So they’ve been Americanized. Isn’t this the degeneracy we not only promote, but encourage? Free love maaaaaaaan.
I wish they could get a little more help. Fighting against russia plus Iran and North Korea is not easy. A lot of people in the West are encouraging them to negotiate and give up territory but I think these same people would live to regret that encouragement to russian aggression.
I agree - unfortunately Trump is going to do everything he can to undercut Ukraine in support of his master putin!
France just gave Ukraine 6 mirage jets and Taiwan gave them a lot of missles and missile launchers they had bought from the US...the world is not going to stand by and let N Korea and Russia invade soveriegn nations for long...they've dropped one bomb in Poland and one in Estonia already. If it keeps up, NATOs gloves will come off.
The question will be: will the Trump admin merely pull out of Ukraine, or will it start actively supporting Russia?
From what I can tell they will just close the checkbook. Trump is not popular with NATO leaders at all so they'll move on without him having any say in what they do anyway. I think the GOP is going to be spending money building a domestic police state. Putin wants Trump to take on the "enemies within" meaning the enemies of Russia, China, N Korea and Iran
I think they're going to go full on isolationist for the next 4 years. It sucks. Hopefully there are a few adults in the room that can manipulate the child in chief to do the right thing once in a while.
Russia is going to suddenly end up with NATO's entire defense playbook. It will be "leaked" to the press that this has happened and it was someone in the US who did it. Trump will be offended, how dare you accuse the US of such a terrible thing? While clutching his pearls, he will announce that the US isn't being treated fairly and is leaving NATO. He will also announce a 200% tariff on everything IKEA sells and Swiss Miss Instant Cocoa.
Putin Slashes Soldiers' Payouts as Russia's Losses in Ukraine Skyrocket Russia will reduce payments to troops injured in Vladimir Putin's full-scale invasion of Ukraine as his government faces ballooning war costs and huge personnel losses. A Kremlin decree introduced Wednesday and signed by the Russian president restricts medical payouts of 3 million rubles ($30,000) to those who suffer severe injuries in combat. Previously the sum was available to anyone wounded. Now those with less severe injuries will only get between one million rubles ($10,000) and 100,000 rubles ($1,000). Under the Kremlin's new guidelines, soldiers will only receive full compensation if they suffer "Section I" injuries that endanger their life or health or cause significant damage to their organs, such as severe spinal injuries, brain damage, rib fractures and broken limbs. https://www.newsweek.com/russia-ukraine-war-troops-losses-1985722
For all their bluster, Russia looks extremely weak for sure. This is why I think Putin is counting on Trump to support him instead of just not supporting Ukraine.
They have more nukes than any country on earth besides us...I wouldn't see them as extremely weak considering their arsenal. We have fewer than they have. Correction...we have more warheads than they do by a few hundred. I think they have more ICBMs than we do..have to double check.
