    So the agreement the ghoul he put in place at the treasury department said was going to be signed soon will not be signed.

    Remember when he said, “24 hours after he’d be president, he’d have peace?”

      That’s part of a desensitization strategy where trumpy makes outlandish claims nobody takes seriously so if he manages to deliver on a single one out of hundreds of such, he’s celebrated as a visionary. So republicans are measured by their successes and Democrats are measured by their failures, no matter how low those rates may be for each.

      Yeah but on one hand you hold the possibility of peace and in the other rampant profiteering.

      For an absolute scumbag the choice is obvious, no?

    Trump, not America, but Donald J Trump gets the entire of post-Soviet Ukraine, including 10th century Kievan Rus lands, on the condition that he settles those lands for 100 years. This is non-negotiable.

    Let’s let greed play itself out

      A more realistic counter-proposal: Ukraine will negotiate a trade deal with China, because China is not under Putin’s influence - on the contrary, Putin is heavily dependent on China and under their influence. At this point, they can tell him to stop. He’s very low on reserves.

      JFK defunded them all, and Reagan put the nail in the coffin and shut them all down.
