so putin fighting against ukraine for territory means america is surrendering. wut?
Lol, he's offering Russia part of Ukraine AND America now, while buying right into Russia's propaganda that Alaska should belong to Russia too?
Even though we could literally kick Russia out whenever we wanted with adequate military aid.
What a weak little bitch.
Everything makes sense if you begin all conversations assuming he's a russian asset.
The art of the deal!
Krasnov hopes to please Putin at his performance review.
Shut up! This is what WINNING looks like! /s
There is genuinely a world where "Why do you keep going to war? Fear of a lack of resources? Let's make a deal to prioritize some paid contracts to you so that we can create an economic dependence and have a bigger lever the next time you are a dumb shit" is the outcome and... that would be a genuinely beautiful outcome and a long term solution to putin. Yes, it is rewarding "bad behavior". But anything short of a full military occupation AND continued occupation (rather than leaving a puppet regime to get taken out by insurrection five minutes after we leave) is just kicking the can down the road.
But this is trump and he has never found a business he couldn't bankrupt. So just give strong daddy putin the state that sort of limits his actions and all the resources in exchange for... turning Ukraine into Gaza.
Make America Russia Again?
MARA-Lago
Wait, he was willing to take Greenland by force for their resources, and now he's giving up America's?? Was he just planning on turning Greenland over to Putin in the first place?
Was he just planning on turning Greenland over to Putin in the first place?
Shipping/ocean-going routes, yes. He was.
He just wants to make sure all the world’s resources are being exploited by someone—he doesn’t care who.
He’s really going all in on distracting from Epstein.
Nobody will be talking about what I did last night if I just walk in and shit my pants
Pweeeeease stop the war. I'll give you stuff to stop the war.
Weakling bitch.
Fuck no.
In a less broken society, Trump would be on trial right now for treason.
He's going to give Alaska back to Russia and apologize for buying it for 4 million because the then pres was a dem.
OK so... Not that its stopped him before, but can he legally do this? Is this within the powers of the presidency?
Nope. Congress does. But we know Congress is weak, compromised, and ineffectual at this point.
So, that means Putin has copies of the Epstein Papers and recordings to blackmail Trump with? It's ALL about the Epstein Papers.
Maybe he wants Russia's help taking over Canada. You know, get them to play bad cop so Trump can play good cop offering protection, for a price.
It's a nice country you've got there; it'd be a shame if it were invaded by those Russians at the border...
Okay. I've seen links to this a few times now...
Didn't we buy Alaska from Russia? (Yes we did)
This is either the weirdest case of buyer's remorse, or yet another ginned up controversy.
Hey, should France join some kind of war to ask for Louisiana ?
What is with this article? I've read previous pravda UA articles that were good, but this one just seems like something an LLM spat out after being asked to summarize the cited Telegraph article. There is no additional context offered, everything is in this list-like/chopped up format, and the last subheading ("conclusion" I presume) seems to have been left in Ukrainian or Russian (I can't read either). At least one quote wasn't even properly attributed to anyone. My guess then is that it's just a direct copy-paste of an LLM response. I hope this is just a single "journalist" not doing their job rather than a trend at the outlet.
They keep saying these things are a distraction. From what? Not like the american public is doing anything notably effective otherwise.
If Trump could chortle Putins shrivelled ball sack any harder, he’d probably be sent back in time to the 1980’s when he was recruited as a Russian spy.
Jesus Fucking Christ Americans are weak.
Ah, Pravda. Pravda is like FOX News Russia for the uninitiated.
You may want to check that TLD again.
Wrong Pravda bud. This is the Ukrainian one.
