Trump tells Europe his administration will continue military support for Ukraine – FT
US President-elect Donald Trump has assured Europe that his administration will continue military support for Ukraine once he takes office.
This would hurt the feelings of his butt buddy, Putin. Highly doubtful.
Good news for the "won't be any wars under Trump" folks
Won't that upset his base? You know, the ones that said DT is a peaceful dove while the blood thirsty democrats want to sacrifice all of Ukraine for profit. Or will that claim go away like the rampant fraud claims?
Donald Trump's base supports him because he's Donald Trump. Any individual decision or issue is inconsequential and probably not even noticeable, as long as he stays roughly the same person.
I guess what I'm saying is, don't attribute a fixed self-consistent platform to those guys.
Hmmm, Trump saying some sane stuff? Elmo is saying he supports AfD? Sounds they are already starting the "passing of the republican torch" process.
Support for what?
Didn't he say he'll end the war within 24 hours?
My guess is that some advisor told him to say this. If you are very publicly not in favor of continuing support for Ukraine, that really reduces your ability to negotiate a good deal. There has to be the threat of continued or increased support if the Russians don't agree to terms. Whether this is believable is another question.
(X) Doubt
Yeah, we'll believe it when we see it with Trump, but this is promising.
One of the few guys who lies more than a politician.
At least we can point to these conversations when he inevitably changes his mind when putin drops a giant pile of Rubles on his desk or threatens him with blackmail.
Somehow I don't believe him. Probably due to his track record of doing the right thing along with standing up to Russian aggression and interference.
This is his way to tell Putin he wants more money and anther wife
So that definitely means his administration will not continue military support, because that man is the biggest liar in history.
Are you kidding .... who the hell can take his word about anything.
We're better off to turn off these dumb announcements and pay no attention to anything he says because either it doesn't make sense, its stupid, its a lie or he doesn't mean what he says
Keep watching the news to listen to what everyone else is saying but when it comes to US government, don't bother taking it to mean anything.
Yeah, just pay attention to what he does. What he says is close to useless.
I'm sorry. I didn't vote for this.
I have my doubts about this.
We all do, and even if it's true, expect a caveat
I mean, you literally just described the exact scenario that led to his first impeachment.
Next Year:
I find this difficult to believe. I am assuming he was either lying or this was an off the cuff statement that wasn't serious.
Trump is EXTREMELY lazy when it comes to doing stuff he says he will do so he will be playing golf for 4 years while doing almost nothing otherwise. If someone complements him and puts a document in front of him to sign he might.
That's the worry, that some of these fascist scum surrounding him are competent enough to destroy America.
We all know he's too much of a loser piece of trash to do it himself.
itll be traditional republican support. thoughts and prayers
