Russia is going to demand lifting of sanctions, sign a deal and then break the deal and continue the war without sanctions from the USA
March 11, 2025 at 9:02 PM
Trump needs this excuse to lift sanctions on Russia.

This is not a peace deal, not even peace negotiations. This is the US weakening Ukraine, and force them to make concessions before the negotiations.

It seems his goal is to force Ukraine to surrender, steal its resources and let Moscow occupy the rest.

But to have a goal is not the same as to have a plan, or the mental capacity to make one.

Thank you for fact checking

We should be more averse to share false news, than to sharing nudes.

We need to make it a social norm that sharing a story without also sharing its verefied sources should be embarrassing.

I know. My response was to the meme. In reality it would be both absurd and stupid to make such a outrageous claim by France . And the same is the case with Trumps stupid, absurd and unreasonable demand to Ukraine.

It is a reasonable respons to Trumps "art of the deal diplomacy"

Allez en France!

The important word is "may", which in this case translates to "probably not" og "I hope they believe that"

90% chance that it is a trap.

Unfortunately I think that the best outcome Zelensky can hope for is to be able to leave

So, not only incompetent, but proudly incompetent.

And participation, Democracy is not about voting. It is about participation, dialogue, arguments, people organizing to work together for a common cause. When democracy is reduced to just a choice between a few leaders, it is failing.

Trump, Vance and MAGA would not recognize free speech if it hit them in the face with a 2x4"

But instead of using to (mostly) strengthen american and NATO defence, he will waste it on his useless "Beautiful Golden Dome"

USA is not under threat from rocket artillery, and basic game theory proves that IBM-defence is a bad strategy. Its a reason it was not done during the cold war

For Bricks to have a chance the Dollar must tank - Everything Trump does seems to benefit Moscow. That its because of stupidity, narcissism and dementia seems less and less likely

MAGA-US try to divide and conquer. Divide Ukraine, to make it easier for russia to conquer.

- In addition to backstabbing, and soon trade deals with russia....
March 8, 2025 at 2:32 PM
Alternatively: US Chamber of Comerce in Russia readies further betrayal and backstabbing of Ukraineand and European democracies.

Not surprised that the tariffs turned out to be just another way to open up for corruption.

They seem to just br a way to make it mandatory to bribe Trump to get an exeption.
