Plays dumb. Helps cause Ukraine's fall. Says "Whoops!" Opens Trump Towers Moscow. Shrugs.

A rigged "election," with the military going door to door asking how a household votes.

You say that like it's a bad thing. Coming soon to a US election near you!

More BS from Trump. To cover for whatever his next pro-Russia action will be.

Probably lifting all sanctions against Russia because Ukraine tricked Putin into bombing Kyiv, or some such nonsense.

Trump Claims 200 Trade Deals Completed, Won't Say with who

I think he's way undercounting. He engaged in at least that many trade deals with Melania to get her into bed with him.

My point remains - the status quo isn't working. It's not.
Who says it isn't "working"?

So do we engage in the definition of insanity and keep doing the same thing expecting different results?
The same result is fine by me. More dead Russians and reduced military strength.

If not, we either escalate or broker a truce.

You posit a false dichotomy. You seem resolute on disregarding at least one other option: forcing Russia to continue fighting a war of attrition with Ukraine. Ukraine, which wishes to continue defending itself. Leaving Russia markedly weaker with every man/tank/personnel carrier that Ukraine takes out. At zero risk to the lives of American troops and a much lower monetary cost than if we did the deed ourselves. Which most Americans would see as a positive.

Almost like you, much like your chosen Orange Traitor President, wish to force Ukraine to surrender so you can strengthen Russia.

I am looking at a pragmatic approach. Ukraine cannot win unless NATO puts boots on the ground.

Yes, and that's why Afghanistan is now part of the Soviet Union.

You speak with great certainty for a citizen of a country that has had its butt handed to it numerous times by outmatched nations that decided it was better to fight than to surrender.

A war of attrition does Russia no favors
And, contrary to what Trump might murmur out of the corner of his mouth while slurping on Putin's manhood, Putin is not immortal.

Scared? No. Do you want perpetual war and possibly WWIII for Ukraine?
That argument can be used for appeasing any and all Russian aggression, no matter which one of our allied nations it is targeted at. Assuming you even believe that we have such a thing as allies in this world Trump has demanded you adopt. Other than Russia, I mean.

Do you want to change that metric and go to war?
I want us to supply Ukraine with all the tools they require to defend themselves. Just like China, North Korea, and Iran are doing for Russia to help it in its war of aggression. Or is sticking up for others only permissible when Putin is the beneficiary?

Are you completely unconcerned with their nuclear stockpile?

I think I smell Orange Chicken. Reagan and Thatcher would be proud.

Folding like a house of cards because your traitorous cowardly leader demands it. Because Trump wants something from Russia that can only be purchased by the US abandoning its allies and position of world leadership.

Grassley is trying to shame Trump into increasing sanctions against Russia.

Meanwhile Trump is trying to blame Ukraine for Russia's continued war crimes and refusal to make peace. To give Trump cover to lift sanctions on Russia. Because that's Trump's true goal. To strengthen Russia and attack Ukraine.

I don't know if that's how it will actually play out but it seems like the least worse course of action to me.

Are you scared? It's sounds like you and the rest of the MAGAts are scared.

Do you remember when it was that you learned to tuck your tail between your legs and tremble in fear at the sight of Russians? I think I have a pretty good idea. Might have been around the time you learned to worship Bone Spurs as a sign of divine providence.

End of the day, Putin's Bitch proves that he is exactly what we always knew him to be. And the MAGAts love his Poohty-sucking cowardice.

Guy is so unreliable that his wife has to chaperone him at work. Exactly the type we want as our Sec Def. No chance he'll spill the beans on national security deets during his next relapse.

I guess it's the best the MAGAts could do. They don't have a particularly deep bench for competence when the pre-req is blind loyalty to an insurrectionist, adjudicated rapist, convicted felon whose most important professional skill is orally pleasuring the thieving Moscow Midget.

US Growth Forecast to Be Hit Hardest from Tariffs, IMF Says

If anyone deserves it ... electing that corrupt, pedo, incompetent, felon, adjudicated rapist to our highest office.

Ukraine was wearing that short skirt, and Vlad is too manly a man not to rape her and kill her children and family. So, obviously Ukraine's Fault(tm).

I'm sure Polio Kennedy Jr. will have helpful advice.

There's CorkyDaBigot hoping for more mass deaths for no reason.

Apparently protecting a democratic nation's sovereignty from fascist dictatorship is "no reason" according to the self-declared "Bernie Bro" who is definitely not a paid Russian troll.

The orange pustule makes Neville Chamberlain look like a badass.

At least Chamberlain sold the flesh of others for temporary peace because the UK was too weak to take on Hitler at the time.

There is no doubt that the US and its allies could defeat Russia. Only thing lacking is US political will, because Trump loves being Putin's Bitch.

Surprising absolutely no one that Trump is helping the rich get richer. At the expense of retirees.

"Me swallowing for Putin instead of spitting is a big concession."
-Trump

Begs Putin, while trying to order around the rest of the world including century-long allies. And embarrasses himself by publicly mistreating the leader of a democratic nation bravely fighting Russian fascism.

Nobel Peace Price for Trump? Never.

There might be an Ignoble prize or two is his future, though.

Sound's like Pooh Bear wants Putin's Bitch to also become China's Bitch.
