[Politics] Russia invades Ukraine (24/02/2022)

[beorhthelm]

No idea if any truth or more speculation but "Trump is a Russian" is trending on X and this looks interesting if true?

yeah, he's been a sleeper agent pretending to do business (hence so many failures?), then TV, before fluking an entry to politics. signs all there.
obvious Russian disinformation, i'm surprised how much people want to absorb. Trump is an incoherent, narcissist, not the Manchurian candidate.

I wish they'd stop talking about a 'feud' and 'fallout' and so on between Trump and Zelensky.

As far as I can see it's all one-way. All Zelensky has said is that Trump lives in a misinformation bubble.

 

[raymondo]

I wonder if these clever people have clarified what sort of billion the US is demanding...a US billion or a European billion?

Yeah they are. Trump is a greater threat to democracy than Putin.

Exactly.

The response from Trump to Zelensky has been way, way beyond what any normal person would reasonably expect. He is trying to humiliate Zelensky. Why? Something else is going on.

The other thing I noticed is the complaint against the G7 using the phrase 'Russian aggression'. Again, very prickly, very sensitive. And doing everything possible to curry favour with Russia. Why?

He is trying to please* the aggressor and blame the victim.

Unforgivable.

Edit: I think I meant appease, but maybe both are valid, and both are entirely the wrong response.

Some of us here are are a little innocent - what was Hitler into?

Apparently he liked his niece to poop on him amongst other things.

So the next step, presumably, is to demand why the f*** Trump has his nose so far up Putin's arse!

 

[marlowe]

The US have now signalled they want to leave the international effort to try Putin for his war crimes. Its no surprise really.

Would that be the arrest warrant issued by the ICC, the same organisation that the USA already isn’t a signatory of?

 

[GoldstoneVintage]

At this rate it certainly isn't going to be a 'just peace'. Vance has just said publicly that Ukraine can't expect much because it has no credible way of winning. I think it's time for Zelensky to order his military to hit all Russia's oil terminals.

It's very, very odd.

The more the peace process unfolds, the odder it becomes. He seems to be losing control of his emotions, and prone to posting ill-judged invective at the easy target - Ukraine - and not Russia.

I still find it difficult to celebrate when I see footage of dead Russian soldiers, because I know that they are some mother's sons. However, Mr Genocide and now the orange one appear to be working on my inability to eulogise over the slaughter of Russian innocents. At their present rate of progress, I'll soon contrive no pleasure from any war footage, apart from videos of Moscow being reduced to a sheet of glass.
In the meantime, please keep posting videos of Russian apartment blocks being reduced to rubble, and their armoured divisions, munition dumps, oil terminals and warships ablaze. Viewing them gives me more pleasure than the euphoria that I've experienced from numerous viewings of Mitoma's opener against Chelski & Hove Albion.

I think it's clear that he hates Zelensky for his lack of deference and doesn't give a toss about Ukraine or its people. I don't think he cares about Russians either, but he sees them as a great nation (like the USA) and obviously styles himself on Putin as a strong leader.

Ultimately, I think he'll be happy with an end to the war that he can claim credit for as the great deal maker, whilst seeing Zelensky/Ukraine humbled and broken with Putin and Russia restored to the world stage.

My best hope is that Ukraine tells him to politely go f*** himself and that the free world unite behind them to fight Russia to a standstill and finally a humiliating retreat.

The submarine cable between Finland and Germany has been damaged again, near the Swedish island of Gotland.

Coincidence

 

[Binney on acid]

What a stupid place to put a submarine cable !

I would imagine there is some deep seated jealousy going on. Trump could live for another 100 years and never achieve a tiny fraction of the true bravery, leadership, humility, intelligence, respect and integrity that Zelensky holds.

Zelensky will go down in history as a true hero of the 21st century.

Trump will be forever remembered as a pathetic, lying, cheating, mysogenistic, racist loser, and a horrible stain on the legacy of the human race.

 

[maffew]

Reckon Trumps blaming Zelensky for his first impeachment, and Putins got dirt on him too.

 

[Triggaaar]

Trump will be forever remembered as a pathetic, lying, cheating, mysogenistic, racist loser, and a horrible stain on the legacy of the human race.

Trump will be remembered as the 5th US president to be assassinated.

I can dream can't I?
