Calling it now: Putin and Trump had a falling out, Trump wants Zelenskyy to attack Moscow hoping that it either 1) kills Putin or 2) puts the pressure on Putin to capitulate (to Trump) somehow.

This is nothing to do with ceasefire talks or Ukraine at all. This is between Trump and Putin.

I dunno, he just needs a win and ending the invasion in Ukraine would be a big one.

Though yes it could also be something super bad like he's asking for Putin so then Putin can claim there was a super crazy attack in Moscow which gives him reason to up the ante munitions wise into something a bit longer lasting and much more spicy.

Westerners spent the entire past 5 years saying Trump is Putin's puppet lmao.

The Western media is made up of professional liars.

you are making the assumption that they're good at lying

Not really, i met plenty of professionals who suck at their job, i would read "professional" only as the flat: "it's their job, they are getting paid for it"

[–] Sandouq_Dyatha@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

ah, I read professional as professional not as profession

Well, most people do get better in something they do at their job, but the word is classical meaning drift from "they do this at work" to "thet do this good" hence it's commonly used to praise competence now.

And they will continue to: westerners will never accept that their problems aren't caused by foreigners

Jesus. The ONE THING I hoped he'd deliver on and he's also edging nuclear war.

How is the US supposed to contain China if it is bogged down in Eastern Europe and Southwest Asia?

Nato Chief Mark Rutte saying he is happy that Trump is listening to his ideas haha

[–] Pyr_Pressure@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 week ago (2 children)

So first Trump orders an airstrike of Iran, and now tries to get Ukraine to attack Moscow.

Where are the people who claimed Trump was going to end all wars and the Democrats were war hungry?

[–] dessalines@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 week ago

The democrats aren't also war hungry? Why did the Biden regime do this:

Why did the Obama regime do this?

After winning the Nobel peace prize, he dropped an average of 30k bombs / year (80 per day) during his presidency, mostly on Muslim countries, 2, 3. In 2016 alone, dropped 26,171 bombs in the Middle East and North Africa, up 3000 from the previous year. The countries bombed include Syria, Iraq, Yemen, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Libya, and Somalia.
