Donald Trump continues to suck up to the Russian president.
If Ukraine were to suddenly surrender to Russia, everything would be “much better,” at least according to Donald Trump.
During an afternoon press conference Wednesday, the Republican presidential nominee urged the Eastern European nation to submit to the foreign power, claiming that any deal, no matter how dismal for Ukraine’s freedom, would have been better than the current state of affairs.
“Ukraine is gone. It’s not Ukraine anymore. You can never replace those cities and towns, and you can never replace the dead people, so many dead people,” Trump said. “Any deal, even the worst deal, would have been better than what we have right now.

Harris suggests giving Israel whatever they want. But, one is far more effective at killing innocents than the other.
Giant douche or turd sandwich? I’ll endorse neither.
So you’ll happily vote for Trump if he’s running against someone worse? I feel like eventually you have to draw a line somewhere
Honestly it’s not a bad point, but it’s also not reflective or a great comparison since it’s not really grounded in reality. I’d vote for the person not willing “fix” america in favour of white supremacy.
It’s not worse for me as a brown individual. That damage is already done.
It’s worse for MLK’s white moderates because they can’t ignore the issues the rest of us have been suffering our whole lives.
I’ll choose justice over order and principle over comfort. It’s the only way forward.
Fair and That’s probably what will be happening. Many of us are probably not coming out the otherside in that case.
I feel like you’re implying that being made aware of injustice is a worse position to be in than actually suffering from those same injustices, and that has to be the stupidest thing I’ve read in a while.
Where exactly did she do that. Source…
That sounds like a Facebook statement where eople like you just keep coming up with increasingly absurd comments until you forget what the truth is (like those anti EV people on Facebook who have somehow convinced themselves that petrol is cleaner and EVs constantly blow up, because they just keep upping their own comments).
So I’d really like a source on that one
Alternate headline: Trump Neville Chamberlain suggests giving Vladimir Putin Adolf Hitler whatever he wants
Comparing Trump to Chamberlain is a pretty big disservice to Chamberlain. History at least shows that Chamberlain was correct about Britain’s ability to combat German aggression, and his appeasement bought Britain the time to properly arm and ready themselves for war.
Trump’s just a sniveling sycophant who wants to give Daddy Putin everything he wants because he hopes Putin will be proud of him and treat him as a big man.
I could have sworn at one point Russia claimed to have annexed certain parts of Ukraine due to ethnic Russians, very similar to Hitlers Sudetenland claims.
Appeasement doesn’t work. Appeasement never works. It didn’t work with Hitler and it won’t work with Put-ler. This piece of shit is a useful idiot and I’m saddened that quite a few people today lap this shit up and see this as the best path forward. Ukraine may be scarred now but they can and will rebuild when they win this war. Slava Ukraini
Appeasement can work, just not in the obvious way. It’s like throwing steaks at a pack of hungry wolves. It won’t slow them for long, but it might give you enough time to find the shells, and load the shotgun.
What Trump is doing doesn’t even rise to the level of appeasement. He’s just begging like a whipped dog to his master.
To be clear, even if it was appeasement, it still would accomplish nothing since the US does not need to buy time to build up their military.
Ehhh, recruitment levels have been plummeting. I’m not saying we couldn’t absolutely kick Russia’s shit in with what we currently have, and take out half of Iran’s Navy again, while we are at it for shits and giggles. We could have some issues if WWIII were to happen, at least for a couple of months for the draft to catch up.
That’s a damn good analogy. Appease for long enough to grab a big stick. My original thought on Dementia Don saying just “give Putin what he wants” felt to me like a “if we do this now he won’t ask for more later and the war will stop” kinda thing. As I read it now I’m willing to bet you’re more correct. There is no nuance here. The orange cheeto is angling for praise from his master and dictators the world over. How fucking dumb
Appease for long enough to grab a big stick.
Neville Chamberlain got a bad rap from history for doing exactly this. He gave Hitler bits of what he wanted while making sure Britain had enough modern fighters (Hurricanes and Spitfires) to fend off the Luftwaffe when war inevitably did break out.
a useful idiot
Useful idiot has specific meaning. It is someone who is so dumb that you can convince him to betray his country for free and he does believe he is doing right thing.
I am pretty sure this piece of shit is getting paid.
Oh there’s definitely kompromat on him. He’s done terrible things to children on video I’m sure. He owes dark money to dangerous people.
Trumps plan to “solve russias war against ukraine” is to “give up”.
Is this the man you want leading your country?
Imagine FDR “solving ww2” by surrendering to japan and the nazis
No need to imagine when we have history to reference.
To his credit, Chamberlain wasn’t as bad as he’s made out. When he implemented his policy of appeasement, Britain was not actually capable of meaningfully resisting nazi Germany. He basically brought time to bring Britain back to a war footing. When it became obvious to the public that war was coming, he fell on his sword. This cleared the way for Churchill to take charge, without significant infighting. He also inherited Britain on a far better war footing, and even then it was a close thing.
Basically, Chamberlain knew his plan wouldn’t work long term. He took one “for king and country”, likely knowing how it would be perceived. I can at least respect him for that.
I’m not arguing it was or wasn’t right for Britain position at the time. Just making the point we know, from direct history, a policy of appeasement does nothing to stop further advancement.
This was his strategy in Afghanistan too!
Arguably that was always going to end with a Taliban takeover, but we could’ve done that without giving them a leg up.
If only we’d continued our brutal occupation of Afghanistan another 20 years, maybe the regime would’ve lasted another two weeks after we left.
Y’all are completely hopeless, enjoy your forever wars.
Are people like this just incapable of grasping nuance? I can only definitively speak for myself, but I’m pretty sure nobody here wants forever wars (maybe there are some dumb tankies that think they want it)
We all wanted out of Afghanistan, we just would prefer to have, you know, an actual plan.
But you know that already, don’t you? Or are you actually that ignorant?
Ah. Another sterling strategy from Donald “Neville” Trump.
