Trump's kowtowing to Putin edges us closer to nuclear war

You think we have to kowtow to Russia.

Like you said, Trump is upset. But no one cares because he's impotent. An you seem to support that impotency.
Not much we can do to Russia at this stage. Our proxy war is failing.

No Trump and much of our military and foreign policy people are a joke living in a delusional fantasy world. Now reality is hitting them in the face. Ugly to watch but inevitable and predictable.
 
Zelensky et al should have looked at recent history before hopping into bed with us.

Well, now he's hopping out and Putin is threatening nuclear weapons.

Nice job, Trump.


I have stated precisely what we can do.
 
Nah, that sort of behavior has been par for the course for the beginning for Ukraine.

Wiping out these Russian planes seems like ratcheting it up.

Which won't accomplish anything except get more people killed. Congrats..

Trump's impotence is causing more people to be killed. Congrats.

Ya he could pull the plug that would end things quickly. With Ukraine and Israel. At until he was overridden.

Well, it empowers Russia to expand their empire efforts and Ukraine has shown they can do pretty well without us, so it seems more likely to drag things out than end things quickly.
 
Indeed. We've been doing it for decades.

And here we are with Russua threatening nuclear war.

It's time to stop rewarding them.

Rewarding them lol? No we've been trying to destroy them non stop for decades cause they refuse to get on their knees and bow to us. Imagine that. We even kicked them while they were down which in turn led to their current govt structure. Maybe we should stop meddling since we suck at it.
 
I think Russia is extremely unlikely to react well to ultimatums from a country considerable more aggressive than they are.

They aren’t reacting well now. Something has to change.
 

Stopping meddling is not only rewarding them, it’s causing Ukraine to strike out on its own with Putin threatening nuclear weapons.
 
Interesting how the number of planes “wiped out” keeps moving downwards with every passing report.

Doesn’t matter. The act itself is ratcheting up things.
 
Ukraine has carried out drone attacks and car bombings in Russia before.

With Russia now threatening to use nuclear weapons, things are definitely ratcheted up.

The Russians have made it very clear they don’t consider the use of nukes unthinkable for a while now.

On the other hand, they haven’t had a concrete reason to actually use them, because their conventional forces have managed to stabilize things on the ground
