If Trump wants to see elections in Ukraine, all he has to do is use the power he keeps talking about to get the Russian invaders off Ukrainian soil. Then martial law in Ukraine ends, and elections will follow.

I spent ~2 weeks trying to cancel it. Always got “there was an error, try again later.” Finally, just changed the profile to meaningless garble and signed out.
If Musk was able to rig the election in Trump’s favour, (hard to say if the truth will ever be known,) then what is to stop Trump/Musk from election interference in Ukraine?
Between 2016 & ‘24, Trump’s behavior has evolved notably. In 2016, his speeches were concise and focused, emphasizing economic policies and national security. By 2024, they became longer, more disjointed, and increasingly fixated on past grievances, with a rise in negative and profane language. 🤔
How quickly trump and his MAGA cultists forgot about his supposed power to stop pootin with one phone call. All he seems to do with his dictator idols is beg for their attention
What's the best thing we can do as individuals for Ukraine right now? I just read Zelensky is also a lawyer. That explains a lot. One of the few lawyers who are "good ones." He's not just a singing, acting, dancing populist.
the best thing you can do is keep talking about Ukraine with your social circles, donate, and if possible come here and do some volunteer work and see this amazing country first-hand
He wants Zelenskyy gone BEFORE the cease-fire so Putin and Trump can negotiate with a friendly Russian-backed Ukrainian leader and they can then carve up all the minerals and energy resources between them. Impossible to negotiate with a man like Zelenskyy, he has morals and courage and conviction!
His new DNI, Tulsi Gabbard, is literally parroting Kremlin propaganda about Ukrainian elections on TikTok, blatantly misrepresenting what law & the constitution there require.
I hope our European friends have cut off all intel-sharing, now that this cultish lunatic is overseeing our intel agencies.
Trump's bromance with Putin is the worst geopolitical own goal since czar Peter III of Russia's one-sided love affair with King Fredrick of Prussia. Btw, Peter was a "mad king" par excellence.

Winston Churchill — 'You were given the choice between war and dishonour. You chose dishonour, and you will have war.' - To Neville Chamberlain aka donald trump
I know one should be careful with such diagnoses, but as plenty psychologists already framed it that way: I think he much rather is a pathological narcissist, at the very least, and he is on no side except his own.
SIGN your strike card! SHARE IT ON ALL SOCIAL MEDIA! We need 11 million to make this work! We can do it! We MUST save our country from the ruthless wannabe dictators! If we don't fight like hell, we may not have a country anymore! Sound familiar? Cripple the crooked!!
If an election was held today, and Zelensky ran, doesn't he have a quite good chance to win? (Not that running an election now is a serious idea, there are many reasons it's better to hold off)
For a foreseeable future, Ukraine can't even organise elections. Millions of people are missing. Millions are abroad with refugee status. Parts of Ukraine are occupied by a hostile Russia. Also, the former opposition agrees that Zelenskyy is doing a good job. It is up to Ukraine, not up to Trump.
I'm amazed at the lack of push-back to the claim by Josh Hawley and others of his ilk that Britain held elections in WW2. Not until five months after Germany surrendered were lections conducted. No country under attack or occupied by the enemy held elections. Shameful this stuff is even said.
Talk of elections is dishonest framing anyway. Putin, like Saddam Hussein or Bashar Al Assad did, holds elections but can’t be removed by them. So pretending Zelensky is less legitimate is like arguing Churchill during WW2 was less legitimate than Saddam.
When she's told to. Listen to what she said regarding that subject. Great play on words. It's over. Nothing along normal lines will ever stop what's happening.
What are you trying to do here? Give us examples of the 'old' normalcy?
Only our Republicans can stop this and they won't. Listen to the Senators on the various insanity subjects. It's over. No one, Lankford, no one will say anything. They're all useless chodes.
Bondi will prosecute Judges.
The purpose of the war, which Biden provoked by offering Ukraine NATO membership, was to 1. "Weaken Russia" and 2. Ensure EU and Russia don't become partners, which would threaten the US goal of global hegemony. Trump threatens peace and an end to these goals.
says the person who believes the "NATO provoked Russia to invade Ukraine" lie. Russia invades every neighbor they can if they are unprotected. they are an empire bent on conquest. viewing them otherwise is proof that you don't see who they are.
nope I don't watch either of those. but I do read history and study politics. and I live in Ukraine. "forever war" arguments are from people who have no knowledge about this part of the world, the consistent history of broken treaties that neighbors of the conquesting empire have experienced.
I’ve been following you for a decade. Do you think Trump is on Russia’s side or the side of Western democracies? I think he’s declared he’s on the other team.
Sadly free and fair would be the first time in history of Russia.
They came almost straight from tzardom to the Soviet system and then what, Jeltzin? That was far from fair as was Putin.
That's one of the main problems of Russia in my mind that it never knew stable democracy.
I think that's actually their point. the criticism of Ukraine is that they haven't had an election during wartime. and those same people whining about it don't seem to have any problem that Russia has never had an (uncorrupt) election.
It is a waste of time trying to apply logic to what Trump says and does. You won’t get through to a single MAGA person with logic. Coherent arguments are an indicator of deception or weakness.
RED ALERT: Mitch McConnell and his cowardly senate & house Republican cohorts had ample opportunities to remove the despicable, lawless and compulsive liar: our now Convicted Felon President, CFPOTUS. Thanks to these violating oath of office Republicans, our nation’s democracy is now in grave peril!
Again this if they, if Trump, as if they care anything other than their own power. We are getting distracted into Trump's nonsense. We "need" to figure out how we are going to enforce the US constitution that protects the least of us. IMO
trump wants elections in Ukraine now because he knows how effective Russian interference in elections is and has been since 2016, so Russia could maybe do the same in Ukraine and putin would only have to spend a little money to take over the country, rather than the thousands of lives it has cost!
This! This important fact eludes so many news storys about this topic. People write about it as if the practicalities are the main hindrance, without also mentioning it is in fact unconstitutional.

Two Ukrainian oppositional leaders: Petro Poroshenko and Yulia Tymoshenko (both hate Zelensky and hate each other) have publicly supported Zelensky, said his term prolongation is legit until the end of the war, and said elections are impossible now.
Currently, Putin's invasion has stalled out in south-eastern Ukraine, essentially where they started, so that sort of screws with what Donald wants, which is half of Ukraine's valuable natural resources, which exist in south-eastern Ukraine.
Otherwise, Donald Trump could give a shit.
What Trump doesn't understand is that he's not just dealing with Zelensky, he's dealing with the whole Ukrainian nation that elected him, that's how democracy works. And the Ukrainians will resist and fight for their freedom no matter what happens
The best, solution is quit simple indeed, but Europe is able to do the same, if they send there airforce to support, Ukrainina troops, Russia, is off ukrainin soil, within a month. But they do not, they support Ukraine with, meetings and words. And that is not gonna help.

A new co-puppet: a Putin loyalist.
The new head honcho will be expected to (and will comply with) Putin keeping what he has annexed, and giving the US mineral rights in Ukraine.
If he'd only gotten therapy. 🤔
Sadly, denial is a common symptom of above. ☝️
I hope our European friends have cut off all intel-sharing, now that this cultish lunatic is overseeing our intel agencies.
2. Freeze all unnecessary spending.
3. Get your flu shots ASAP.

He doesn’t have any rights to do any of this.
He’s a felon rapist traitor
Maybe Zelenskyii should say that to him. I don’t listen to traitors Mr. trump
Just like Putin did in the US.

What do the US and Ukrainian constitution have in common?
A:
Trump did not read them.
