Summary
In a Fox News interview, Donald Trump argued that Ukraine should not have resisted Russia’s 2022 invasion, claiming Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy should have made a deal with Vladimir Putin.
Trump criticized Zelenskyy for choosing to fight, compared the military strength of Russia and Ukraine, and said he could have ended the war quickly through negotiations.
Trump’s stance contrasts with Joe Biden’s strong support for Ukraine, including aid and sanctions on Russia.
So president of a nation that has the motto “give me liberty or give me death” is saying this.
The people who voted for him tend to prefer “Don’t tread on me” which makes it even more ironic.
Any time I see those stickers, flags or license plates I have a deep urge to reenact the curb stomping scene from American History X using the person who has it/them.
Well yeah, the full saying is “Don’t tread on me, tread on ukraine instead”. They just shortened it
This is literally all the “anti war” arguments. George Washington should have just stopped resisting the red coats.
Washington was part of a revolution. This is an invasion. More like Russia should have just let Napoleon have it.
Sure, but that makes it entirely unrelatable to the Americans making these arguments.
Fair enough. How about this?
It’s like letting the SCARY EVIL (mysteriously suddenly nonexistent) IMMIGRANT MEXICAN CARAVAN INVADERS just come in and have the US.
Are they eating our pets though?
Obviously. That’s what brown people do, right? The clearly authoritative (checks notes) rich white Nazi on TV told me.
Not if you eat them first!
I wish I could eat my puppies and have their scruffy faces and waggy tails with me all the time! Petting them would be difficult…

- Seriously, stop crying. If you don’t stop crying in gonna start crying
- WHY ARE WE DOING THIS??? THEY’RE SO CUTE AND INNOCENT!!!

The end.
It’s kind of a revolution though because it all started with Maydan and the ousting of Russian puppet Yanukovitch.
Really? So, Mexico can take back what they lost and the USA will not resist.
If by that you mean Texas? Please take it back.
Only if they take Florida also. Package deal.
Actually, they can have all the Gulf states.
Aren’t most of the Golf states land locked?
golf states
What about states where they play other sports ?
But Lousiana was French.
Donald Trump argued that Ukraine should not have resisted Russia’s 2022 invasion
*Trump was an idiot as usual, arguing (…)
Convicted rapist says victims shouldnt fight back
This just confirms that Zelenskyy has a way bigger ball count than Trump by two.
Well yeah, and now he’s taking this move from Putin’s playbook for Greenland. He’s at the “people in Greenland would rather be US citizens” stage. Putin did the same thing in the beginning when talking about the territories in Ukraine he wanted to take.
Honestly I’m more worried about the NATO 5% thing which is blatantly designed to fracture the alliance.
The number was 2%, and many didn’t hit that. 5% is never going to happen and is going to be Trump’s cause to pull out, mark my words. Thankfully Congress put some stops in there, but doesn’t mean Trump can’t fuck things up bigly.
Ukraine can schlump along with NATO sans USA, but no NATO and Ukraine is finished.
If European countries somehow manage 5 percent, it’s Europe that should step out of NATO. At this moment I am half convinced it’s better to have a strategic alliance with China than with Trump.
Europe wouldn’t even need additional allies if they were all spending that much.
As a Canadian, good. I’ll worry a lot less about American invasion if we have our own separate NATO

Yo. You know. Screw him. Slava Ukraini!!!

I’m kinda getting a “if you’re getting raped just lay back and take it” vibe from this.
“They’re saying ‘the war is tomorrow’ – this causes panic on the market and elsewhere," Zelensky, Jan 2022 in response to US warnings of imminent Russian invasion.
Zelensky didn’t “choose to fight” because Russia insisted there would be no fight right up until it crossed the border. It would’ve been considered a sneak attack but for the US telling everyone Russia was invading for a full month in advance. There was no choice offered to Zelensky and never has been since, unless you count Russia’s current stance of basically “give us all your weapons and maybe then we’ll negotiate”/
Your leader is stupid and a complete wuss.
Your leader.
Our President. By election. He isn’t wanted by many, and is definitely no leader.
It’s easy to say don’t fight back when you’re not the one getting beaten up and mugged
Well, what was Ukraine wearing? Maybe they were asking for it?
Obviously /s
Of course the convicted felon would say that Ukraine should just lie down and let Russia grab 'em by the country.
