Well, it looks like my prediction was correct:

Trump and Putin will "reach an agreement." When Ukraine rejects it, Trump will claim Ukraine is the instigator and attempt to align the US against Ukraine with Russia as the US ally.

Watch.
Yup, seems overt to me. The intent was to create an offer Ukraine can't possibly agree to (like half their mineral rights for a conversation) so you have cassus belli when they refuse. Grotesque.

Think the odds of a successful Trump brokered ceasefire/peace deal are functionally at about zero percent now.

Our country now works to destroy Europe / NATO piece by piece. Already laying the groundwork for future Russian invasions after Ukraine.

United States demands Romania elect anti-NATO Pro-Russia puppet.
US officials in private meetings with Romanian counterparts in recent days have focused almost exclusively on the vote, warning them not to block the campaign of Calin Georgescu, a Trump champion who has denounced NATO and praised Vladimir Putin

I don't be surprised if Trump decides to send weapons and money to Russia...

This is the next step. At the very least, lifting of all sanctions. But yeah, that's the next step. An official announcement that Russia is our ally and "Ukraine is a fascist threat to democracy."

I called it last week. PCGeek teased me and asked if I had a crystal ball.

Apparently I do, because I saw this coming a fucking mile away.

It took so little for Trump to start echoing Russian narratives. We cannot hold elections while martial law is in effect, as it is enshrined in the Constitution. Moreover, it would be unfair for a large portion of the people who will not be able to vote because they are on the front lines.

Not to mention he's demanding it because he openly wants Russia to interfere and push some stooge into the presidency. Ukrainians are not stupid.

I've said even before Trump is in power.
The issue? China, Europe and the west, save for some countries will be against the USA which having the alliance with Russia will have the most ammount of nukes in the world...

I mean, Tulsi "Russian agent" Gabbard is DNI, so it's not surprising that they're suddenly piping Russian disinformation right into the racist LLM corpse.

It seems they don't just want to push some stooge in the presidential chair, but rather to turn us into a semi-recognized republic. After all, holding elections under such conditions would render our government illegitimate.

If you haven't already and your local House representative is Republican. Send them a message and let them know you stand with Ukraine. Even living in San Diego my local rep is a Republican Darrell Issa and I have already sent him a message letting him know my feelings on the subject and asking him if he stands with Ukraine. Even if your representative is Democrat make sure they also know you stand with Ukraine. It will only take a couple of Republicans in the House to start making noise about how they stand with Ukraine and they will refuse to push the Presidents agenda to cause Trouble for the GOP in Congress.

Trump is perhaps the worst deal maker of the century.
Even from his retarded business-deal addled mind. Ukraine will not hand over any mineral rights or easements to the United States now. And Russia never had any intent to either. From a business perspective has his "plan" done anything but hurt US business interests?

His 5D chess is more like chess for morons.

Large language model, like ChatGPT
That's what my search turned up but didn't see the relevance. I suppose you mean to say that the (AI) narrative is being skewed by racist propaganda. Gabbard is making that happen? Then AI is a tool for the wicked (villainous, infamous, depraved, corrupt, immoral, profane, ungodly, and unrighteous).

Trump's a fucking idiot, accusing Zelensky and Ukraine of starting the war. Zelensky is a genius, his remarks were brilliant. History will not treat Trump kindly. He makes Chamberlain look like a statesman of merit. A total embarrassment. This administration is so far by and large a face palm affair to put it mildly.

No. I'm saying Trump is a moron who just says random shit based on who is in the room. Just like ChatGPT only spits stuff out related to what you shove in.

Impotent? You mean literate.

You don't read

YOu don't know history. You wouldn't know a Nazi if they crawled up your bughole and diddled your fun gland with an iron cross, you ignorant dipshit.

Nazis are Nazis. Just because you won't admit what's smacking you in the face doesn't mean that everyone else is as dumb as you. Thing is: you know we are right. You're just so caught up in your embarrassed pride for voting Trump twice, almost certainly 3 times, that you won't own this fucking shit, you god damn fucking coward bitch. (or are you about to try and convince us that you voted for Hillary, Biden, and Kamala? lol)

Own it. Admit what is plainly true, and stop being such a fucking soft bitch coward, you useless clown. Or are you just gonna sit back while Vice Chancellor Musk takes away your VA benefits? You kinda need those, right?

I meant exactly what I said.

Do you realize how ignorant you look in this garbage you continually post?

Well, we certainly agree that Trump's a moron. It should be obvious to all and sundry, but it's not.

Trump is ally of Russia. Even the "deal" with China might end bad and is just a distraction to make that deal with Russia without issues

Dear Ukraine. Prepare your nuclear options. Even if it is just dirty bombs.
Why?
My local MAGA have the latest hair brained idea. They want the CIA to assassinate Ukraine's government leaders until the survivors surrender to Putin.
If something happens, you need to be prepared.
