Does one need any more evidence that Trump is working for Putin?

Interesting you bring up WWII. Without the USA and the USSR how do you think things would have turned out?

Why go off-topic with a daft question........?  

 

[Walker88]

In 3 years Putin has been unable to capture Kiev from the courageous Ukrainians, but on the plus side, it only took about a month to capture the White House from the toadies, quislings and cowards.

You are so keen on the war, so why are you posting about it and not at the front lines fighting for Zelensky?

That's one of the stupidest answers I've been able to read here so far. 

All that can be learned from this situation so far is the fact that the USA is no longer good as an ally. All NATO countries now know that the USA is no longer a partner. Germany is now releasing 800 billion euros for the strengthening of the German army and the other European states are doing the same. The US is isolating itself. MAGA? No, Make America Small And Isolated, you orange clown with your black-clad influencer.

Exactly. When did the left start caring about Ukraine anyways?

 

Obama seemed to love Russia and Putin, not as much as he loved Iran, but a good bit.

 

Snipped for brevity. At the time Obama was dealing with the major threat to stability; ISIS. I believe it is generally considered Obama made mistakes in response to Russian insurgency in Donbas and Crimea take over. Obama's response to criticism:

A direct quote from Putin him self not  'its reported' or 'a leaked document' or an opinion piece. 

To save you looking again, it doenst exist. Putin is a clever man, do you really think if his intention was to retanke past Russian territories he'd be announcing it ? Putin is clever, you are the oppoiste. 

 

Yeah Putin was so clever his military planning for the invasion was picked up by spy satellites and Ukraine warned. Thought you would response with nonsense. The quotes provided were from Putin's speeches or are you doing the usual MAGA reaction, fake news blah, blah

America's New Ally: Russia The President of the United States shouts at a long-time ally in front of the assembled press. Yes, as sad as it is, the US is leaving the world order it has created.

But they were not from his speaches were they, at no point has Putin said he wants to restore Soviet era territory. You can post western opinions of what he said all day long, its Still untrue

Good, That world order old war mentality is out of date.

What's wrong with having Russia as an ally? The only people that lose are the arms manufacturing companies

What about those who have been fired from DOGE and are still being fired? Will they be better off?

Above all ministries and leadership offices sit only compliant executors of orange Donnie's orders, but no more competent experts. Does anyone think that this is not to the detriment of the USA? Donnie is not competent. He is just a vain buffoon who wants to be like a Napoleon.

What a load of BS     you need to read putins books,  also many times in his speaches he has said he wants to restore the old Soviet era territory  

Part of one of his books  President Vladimir Putin called the 1991 Soviet breakup "the greatest geopolitical
catastrophe of the century" and does not hide his aim to reassemble the Soviet Union by
incorporating the near abroad into his Eurasian Economic Union

the guy is a megalomaniac he thinks he is peter the great !!

A letter from Napoleon to Trump

 

Dear Monsieur Trump,

With increasing misguided pleasure, I have been pursuing their efforts for a while to complain to the top position among the big ones in history. Mon Cher Ami, let yourself be said: this place is already occupied. And although the call of unteachability is preceded by you, I will send you these well -meaning objections in the hope of dissuading you from your mission impossible.

"The career is open to the talents," I always care for. And I am convinced of that, after all, I am the living proof of this. With your little, I would like to register softly. Très Bien, they made it to the president for the second time. This may be a greater performance than some would have believed. For me, it testifies to the misconception of their people, which once had the audacity, to equate my separated penis with a crushed eel and to issue it publicly. Swell Créins! Nevertheless, it surprises me that this once so proud nation a questionable Homme d'Affaires how it could raise into office. From the sublime to the ridiculous it is often just a step.

 I may be less familiar with today's times. Nevertheless, it seems to me at best if a self -explanatory "king" baseds his wisdom on the trials and tribulations of TV Réalité. Voltaire, Goethe, Rousseau - these are the names with which he was supposed to deal with, Caesar, Alexander the Great and Hannibal, the heroes to whom he would have to pursue. And by the latter, I don't mean this psychopath dérangé, which you can deliberately mention.

 I cannot avoid attesting your foreign policy affairs a lack of consequence that is not a truly big ruler. For example, let's take your efforts to spark an customs war. That may be a clever train to raise the nations against them, bee. But If so, please do it right: I have built a continental lock in my time that almost drove all of Europe - including my own kingdom. If you do stupidness, at least they have to succeed.

 It is the success that makes the big men - but what are you noteworthy success? The path to true size requires large deeds - and titles. I was the first consul and crowned myself to the emperor. I became the king of Italy and carrier of the elephant order. Statues have been built by me, written books about my life, plants named after me. And you? So far, they have only fantasized in front of tasteless gold statues that wear their visa. And a poeted picture with a crown does not make any aristocrat. Not everyone dominates art to declare themselves as the sole ruler.

 Her endeavor to make my fame my effort is particularly bad. Use a wrong quote and Set up a crown, close closest family members and followers in power positions, undermine the media with systematic "press work" and to stage themselves as a chosen salvation - all just to emulate me? Pathétique! Apart from the fact that there can only be one original - and that is me - I am deeply misunderstood to be associated with their questionable practices and manners. And their attempts to stretch their fingers to things that are outside their range sometimes seem as clumsy as the hand that it leads.

 Finally, I would like to pronounce two warnings - you should not let my letter not be dissuaded from your fruitless efforts to climb the levels of glory. They dine from painful experiences that I don't like to say a word about. First, if you put all your trust in Russia, you may be like me. I also closed Generous as I was, a peace that the ungrateful tsar broke only a short time later.

 Secondly, the anger of the people wakes up faster than they can guess. Your second term of office does not take a hundred days like the mine, but I assure you: the voices that want your abdication are already loud and clearly heard. As soon as happiness turns, the rabble becomes ungrateful. It's all well and good, the Russian campaign may not have been successful and in retrospect I might have been satisfied with my small kingdom on Elba (you call your well-being Mar-A-Lago)-but who can predict this. And before you know it, you end up on a lonely, barren island. Alone. Source Farce!

 Last but not least: I came to the ears of how they once noticed during a visit to France that it didn't end with me. However, if you think you could walk in my oversized footsteps without one All I have to do is share a similar fate to tell them: Bonne chance.

 With delightful greetings

 Napoleon Bonaparte (the real)

Why?

All war mongers should put their boots where their mouths are and go fight for whichever side they support. It's not like they won't be welcomed.

 

Hiding behind their computer screens while others do the hard yards is cowardly, IMO.

 

Old- no problem, armies need waiters in the officers mess and bottle washers. Free up a Ukrainian to go die for Zelensky.
