Sending 240,000 Ukrainian women and children refugees is also meant to destabilize Ukraine. The part Cono conveniently leaves out is Ukrainian men stayed to focus on fighting Putin's unprovoked invasion knowing their families who fled Russian occupation were safe. It's absolute evil sadism.
An excellent speech by a French senator:

"Buffoon on ketamine" and great minds & all "Nero," "the King of the deal, the submissive art of the deal, is accelerating Xi''s planned invasion of Taiwan"
Zelensky and Trump are, famously, on extremely friendly terms. All Zelensky had to do was ask for a quarter million Ukrainians to be sent home and Trump says - yes sir!
Drop dead you pos Trump! Anyone still backing this asshole can drop dead too.Quote:

Echo's of 1937. What could possibly go wrong except for no father/daughter dance.Quote:
BRUSSELS - The European Union, an entity that has long cast itself as a peace and trade project, is in crisis talks Thursday focused on defending itself. Along with the specter of a belligerent Moscow, President Donald Trump’s sudden redrawing of alliances and withdrawal of support for Ukraine are driving Europeans to fast-track plans to bolster their militaries, upgrade their arsenals - and, ultimately, to curb their dependence on the United States. Among the E.U. leaders meeting in Brussels, there’s a rallying cry that Europe needs to embark on a military buildup in a way it hasn’t in decades. The E.U.’s executive branch has unveiled a proposal to unlock hundreds of billions in extra defense spending in the coming years, while Germany is starting a big shift away from controls limiting borrowing. Meanwhile, France is floating the possibility of expanding its nuclear deterrent to cover its European allies.
The Fools!!! Why are the threatening and being mean the peace loving nation of Russia?????
It seems like EU countries already have effective weapons if they can scale.
A peace race via an arms race via a collapse of law and order. Makes total sense.

An aircraft carrier group gave the US, and still does in most places, some of our biggest influence. I’m sure there are some in here more knowledgable than I, but I don’t see how a couple carrier groups would survive anywhere near the straights of,Taiwan for long. Yes, we’d do damage, and Guam etc.but china is a massive country, they would never bend short of nukes.
I always ask common Chinese people around me, respectfully, and even here, it’s not even a question. We’re not changing their minds.
In the nuclear age, all these fucking chambelein cliches are beyond stupid.
It's almost as if war was a bad idea that should be discouraged.
Discouraged or won. The United States of America shamefully removed the goalie. This isn't fucking hockey.
<p>
Apparently Cono doesn't realize the Republic of China came into being at the outset the nuclear age, or that the Chinese have had nukes for sixty years. They have never liked Taiwan's independence, but they have not liked the idea of risking war over it more.</p>

I'm guessing that Trump would then drag us out of NATO.Quote:

I now fully expect Starlink to be next.

We are sanctioning Ukraine while lifting sanctions on Russia.

Ragarding sanctioning Ukraine, I'm being a bit hyperbolic, but it appears we're blocking them from accessing US private industry.Quote:

But.... and hour or two ago Trump apparently said he's going to really ramp up sanctions on Russia, so who the fuck knows. THE ART OF THE DEAL!
Saying one thing and doing another? That would be UNPRECEDENTED for Trump.Quote:

This US administration is an enemy of Europe.

I hate what Trump is doing in concert with Russia more than I can possibly express.
The transparency of what they are doing is astounding. Pull US aid and intelligence while Russia bombs the shit out of Ukraine to force them to surrender.
It's really quite shocking. The disregard for a sovereign nation and its citizens is mind boggling.
Fuck them both.
It's treason. It's obvious. Will anyone do anything? At some point he has to be charged with it. I'm hopeful the general staff in the military will stand with the Constitution when push comes to shove but I dunno.
When push comes to shove has been decided in the last election. Fuck you.

That is beyong stupid! Demand for electronic weapon systems and related services from Lockheed Martin, Boeing, General Dynamics, and Northrop Grumman is going to decline. One would expect gradual shitf towards Dassault Aviation, Saab and Airbus.Quote:

Donald Trump is many things, mostly bad, and I'm certain by now that he doesn't care a whole lot about Ukraine.
But he's definitely not a Russian agent.
Been interesting trying to figure out his motivations these past couple of months, and a bigger picture is emerging. Dunno what it means yet. Probably not so good.
And I don't see Ukraine giving up. This isn't the first or even second time the U.S. has fucked her over. In the event that Trump actually reverse all sanctions on Putin, well, that would change things.
Time will tell...
I don’t believe you can say he is definitely not a Russian agent when the facts show that he has done everything a Russian agent would do. It’s hard to come up with anything a Russian agent would do differently
He is a simpleton driven by ego though so it’s not too late for him to flip flop again given the right amt of smoke applied to his ass.
I don’t believe Ukraine will throw in the towel anytime soon and hopefully Europe and others can keep them supplied in our absence
Prompt: Can you give numeric value to the probability of Trump being a Russian asset?
<ChatGPT clarifying questions?>
Prompt: Statistical probability based on his recent policy

<a lot of text leading to the conclusion/>
Conclusion
In summary, many of Trump’s noteworthy policies dovetailed with Moscow’s strategic interests, and this alignment was far from coincidental. Based on expert analysis, declassified intelligence, and quantitative signs of influence, it appears highly probable that Russian influence operations achieved some of their desired effect in shaping U.S. policy during Trump’s tenure. We can quantitatively infer a significant probability (well over 50%) of foreign influence at play, though the exact degree remains uncertain. Crucially, even a moderate influence can have outsized effects: slight shifts in Trump’s approach (e.g. sowing doubt about NATO or delaying aid to Ukraine) yielded substantial strategic gains for Russia.
Going forward, analysts stress the importance of resilience against such influence. The Trump case underscores how a combination of personal affinity, political bargaining, and external manipulation can realign U.S. foreign policy in ways that mirror an adversary’s wishlist. Any probability estimate must be taken with caution, but the preponderance of evidence suggests that Trump’s presidency was, in effect, a boon for Russian strategic objectives – a result that intelligence officials and statisticians would argue is very unlikely to be mere accident?
All conclusions are drawn with acknowledgment of uncertainties and the inherent challenges of proving causation in foreign influence.
At the end of the day, is there a real practical difference between agent and traitor/willing collaborator in this caae?Quote:

You sent them all the junk we have, they have a manpower problem, there is a big, big decision coming down the road somewhere, and kicking the can down the road any further, with people dying, if we’re not ready to send soldiers, actually risks the 80% left and could create an even more difficult situation.
At least Europe woke up trump is clearly taking us out of nato and Greenland, Canada is apart of whatever missile defense, that’s coming.
But trump,derangement syndrome could take us all out at any minute, so this is a nail bitter.
Trump derangement syndrome is an affliction of the MAGAtards
