Trump refuses to say if he wants Ukraine to win the war
During the first presidential debate, the former president said he wanted the "war to stop" when asked if he wanted Ukraine to win against Russia.
You're viewing a single thread.
Reminder that Zelenskyy basically called Trump's bluff on his plan, encouraging him to share it now.
It's hardly worthy of being called a bluff.
Everyone knows Trump would just force a Russian victory. He could do that just by refusing further support for Ukraine.

It would be great if we stopped spending money on foreign wars, but why can't the democrats adopt an anti-war position rather than trying to out-warmonger the republicans?
It would be great if we stopped spending money on fighting Hitler, but why can't we all just adopt an anti-war position and give Hitler what he wants rather than out-warmonger him!?
Genius plan.
You want the warmongering to stop? Then get on Telegram and starting telling that to Russians. Tell Putin.
Putin sucks but he's no Hitler.
Also I can't even get Putin to comp my rent why do you think he would listen to me?
Yes he is. He's pretty much Hitler in every way. What, are you waiting for 1940s Hitler and literal gas chambers to pop up until the dots become connected?
- Invading foreign nation under the false pretenses of protecting Ethnic minorities.
- All the while actively purging dissidents inside Russia.
Seems pretty Hitler-like to me. You're right, Hitler didn't listen to calls for him to step down either.
You seem like you've got it all figured out
No, not all; just more so than you.
If a country (Russia) has decided it wants to be aggressive, then there are really only two ways to prevent a war with them:
- Increase your own strength
- Decrease their strength
Usually, number 1 is the only feasible way for a country without outright opening up hostilities. However, Russia has given the world an opportunity, by attacking Ukraine, to enact number 2 relatively risk-free.
I fully believe that if Russia is given leeway then they'd just continue on. Appeasement, as World War 2 has shown, does not work with personalities like that. By supporting Ukraine in this conflict, number 2 can be accomplished.
And this war can be stopped, today! By Russia withdrawing from Ukraine. So please, aim your ire at Putin who started and stubbornly keeps this war going.
I would expect nothing less from a .de domain 😬

Thank you for that insightful rebuttal.
Sorry I just get a bit triggered when I hear Germans talking about needing to increase their strength due to aggressive outside threats causing internal economic strife.
It's the concept of a plan. Wat a weird concept.
