“He could have done that, but it didn’t happen. Yes, the question probably wasn’t pressing at the time because there was no full-scale invasion.

“But our territories were occupied.”

of course, we all know what Trump did do: he tried to extort Zalenskyy for dirt on Hunter Biden by withholding relief funding that the US Congress had already authorized to send to Ukraine. He was even impeached over it.

    Inb4 the lemmygrad.ml pro-Putin brigade that will tell everyone how Ukraine should roll over and die and the U.S. is nothing but a warmonger.

    I’m sure Trump will deliver an end to the war in Ukraine juuust as soon as he comes through with Infrastructure Week.

      Is crazy. Putin’s behavior is not marxist or communist. He’s a mob boss. A fascist dictator. He is heavy into nationalism and racism to maintain his power.

      I guess Trump really doesn’t want Putin to release that tape of him getting pissed on by a stripper.

        LOL. That whole “pissed on by a stripper” thing turned out to be a total fabrication just like the Russia collusion accusations were.

    The only people who benefit from continuing the war are those selling the armor: the captialists.

    The lives of everyday Ukrainians will be better with a swift end to this tragedy. Once it’s over, the can rebuild their communities and get back to life.

      and the Ukrainians who survived the invasion.

      You seem to hate capitalists so much, you forget the freedom of the pressed people stricken by illegal invasion of their lands. Free yourself from hate and open your eyes. Your dogma limits you.

        Yikes! I dunno about that. Sooner the war ends the better and protracted fighting kills Ukrainians and their communities. Strange there’s a counter-point to this.

          obviously, a sooner end would be better, but that’s not going to happen until Russia ends its illegal invasion and leaves Ukraine. It’s purely up to Russia to leave, and nobody but Russia is to blame for drawing out this war by refusing to end their illegal invasion.

          So, Russia needs to fuck off and leave. Until they do, it’s 100% their fault for every bad thing that happens as a consequence of their illegal invasion.

          fighting kills Ukrainians and their communities

          more Russians than Ukrainians, and the Ukranians will gladly die for their freedom from fascist Russian invasion. As they should.

            Russia has a capitalist class too. Maybe we have a misunderstanding over who I am talking about when I say capitalists.

              ok… maybe we do. I’m not a capitalist, since you didn’t bother to ask, but it doesn’t have ANY bearing on this conversation. The economic system of a nation has zero bearing on whether it’s right or wrong to invade another sovereign nation for the purpose of taking it over. THAT is what Russia is doing to Ukraine (and both are capitalist, btw). That’s why Russia is wrong and should be resisted.

    Warmongers who claim that the usa is not involved in this war get rekt. This is evidence that usa is involved.
