Trump echoes Russia as he flips US position on Ukraine
While the sudden change in US foreign policy is dramatic, the president has been charting this course for years.
Summary
Donald Trump sharply criticized Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, calling him a "dictator" and accusing him of corruption, aligning his rhetoric with Russia’s stance.
His remarks followed a phone call with Vladimir Putin and reflect his long-standing skepticism of US support for Ukraine.
Trump’s "America First" policy prioritizes reducing aid to Kyiv while shifting focus to China.
While some Republicans voiced concerns, Trump is wielding total authority over his party.
What an absolute piece of Shit. I can’t wait for somebody to cave in that pumpkin.
It makes me so tired thinking of all the family that argued beyond reason that there was 'no proof' he was a Russian asset. I just learned to be quiet.
They, those around me found out that every time they brought up the orange tumor I would point out he was a russian agent. Let them learn to be quiet.
If there are any generals in the US that are still loyal to the people and their oaths they took to defend our country from enemy's both foreign and domestic, now is the time.
now is the time.
They're not going to do anything until the public starts it. The Military isn't going to swoop in and save The civvies from the inconvenience. Civillians are going to have to start it, then, they back us, if they will. That's the time.
The military has to be called in to gun us down and refuse.
It is almost like Trump is Putin's puppet.
How long until he will tweet about how the Ukrainian nation and its language is just a Leninist fabrication?
This deranged man will start WW3.
I'm increasingly convinced that that's his ultimate goal. Or maybe Putin's ultimate goal and Trump is just being used as a puppet.
Well yeah, an emergency like a war gives him power to do all kinds of authoritarian things.
putin's ultimate goal is to rebuild old USSR borders and control the whole Europe and Asia, he is not hiding it.
trump doesn't seem to have a problem with that and whatever he is getting from putin in return he thinks it is worth it.
Meanwhile musk, Vance and others are trying convert US into technofeudalism[1] and eventually get rid of trump one they succeed (trump likely was convinced by them that it is for his own benefit).
[1] this is what Bannon is upset about
Yes, it's mostly Putins goal, he knows the US will be too busy internally/incompetent to mean anything on a world stage so Russia takes the lead.
Musk is a firm believer of being part of the destruction of the world and desires to be on the forefront of reshaping it... For him it's all good 'till the restructuring begins.
So the path to world war has been firmly set in motion:
Trump fully destroys the US' international influence by dismantling the NATO and UN memberships, closing bases on foreign soil and discarding its external intelligence machine.
Ukraine will not want to be conquered and can make its own nukes, will be a huge pain for Russia.
Russia will attempt to take back eastern Europe, first through (political)chaos then by force, like it has done times and times again in the past.
Iran will see the US kneeling before Russia and openly attacks Israel with all it has, the US will try to call on the Arab states to intervene, but it would be in the name of Israel which... yeah is a bit awkward...
India and Japan will declare neutrality, Japan closes itself off from the world as in the olden days, and India has a few worms to pick with Pakistan....
Afrika is a tribal bloodbath on it's own and no party in this.
China will feel legitimized in taking Taiwan and perhaps all of Korea, which destroys the Wests supply of silicon. Causing a tipping point into all out war over the whole globe...
Chump wants his name on something. Anything.
A geographical "monument" to him. Something that says forever "Chump was here and did that".
Started with buildings, moved to a border wall, then Rushmore, and now he's looking on a global scale... Panama, Greenland, Gulf, etc.
And he's willing to give/do anything to get it. Likely including WW3. That'd be something to point to.
Also why he's aligning with Putain's goal to recreate USSR, and Xi's goal of absorbing Taiwan. Makes the Little Toddler Idiot feel like he has influence on a global scale that will be viewed with awe by all who gaze upon it in perpetuity.
Much more likely those viewers will point to any such changes with absolute derision and laughter.
I know I will.
🤦♀️🫏🤡🖕🖕🖕
Yeah, reading all the responses I think you're the one who's got it most correct: no overarching plan, no real fealty to Putin (just fanboyism, not 'kompromat'), just pure unbridled narcissism.
This is my theory on how come he wants to build an “Iron shield” or whatever he called it.
A late night call from the Oval Office: Good morning mister Vlad. It's Donald. Yes, Ukraine is on sale, but what about eggs? I told them I'd fix the price on eggs... Say what now?.. I can't pass the phone to Elon, he isn't there. Hello. Hello? Hello? HELLO? I hate it when he does that.
Uhhh.... he loves Putin. Duhh, he's going to peacock for his idol. What a moron.
I believe he is beholden to him by way of blackmail. Remember the Steele Dossier.
Steele was first to warn that Russia was mounting a covert operation to elect Donald Trump. Fusion GPS – his partners in Washington DC – have called this the dossier's 'foundational initial assertion' and it was correct. Much later, the Mueller inquiry would state that 'the Russian government perceived it would benefit from a Trump presidency and worked to secure that outcome.' Steele wrote about what was happening as early as June 2016...The US intelligence agencies...did not publish their findings until December 2016, too late to prevent the effort to influence the election.
The current head of the national intelligence service is a Russian Asset. She's probably feeding Putin approved information to Trump, along with Putin himself in their private phone calls.
The U.S. is rapidly turning into Russia, so it makes sense that we should start sounding like them.
Trump is a Russian asset and a traitor. How much more evidence do you need?
Russian puppet is going to do puppet things. mild shock
He’s always been a Russian asset, FFS!
Yes, since the 80s when the FSB took an interest in him. They likely have tons of kompromat on him. I can’t believe so many people in America cannot see it for what it is.
And the big sellout begins.
Wait I thought he was anti China?
Nah, he'll do the same with Taiwan and whoever else the dipshit feels like throwing under the bus that day...
