Welcome to c/electoralism! politics isn't just about voting or running for office, but this community is.
Please read the Chapo Code of Conduct and remember...we're all comrades here.

Just a reminder when these people say "Ukraine is fucked", what they mean is they believe Trump will have a less hawkish policy toward Ukraine than Biden. That he'll pump fewer weapons into a barbaric WWI-style meat grinder in eastern Europe and engage in diplomacy. Something that likely isn't even true.
"Ukraine is fucked" to libs means losing some land and/or having a pro-Russia government. The people dying don't matter.
Ukraine has been Biden's project since he was VP. Trump on the other hand holds no hate for Russia and even clashed with Zelenskyy. He'll be happy to drop them. Especially as revenge for his first impeachment and loss to Biden. Plus he has Israel as an excuse.
The Republican party is still controlled in part by the defense blob. If anything he'll pull a nixon and find a way to prolong the war while pretending to end it.
He has other battles to hawk over. Like I said he has Israel as an excuse. "We need to stop sending weapons to Ukraine so we can send them to Israel."
Plus he'll probably start stoking things with Iran even further.
