    They were slamming Trump the other day on CNN for wanting to negotiate a deal between the ukranzais and russia. Imagine Trump being the fucking peace maker?

      Trump: lets build a wall, put families in cages and drill baby drill!

      Dems: aight, sounds good enough.

      Trump: lets negotiate a peace settlement between Russia and Ukraine.

      Dems: "HES A DANGER TO DEMOCRACY!!!"

      Really funny that Donald Trump could have a case made for being the 'harm reduction candidate', seeing as Harris et all want to keep this going, are 'fine' with everything Israel is doing, and her wanting to actually be to the right of Trump on immigration...

      And by funny, I mean agony-immense

        libbing-outspeech-side-l-1Ackshually, pulling out of Ukraine would be harm maximization because the savage Ruzzzzzzzzzzzz... 1 million "z"s later... zzzzzzians would invade all of the civilized and enlightened Western Europe. It's just more proof that Drumpf and Putler are <insert homophobic joke here>.speech-side-l-2

      I think the funniest possible outcome would be if putin somehow convinces trump that the Israeli genocide should stop, and trump becomes the anti-genocide candidate.

      I think this is the liberal theory, on the grounds that it would tie in perfectly with his brand of isolationism.

    With what soldiers??? Ukraine has a massive manpower shortage. Does he think the west will ship orphans to fight for Ukraine, or something?

    more Ukrainian focus on mobilizing manpower, expanding its defense industry and building fortifications

    Haven’t they been doing that the last two years? Does Booty here think they’ve got some bootstrapping left in them they haven’t tapped yet?

    Sometimes I suspect that the West is deliberately maximizing damage to Ukraine to ensure it will never be able to leave its sphere of influence.

    The Ukrainians are certainly not wavering.

    They're fucking dead that's why. You absolute ghoul, you're staring at a corpse and are amazed at how it doesn't move.
