President Donald Trump said Tuesday that Ukraine can win back all territory lost to Russia, a dramatic shift from the U.S. leader’s call on Kyiv to make concessions to end the war.

      I was going to say, when it comes to Ukraine, this orange fuck flip flops more than the footwear with the same name

    Yeah… And tomorrow he’ll get a text from Vladimir telling him he has a very large penis and he’ll change his mind.

    Trump is a gullible simpleton who only reacts depending whatever is flying through his pre-dementia brain the instant he opens his trap, and whoever last flattered him or bribed him.

    I’m going to guess that since Europe is going towards full self reliance in arms procurement, and the US defense producers are seeing their sales tank, he has been told that this is a way to sell stuff, at least short term, since the European ramp up will take some time.

      Don’t need to guess, Trump has gone on at length about how great he is because he’s selling US made weapons. He said these things while sitting beside Zelenskyy the leader of a country fighting for it’s existence.

        The thing is that Europe will only buy whatever is not produced locally… yet.

        Things like Patriots and the like. Europe can produce most stuff right now, and is working on the rest. Things like 6th Gen fighters are in the pipeline (if France stops dicking around, as usual, with their project direction fetish), patriot equivalents should be reasonably easy, etc. Politics is the usually the hurdle, but many multinational programs have been succesful, and there is a real incentive now.

          Oh for sure… and this is a good thing. But Trump doesn’t give a shit if the US is fucked in the long term. If anything I think he wants to US to be fucked after he’s gone so the next guy will be considered a worse President in comparison.

          Short term is US is selling weapons to Europe, and that’s all he cares about.

    Surprise! The universe doesn’t revolve around this jackass. It’s Ukraine’s land with or without Mango Mussolini’s blessing.

      Didn’t he say he was going to solve this thing on day 1? Maybe he meant to say one day.

      You know what though, I hope he does. I hope he solves it all in a way that allows us not to have WW3. I hope the rat fuck gets in the history books as having solved it. I don’t care who does, as long as it’s solved.

    “I think Ukraine, with the support of the European Union, is in a position to fight and WIN"

    Europe should totally buy tons of our US made weapons and send to Ukraine. That way Ukraine is guaranteed to win

    That’s nice, who says you have any say or that your demented opinions matter?
