  1. He never says how he will do that.

    If he was as strong as he thinks he is he would say he would force Putin to withdraw.

  2. Trump could make 10 vows before his breakfast and have forgotten all of them before midday. his vows have about as much importance as someone’s farts.

  3. Who said we want out of it? I want putin gone and Ukraine restored. Something trump, who is putin’s little puppet, will never accomplish.

    Isolationism is great and all until a major geopolitical event happens that inevitably comes knocking on your door once it escalates far enough. At that point it’s too late because it costs lives and resources that could have otherwise possibly been spared with a proactive approach.

    WWII was a good example of why it’s not a good idea to wait until someone makes it our problem. Best to nip it in the bud now before the shit flower blooms into a shit bouquet.

  5. Trump also claimed he would get the US out of Afghanistan and make a much better nuclear deal with Iran.. we all know how that went….

  6. At least the mere thread of trump again motivates Europe to get their shit together and build proper military for selfdefense again. As a European I see this as a plus in the long run.

  7. This is just getting the Republicans lined up to stop all funding before election and holding country hostage.

  8. It seems to be forgotten that Zelenskyy had a key roll in Trump’s first impeachment. Trump was trying to extort Zelenskyy, where Ukraine would get weapons Congress already approved in return for fake information regarding Biden family business involvement in Ukraine.

    Trump has no loyalty to Ukraine or NATO, and all loyalty to Putin. He’d do everything in his power to give Putin a quick victory at the cost of ripping apart NATO.

    Honest question to US redditors: How popular is this opinion in the US really?

    EDIT: Thank you all lovely people for your response. Really appreciate it! When one lives so close to the war (and Russia) as I do it’s too wasy to have tunnel vision and be super biased. Good to hear that there is still a lot of support for Ukraine

  11. When Trump was still in office in 2020, the CIA already knew that Russia was going to invade Ukraine and… Trump did NOTHING.
    He was a liar then.
    He is is a liar now.
    There was no way that could have prevented Russians invading Ukraine.

  12. Just so folks are tracking … this war started in 2014. The large-scale invasion 2 years ago, isn’t that only conflict there.

    Remember the whole quid pro quo? Subsequent impeachment? To refresh everyone’s memory, that was about weapons support to Ukraine against Russian agression.

    Come on America, don’t be victims of this guy’s rhetoric and falsehoods anymore.

    I can’t believe this guy is even allowed to run for President when he has been compromised by the Russians… my god.

    Surrendering to dictators and terrorists is Trump’s signature move on the international stage.

  15. Trump was impeached for trying to influence US elections by withholding funds for Ukrainian defense.

    He only serves himself, and by extension, pootins interests

  16. In what universe does the GOP think that Russia winning this war is good for European and hence American security?

    (How far back in time does one have to go to see Republicans as the party with a platform plank of “Russia as the Enemy”?)

  17. The political friendship merry go round could get very interesting. Iran is a very interesting interloper in this bromance. Putin has a new BFF in Iran and is certainly getting assistance in return for weapons technology. There are reports that Russia has supplied Iran with missile systems that are likely to end up in Houthi hands.

    How Trump is going to sell suddenly being pals with Iran I really don’t know. I can’t see Putin dropping them as they are a far more reliable partner than Trump.

  18. Glad to see him saying it out loud. My family is Ukrainian American, and there’s been some pushback over the idea that Trump would abandon Ukraine (Trump guys not paying attention to reality, who would have guessed?). Hearing it straight from the horse’s mouth changes things.

  19. Unlikely_Major_6006 on

    I’m pretty sure Putin came up with the idea while he had Trump bent over a desk trousers around his ankles

  20. You know what I find very interesting? He never says a word about Gaza. He never says a word about what his plan is regarding the middle east. Even when he did the Lex Fridman podcast, there wasn’t a single question related to Gaza. Now my speculation here is because he genuinely doesn’t want to talk about it. Because his stance is not necessarily better than what the democratic party is doing. But if he’s able to remain silent, many people can assume he’ll be better on this than the democratic party.

  21. Seriously, if you’re a trump supporter stop kidding yourself and saying he’s a smart business man or a masterful politician. The dude is a self egotistical asshole and liar. Whatever he says is done with how does this benefit me.

    – The US is only ‘in’ the war as proxy by supplying old weapons/equipment which would be sitting on storage COSTING the US maintenan fees
    – Since the supplies are being used, guess what! It’s creating American jobs and GDP (which you guys love to rent about) by forcing us to replenish our stock piles with new equipment
    – last I checked, Trump’s butt buddy, started the war by invading Ukraine

    Just admit you prefer a racist asshole in the office because you don’t want a woman if color running the US executive branch. We won’t think any less of you. We will actually finally acknowledge youre truthful for once

  22. Remember, folks, he already has a plan to end the war right now, before he’s even elected. He’s just choosing to not share his plan, because he doesn’t value human life. I mean, anyone who gave a shit would just share the plan and not worry about credit. Not Donny though, he is ok with people dying in large numbers in order for him to be able to share this magical plan… I’m sure it’s sitting right next to his medical plan and his tax documents. He has a bunch of things to show us…

  23. You wonder if Zelensky, in his publicized meeting (or future meeting?) with Trump will drop some false plans just to see what makes it’s way back to Daddy Putin?

  24. Did Biden invade Russia? No.
    Did Ukraine invade Russia? No.
    Did Russia invade Ukraine? Yes.

    STFU Donald you dumbass MAGA moron.

  25. The Republicans of today are barely a remnant of what they used to be. Before the internet and cell phones in particular the support and funding was raised by economically concerned groups who held certain philosophical principles (regardless of if you liked or not), while today the base is a bunch of easily swayed morons with phones in their hands and little insight beyond celebrity and bad manners.

    I’ve always been a conservative leaning libertarian who has registered between Republican and Independent but never Democrat, but I will be voting straight Democrat this November and should Kamala Harris show herself to be a good representative of ALL Americans and not pander to the far-too-rich-on-the-backs-of-the-working-class millionaires and billionaires I may just be a Democrat in four years. I used to defend wealth, but the rich have no limits set by common decency anymore and care little for the common person.

  26. The way to get America out of this war is to help Ukraine win.

    Donald trump is a threat to American democracy and democracy abroad.

    The collapse of Hamas and Hezbullah have made Iran question the benefit of being Putin’s friend, so Putin is pressuring Mar A Lago. Mar A Lago delivers.
