Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin are on the same page again.

The US and Russian presidents are now both singling out Europe as stasis envelops efforts to end the Ukraine war three weeks after their high-profile but low-impact summit in Alaska.

Trump called on Europe to do more in a call with European leaders on Thursday — even though the only incremental diplomatic activity to do with the war is coming from US transatlantic allies as they try to work out security guarantees to protect Ukraine after any peace deal.

And the rest of the world can agree that blame for Ukraine war lies squarely with russia...

To be fair, I blame the compiler as well when the shit I write doesn't work.

[–] r00ty@kbin.life 2 points 2 weeks ago

With rust, yes. Seriously guy it's obvious I'm only using one property, let's not block out the entire object. (yes I knows why)

With everything else, generally no.

But Trump blames Ukraine for the war for being so easy for Russia to invade.

[–] r00ty@kbin.life 12 points 2 weeks ago

It's pure doublethink. Ukraine shouldn't have been so easy to invade but also should just give up sovereign territory for peace.

Trump called on Europe to do more

Arm Ukraine to the fucking teeth? Got it.

Counties like France should just respond with peace terms stating that the U.S. gives Alaska back to Russia, Hungary gives Budapest to Russia, and Ukraine gets back their 2014 borders. Then when Trump and Orban say that's rediculous, they can say it's the same feeling they have deliberating on Ukraine giving up their lands to another country.

Trump and Orban must be anti peace if they don't want to go through with it based on Putin and Trump's logic

I agree with my boss, too, even when she's wrong.

[–] WanderingThoughts@europe.pub 29 points 2 weeks ago

Blame falls on Europe as Ukraine ~~peace effort languishes~~ not surrendering.

FTFY. And yeah, that's the whole idea of what Europe is doing.

[–] NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io 26 points 2 weeks ago

I blame Europe too, for dragging its feet on Ukrainian support and Russian sanctions. At a minimum, everything Europe is doing now should've been happening starting February 2022.

[–] Linktank@lemmy.today 22 points 2 weeks ago

Putin and his sock puppet agree?? SHOCKER!!

[–] Lumidaub@feddit.org 13 points 2 weeks ago

Putin is such a sad little meow meow, stop bullying him into this special military operation. 😢

Europe needs to put on their big boy pants and see Russia for what it is, a fucking monster than needs to be wiped off the face of the Earth.

I grew up under the constant threat of world-ending nuclear annihilation from those goddamned animals. Got a little better once the Soviet Union fell and the gangsters took over. And now we're almost back to square one.

Russia needs dismantled, with extreme violence. Anyway, that's why I got banned from reddit.

[–] ynthrepic@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

Most Russians are good people too. We've got to stop thinking in these kinds of terms or we'll never get along with each other long term.

We just need to stop all the violence and to mean it.

The problem is war is good for business and good for dictators. But even democratic nations talk a lot of shit. It's all dishonest.

Trump always agrees with Putin, since Trump is Putin's bitch.
