It's tragic that during the 2024 election, so many Americans didn't even consider Russia's brutal victimization of Ukraine, Trump's obvious indifference to UKR vs. Kamala's commitment to Ukraine's defense, or that a Trump win would help Putin conquer & destroy Ukraine.

Putin's eating him for lunch.

Astonishing that anyone is surprised, or rather one gigantic reason that America is now controlled by Republican authoritarians is that so many people seem to believe some fantasy about them. #GOPTrumpRevengeRegime

Trump and his criminal regime toadies are Russian puppets. If only someone could have warned people years ago.

Ukraine would be better off relying more on a Europe that has finally awakened to the threat (and to the betrayal across the Atlantic), and less on the entity that has possessed its former ally. Possessed, we hope temporarily.

Russians do not want "negotiate" with Europe. They want the US.

I'm wondering if the US has now gone well over the tipping point to which telling them to f%&k off is actually the most reasonable and level-headed option.

String them along until they are not needed. TFG can’t even imagine that Zel going elsewhere for the support is an option. He thinks they’re locked in. He’s a fool.

Why does Trump want to deal with these Russian terrorists? He is NOT pushing for peace. He is capitulating to the killers of children.

Because Trump is also a terrorist, and a domestic enemy of the USA. That's why when he first tanked the markets with his attack tariffs he went to play golf and celebrate with the people who attacked us on 9/11.

As a US citizen… I tell Ukraine to SAY NO!!!!

jeffvazsr.bsky.social•17 hours ago

This current administration that did NOT win by a mandate does not have the backing of the vast majority of US citizens. Push back on all the tyranny that is being pushed at you. Say no. Dissent. Don’t sway from your opinions and be vocal. The citizens are with you. Our government is not. Be 💪

popovaprof.bsky.social•1 day ago

It’s not the word. The ask itself is ridiculous and unhelpful

ibitpichu.bsky.social•1 day ago

Not really. it's pretty clear that the future includes russia at the present. Levers of control are hard to come by. And like Obama said Russia is a O&G and war state.

popovaprof.bsky.social•1 day ago

Not sure what that means. There’s no reason for the US to take over the pipeline from Ukraine. It doesn’t help Ukraine, it doesn’t help end the war, and it doesn’t help contain Ru

ibitpichu.bsky.social•1 day ago

Oh didnt know we were 'taking it from UA'

probably a shit ass demand from Russia

To me it is clear by now that the US is totally deranged. Probably the best approach for other countries is to ignore what they are saying as much as possible and focus on making ourselves independent from them.

doriandre.bsky.social•12 hours ago

I'm in the US. I wrote the EU recommending they sue us over the DOGE data breach on behalf of the 4+ million EU citizens who work in the US. I hope that would help their citizens but also help us. I didn't hear back but one can hope.

fknwow.bsky.social•12 hours ago

I just hope Ukraine will refuse any and all insane demands, and actually doesn't sign anything with this fascist trump maga regime " deal", because there is nothing positive there for Ukraine, and everything is for trump's bank accounts.
Shame on the thugs and bullies in the white house!

popovaprof.bsky.social•12 hours ago

They are clear-eyed and will refuse anything that crosses their red lines. But they have to be careful and cautious in dealing w Trump because they can't afford him turning fully against them

fknwow.bsky.social•12 hours ago

No matter what Ukraine does, the fascist orange ding-dong is going to be against it, because he is a fkn fascist and admires another fascist, mass murderer, and a war criminal pootin. So, just drag this disastrous for Ukraine " deal" out, not signing it, and then see....

ajcoog.bsky.social•16 hours ago

"U.S. demands..." The last time Trump demanded anything of Zelinski, he was impeached. This time, Congress shrugs. Also, the EU is diligently weaning itself off the Russian gas tit, which no longer flows through Ukraine. So what does Trump need with a dead pipeline? https://shorturl.at/UOBJY

irish-norgie.bsky.social•16 hours ago

Oh? Not our pipeline. Leave it alone. On Ukrainian territory? They can control it.

Zelensky should tell Trump to pound sand. The price of oil is tanking. Putin is losing rubles.
Zelensky has no reason to help Tump or Putin.
