Putin is going to violently slaughter hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians, because his boy lost the White House.
I fucking guarantee you, somewhere in the DC sewers, or on Jared WhatsApp are the plans.
Donnie Dipshit was going to give his "handler" Ukraine without a single shot. It would have cost Putin some FUCKING money, or a ridiculous gilded hotel in Moscow, but the fuckstick was going to give Putin whatever the fuck he wanted, with the compliance and enabling of the entire RETRUMPLICAN Party.
It explains why so many Retrumplicans are still trying to overturn the election.
5 fucking states thwarted the Russian AND ANERICAN Oligarchs fucking world domination plans.
Every fucking business, corporation and billionaire that gave money to Retrumplican politicians, or to advance Retrumplican policies, will have the blood of hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians on their hands.
4 years of that blithering fucking dipshit and his Barbie and Ken "foreign policy" have brought us to the brink of World War III.
Retrumplicans and Retrumplican voters own this shit sandwich.
I hope they choke on it.

getting Zelenski undermined and painted as corrupt so Vlad could topple the govt. For TFG it was a chance to dirty up Joe . A toofer.
These bastards are traitors. Wonder where Jared is right now?

(6,602 posts)That's not the only reason of course, but I keep feeling like Putin didn't do it while Trump was POTUS because it would have reflected badly on Trump, & Putin liked having a submissive sycophant in the White House, so he waited until the invasion had maximum stragic advantage to himself.

(3,869 posts)That you want the media to report on? Any ethical journalist (and I understand they're becoming rare) need some reliable sources. If you have any, please share.

(15,358 posts)that Donnie Dipshit was trying to extort Ukraine, and that his campaign manager was trying to install a Kremlin backed politician as the leader of Ukraine, and then go from there...
BTW - Have we ever gotten info on what Donnie Dipshit and Vladimir discussed with only an interpreter in the room?
And then, let's just use our common sense.
Can you think of one time...ONE TIME in Donnie Dipshits miserable life where he did ANYTHING that was not transactional?
Dude doesn't take a piss unless he can somehow make money, or gain leverage over someone by doing it.
Of course, that would require our media doing something different than just interviewing each other.

(1,910 posts)Of course Putin would have gotten a free pass from Trump, that is true. But this is not in any way WWIII. Putin has his shorts in a bunch over the fall of the Soviet Union, always has. This is an ego trip, being the guy who reunites a large part of the old country.
But lets be historically accurate. This is not WWIII. If he invades it will be an isolated shit show, many will die for no reason. But it will indeed be very isolated, go on for years and years, likely result in some splitting of the country. 40% of Ukraine citizens are very pro Russia already.
Its not WWIII, Putin is not bombing Pearl Harbor or Great Britain, he is not going to touch any NATO countries at all.
We get carried away on this forum with trying to make false analogies. Democrats are not going to be rounded up and put into concentration camps if a Repug wins in 2024, so no, its not the same as Nazi Germany. And no, Putin is not starting WWIII in any sense of the concept.

(15,358 posts)And yeah, maybe they don't round up "Democrats", but what about my LGBTQ child?
Deny them housing? Deny them employment? Beat the shit out of them because that's what the leadership says is OK? Deny them a place in society?
Oh sure, that will never happen, right?
