In 1938, British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain negotiated with Adolf Hitler to prevent war over Czechoslovakia. Chamberlain's efforts were part of the policy of appeasement.
Events
* Munich Crisis: Chamberlain traveled to Germany three times between September 15 and 30, 1938.
Imagine being so thirsty... he is the living embodiment of a Rom Com where someone just wants to be noticed by the lead character but are constantly put in the friend zone.
Russia Hoax huh? Putin owns Trump. With help from Musk we are now just another puppet fascist state under Russian control. If we ever escape from this coup, the enablers need to face their treason in the most medieval way.
"The enablers?" You mean the entire Republican Party? Do you mean the 70 million people, including 66% of all enlisted servicemen, who voted for him? Do you mean the Supreme Court? Do you mean all of the executives, and employees, of Newscorp and Newsmax?
Yes, Putin offered something: stop killing for the moment and share Ukraine's wealth with the USA. This way, Ukraine can grow economically by trading with the USA and prepare well to invade Europe.
The USA is making a fatal mistake because it is feeding Putin's evil and he will be a stronger enemy.
That's some seriously interesting negotiating strategy. They should have brought in Tony Schwartz, the ghostwriter of "The Art of the Deal" as an advisor (as he took Trump to the cleaners with his contract to write the book)
When Republican voters who saw the insurrection happen live and now believes it didn’t, it’s not a stretch to think that any kompromat would not be believed, either.
They have embraced a traitor and they are fully hitched to his wagon. They’ll believe what they’re told to.
I'm also fully convinced that MAGA, as well as most of not all other Trump voters, do not care about Ukraine. They may not know European/WWII history at all, or they just care more about their own lives. (Which is fair but shitty.) Trump can do anything with it and they DNGAF.
They have not known the outrage and the fear that Europe, England, and others have. That we did during WWll. Our memories are short, we don’t read, or read history. I don’t know if our population is capable of rallying for any cause at this point. They will GAF if it reaches our shores. Maybe.
Same about Musk. That $270+ million came with ropes, not strings. The only time you see the loud-mouthed, orange moron quiet is when Musk speaks. The freaking Art of the Deal and Steal.
Trump is a corporate raider, but of nations at this point. He sees aid, values and norms as a weakness to gaslight & leverage for quid pro quos. As he tears down his allies for gain, the American kleptocracy is pandemic, ISOLATE this diseased state, self BOYCOTT EVERYTHING!
He really rose to the occasion. I remember thinking he was just another celebrity politician before the 2022 invasion. “I need ammunition, not a ride” showed me who he really is.
And he should stick to it! Even without US weapons & support. Zelensky is a fighter and a hero. No amount of money or weapon can make a leader like him
Thank you to all of those fake patriots who proudly call themselves MAGA! You have undermined the safety of the world, including America by electing Putin’s bitch as your leader! Maybe you will be sufficiently pissed when you make a call & hear push 1 for Russia & 2 for English! Morons!
I'm sure Putin CAN believe his good fortune. Elon wasn't meeting him for nothing. He hasn't been in the Oval fielding press questions while Trump just sits there for nothing.
How shameful. Before Trump is done, we're going to have no allies and no friends. Only dictators who take advantage of the most corrupt president in US history.
“Believe his good fortune”? You’re right, I’m sure Putin was shocked by the outcomes he orchestrated in buying an election and buying a victory in a fight he’s been losing up until now.
Putin knew he would receive these concessions and that he would not need to offer anything. His ownership of Trump isn’t new, just more obvious. He has been gleeful since early November, I’m sure.
Although I have no proof, I seriously doubt if Putin offered nothing. I’m sure Trump got something in return whether it was monetary or support in his quest to become a dictator. America got nothing because Trump only cares about himself. @mcfaulmike.bsky.social
Crimea did vote and agree to secede from Ukraine and rejoin Russia but Ukrainian government said no then the war started. If governments listen to their own people that region could of rejoined Russia and no one had to die
Check your history.
Russia invaded Crimea and then annexed it.
They installed russian puppet authorities controlling everything.
Opened up Crimean land to Russian 'settlers' (bit like Israel in Gaza).
Then held 'elections' - no surprise the vote was to join russia.
Wrong answer.
Many of you defend an idea of Ukraine from nationalists and ultra-nationalists. They will never tell you about half of the population who feel closer to Russia.
He covets Gaza, intending to turn it into his personal real estate venture. Now, he seeks to carve up Ukraine’s mineral resources with Putin—not for the nation's benefit, but, just like with Gaza, solely for his family's gain. Do not harbor any illusions about him.

Netanyahu is calling their new plan of genoside/removal of the Gazan population "The Trump Plan". Trump just permitted Israel to murder every Gazan without any repercussions from the US, and with weapons from USA. Trump is a war monger and a traitor. When do americans rise up against the dictator???
If no one stops him, he will seize the nation and crown himself ruler of the dynasty. Do not underestimate his wickedness—he openly supports the war criminal Putin, betrays allies, sells out democracy, and lies as easily as he breathes. There is no line he won’t cross
If Ttump believes how lucky Canada would be if it became state 51. Image the glee in Putinland knowing that with just a little push ‘Merica becomes Soviet Sovereign territory.
I'm somehow reminded of that Episode of Friends where Joey proves the entertainment unit can fit a human, Chandler returns to a robbed apartment. #TheArtOfTheBenDover
Russia played the long game with Dumpy. They've been grooming him for decades because they know what a weakling he is and how to push his buttons. They got their money's worth with him and Tulsi. Destabilization of the US was a pipe dream until 2015.
Must be the video Putin has of Trump with prostitutes in Russia or some other deranged shit, either way he’s a f ing traitor to the US and a betrayer of Ukraine, Europe and all of our allies, maga are you proud?
Let me take that off your conscience, I wish ill will on him every min. of every day & I can wish ill will on more than 1 person at a time. Him & his billionaire buddies cause destruction, harm & death to people all over the world daily, so I don’t feel bad for wishing bad things upon them.
To react towards i tolerance with tolerance is to fall prey to the tolerance paradox.
In order for a tolerant world to remain, we must never tolerate the intolerant. To do anything else gives the intolerant a place to grow like a cancer, until it drowns out and kills tolerance as we know it.

putin probably now wishes trump was not the idiot he bribed and blackmailed to destroy the USA now that he is counting on him to bail him out of his "3-Day Special Military Op"
The real media (AKA the 5th Estate, not the 5th Columnists like FOX!) had better get on the stick and start flooding the airwaves with the strongest criticism of the current administration as possible!
Somebody tell Trump he doesn't own Ukraine and he has no right to decide to give part of the country to Putin. If Congress agrees to fund Ukraine, he is bound by law to do it. That will be blocked by ANY judge. I don't even think his poodles on SCOTUS can justify it.
So frightening . Trump is aligning with Putin and opposing Zelensky and our European allies. This needs to be opposed by all the former leaders in American policy! We need to have many of them speaking out. It is too important to allow unopposed!
Withdrawal of troops from all of europe feels insane to me. American world hegemony isn’t something I enjoy, but it’s what keeps this country stronger than everyone else. Why would the government pull out unless they want to make the country weaker?
But isnt a strong USA a primary goal for GOP?
Micheal McFaul is great. A true statesman (as they used to say). I can't believe he's still on Twitter, but he is what American diplomats are supposed to be.
They have been meeting without the US. They see the threat of Ukraine losing as just the beginning of Putin claiming more and more EU land. Because of Trump's arrogance, people are working on plans without them.
I hope so
Boost military production and industry
Sell old weapons to Ukraine and replace with new one
Once it is almost done sell new one to ukraine too
Use ruSSian frozen money for Ukraine
Raise aid to Ukraine by 50%
This will solve jobs and economy
Spot on. The time has come for EU leaders and the UK to put up a united front confirming increased financial aid and an unequivocal willingness to provide military support, including boots on the ground. Putin needs to feel fear and these actions could, in fact, *prevent* WW3.
So we are offering someone else’s land…never mind this other shit, in what business do we have offering someone else’s property? I also don’t think it’s safe to assume Putin would then stop at that territory! He would just push for more like he has been. Rubios an idiot.
Trump, so used to people bending easily to his will at home, taking action in anticipation of his actions - which is ridiculous on its own, trying to anticipate the actions of a mad king - so he thinks…?
Is he really that enamoured of Putin that he imagines he’s negotiating with a good faith equal?
We can’t disregard 10+ years of online automated state-level information warfare targeted at about half of Americans, and 25+ years of Murdoch warping Americans’ minds with his propaganda efforts. This was a long-term, deliberate operation, and it worked.
Much more sophisticated than the tools Hitler had available to him at the time, but yes, in essence the hearts and minds of many Americans were hijacked by fascists.
And because Fox has been blasted out of every tv on every military base, the armed forces have been brainwashed. So if and when it comes to banking on the military to oust him. Guess who they’ll side with !
Absolutely--fact, I'd say that's most to blame. They essentially created the appetite for Donald Trump and then created him. Wild to see a former Democrat intent on destroying his own country to pay a debt to Vladimir Putin.
So if a country does not have to be involved in decisions in their own destiny — so I suggest we ask for meeting with Europe and Canada and give them the United States…
I've seen interviews outside of maga rallies and the people have flat out said they preferred Putin to Biden 🥴 they're so brainwashed, reinforced by Fox, News Max et Al.
Trump is not interested in Ukraine. He just wants to stop the involvement of the US. In that sense it isn’t really a negotiation. He is just explaining to Putin what he is going to do.
The money for Ukraine stays in the US, manufacturing equipment for them impacts nearly every state. Investment and jobs will disappear, another attack on our workers and industry.
In the next one, you might want to add some children. There's historic pictures of the 6 year olds that worked in coal mines in the US. Considering Arkansas's governor, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, supports child labour.
HELL NO! THERE WILL NOT BE PEACE IN OUR TIME! When the First Felon and Putin carve up Europe, there will be WW3. Because our President never read a history book, he will be repeating all of the mistakes that landed us in previous wars. Maybe, that's what they really want.
I feel sick . I’ve felt despair I’ve felt anger I’ve felt sadness . Trump giving us away to Putin is nauseating. How are so many standing by and helping him do this ?
Over the last four years, you could see Republicans change from defending Ukraine to calling them Nazis and refusing to help them. Biden did nothing to change that.
He was too busy helping Israel with their genocide.
2 years ago, every NATO country should’ve halted all work, travel and student visas out of Russia to their countries, except humanitarian aid.
Elite Russians continued to travel to their vacation propertoes & travel into Russia didn’t cease.
If Trump is such a deal maker why didn't he go to Saudi Arabia? Also, Trump wants Putin to come here. Last time I checked he has a warrant from ICC, wouldn't he be taken into custody? Oh wait, Trump would protect him.
I wish journalists would ask Trump directly what is Putin offering or giving up as part of this supposedly incredible peace deal? Put the traitorous idiot on the back foot.
If the withdrawing American troops caveat isn’t an indication of Putin’s intent to invade further European territories, I really don’t know what would be?
#USSA
I stand with Ukraine and President Zelenskyy against Dictators Trump and Putin.
I WISH America still had a decent President with integrity, who didn't disgrace America by lying, cheating and stealing from our Allies and our neighbors.
Shame on us the United States, we knew this was coming. NATO countries need to come together for their own security’s. Force Trump’s hand and stop giving into the bully. The more you try to appease, the more he’s going to extract from you. Removing US troop from Europe is giving you to Putin and NK
It's not "caving". Trump is on team Putin and has always been. He doesn't CAVE to Putin, because that implies resistance. They are on the same team. They always were.
Stupidity is just as lethal as treachery in this context. Trump is either a traitor and Putin lackey, or he is too dumb to represent us. Doesn't really matter which.
Putin's finally getting payback for allegedly crashing the helicopter containing Trump employees en route to depositions about alleged casino money laundering in the 1980s-90s.
Who the hell is Trump to negotiate on Ukraine’s behalf. If I was Zelensky I wouldn’t trust anything that Trump says. He is a Nazi dictator who is in cahoots with Putin!
Trump can't negotiate anything....his driving in circles around the Daytona race track is who he is and it keeps him happy. Musk is in charge and has been meeting with Putin for a long time...coordinating the theft of our government and his take over
I believe that they can now call themselves Russians. I will,from now on, call them Russians.
I think the Gulf of Stalin sounds better than the Gulf of America.
