Trump Zelensky today.....

Every President since Reagan, except Trump, has said we will defend Taiwan. President Trump, always the outlier, hasn’t said we will or won’t.

In the meantime INDOPACOM continues to prepare to defend Taiwan if necessary, continues to send US Navy warships on Freedom of Navigation transits through the Strait of Taiwan which the PRC falsely claims as territorial waters, continues to patrol the South China Sea which the PRC falsely claims is their sea, and continually surveil the PRC for unusual military activity. Our military also conducts defense of Taiwan exercises with Taiwan’s military. The PRC is convinced we will defend Taiwan. If President Trump ever says we won’t it sets the stage for war.
Ostensibly, Ego Man wants world peace so let’s hope he’s not stupid about that. Sounds like basically all he has to do is keep his trap shut for once and not twiddle his thumbs.

Hey genius, has anyone asked him if he’s willing to defend Taiwan?
 
How many dead bodies would be enough for you?
They are Ukrainian bodies and Russian bodies. If Ukraine still has the stomach to ward off an invasion that violates international treaties, we should help them do so. Not the USA funding it alone, but as part of a coalition with our allies (well, our REAL allies, not our apparently new ally, Russia)

and when trump hands Ukraine over to Putin how many will he kill?

when a trump enabled Putin takes on the next country...how many will he kill?
 
It used to be easy to explain war fatigue, Americans drew tired of having their children die.

It turns out it isn't Americans dying that causes war fatigue since there are not Americans dying. It is cost. It is that we will pay no price for liberty. Putin is pouring in Russia's treasure AND children and we lack the will to send our older castoff equipment.

I can see where China would get the idea Taiwan is free for the taking.
It’s not just us. Look at the numbers for Western Europe.
 
Singed, sealed, delivered.


Let’s tamp down the histrionics please all. Whether Ukraine, tariffs, DOGE I’d advise a wait and see approach until the dust clears.

Rest easy, the adults are back in charge.

Could be good news but why does the man hate basic math. Overstates DOGE savings. Overstates US support for Ukraine. Just ridiculous.

"This country has stuck with them through thick and thin," Trump said. "We've given them much more than Europe, and Europe should have given more than us."

I have yet to hear how signing that, which he would have Friday had things not devolved, means a whole lot. The argument is centered around 1) what will Ukraine give up 2) what security guarantees does she get.

I do not at all believe the conspiracy theory below, but I know some of you love a good conspiracy theory. Here is the beginning of one I saw a friend repost on Facebook:

“Trump was ordered by Putin to get Zelenskyy to sign the deal for 50% of Ukraine’s minerals so Trump could then turn around and partner with Putin to extract them. Putin would claim Russian industrial companies have been invited by the Americans with binding legal contracts to move into all of Ukraine. Putin would insist Russian businesses need protection of soldiers to honor contracts and provide security. The whole thing was treason. The entire meeting was a setup for Ukrainian Anschluss.​
Again, I do not believe for a moment that's going to happen, but given many here believe every conspiracy they see I just think they deserve the right to believe this one.
 
Trump did not enable the start of the war (Sleepy Joe did), but Trump will clean it up. Zelensky was not ready for peace a week ago (after talking to dem Chris Murphy) but now is. This is what big boy diplomacy looks like. So Biden enables Putin to start the war but then dems complain about method in how Trump ends it. Typical.
Actually, Oblameless took a lot of grief due to his refusal to follow the garden path that Nuland, McCain, Chris Murphy,Miss Lindsay Graham and other neocons relentlessly pushed him towards. It was PDJT who released Javelins and other more advanced systems for Ukraine. PDJT stopped listening to the pigs of war after watching the inept management of the 'Special Military Operation ' opposition, bought, trained, equipped by NATO Equipment, logistics , training, and plenty of $$$.

Inept management? Ukraine is still a sovereign nation.

Or as the kids say: SCOREBOARD

Unbelievably stupid. The inept military here is the Russian military.

For your edification:

Karkive will get a lot of attention in the next few weeks

Not the good kind

The never-ending Special Military Operation that almost got Putin killed by his former caterer?

Great Success Win GIF
 
Meanwhile.
Russian. Military have moved further into Sumy Oblast and threatening the western Ukro flank in Kursk, increasing pressure on Karkive.

Had Kyiv surrounded, now just nibbling at edges. Russia could still get a great deal but their performance militarily has been an outright disaster. A coup attempt, running out of bullets, having NK soldiers shipped in by train — a lesson in how not to run a war— er, special military operation.

What good is taking Ukraine if it kills every.single.Russian?
 
I'm sorry - what? Did Joe Biden sneak Russian state media into the Oval Office yesterday?

This type of vapid reply is why no one takes you seriously.
He/she/it doesn't seek to be taken seriously.

He/she/it only wants to disrupt any discussion of real issues and create clicks.

"Lucy" could be banned on this ground alone under the posted Forum Rules, but the PTB would rather have that user enhance the user base numbers and generate clicks. That user has long ago stopped being entertaining and still wanders into the realm of racist, sexist and generally offensive. The PTB don't care (obviously).
