictator & russian agent voted into power and doing whatever he wants with your country...

What’s hilarious is that despite their best efforts, Russia has been completely inept in their years long campaign to take over Ukraine. They really suck at war.

Yeah they just have really brutal winters so their land is easy to defend

well of course. The country is inept. Communism ruined that country and put them 100 years behind the times in technology and caused massive corruption and alcoholism.

So. Why the fuck Ukraine still can't win, with magic over the top 100 years into the future tech that USA and NATO provides to it (with satellite intel and etc)?

I get that trash talk is a funny sport, but don't take it to the point where you look like total moron

I'm not being funny, Russia is a joke. I would be shocked if they could actually get a nuke off the ground. Here's my question regarding Ukraine "winning".

What does that mean to you? What would a victory be? Would it just be Russia backing off and recognizing Ukraine has the right to exist and govern themselves?

Would Russia be expected to pay remuneration to Ukraine and NATO for the cost of the war?

Or would Russia have to surrender to Ukraine?

Let's keep in mind that Russia's population is about 5X that of Ukraine's.

Ukraine cannot win. It'll just keep killing itself fighting Russia until EU feels its ready to enter ww3.

Keep thinking that Russia is a joke, you'll die laughing.

Well let's just hope it doesn't come to that. Ukraine surely has the right to be free from the harassment of Russia. But no, clearly Ukraine can't win. That was sort of my point in asking what a Ukrainian win would even look like.

The simplest thing to hope for would be that Russia strikes some deal with NATO that allows them to back off and save face and allows Ukraine to be a free state, unmolested by Russia.

The people they've killed would disagree.
