Re: Trump kicks Zelensky out of the White House.
[QUOTE=Overdrive;14982381]It's pretty simple. Most of US' wealth comes from its involvement in WW2 and build their economy through building a huge economic partner in Europe.
At the moment China is starting to overtake this block and it doesn't give a big enough shit about the US. At the same time the US is alienating Europe und leaving Ukraine to Putin opens a gate to Europe for him. He'll try how far he can go. Step by step.[/QUOTE]
There will be plenty of Trump's coming soon to Europe. The youth there are increasingly becoming more right wing. That should be worrying because the youth should always be more liberal, most will inherently become even more right wing as they age

Re: Trump kicks Zelensky out of the White House.
[QUOTE=diamenz;14982384]like i said in the other thread, there's no evidence to suggest that putin has ambitions beyond ukraine (or even taking the [I]entirety [/I]of ukraine). putin has neither the military nor the economy to undertake a task of that a scale. do you realize how many millions of troops he would need to not only conquer but occupy these eastern european countries? he would need well over a million alone just for ukraine. i'm sorry but this is a ridiculous argument. show me the evidence and make a case for it because i'm open to listening. i've made my case for nato expansion a number of times and provided a timeline of events to back it up.
what we should be doing is normalizing relations with russia and in the process driving a wedge between them and china. china is our real peer competitor - it's not russia.[/QUOTE]

I hope I’m wrong but I really don’t understand why a German would be watching this thinking it’s cute. If shit hits the fan, which it very well seems it is. Germany will be Russia’s end game to the war this is about to start.
Germany will be the prize. They invade Poland, terrorize Finland, and try to stomp through Romania and co, but Germany is the end game.
Germany doesn’t even have nukes. They almost certainly look to get their own arsenal at this rate. Which is almost certainly going to make the planet tremendously more dangerous.
It’s insane the regression Trump has caused geopolitically. And insane how stupid and comfortable people are taking world peace for granted.

Re: Trump kicks Zelensky out of the White House.
[QUOTE=diamenz;14982374]i'm not quite sure what a lot of you guys are arguing for at this point. ukraine has no chance of winning this war short of us putting troops on the ground. in that scenario, if we were to begin to pushing putin back and ultimately taking back ukraine, putin would use the threat of nuclear attacks against ukraine because moscow sees this conflict as being existential to their country. so this is a lose/lose situation for ukraine and it may as well end now while, as trump said, zelensky still has somewhat of a country left. we never should have gotten ukraine into this mess. this is OUR fault (as well as europe's).
so if you're arguing for more war, you're just arguing for more death and destruction with zero return on investment. it's over.[/QUOTE]
So, what is the end game then? Russia just takes over the planet by threatening to suicide bomb the world?
Are you people ****ing stupid? You don’t negotiate with terrorists. Moron ****ing Trump who’s never learned foreign policy a day in his life, doesn’t understand this and is free styling the ****ing thing and treating it like it’s a shitty low level business deal. ****ing minerals.
Russia has violated so many agreements, ceasefire after ceasefire, committed countless crimes in every possible way you can imagine. There is no ****ing peace deal with them.
And if you just give them Ukraine, guess what **** nuts? They will be bordering 5 MORE NATO countries through their annexation of Ukraine. Which kind of defeats this whole bullshit argument about NATO being a ‘threat’. Their incursion is only getting closer to NATO. Realistically, Russia is blatantly an imperialistic shithole country full of weak, low character individuals(much like US conservatives), that is on a death race for world domination one way or another. And placating them for a few years, and allowing them to rebuild is a guaranteed disaster for the planet.

Trump never likes Zelenskyy at the first place. Remember when he tried to make Zelenskyy blackmailing Biden and failed? Seeing how Trump's 2nd term is the "Revenge Tour", Zelenskyy clearly is on the list.

You should know that anything those people side with is bullshit, maybe even more-so than the people in congress who side with Trump. All of those dudes (and women) made a name for themselves by being ****ing clowns. I respect(ed?) Bernie, but he says some clowny shit. I think he has convictions, though.
The part that bothers me is even though I believe this is somewhat STAGED, it's an interesting historical event. It's really sad that people come down on either side of propaganda. I can't believe all the people on Reddit calling Zel a true hero, etc. It's like haha.
To me, I wish Vance hadn't interjected. Trump felt the need to get stronger because dude disrespected Vance.
Zel should have never said:
Russia did stuff in 2016 when you were pres (he wasn't pres in 2016 haha.)
You aren't doing more than Europe.
We don't compromise with killers.
We fought alone...
and that shit where he was like, "You guys will feel it, soon." I think that was the hugest land mine. Trump was actually pissed. He was red through his orange.
As for Trump, I wouldn't have pushed him. Holy shit. I wouldn't have dissed his clothes upon seeing him (they are feuding tho, not the time for petty bs,) and he could have worded stuff a lot differently. You can respond to Zel's confrontation by being real but also supportive.
They wanted that to happen for some reason. There was a lot of tension in the room. Zel was shaking even starting out. He actually looked more comfortable confronting Trump. I really do think that confronting people is never the answer. He said some super wild shit like that he thinks Russia should pay them. Trump also doesn't wanna say exactly what he's gonna do, but I do buy the argument if we got the minerals that they would be protected at least until we got them out. That would give Europe and them plenty of time to build up a force and plan.
Zel played it like he had all the power. I don't think he does. I think people are gonna cheer him on and use him to attack Trump, but I doubt even Europe supports them if we don't. It would be nice to see the EU step up and handle this themselves. Trump said what he would do. Zel didn't like it. Move on, then.
But this was BS. BS questions from reporters, instigating. Super surprised at how pissed Trump got, though. He definitely dressed a lot of people down, in his career, but he lost it in this situation. I HOPE that's because he cares. haha. I am one of those people who still kinda think Trump cares. Everyone says he doesn't, but there's just so much shit that make it seem like he does. Sure, he wants money and he might be super selfish, but he still seems to care about getting shit together. I think he realizes that it's best for everyone.

Re: Trump kicks Zelensky out of the White House.
Trump's mineral deal makes a lot of sense to me if the goal is to end the war and have lasting peace. However, it seems the deal doesn't include explicit security guarantee, just that "US would have vested interest therefore motivating them to support Ukraine's security." I can understand why Zelensky rejected this deal. If I'm to give up such a significant amount of my country's assets, it better come with concrete defense commitment from the US.

I dunno who to believe about the money number, either. Everyone is lying as far as I am concerned. Maybe it's equal, then, or close, but what do you say about the difference in loan amount?
Also, I was in shock (even tho like I said I think it was theater,) somewhat after watching that shit, but the more I think about it, the more I think that Zel really was being a dickwad. You can say shit should be equal, but it's not. He is coming here to ask a favor and basically implied that if we don't help him that we are gonna feel the consequences. And that was when Trump was like FOH. It probably is true, to be fair, but you don't rile people like that.
Seems like the mineral deal was never going to be signed at that event, and I imagine they will come together and do SOMETHING by the end of weekend, but if they don't... I guess it's whatever.
Again, you don't go in and say we were there alone when we gave them the weapons and probably intel. You don't go in and say we didn't do more than Europe. It's just bad diplomacy, despite what the facts are. You can be gracious. Trump is a hard ass, but Zel should have known how it was gonna go down. I think this was all a scheme, but I can't figure out if it was by Trump or by Zel's bros. There are two camps. Maybe they both did performances. You got all the Democrats + EU, then you got the Republicans and (probably?) Americans. I think everyone wants a positive outcome, but Zel is wiling if he thinks that Putin is gonna like apologize and pay him and give him his land back. Haha. It's like you grab someone by their shirt and drag them in after beating your kid's ass. You could be like APOLOGIZE and such, but more likely, you'd just say stop it... don't do it again. Putin will get his punishment over time.
If I haven't already said it, I really think Russia grows stronger during war, so it's just bad look over all. We shall see.
Edit: Zel also said Putin was using ballistic missiles while they were there as proof that he didn't want the war to stop, but I think that he is probably doing it to encourage them to stop the war haha. It depends on your viewpoint.

At some point being... in the future, years maybe. I think we will keep them afloat if they align with us, but we are gonna put them to work (take their ore like a real time strategy game.)

We benefit from being in Ukraine as well, as a strategic base. I dunno why people think we are allied with Russia, but we're not haha. People on Reddit saying shit like we are gonna switch sides in the war. ****in ay.
Also, google JD without a beard lol wew. Here's a sample [url]https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fpreview.redd.it%2Fjd-vance-beardless-v0-bqpl4vwozxgd1.png%3Fauto%3Dwebp%26s%3D1347a051fcccb459417ece61718fb0120cb4e54a[/url]

Re: Trump kicks Zelensky out of the White House.
[QUOTE=ArbitraryWater;14982526]How did he "kick him out" btw?
This didnt really happen?
Anyway, still in amazement over this.
This is how we should see politicians talk with each other. Openly and authentically.[/QUOTE]
A MAGA started this thread.
He knew what a debacle this was for Trump and the country so he had to spin it in Fat Donny's favor.
