US President Donald Trump says Russia has made a “pretty big concession” to end the war in Ukraine by stopping short of taking the “whole country.”

      China is going to come out of as the big winner in this story, compounded by the US going full rtard on the world trade level.

    The world is held hostage by three sociopaths, Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin and Benjamin Netanyahu. Two of them are war criminals, and the third is waiting to happen at any moment.

      Israel is like a city in US. They have 10 million population. They are local, not global players.

      I fully expected you to say Xi

        I agree, the third big single powerful person is certainly Xi. I suppose one can say the “sociopath” is more evident with Netanyahu than Xi, because for now China is able to sit back and let Russia and USA self sabotage to a weaker position while mucking with the rest of the world, whole China gets to play comparative good guy in foreign policy. This is of course grading on a curve, they aren’t saints either.

      I don’t want to excuse Netanyahu here. He certainly belongs behind bars in my opinion. However, he only holds a part of the world hostage rather than all of it. I see him on par with folks like Kim Jon Un or Mohamed bin Salman rather than Trump or Putin.

    In the US there is this new slur “Trump hater”, which is apparently a negative trait to have…I think it is supposed to mean you’re clinically insane…Because who in their right mind doesn’t love Trump??

    I guess by that standard, I made a “pretty big concession” by not doing that 3rd push-up. I totally could have, promise.

    Fuck the US. It’s on the same level as Russia and China for me at this point.

        It’s even dumber than that. Because, using the same parallel, he didn’t do it only because she kicked him in the balls and pulled out a knife (meaning: Ukraine defended itself, it was not Moscow’s decision to stop).

        Maybe half of you shouldn’t of stayed home to ‘punish Kamala’?

        People who didn’t vote are just as guilty as those who voted for Trump.

          Especially the ones who refused to vote for her on the basis of the genocide in Palestine as if Trump wasn’t just as bad or worse in supporting Israel and as if the American establishment hadn’t always supported Israel. That idea that somehow not voting for her in that election would improve a single thing about that genocide was so stupid.

            I was saying as if everyone before Biden was also supporting Israel, somehow Israel became such big news around election year

              It doesn’t really matter if Israel became news, the only thing relevant to the election should have been if voting Harris, Trump or not voting was likely to have different outcomes for the topic of the genocide and there was no reason to believe that there was a chance of that.

          Girl you’re preaching to the goddamn choir here. I’m so fucking sick of saying “I fucking told you so, dipshit” to so many people. I’m so, so tired.

          Okay I’ll take the bait. Thought we’re done with this bullshit discussion.

          Maybe Kamala should have given a fuck about Palestinians. Why do you leave out the part where she showed the middle finger to her own voters whenever she could, same as Biden? People have been telling the dems for a year to support Palestine or lose their vote, but the dems were willing to lose the election over Palestine and they did. The democrats betrayed their voters, not the other way around.

            I guess those voters gave no fucks about either Palestinians or Ukrainians, considering both of those genocides have gotten worse under Trump.
